PoptropiCon Ep. 3 to return next month 🤖

Wicked Cool News alert: PoptropiCon Island, Episode 3: Reign of Omegon returns to the map next month, completing the saga! ⚡️

The news comes as Ep. 2: Spoiler Alert was re-released to all players two months ago, giving everyone a chance to explore the epic Poptropica convention and uncover the twist behind the Omegon costume contest.

Download extras including this screensaver from our PoptropiCon Island Guide!

There’s no mention yet about who will be granted access, but if the recent past is an indicator, the episode will probably release for members only first — and hopefully for all eventually.

However, all episodes of PoptropiCon are currently playable in Poptropica’s paid Steam bundle, which also comes with many other newer classic islands. Read our Steam review here!


Onto another villain, Poptropica on Twitter recently put out a Pop poll about Dr. Hare’s species. As lore would have it, perhaps it’s both: Dr. Hare was a scientist who fused into his current form of evil genius rabbit when an experiment on a bunny rabbit went wrong. 🐰

Either way, he’s a longtime beloved icon in the fandom! Check out this fun marker drawing Pop recently retweeted from fan artist @loudcrab:

Stay tuned with us for the re-release of PoptropiCon’s conclusion for Haxe Poptropica, and keep on poppin’ on! 💫

Ask Poptropica Siri #10: Non-villains, non-costume items, and not dead

Ask Poptropica Siri is a Q&A segment here on the PHB where you, dear readers, are invited to send in your Poptropica questions to have them answered with all the wisdom you can expect from a Smart Icicle.

Hello fellow Poptropicans, welcome back to Ask Poptropica Siri! Hope you are all having a great summer. Let’s answer some questions:

In your opinion, who are the best non-villain character(s) in Poptropica? ~Silver Tiger

For me, the best non-villain characters are Harold Mews, Basho, Amelia, and the Baron (I know, I know, the Baron was technically a villain in Monkey Wrench, but she is good or neutral now, since she sells stuff on her airship). I like these characters because each of them remind me of what I am like in real life, or my favorite interests.

The Baron is my favorite because she reminds me of my interest in pirates. Harold Mews from Cryptids Island is my second fave right from the beginning because I like his interest in catching mythical creatures like the Giant Squid, Bigfoot, etc. Basho from Red Dragon Island is my third fave since I enjoy Asian culture. And I started to like Amelia after I completed her mini-quest. (Her facial expressions when the player finds the cargo were cute — it reminded me a bit of anime.)

What is your favorite store item(s) that isn’t a costume? ~GreedyShadow

I would have to go with all the clubhouse decor. I like it when there are themes — like summer, Rumpelstiltskin, and Dr. Hare (way back when Poptropica Worlds was still a thing). Some of my favorite clubhouse decor are the wallpapers, various mythical creatures (especially the phoenix, mermaid, and unicorn), and some of the picture frames (the Dr. Hare one is cute).

You’ve been giving me some hard but good questions, and the next one is no exception! This one is more about my fandom activity than the game itself, but since I get asked so much, I want to share my response with you readers today.

Is Smart Icicle’s Blog still running? Are you still looking for more writers? ~everyone on my blog and friends from the Pop community

I would like to say yes, my blog is still alive and kicking! If you’re interested in writing for my blog, where I share about Poptropica and other media I enjoy, contact me on my blog, with the methods below, or DM me on Discord (I’m on the PHC). Also, thanks to Dizzy Feather for her support! In addition to my blog, you can check out hers, which is all about Poptropica and which I’ve been following every day.

That’s all the questions I have for now. Hope you all have a great rest of the summer. See you all soon!


How can you send in your questions to Ask Poptropica Siri?

That’s a great question! You can use the following methods:

  • 📧Send an email to askpoptropicasiri (at) gmail (dot) com. This way, you’ll get to keep your questions a surprise when they get answered on the blog.
  • 💬Comment on the latest Ask Poptropica Siri post. Your questions will be publicly visible before they appear in a Q&A post, but this allows others to interact with your question if they so choose. If you don’t have an email address, you can enter a fake one in the email field when you post your comment.

Smart Icicle out! ~🌸📚❄️🌸

Pop Puzzles: What’s Missing? Round 2 🧐

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dizzy FeatherEnjoy!

A Grave Mystery: Perhaps a new perspective would help.

Hello everyone, Dizzy Feather here with round two of “What’s Missing?” To make things a little easier than last time, I’m including a hint and Hangman-style placeholder with each one. Here’s how the game works:

I’ll show you screenshots from Poptropica with a detail covered up, and you try to guess what the missing piece is. Leave your guesses in the comments of this post, and in about a week I’ll share the answers and shout out those who got any of them correct! A couple of rules:

  • No cheating! Don’t go in-game to the area shown to find the answers, and don’t copy someone else’s answers (best not to look before sharing yours). Not only would that be cheating others, but you’ll be taking the fun away from yourself!
  • Have fun! It’s just a game. Don’t pressure yourself to get them all.

Now that we’ve got that down, let’s begin with this Jade Scarab edition puzzle! You may need to click on images to view them in full.

So what’s missing? Share your guesses in the comments below, and be sure to check back next week to see how many you got right! Have fun!


Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Dizzy Feather. If you did, you might also enjoy her clubhouse tour, or a similar puzzle series from the PHB, Stolen Snapshots, featuring scenes from classic islands.

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!
