Wimpy Wonderland Island

Twisted Wizard: click to start

Prepare to get Twisted!

For those of you who have already finished Wimpy Wonderland Island by now, congratulations! But for those of you who haven’t, a new challenge has now been added as part of the island quest, which means extra fun (or work, depending on how you look at it, but hopefully fun, right?)!

To get Greg off his video game console, you’ll have to beat the game Twisted Wizard for him! Captain Crawfish of the PCB described it as “three levels of ogre-zapping fun” and generously offers this helpful tip: You can rotate the blocks by pressing the space bar.

Happy wizarding!

Already completed Wimpy Wonderland? You can still experience the fun by going to the ‘Games‘ tab in your inventory and selecting the Twisted Wizard CD!

April Fools?

[Insert quirky pun to trick all Poptropicans here.]

Remember the good old days of Scary Tomato's Weblog?

(post written by Hijuyo; trick by Codien)

If you know your PHB history, you know that the founder, Hijuyo, used to be known as Scary Tomato, whose Poptropican was pictured in its very first blog header (shown above for your reference), back when ST/Hijuyo’s graphics weren’t all that great.

A few months later, along came Codien. He became the third author to join the team, after Smockers, and began sprucing up the place by creating amazing graphics for the site and even renaming it from ‘Scary Tomato’s Weblog’ to ‘Poptropica Help Blog’ – what we still know it as today.

PhotoAnd although he left the team, Codien’s missed us and is back to posting and being the awesome graphics guy – that part is not a joke! Coming back just in time for April Fool’s Day 2011, he quickly came up with the idea of triggering back some old memories as part of the prank – by putting the very first header up and once again changing the site name to Scary Tomato’s Weblog!

We hope it made you smile, but rest assured, we’re back to being the Poptropica Help Blog, and with Codien back on the team, our next header is definitely going to awe everyone. 🙂

Happy April Fool’s Day!

-‘Scary Tomato’ and Codien

*note: Since the PHB prefers to maintain a limit of 7 staff members and Smockers hasn’t been posting for almost a year despite attempts to contact him, we have removed him from the staff list. We are saddened to do this, but it is extremely unlikely he would have continued posting anyway. Farewell, Smockers, you will be remembered. :,)

P.S. Wondering what Poptropica did for April Fool’s Day at the same time? Check out the new ‘Prank Can’ gold card available at the Poptropica Store!

Smashing Success

Slanted Fish

Hey PHB readers! Just wanted to thank all of you for continuing to come to the Poptropica Help Blog, as we have just hit 4.8 million pageviews (and hopefully reach 5 million by summer)!

Last night’s PHB Author Night [2] was a smashing success, and although I was not available, those in attendance can probably attest to having a great time chatting with PHB authors and other fellow readers! If you would like to be a part of a Poptropica chat community, the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat) is a friendly place and an affiliate of ours. The next Author Night will be here before we know it, and hopefully continues to become a successful event!

See the champion, my friend.

The Poptropica Creators have a new post on their blog about the Daily Pop game leaderboards for the ‘brick-obliterating’ “Smashing.” Captain Crawfish admits he’s not doing quite as well the current top champion, Grumpy Lightning with his score of 1,199,000. Nice job!

The PHB probably won’t be posting this kind of post (Daily Pop game scores) much, since it isn’t really considered news that most people would prefer to see, but if you’re interested: it’s a reminder that scores reset at the beginning of the month, so you’d better get “smashing” if you want to beat that high score!

[Update] Game for another SMASH HIT? The Flamin’ Skulls Poptropica band is out with a new song – “Drawn This Way,” a parody of Lady Gaga’s new hit ‘Born This Way,’ written by FS fan Scootdaloop188! And this one’s about sketchydoodley (okay that’s not a word xD) Wimpy Wonderland!
