Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Serious Heart. Enjoy!
Over the Top: Things are looking up.
Hello! This is Serious Heart again, this time with the prologue of a new story, The Chronicles of Friendly Thunder. I hope you enjoy it!
FADE IN.
NARRATOR:
Our story begins on the quiet island of Early Poptropica. A thirteen-year-old boy named Friendly Thunder is studying for his math test. Well then. Let’s begin!
Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat? A cavern of wonders awaits on Home Island, promoting Disney’s upcoming live action remake of The Little Mermaid.
Thanks to Dizzy Feather for the tip and pics!
Head inside and Ariel will invite you to help her find a thingamabob. Borrowing from the mechanisms of Poseidon’s realm in Mythology Island, this mini-game will have you swimming around an underwater maze, avoiding eels and grabbing at oxygen bubbles along the way.
You can also collect 15 coins scattered throughout the cave, but they’re not necessary to complete the quest. Soon enough, you’ll make it to the bottom-left corner, where you’ll find the treasure: a dinglehopper! 🍴
You’ll win a Trident & Mertail and a Sebastian Follower. When you press the space bar, the crabby character spits lines from The Little Mermaid. 🦀 Enjoy the sea views, and sea you later!

Episode Three: To the Sky!
The sky outside a certain theater is a darkening blue, with stripes of gold and pink clouds slashing through the sky. The small mountains in the distance are a beautiful greenish blue color and if you just look up, up, up, the crescent shaped moon glows slightly.
But then if you look down, down at the city, you’d see that it is blueish also. How could a city be so blue? It isn’t raining, or flooded…
Hello again, Poptropicans! Dropping by with a few updates!
Unfortunately, the Creator’s Blog still hasn’t been active since the end of February, but there have been small updates on social media and additions — or in one case, a subtraction — to the game itself.
First, let’s show off some wonderful fan art features from the official Pop Instagram. Click the artists’ names to view the original posts!
The Creators also announced this month’s member gifts: a WhitePhantom Rogue costume, White Phantom Rogue Power that turns you partially invisible, and a White Phantom Butterfly Follower. 🦋
The ensemble is a little unusual compared to most other outfits in the game, particularly because of its monochrome color palette. Nonetheless, it’s interesting and quite refreshing!
Meanwhile, non-members and members alike can go shopping with the new rotation at Adventure Outfitters, now stocked with swords aplenty. If only these Astro-Knights came with the long-lost island itself! ⚔️
Have you been keeping up with the Daily Comics from the in-game map? After 300+ strips from the series which began its daily showings in July 2022, the comic strips have been reset. So rather than continuing on with the story, which had ended on a cliffhanger, the strips have been removed and are now being re-uploaded from the beginning. Seems like this was just another way for Pop to manufacture novelty!
Finally, long-time Poptropica CreatorJonathan Pitcher posted a couple tweets on his personal account related to his work for the game: a piece of concept art for the Multi-Tool in Steamworks Island, and compliments to pop band AJR for being his muse as he works.
There's something to AJR. Those guys never fail to help me get my creative juices flowing while I'm working on Poptropica. #AJR#poptropicapic.twitter.com/3Fjz7pO31O
So, are you about to joinamasquerade while donning your phantom costume? Will you listen to the music of the night as you work late into the days on fanart? Are you interested in going down once more into the antics of Jorge and Oliver?
Whatever you plan on doing, all I ask of you is that you think of me and the PHB team as you continue on your adventures!
