Happy Meals and Scrappy Feels ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hey Poptropicans, pop in for credits and characters!

There’s a new ad on Home Island for McDonald’s Happy Meals, which (for those in the US) are now offering Match Battle boxes as an extension of the Pokรฉmon trading card game. Watch the short video to earn 10 credits, and replay it as much as you like to keep collecting credits!

Thanks to HeartofEnder for the tip!

And while you’re on Home Island, don’t miss out on the Baron’s airship and whatever shenanigans are going on with the disappearance of the scrappy sky pirate who was recently voted “Most Captivating Current Character” in the Poppies! At least Ack is there to give out goodies. ๐Ÿ™‰


In other news, enjoy the latest fan art features from Poptropica’s Instagram stories showcasing iconic characters, including a lovely sketch of the Baron! As always, click the artists’ names to see more. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Also on IG, a collaborative post between Coolmath Games and Poptropica featuring Coolmath’s Poptropican flying out of a fishbowl recently popped off with over 11K likes. She’s an icon to watch!

Keep on poppin’ on!

Pop Puzzles: What’s Missing? โ€” Answers ๐Ÿ”‘

Hey Poptropicans, this is aย guest postย by Dizzy Feather.ย Enjoy!

Falling to Pieces: Let’s see if we can rig this guy back together.

Hello everyone,ย Dizzy Feather here with the answers to “What’s Missing?”, my Pop puzzle from last week, where I obscured items from in-game scenes for you to guess “what’s missing.” If you missed it, play the game on the original post before scrolling down for spoilers!

Since it might have been a bit hard, I also shared riddles for each one:

  1. It brings you light but melts away.
  2. It holds whatโ€™s write.
  3. Red, Orange, and Yellow will turn to grey after it touches.
  4. Fruit from legend will make your heart beat.
  5. Villain from an unfinished story. This may hint at the return.
  6. Shake it and a seasonal weather shall be copied.

How many can you figure out? While I didn’t get many guesses on the original post, shout-out to Smart Icicle and Purple Star for getting a correct guess each! Anyway, here are the answers:

I hope everyoneย enjoyed this guessingย game! I may do another soon, perhaps changing some things up to make it a little less challenging. Let me know in the comments if you have any feedback!

Baron's Airship, Fan Art Features, Fanfiction

Ack! The Baron Goes Missing ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Brace yourselves for a Baron airship landing, Poptropicans! But…

Right away, you may notice something’s not right โ€” the Baron is nowhere to be seen! Not at the entrance calling you off the dusty rock, nor swinging at their usual spot on the flight deck. What’s up?

Head inside the Cabin of Curiosities and you’ll find treasures to pick up, including two free costumes: The Hair by Prickly Tooth, which is the latest design contest winner, and the Banana over on the right! ๐ŸŒ

UPDATE: The submissions reel from July can now be viewed below, and August’s costume contest has kicked off! Enter by Friday, August 26 at 8pm PST for your chance to have your design in the game. More details on the Creators’ Blog!

Back in the cabin, you can also bring home some familiar wares: the Baron and Ack Paintingย (300 credits),ย Ack Plushieย (200),ย Ackโ€™s Litter Boxย (5),ย Wooden Mugย (10),ย Chest of Scrollsย (100) โ€” lifted from the Baron’s headquarters, now curiously locked. Is the legendary sky pirate quarantining inside?

Baron backers may remember their last visit when the Baron was twitching suspiciously and offering Rumpelstiltskin icons for sale. This time, their first mate Ack has taken over the throne! Talking to the monkey doesn’t offer any helpful hints, as all he can say is “Ack,” but the doodles he’s waving of his boss and the magic man may be a clue. Was the Baron kidnapped by Rumpel, or are they in cahoots? Hmmm…


In other news, guest writer Dizzy Feather is back on the Pop Creators’ Blog with part two of her fanfic story, Poptropican Heroes. (You can read part one here!) There’s also a call to participate at the end for a chance to have your character featured in her future writing, as previously seen here on the PHB with another fanfic of hers, The Pink Knight!

Speaking of Dizzy Feather’s work, you’re invited for a bit of guessing fun in her latest PHB post, Pop Puzzles: What’s Missing? โ€” and for more from this budding creative, check out Dizzy Feather’s Poptropica Blog!


Finally, take some time to enjoy the latest fan art features from Pop’s Instagram stories, including the conclusion of one fan artist’s island-based comics!
