Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island

The gates of the factory are open…

Brave Tomato

… for Early Access! That’s right, as of yesterday, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is now available for members, and nonmembers can now play the demo! Also, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will open to the public on December 6th, the same day the members-only Oompa-Loompa costume will disappear from the Poptropica Store…

In honor of CatCF, once again, the home page has a few visitors!

The interesting thing about this home screen change is that Willy Wonka stops for a second to do a little dance before continuing running to the right.

Anyways, there’s no guide yet, but there will be one as soon as possible! 😉 Also, today, the trailer for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was released (although it’s technically not a “trailer” if it is released AFTER the island came out… let’s just call it a video)

So have you played Charlie and the Chocolate Factory yet? What do you think?

BT out!

Willy Gold Cards

Today, the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory members golden tickets, erm, golden cards have arrived in the Poptropica Store- the Everlasting Gobstopper, the Oompa-Loompa power, and the Oompa-Loompa costume! 😀

Just seeing the gold makes me anxious… anyways, here’s a look at what the items do…

The Everlasting Gobstopper is a power similar to the bubble gum- your Poptropican’s mouth does the same chewing motion, and every once in a while, a random fruit will appear over your head, probably indicating the flavor of the gobstopper you are currently on. There’s watermelon, lemon, blueberry, and cherry

Moving right along, there’s the Oompa-Loompa Power. If you click on it, a little Oompa-Loompa will come to you and give you a peppermint candy to hold! Perfect for confidence and energy boosts!

Finally, my personal candy slave giver! And speaking of those Oompa-Loompas, you can dress up as one, too!

This is the male version:

And this is the female version:

If you’re planning to get the Oompa-Loompa costume, don’t procrastinate! It’s only available from now until the island comes out to the public!

As usual, the release of these golden tickets…er… gold cards (Why do I keep saying that???) hint to us that the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island release day is not too far away!

Are you ready to feed your imagination?

BT out!

Paper King and Queen, DS Game Walkthrough available on the PHB, and new books out… sucker!

The second costume of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Multi-Prize Card has been unlocked! If you haven’t already, enter the promo code wimpy2012 on Poptropica to get the new paper king costume for boys, and queen for girls.

Thanks to Michelle and Samwow5 for the heads-up. If you already unlocked this promo code for the first costume, you can find the item card in your Store inventory. Just click on the now-unlocked “2” to customize from the new costume! Perhaps it’s for the Valentine’s Dance in the new book, The Third Wheel.

Poptropica’s been busy expanding their franchise, and earlier this week, they released their first Nintendo DS game, Poptropica Adventures! Here’s a shout-out to our friend Blake for writing the PHB’s walkthrough on the game, which can be found here under the Island Help page’s MiniQuests section.

On Thursday, Poptropica released four new books, which you can learn about on their official Books page. There’s Skullduggery Island and Astro-Knights Island, novels written about the islands’ plot. Pencil Warrior is a full-color doodle book, and Poptropica Mad Libs should be pretty self-explanatory if you’ve encountered Mad Libs before – fill in blanks to create nonsensical yet funny stories!

Oh and, don’t be offended by the “sucker” in the title… it’s not you! Just wanted to share a quick joke from PHB reader Daniel. Here it is.

Haha, hope that made you smile! Have a great weekend! 😀

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel (Ad)

Slanted Fish

There’s a new Diary of a Wimpy Kid ad game for the 7th book in the series, titled The Third Wheel and written by Poptropica Creator Jeff Kinney. (Also, if you want more wimpy-themed prizes, enter the promo code wimpy2012. Click here for more info.)

The book comes out on November 13th! Thanks to Samwow5 for the picture above and walkthrough help.

To play the game, go inside and talk to Greg. You’ll need to help Greg dance so that he can pass Phys-Ed class. Watch his moves, then copy them with the keyboard or mouse when it’s your turn.

Once you win, you’ll get the Greg Dance Outfit (boys)/Wimpy Girl Dance Outfit (girls) and Silly Dance Power. Happy dancing… and don’t trip! 😛

Embark on your Poptropica Adventures starting… now! (DS Game Released)

Slanted Fish

That’s right! After months of anticipation, Poptropica Adventures for the Nintendo DS is now available and ready to rock your world. Or three islands of it, at least.

For US$29.99, you can buy the video game from retailers such as Best Buy, Toys’R’Us, or GameStop. If you can’t find it in a local store, there’s also Amazon.com, where you can order online and have it shipped to your address, especially if you live outside of the US. The purchase comes with a code for two new costumes you can unlock on Poptropica!

Hopefully we will have a walkthrough for this game on this blog soon! Anyone is welcome to help contribute as always. (Update: Our guide is now up! Thanks Blake!) If you have the game or tried it already, let us know what you think! 😀
