A hunt!

elmopwns

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!

Membership, Store

News delivery, arrrgh!

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 😀

Mystery Train Island

Finished? Already?

Well, you know the drill. One or two days after a new island is released, the creators put up “The Top 10 Finishers” of that island. The new Mystery Train Island has just been out for not more than a week. It took me a full DAY to get from beggining to end. I wonder how long it took these people…introducign *drumrollll*…THE TOP 10 FINISHERS OF MYSTERY TRAIN ISLAND

1. Messy Ghost
2. Smart Sky
3. Spotted Lizard
4. Shaky Chicken
5. Scary Peanut
6. Mighty Bird
7. Zippy Brain
8. Funny Lobster
9. Brave Rider
10. White Lightning 
 
Congratulations to Messy Ghost, Smart Sky, Spotted Lizard, Shaky Chicken, Scary Peanut, Mighty Bird, Zippy Brain, Funny Lobster, Brave Rider, and last but not least White Lightning! These people sure finished fast! I wonder how long it took to finish it for these awesome gamers…probably less time than it took me xD
 
Anyways, there’s the top ten for the new island. For everyone that is still stuck on the island, please reffer to the island help page for the guide to Mystery Train Island, map, and all your resources. Hope it helps.
 
EP out!
