Deck the seas with cheerful creatures

December 12, 2010December 12, 2010 Slanted Fish

‘Tis the season to be jolly… and Poptropica’s doing that by decking the seas with cheer and monsters! 😛

Have a ball this holiday season!

Sounds pretty cheesy, but it’s just a catchy slogan to advertise the new FREE costume in the Poptropica Store: the Holiday Ball, a giant ornament that covers one’s whole body! So spread some holiday spirit by decking the halls in the color of your choice (red, green, or blue).

Daily Pop Peeks

Catch up with all these new sneak peeks [and their descriptions], on the Daily Pop now!

F for Fake
This attack never happened, but is the giant squid still out there?

Name That Animal
If we drew it right, it shouldn’t be that hard to guess!

Deep Dark Woods
One of those would make a nice Christmas tree. Dare you to go chop it down.

Off-Street Parking
Just put that truck anywhere.

Monster Mash
Not everything we design ends up in Poptropica. These monster costumes never made it past the concept stage.

Inner Peace
This looks like a nice, quiet place. At least, until you show up.

Up on the Housetop
Something tells us that wasn’t old Saint Nick.

Sea Power
The stormy seas of Skullduggery Island began as a simple sketch.

Works of Dart
Concept sketches for some surly pub patrons.

Getting to Know Daily Pop

Captain Crawfish of the PCB recently posted a series of “getting to know” the Daily Pop posts. I’ve combined them all into an article for the PHB, so read it here! You can also access it via our Cool Stuff page.

So now’s the time to get to know the Daily Pop – a fun Poptropica feature packed with comics, games, leaderboards, ratings, and exclusive sneak peeks.

BIG and small

December 7, 2010December 12, 2010 rrburner

WELCOME TO A GIGANTIC POST!!! and now and an itty-bitty one. This one is about an advertisement on Gulliver’s Travels. Nothing special about this ad, it’s actually kinda dumb.You get a size changer which can make you big as Triton or small as a membership price. Now I leave you a picture.

Happy Chanukka.

UPDATE: The ad has been changed.

You go on a boat to the Bermuda Triangle. Try to get killed once you make it there.
Choose Gulliver or Littrian. Each one is unique.
Gulliver – Block all the arrows and prevent the little guys from burning to death.
Littrian – Dodge everything to get to the finish line.
Claim your costume and size changer.

THANKS CREATORS! Also, new ornament costume in the store. Check that stuff out. 🙂

News you can Mews

December 4, 2010January 26, 2013 Hicoga

Sorry I’ve been posting so much lately. I figured you guys were getting bored of me so I was going to let someone else do it for a change, but I figured up-to-date news is more important. So, here goes.

First of all, there’s a new Creator’s blog post about the Cryptids Island preview.

Cryptids Island in the wild

Well, well, well — look what’s sneaked its way onto the Poptropica map.

You can visit Cryptids Island now for a special sneak preview! You’ll be dropped on the shores of Loch Ness. Check out the viewfinder next to the castle to see the amazing sights. If you’re lucky, you might even spot Nessie!

Anyone who does see the Loch Ness Monster through the viewfinder will win a special prize (and Poptropica Members get even more time to look). You can try once per day, so if you don’t see her today, try again tomorrow!

This post has been brought to you by our good friends at the Mews Foundation.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Well, that says just about all doesn’t it. Keep looking through the viewfinder every day to hopefully get a picture of Nessy. (When someone on the PHB gets the prize we’ll tell you what it is.)

Credit to -jEllo- for cheat: If you look through the viewfinder, then save your game and log back in you can use it again. Repeat the process to look through it for as long as you want. Be sure to send us some pictures if you find him, we’ll give you credit!

Also, if you click on that link it takes you to Poptropica’s new sponsor, The Mews Foundation. (mewsfoundation.org)

Which is very funny because that is not a real organization. They actually made a whole site just for a business from Poptropica! (What a work effort!)

Visit our sponsor!

We are very pleased to inform you that the official Poptropica blog is being sponsored by our benevolent overlords at the Mews Foundation. Their interest in the more… unusual frontiers of science is one that all of the Poptropica Creators can get behind. The truth is out there, and the Mews Foundation is going to find it.

Are the Creators cheaters? And a new sneak peak.

November 30, 2010November 30, 2010 Hicoga

GA: Hey guys, I was playing the games on the daily pop when I noticed this on the high-score list.

GA: As you can see, a creator (Binary Bard) is on the high-score list. But what’s most peculiar is his score… He’s the top for the week with “15” When the top for the day is “348,297”. Hmm… I smell a cheater.

Binary Bard: I did not cheat! It was um.. a glitch!

GA: Maybe you’d like to tell that to Mr. Boxing Glove. *raises fist*

Binary Bard: Gee, I should really be leaving now…

GA: *moves fist rapidly toward Binary*

Binary Bard: Wait! Wait!

GA: What?

Binary Bard: I have a sneak peak to show you.

GA: Fine, hurry this up.

Binary Bard: Here it is…
