Pop on in — we’ve got updates on the Pop app and Roblox game!

At long last, multiplayer functions are now available on the Poptropica mobile app with the latest update. But recall that earlier this year, a bunch of old islands were deleted from the Pop app. So if you do decide to update, be warned of what you’ll be missing. ⚠️

Anyway, if you do proceed with this app update, you’ll get all the multiplayer features from the desktop version of the game, including the arcade and island common rooms with Quippy stores, 1v1 arcade games, and private parties in player clubhouses. Plus, when the Baron visits, mobile players will get the same experience as desktop users! 📲

In other news, we have a launch date for the teased Zomberry Island-inspired Roblox game, and it’s this Friday, April 1! 🧟 The date might be sus but this is no April Fools’ joke, according to the Pop Creators’ Blog.

As you can see above, there’s a new sneak peek of an infected 3D Poptropican bitten by Zomberry blues looking as horrified as all of us when we learned of Poptropica’s first Roblox game, Unicorn Frenzy.

Anyway, let’s hope this one turns out better — according to previous peeks, it’s going to be survival-based, humans versus zombies. Now, what about other questions of survival: Poptropica vs Roblox? Desktop vs mobile? Share your thoughts in the comments!

UPDATE: Poptropica announced on their Instagram story that they’ll be hosting a launch party for the Roblox game, with more details to come. In the meantime, here are the latest fan art features from their stories:

March of Outfits: Oscars to Fraggle Rock 🎎

March 29, 2022March 28, 2022 Slanted Fish

March on in, Poptropicans, before March is on its way out!

Entries for the monthly costume contest are in, and while a winner has not yet been selected, the showreel for March’s costume designs is now available below. We’ll find out which one gets made in-game when the Baron docks again in early April!

This past weekend also saw the 2022 Oscars hosted, and Poptropica’s pop-arazzi got in on the buzz with some red carpet looks on their Instagram. 🏆✨ Check out their recreations of big night outfits worn by celebrity singer Beyoncé, actor Simu Liu, actress Jessica Chastain, and actor Kodi Smit-McPhee (swipe to see them all):

Of course, if you’ve been on the internet lately, you might know that the stars of this year’s Oscars weren’t all the glitzy fashion, but the face slap moment that quickly became a meme. 💥 Poptropica’s Instagram might only show a pretty side, but Poptropica’s Twitter gets real with a retweet of one such meme from Coolmath Games, and even their own surprised tweet when the moment occurred. Seems like Pop’s social media might have split personalities across platforms… 🤔

Onto the game itself: on Home Island, there’s a new ad for Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock (now streaming on Apple TV+)!

Head inside for an obstacle course mini-game to get Gobo’s backpack while avoiding hidden Gorgs and other dangers. After two minutes, if you make it, you’ll win a Doozer Follower and Be Red! outfit.

Still a better game than Unicorn Frenzy, perhaps? If we’re going to be playing lackadaisical mini-games, at least this one’s got Pop style.

Speaking of which, if you’ve been wondering what’s up with Poptropica’s Roblox game (or couldn’t get a game going), Poptropica recently released footage of the candy-colored collect-a-thon in action. 🦄

Rounding off this update are the latest fan art features from Pop’s Instagram stories! These characters are really rockin’ their pink. 💖

Keep on poppin’ on!

Ask Poptropica Siri #7: waiting for Jade, Flash’s fade, and islands to be remade

March 28, 2022August 19, 2022 🌸Smart Icicle🌸

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.

Hey everyone, it’s Smart Icicle! You know how the game works now. Let’s answer some questions!

What do you think of the upcoming Secret of the Jade Scarab Island? ~ Dangerous Dragon & when the imposter is sus

I am pretty excited for when it comes out. So far the sneak peeks remind me of Arabian Nights and catching the genie. Another desert theme seems pretty cool to me. This one seems fun from what we’ve seen so far, and I can’t wait for it to release! I’ve loved seeing all the ideas everyone came up with for the Dream Island contest.

Would you rather play the old islands on Flashpoint now, or in a few years if they become officially accessible through Poptropica desktop and mobile? ~Silver Ghost

I like these types of questions. It’s fun playing the old islands on Flashpoint, but I am going to have to go with playing the old islands from Poptropica itself if they all become available again because I have been playing on their platforms for years. It’s been a while since Flash has been gone, and I still praise it. Still miss you, Flash! ❤️

What do you like to do on Poptropica when you aren’t playing islands? ~Silver Shell

I either do side quests, check out the store for any cool stuff, or relax in my clubhouse. But honestly, I mainly play Poptropica for the islands — they’re just so fun, am I right?

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.

I hope you all are having some fun and good luck. I’m feeling especially lucky for next month. See you soon!

~🌸📚❄️🌸

YouTube Gaming remembers Poptropica

March 25, 2022June 15, 2022 Slanted Fish

History repeats itself — Poptropica’s once again trending on Twitter!

Similar to when this happened last May, mentions of Poptropica picked up steam from an image post that asked people to pick their favorite out of a list of nostalgic kids’ virtual world games from the 2000s. This time, the tweet came from YouTube Gaming, a subsidiary of YouTube.

Pick one. The rest have to go. pic.twitter.com/bPduEZ7egN

Plenty of Poptropicans weighed in, including a torn Thinknoodles, Poptropica itself watching the scene unfold with a tea-sipping Amelia, and sister site Coolmath Games, whose support garnered extra bestie points from YouTube Gaming, the original poster.

Safe to say Poptropica is everyone's bestie 💙

Meanwhile, Poptropica is putting their best foot forward on their Twitter profile with another one of their odd memes — walking slouched is now “Poptropica posture syndrome.” Watch your back!

if you or someone you know is suffering from poptropica posture syndrome, just know that you are not alone 💙 pic.twitter.com/mHbXYS1my1

Over on the Pop Creators’ Blog, guest writer Golden Horse shared part one of a fanfiction story set after the events of Fairytale Island, before Rumpel’s side quest happened. The fanfic weaves together heroic unicorns, old and new characters inspired by other legends, and a quest to gather items to defeat a great Evil. Read it here!

Rounding off this post, here are the latest fan art features from Pop’s Instagram stories this week. Enjoy! (Protip: The PHB always links to each original IG post, so you can click on the artists’ names to view their work in detail, Poptropica’s comments, and bonus pics if any!)
