The All-New Island Is….

Wait for it…..

Wait for it….

PIE ISLAND! 😀

Not the real island 😛 The name of it is…

GAME SHOW ISLAND!

All the info was posted today on the official island page!  http://www.poptropica.com/island-tour/gameshow-island.html

Welcome to a future where robots rule. Building computers to compete on TV game shows seemed like a funny idea – until the machines wanted more. Now, after years of robotic dominance, Poptropica needs a savior. Are you clever enough to beat the robots at their own games, and restore the dignity of all Poptropicans?

Sounds interesting! Looks like the “super-smart robots have taken over the world by winning all the money and prizes from game shows.”  (PCB) This is probably the island where the E.Vile robots originate and where the Mr. Yoshi stuff come from. IF you remember all of the Daily Pop sneak peeks about robots and such, this is the island! Can’t wait for this one! 😀 More info will follow soon!

Two new members-only costumes have made their way back to town too: The Cryptids Nessie Hat and the Hypnotic Costume!

The Cryptid Nessie Hat was only obtained if you happened to spot the Loch Ness Monster in the Cryptid minigame! This was one of the rare prizes. The hypnotic used to be obtained by clicking the middle window four floors up from the ground on the green building in Poptropica Towers on Early Poptropica. It’s still there, but if you click on the window, it will say member’s only. This has been noticed by many PHB readers. Get them while they’re hot, because you only have a week to date to get these elusive costumes! And if you haven’t got the 4th birthday costume, keep trying! 🙂

Adventures go global

A day or so ago Dr. Hare posted a new post with another sneak peek picture to hint where he was. The hint was a kangaroo crossing… surely this could only be at one place where kangaroos are located – Australia! Here was the image posted some days ago:

Well, looks pretty happy, eh? Might as well give up on his evil schemes and enjoy himself around the world xD. Now’s it’s revealed that the evil genius was indeed in…drumroll…you guessed it…The North Pole…no? Just kidding, everyone. He was really in Bells Beach in Australia as revealed in today’s image.

And there he is clutching a leaf in his hand. I wonder how he got all over these places…and so fast…maybe the creators had people in different regions buy a toy and take a picture? Hmm. It is to be wondered.

Anyways, thinking about tracking all Dr. Hare’s travels? Well, the creators released a nifty tool that is to be updated on a basis. Here’s the map they gave for us. You can scroll around the map by moving your cursor. There will be carrot markings for each area he went. You can then click on the markings and location name to bring up a picture he took for that PCB post and also some blogging words from the evil bunny.

It can be viewed on this SWF link:

Greetings, everyone. Right now I’m posting about something major announced on the PCB. Let’s get right to it shall we?

Remember Poptropica The Official Guide? It is said to be released on October 13th. There’s guides in it, info, even a fold out poster. The guide is coming really soon, but to celebrate the creators have planned something very special 😉

A scavenger hunt will be run on Poptropica based on this book :D. This is a rare activity that I must say I’ve never seen anything like it on Poptropica. Three clues will be revealed each week on the PCB. You must have a copy of this guide with you to take part in the scavenger hunt according to the official webpage http://www.poptropica.com/books/official-guide-poptropica.html. Once you have found the answers to all three clues, you win prizes for that week! According to the website there are three scavenger hunts:

Scavenger Hunt 1: 10/13/11-10/26/11

Scavenger Hunt 2: 10/27/11-11/9/11

Scavenger Hunt 3: 11/10/11-11/23/11

The scavenger hunts goes all through September and mostly through October. On the bottom of the webpage there’s a special video from Jeff Kinney titled “Jeff Kinney talks about Poptropica.” In the video the creator of the virtual game. The video is 2 minutes in length and basically explains the virtual world of Poptropica on “how to get started” and how “it’s an interactive and entertaining game.” Be sure to check it out if you have time.

Ughh, well I’m sick this week for 5 days now with Influenza. Flu season is starting again D: EP out!

And so the members once again get a new Store surprise!

New this week in the Poptropica Store

The birthday party continues with the return of two Members-only items to the Poptropica Store:

From now until the end of September, Poptropica Members can get the Paper Boy and Girl costumes, as well as the Skullduggery Pirate, from the Poptropica Store. Act fast — they’ll be gone when September is. Not a Member yet? Find out how to become a Poptropica Member today!

Remember these super cool costumes? ^^ Never got the chance to catch them? D:

Luckily, these amazing outfits are back for you lucky Poptropica Members. But only for September– you’ll have to act quick about it! The Skullduggery one is especially fitting because today, September 19th, 2011, is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! ARR!

Now you can look super cool while looking like a human patch of paper and wearing eyepatches– all while finishing Mystery Train Island!

So maybe it’s not an ideal combination. But you’ll still look pretty stylish! 😉 Maybe if you have a weird sense of humor like me

“Can you hear me now? Good.”

*looks out over the audience*

Whoops! Didn’t know I was live! Hold on a sec. *goes back to conversation*

“Gotta go! Bye!”

Um, that was awkward. So anyway, the Creators’ have posted a sneak peek of something that they’ve been working on! Could it be…?

If you didn’t get why I bolded the top, that’s why 😛 VERIZON! It looks like Potpropica may be releasing a mobile app in the near future! From a worldwide game to membership, toys, plushies, fast food, a book, and now it spreads to mobile! Do you think you will buy this on your phones or iPods Touches? I know I will.  😀 The battery, phone signal, brand, and a few lines in the PCB post make it obvious that this will be mobile! 🙂 So what do you think about this app?

New ad alert! Poptropica included a Majors and Minors ad, a new reality TV show including singers! The ad building could probably be found on any Main Street. you can take a quiz game, read the synopsis, watch a trailer, and get a prize: A Majors and Minors follower! It’s actually a treble clef following you (Which is kinda creepy to me O.o). Walkthrough below by LS w/ background music of Animal by Neon Trees 😀
