Poptropica Mad Libs and possibly other books?

Slanted Fish

We all know Poptropica released an Official Guide Book, but while searching the Barnes & Noble website, PHB reader Muddy Axe discovered there could be more Poptropica books to be published!

As many people know, Mad Libs is a popular word game for kids where you pick random words based on parts of speech, then fill it into the blanks of a story for hilarious, nonsensical results. And now, Barnes & Noble lists a book called Poptropica Mad Libs by Roger Price available for pre-order.

There is also a pre-orderable book titled Poptropica Lime 1 by Elizabeth Corfe, and according to Amazon, “This title is part of Pearson’s Bug Club – the first whole-school reading programme that joins books and an online reading world to teach today’s children to read. In this book: Discover the online secrets of Poptropica. This title is suitable for ages 6-7 (Lime level).”

Do you think you’ll be buying these new titles if/when they’re released?

Here come the Dog Days

Slanted Fish

There’s a new big advertisement game in Poptropica, and it’s for none other than Poptropica creator Jeff Kinney’s upcoming Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, Dog Days!

This YouTube walkthrough from InsidersNetwork shows you all you need to do to win FOUR great prizes: Fruit Smoothie (Hand Item), Fregley’s Bandaid Costume, Soggy Cell Phone, and Dog Bowl.

  1. Fruit Smoothie: from Snack Bar Waiter, a waiter serving game much like the Mystery Train pre-island-release minigame
  2. Fregley’s Bandaid Costume: from the Perfect Splash game a bit like the Diving event from the Poptropolis Games
  3. Soggy Cell Phone: from the Water Ball Bounce, a beach volleyball game played in the pool
  4. Dog Bowl: from Ice Cream Balance, where you’ll need to bring the ice cream safely to Greg!

Looking forward to the Dog Days movie? It comes out on August 3rd! Click here to watch the trailer.

Have fun & enjoy the prizes!

PHB Parties, Web Development

A Party “Four” the PHB: Happy Birthday!

Slanted Fish

As you may know, this Poptropica Help Blog (PHB) turned four years old on July 26th! PHB readers were invited to join the mega party on the PHC and it was a blast.

The chatroom was filled with lots of people, the conversations were rapid, there was some DJing with the YouTube player, and the Multiverse room exploded in fireworks, balloons, and birthday cake hats. Many authors showed up for the PHC/PHB Author Night – Slanted Fish, MT, Shaggy, Super Thunder, Brave Tomato, Rainbow Dash, and even past author Cool Wing.

There were lots of chat regulars and new faces, so thank you to everyone who came to hang out with us and have fun! And for those who couldn’t make it, remember that the PHC is open all the time as a regular chatroom for Poptropicans. 🙂

Happy birthday, PHB!

It’s been a great 4 years & we hope it only gets better.

Lunar Colony Island, Uncategorized

Skull-Loving Hares

MT

Hey there, Poptropicans! This entire week, as you’ve heard, the Creators are sharing some of their favorite islands for once! You’ve heard from Director D and Captain Crawfish, but now it’s Dr. Hare’s turn! Take a wild guess!

It’s …

..wait for it…

..it’s coming up

…I promise..

Congrats if you’ve guessed ..

..none other than the infamous Skullduggery Island! From the words of the mischievous rabbit himself, he favors it mostly because of the variety in gameplay, from the questing to the battling and to the trading. I wonder who’ll expose their favorite tomorrow.
