Shrink Ray Island

Shrink or Swim: Celebrating Poptropica’s 20th Island!

The Poptropica Help Network is proud to present:

Is he trying to 'sea' whether this calamari squid can swim on land, or will it have to face the shrink ray?

Straight from the Creators’ Blog:

Shrink Ray Island is now available!

Poptropica Members have full access to the newest Poptropica adventure. Non-Members can also try out the special Early Access demo. Head on over to Poptropica and see what the big deal is!

Well, the fact that it isn’t fully available for non-members was a bit of a disappointment at our PHC Countdown Party, but at least the non-mems still get more than they usually do – an early access demo of the island! Paying members get to enjoy the entire island first, as usual. PHB staff member ElmoPwns has already written a walkthrough guide with all the Shrink Ray Island cheats, which you can check out by clicking here!

Shrink Ray Island is also Poptropica’s 20th island! HAPPY TWENTY, POPTROPICA! (And to think I could have counted the number of islands there were on one hand when I first started playing…) They’ve just released the trailer video for it, too, so take a look!

Remember: Being tiny can be fun, but don’t lose your true self and size!

Time is shrinking: the Countdown for Shrink Ray Island

It won’t be long now.

Thursday, June 30th, is the promised day for the release of Shrink Ray Island. There’s a countdown timer on the Poptropica homepage so you’ll know exactly what time it’s released, all the way down to the seconds.

So using the current time on the countdown timer and the time it is right now in your area, calculate what time it will be for you when Shrink Ray Island comes to life.

Then show up at the Poptropica Help Chatroom half an hour ahead of that time so the whole Poptropica community can count down with you in anticipation of the island’s release.

And when the time comes… we’ll all play together.

You. Everyone. PHC. Countdown party.

Be there.

The Official Guide to Poptropica!

It’s EP here for a new post. How’s everyone doing? Cruising? Enjoying the summer? That’s nice! I’m almost too lazy today to get out of my video game lounge playing meh xbox to type up a new post :P. But here it goes, the creators have announced the official guide to Poptropica.

Merchandising for the game was hinted some time ago, around a year, in a post on this blog about future products like backpacks and books. I don’t remember who posted it or how they got to it, but I remember the clue was inside a post about a news article on the web interviewing someone that worked on Poptropica. Well, now it’s finally here! Check it out:

Announcing the Poptropica guidebook!

It’s true: Poptropica: The Official Guideis coming! This full-color guidebook contains walkthroughs for most Poptropica Islands, behind-the-scenes looks at how an Island is made, and quotes from the Poptropica Creators. Poptropica: The Official Guide will be released on October 13. For a special sneak preview, visit the Poptropica guidebook page on Amazon.com for a special preview: an interview with Jeff Kinney, Poptropica creator and Diary of a Wimpy Kid author!

October 13th??? Whatttttt? Are they not done editing it or publishing it or something? We’ll have to wait months before we can get an actual copy of this book. I can’t wait to find out what’s inside. I don’t know if they’d include island guides, but maybe only tips and info on the islands. A guide might spoil the fun and surprise perhaps.

On the cover of the book is a Poptropican swinging on a rope…don’t fall. I just felt like saying that ;). The cover also shows various Poptropica characters and a location situated on Mythology Island. You can get read an exclusive interview with Jeff Kinney on the amazon webpage. Cannot wait to obtain my own copy of this book now :). What do you think? Will you buy it? Comment below.

Shrink Ray Island’s Tiny Map

In today’s small post, the Creators revealed the small map for the next new island, Shrink Ray, which is open this Thursday!

Shrink Ray Island map revealed!

Shrink Ray Island is coming this Thursday, June 30. Here’s your first look at the Shrink Ray Island map.

You’ll explore much of Shrink Ray Island as a teeny tiny Poptropican. Good thing we didn’t shrink the map, too!

Looks interesting! One of those looks like it connects to the science fair place, and the other I guess connects to the lab?

There’s even a countdown timer on the front page of Poptropica so you’ll know all the way down to which SECOND that Shrink Ray Island is released! (Smart move – now people won’t get confused about the very exact time of release!) The image to the right shows what it looks like.

Anyways, I can’t wait for the new island! 😀 Hope you all have fun out there being small, and possibly getting stomped on! XD

Rockin’ with Rodrick

Rodrick’s band could really use your rockstar voice to win the talent show.
Will you do it?

Fans of Rodrick and/or his band, Loded Diper (from Diary of a Wimpy Kid), now have the chance to rock out with them in the new ad for Rodrick Rules! Or does rocks sound better? Rodrick rules? Rodrick rocks? …How about we just get to helping the band?

Thank you to PHB reader Electric Spaceship (theloudshark) for providing the video guide.
