Bringing Back the Magic of Poptropica 🔮 Fansite Spotlight: Pop Fan Kids

LJ

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!

Enchanted caverns (Twisted Thicket Island)

These things and more still live on through fans like you and I who are determined to build a new Poptropica and to live a new adventure. However, many of these things are hard to find, and they’re even harder to gather. I’ve always dreamt of a magical refuge to put all of these enchanted fragments together, just like putting together all the pieces of the Twisted Thicket orb together in the heart of the magical forest.

So, I made like an adventurer and island-hopped to many websites (including this one), searching for Poptropica’s legacy and its pretty wallpaper gifts. I gathered up all the fun Poptropica stuff I could find to bring it all together into a new magical orb for all Poptropicans, young and old, to explore and discover.

By planting that orb into my dormant Pop Fan Kids website, it’s bloomed like never before, and it’s now flourishing into an enchanted forest of its very own! 

A forest never stops growing, though, so if you know any games, activities, or other fun stuff that I missed in Pop Fan Kids, don’t be afraid to let me know!  Simply write your ideas down in the comments section below so I can work my Elf Queen magic. Good luck, noble adventurers!

Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Invisible Ring. If you did, you might also enjoy another post of hers: a Popspiracy on the Mystery of the Mini Blimps!

The Poptropica Help Blog welcomes interesting Poptropica insights from anyone in the Poptropica community with thoughts to share. Interested in writing for the PHB? We’d love to hear from you!

The Poptropica Kahoot Challenge Recap!

LJ

Howdy, Poptropicanos! 🤟Last month, over on the PHC, we had our much-anticipated Kahoot game, and it was such a fun time! We had a packed house with 10 players (maximum without Kahoot!+ ☹️) playing the game. A big thank you to everyone for joining and helping make this a success. You guys were awesome!

I thought I’d have to awkwardly fill the silence in the voice chat, but it turned out that wasn’t the case whatsoever. Everyone was full of energy and enthusiasm as they attempted to guess the answers to the 21 questions in the game. How many do you think you can get right?

Sleepy Biker rose to the top by answering 15 questions correctly, earning first place! Just behind were Lazy Kid and Cherry, who each answered 14 questions correctly, finishing in 2nd and 3rd places. Shoutout to runners-up, Magic Poptropican & Bony Bones, as well!

While I was chatting with Sleepy Biker, she remembered that I had drawn her Poptropican not too long ago. As a result, she generously offered her Poptropica Portrait prize to the second-place winner! Here you go, Lazy Kid. I hope you like it. Your character is awesome!

I had a blast putting this together! I’m sorry if some of the questions were a little too tough but just know that you’re all true fans in my eyes! (I know some of you joked about feeling like fake fans. 🤣) I can’t wait for our next game night, whether we play Jeopardy, Family Feud, Gartic Phone or something else.

Magic Kid

Hey guys! We’re back with yet another batch of drawings for y’all. 🥳

(The crossed out ones have already been drawn and the circled ones have already been claimed 🙂 )

Well, I don’t have much to say so we might as well just jump right into it this time! 😄

ROUND 7!!

E6— Shiny Dolphin
F3— Giant Dragon
B5— Guy Hiding In Bush
E5— Fearless Star
F8— Kathrine
G4—Sleepy Hamburger
D5—Magic Kid

What a great bunch of fun characters! Thank you so much for submitting them and letting me draw them all. 😁

How to get your Poptropican drawn next? Here’s what you need to do:

💬 COMMENT BELOW (on the most recent DYPAE post) a reference screenshot for your Poptropican (using a public image sharing site like Imgur), their name, AND which facial expression you would like them to have from the chart near the top of the post (for example, A2).

  • 🙅‍♂️ When asking for an expression, please don’t ask for one that has already been claimed (either by someone in the comments before you, or one that has been crossed out or circled in the chart). First come, first served!
  • ❗️ Please only comment ONE Poptropica character per person. BUT if you’ve already gotten one of yours drawn, you CAN comment ONE MORE character! 😝

⏳ After you comment, WAIT PATIENTLY. Everyone who comments and wants to have their Poptropican drawn will get added to a list, so no one gets missed. Each round I’ll only post a handful of them, so hang tight, yours will get drawn at some point. 😃

That’s all. I hope you guys have an epic week!

Get Ready for the Poptropica Kahoot Challenge! 🤓

LJ

Wazzup Poptropicanos, it’s LJ here! 🤟Who’s ready to play Kahoot? Mark your calendars. I’m hosting a Poptropica Kahoot Challenge on Sunday, April 13 @2:30pm PST, on the Poptropica Help Chat (PHC), and you’re all invited to participate! (must be 13 or older)

If you’re not aware of Kahoot, it’s a multiplayer quiz game where players can join by entering a pin on a mobile app (on Android and iOS) or via the website and compete in friendly competition.

Your device acts as a remote control to answer questions displayed on the host’s screen (mine). When the game starts, everyone has to answer the questions before the 20-second timer runs out. Also, the faster you answer, the more points you’ll earn if you’re correct. The player with the most points at the end wins! (see prize at the bottom of the post) 🥇

Here’s how it’s going to go down: To get in on the game, you’ll need to join the Poptropica voice channel on our Discord server. You’ll find it on the bottom left corner of your screen. If you’d rather not share your voice, just click the microphone icon to mute yourself. I know many of you are familiar with how Discord works, but this is for anyone who might be new or not quite in the loop.

For an optimal experience, you’ll need two devices—one for viewing my shared screen and another for answering the questions. You can try your luck at one device, but personally I find it more difficult to keep up with that way.

You can expect 20 questions that vary from super simple to those that require a bit more thought, so be prepared for anything!

This is a tough one guys…

Other than bragging rights, the player with the top score will receive a portrait of their Poptropican created by me if they would like it! 😁 Check out some of my artwork to see what you can look forward to. You’ll be able to choose between a more realistic style or a style akin to the OG Poptropica look.

I know some of you are longing for the next Tribal Tournament, so I figured it’d be a blast to play a competitive game together to help make that wait easier. Come join your fellow Poptropicans for a fun time and put your knowledge to the test! Remember, Sunday @2:30pm PST. (Use a time converter to find out what time it’ll be for you.) Hope you can make it! 🍀
