etc etc. The title is what the countdown meter on the poptropica homepage when I logged on today. So that means in a little over two hours it’s only one and a half days until the members can start their adventure on game show island. I’m pretty excited, but really it’s sort of just a mixture between Steamworks and RTV. Anyway, here is a post that showed up on the PCB.
There are still two days to wait until Game Show Island becomes available. But if you’re a Poptropica Member, you can get a taste of the robot revolution right now in the Poptropica Store.
The Game Show Robot is available now for Poptropica Members. As with every costume and Gold Card in the store, Members can use this costume for as long as their Membership is active.
What are you waiting for? Find out how to become a Member today!
BLACK WIDOW
So, advertising the membership just before they release. Sneakier than an art thief with an alibi. As our favourite french detective with the curly mushtache would say, “But it did not confuse Pairot”. Or in this case Green Boa. 😆
The creators gave us a heads up in their new post on the PCB. This head’s up is to inform us that the first scavenger hunt will soon be over! By 10/26/11, in just about 5 days, the first scavenger hunt will end, and the second one will start a day later on the 27th! If you haven’t bought the book yet and want it, there’s still time left to quickly make a purchase, then hunt for the answers!
But of course, the answers to all three questions have been easily figured out by some of our readers. Special thanks to the PHB readers and commenters for providing these answers! For those of you wh0 actually want a hunt, then don’t read this bottom part, it’s the answer to the code. Don’t read it if you want the thrill of a hunt. But for those of you seriously stuck, or who didn’t purchase the book, the code is below:
Title of Poptropica villian on page 45 = dr.Hare (it doesnt fit so you just put ‘DR’)
rank of Poptropica villian on page 133 = captain crawfish (His rank is captain, so write ‘CAPTAIN’)
size of Poptropica villian on page 174 = BIG, LARGE (in Spanish, so you type ‘GRANDE’)
So the final code: DRCAPTAINGRANDE
You can use this code to redeem your virtual book for your character! Nice, huh? Yep, go and use this code for your free prize!
Party rock is in Poptropica headquarters as well! To celebrate the launch of Poptropica: The Official Guide, the Poptropica guidebook, the Creators threw together an awesome Poptro-Party at their place, and it looked something like this:
And wait a minute, is that… Poptropica CAKE?! O: Looks AWESOME.
*OM NOM NOM NOM NOM*
(Somewhere in Poptropica’s base, Captain Crawfish lets out a sigh of relief. “Looks like my distraction worked…”)
But you know what they say, “every day is a party when you play Poptropica”! Now go get him!
(A mob runs after Captain Crawfish as the real meal treat of the party panics, runs until he can run no more, and plummets into the sea.)
Everyone knows the Poptropica Blimp, the yellow floating vehicle with the Poptropica logo that flies around and takes you to certain islands. You can use it for your many various travels in the game of Poptropica
Well, I bet a lot of you also heard news that the blimp has been made into a toy! Yep, you can now purchase an inflatable toy version of the blimp-your very own authentic Poptropica blimp! Cool, huh?
Well, this new post on the Creators’ Blog is all about that new toy. Here’s a new pic of Jeff Kinney holding one of these toys…pretty big if you ask me.
But wait…hold your horses. If we carefully scrutinize the photo…zoom in, you’ll see that there are some things to be noticed in this photo. First off there’s a standing poster of a Poptropica rock star, unseen before, yet possibly a future product. You’ll notice their office is located somewhere in a tall building because of the look out the windows, and also by the window counter appears to be a fossil track mark, a school bus, and an almost unnoticable similar standing poster. Except this poster is of Shark Boy. Hint…hint…
Anyways, the blimp comes with a special code for you to play a special game on the virtual world of Poptropica! With the blimp comes this unique code. Here’s a video on the PCB demonstrating the game!
The basic plot is that an evil genius named Dr. Cumulo Nimbus has come to conquer these lands in a weather balloon. He begins to “go insane” and strike lightning with his weather balloons on the land. In this adventure, you must go around in your balloon and extinguish the flames by pouring water from a bucket tied to the water balloon. Then you win when you successfully put out the fires igniting in a fiery inferno on the villages, which are placed on islands.
Well, sort of. With the time zone differential it changes a bit. But before the confusing bit you can read the post that our favourite friend (and foe) from the high seas of skullduggery.
A lot of you have been wondering when Game Show Island would be coming, and now we can tell you. Game Show Island will be available to Poptropica Members beginning on Thursday, October 27.
Visit the Poptropica homepage to count down the seconds! And keep visiting this blog for all the latest news about Game Show Island.
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
Ok, are you ready for the confusing bit? well this is…
The Confusing bit.
So I’m posting this on Wednesday night Australia time. So right now in America where the creators work it’s sometime Wednesday morning (I think) so in a few hours it’ll be Thursday in Australia. So if the creators actually work to Australian time it would be one week, like the title says.
Wow, now that I type that up it doesn’t really look that confusing.
But anyway…
WHO’S EXCITED FOR GAME SHOW ISLAND?!
😦 = No way I hate the idea! 😐 = Meh, It’s ok I suppose. 🙂 = Yes it will be good. 😉 = I’m really excited! 😀 = ME NEEDY GAME SHOW ISLAND NOWWW!!!
