Mystery Train Island

Mystery Train’s first mystery.

Green Boa

HI GUYS!

I know I haven’t posted in like A YEAR but I’ve had computer problems and stuff. Plus I don’t have school holidays for 4 weeks and I am a bit backlogged. But anyway, I’m not here to make excuses. I am here to report a new post on the PCB.

Counting down the seconds to Mystery Train

If you’ve been following the Mystery Train countdown clock on the Poptropica homepage, you’ve probably noticed that it’s set to go at a rather unusual time: 21 minutes past the hour. In fact, here at Poptropica headquarters, Mystery Train will be launching at 4:21 PM on Friday. Can you guess why?

Go ahead, try to guess. Take a second away from the computer.

Okay, ready?

The time is in honor of two things. 4, because it’s our 4th birthday, and 21, because this is our 21st Island.

Now that you’ve solved that mystery, you’re ready to take a ride on the Mystery Train! Poptropica Members will be able to play all of Mystery Train this Friday. Non-Members will be able to play the first part of the adventure in advance of Mystery Train’s public launch in October.

21 islands? Geez! I wasn’t counting… THAT IS A HEAP OF ISLANDS!

So don’t forget, members of Poptropica:

4:21

Time to get down on Friday for Mystery Train Island!

Now I shall leave you with a nice piece of poetry…

Do not fall,
Off a wall,
Or you might die,
Cus you fell from the sky. 😉

The guide is coming

So guess what showed up on the PCB today? Well, a new post, and this isn’t just any new post ;). Look back in your mind to all those months ago when the creators showed us…eh, some new book. Remember that? You could pre-order it on Amazon, but it hasn’t been released yet. Well, that release date is close to coming according to the PCB!

This book is titled Poptropica – The Official Guide! It was mentioned in  a previous post and sounded pretty big. After all these months, we haven’t gotten any info on this book…until now.

The picture from the PCB (above) was snapped apparently at their office. We learned that the book is 190 pages of color and art and even island guides. I can’t wait to see how they wrote their island guides, probably different than the ones here. And there’s more, even a fold out map, that could be found no where else, is included in this guide They announced the official release date is October 13th. That’s just about a month away!

Will you get this book? Comment below and share your thoughts!

Unfortunate hiatus. :(

Some of you may have realized that I haven’t been posting lately. Not because I refuse to, or I’m busy, but it’s my computer.

Lately it’s been having technical problems like blackouts. So even when I connect to the internet, I can’t be on for long.

I apologize that this isn’t Poptropica related, but I just want to let you all know.

Trying to wrap this up quick in case anything happens.

I miss you guys! 😦

P.S. Trying to work on a Season 8 finale for PWH, despite technical issues.

On this special day

There was once a gloomy place called the internet.

People roamed this area, poking people, writing on walls, and stalking others without their knowledge. They stared at moving square pictures, and resided in odd things called “Yootoobs” and “Face Books”.

But then, on September1st, 2007, came a miracle for those who were tired of these grounds of virtual mafias and farms.

da-da-da-da-DA!

Poptropicaaaaa!

You may have noticed this banner around the bottom of the home page. Did the creators put it there for kicks and giggles?

Nope!

September 1st symbolizes the 4th birthday of Poptropica, silly!

The creator’s have something to say as well.

Happy birthday to us!

It’s hard to believe, but Poptropica’s birthday is nearly upon us! This September will mark four years since we launched our site with only a single Island and a dream. Now we’re up to 21 Islands, loads of mini-games, hundreds of costumes and Gold Cards, and millions upon millions of our very dearest friends — all of you!

That’s why we’d like you to help us celebrate our birthday in style. All throughout September, Poptropicans will have a chance to win a special birthday prize by visiting any common room. We’ll also be re-releasing some classic costumes to the Poptropica Store for a limited time only. And everyone who visits the Store can get a free birthday balloon.

Read all the details on our fourth birthday page. And thanks to everyone who has made Poptropica such a wonderful place to play for the past four years. We’ve got a lot more in store for you in the years to come!

Read more at the special page just for Poptropica’s Fourth Birthday!

It includes information such as the fact that the Special Edition golden Renegade Robot and Steamworks Mech Pilots are coming back to the store, FREE, though for members only.

WHOOOOAAA! Cool!

Remember the 3rd birthday balloons? Well, they’re back, only updated to 4th years! You can get a free one in the store, and also search for the extra special one in multiplayer rooms to receive a cake costume.

Aside from this great mark in Poptropica history, you can also find two new (well, not very new) games, once again for free, in the Store. The sumo wrestling one, as well as the Shrink Shot game.

Thanks to Machine Lord for the tips!

Have fun celebrating Poptropica’s birthday, and playing these amazing games, and until next time,

EDITS HAVE BEEN MADE! SCROLL DOWN! 😀

I had some free time this week, so I thought I would post about the new things that the Creators added in the Poptropica store!  Many things have been added 😀 I’m sure most of you know about the birthday balloon:

Anyone who visits the store can get the Fourth Birthday Balloon for free! Isn’t free awesome? 🙂 Also in celebration of Poptropica’s 4th birthday this September, they added in the last two minigames to hit Poptropica: Shrink Shot (Shrink Ray) and Prepare for Impact (Red Dragon)!

You can add these games to your inventory for free and play whenever you want! 😀 You can get all the previous prizes available! They also included a special treat for all you Members out there (lucky :P): They re-released the Mech Pilot costume (Steamworks) and the Renegade robot for a limited time!

If you missed them before, or if you have just become a member some time ago, you now get another chance to get these Members-only gold cards! 🙂 If you aren’t a member, the Creators are encouraging you to sign up! Well, stay tuned for more Birthday fun coming to Poptropica!

Happy fourth birthday Poptropica! 😀

The Creators also have other updates: a video concerning heat map technology and another countdown timer!

The Creators said that this is a feature they were working on for one of the new islands. Could it be for the E.vile Legen-wait-for-it-dary island? Looks like we have to wait to find out! 🙂

They also put in a  countdown timer for Mystery Train, letting you know the exact moment when your train leaves the station (Get it? 😀 )! It releases in less than a week! Excited, members? 😛 So what’s your departure time?
