PHC – 🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺

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!

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! 🍀

Pop Protip: Hang out with Poptropicans on the PHC, our Discord server 📱

April 14, 2021November 29, 2025 LJ

Howdy Poptropicans, welcome to Pop Protips — your guide to the PHB and the many awesome resources available to the Poptropica community. We’re kicking off this series especially with newer Poptropicans in mind, to share fun stuff you may not be familiar with.

For our first Pop Protip, we’ll be covering our Discord server, the Poptropica Help Chat! The PHC is a fun and safe environment to chat about all things Poptropica (and more) and is moderated at all times.

To keep the good vibes going, the PHC has a few rules, which include keeping things kid-friendly, being kind, and no spamming (other than in our spam channel). You must also be at least 13 years old to join, per Discord’s terms. Breaking these expectations may result in a ban.

Channels host different discussions so that they don’t get in the way of each other. You can find the list of channels to your left. The PHC includes lots of fun channels, including #🏡home-island for Poptropica and off-topica discourse, #🎨pop-art where fandom art is shared and admired, and more! More details are on #👀survival-island.

A couple more highlights: the PHC includes tons of custom Poptropica emojis, from facial expressions to PHB staff to Ringmaster Raven as a cute birb! 🐦 You can also give yourself roles to display your Poptropica tribe and personalities based on iconic Pop characters.

Every once in a while, you might already know that the PHB is likely to throw a party — and that the PHC is a big part of the event, where we come together. (We might even have one coming soon. 😉)

With hundreds of members already, what are you waiting for? Join our Poptropica community on Discord — we’d be glad to have you.

🎉 Pop into the PHC now! 🎉

– LJ 🍀

PHB Parties

Save the date for the PHB’s “Gone in a Flash” 2020 holiday party! 💥

December 6, 2020December 12, 2021 Slanted Fish

The party has ended. Check out the recap here!

Hey Poptropicans. As 2020 comes to an end, it’s time to say goodbye to Flash, the technology that Poptropica has been running on since its beginning in 2007, which is being replaced by Poptropica on Haxe.

But we here at the PHB couldn’t let it go without a bang! And as the holidays draw near, we figure the timing’s good for a Poptropica party. So join us and let’s commemorate the occasion as our accessibility to years of Poptropica memories will soon be “gone in a Flash”!

⏰ When: Saturday, December 19 @ 8 pm Eastern / 7 pm Central / 6 pm Mountain / 5 pm Pacific (for all other time zones, check this time converter). In some parts of the world, it may be Sunday morning, December 20. Save the date!
📍 Where: Hanging out in Poptropica’s common rooms on Mythology and 24 Carrot Island—we’ll try to meet on both Flash and Haxe, though whether Flash stays accessible can’t be guaranteed! Your best bet on where to find the party is to stay with us on our Discord server, the PHC — a fun, safe chat space where PHB staff and other Poptropicans regularly hang out. It’s open anytime, so come on in!
💥 Why: To give one last hurrah for Flash, the engine that’s sustained Poptropica for over a decade. And to celebrate the holidays!

While Poptropica is working on bringing over many beloved classic islands from Flash to the new era of Haxe, and have already been making some progress, some things are still going to look different. We’re hopeful for the future of Poptropica, but the transition is definitely a milestone — one that we’d like to commemorate with you.

So bring your nostalgic tears, your anticipatory fears, and temper that with your gratitude for all the years and a fair bit of holiday cheers, too. We’ll see you there as the game changes gears! 🥳

Guest Posts, PHB Parties

You’re invited to celebrate Dr. Beev Day! 🐿

September 11, 2020September 12, 2020 Slanted Fish

Note: The following event is not organized by the PHB, but will be taking place on our Discord server, the PHC! Hear it from MaryannTheConqueror…

We, a group of Poptropica Month participants, have decided to announce a very special day for all Poptropicans, in honor of a very special character. Even though the Poptropica Creators hardly acknowledge him, this character is much loved by the Poptropica fan community, which is why we have decided to hold this event:

🐿 In Honor of the Great Dr. Beev 🐿

What: Beev Party!
When: September 15, 2020 (Tuesday) at 12 p.m. Eastern (11 a.m. Central / 10 a.m. Mountain / 9 a.m. Pacific — for other time zones, use a converter. It may be late night Tuesday or early morning Wednesday in some parts of the world.)
Where: 24 Carrot cinema common room (Flash version) and the PHC (including voice chat!)
What to prepare: Anything Beev related!!! Stories, theories, fan art, your love, etc.

In addition to partying it up in the cinema on 24 Carrot Island (home of Dr. Beev’s inferior mirror, Dr. Hare) and hanging out on the PHC, we’ll also be playing through Mocktropica Island to find the elusive picture of the beloved beaver-doctor in the trash can. Some of us may also be making videos in honor of this great character and his takeover, so keep an eye out for those. Mark your calendars and join us for a fun time!

We will not stop showing our support for the great Dr. Beev until the Poptropica Creators give us a Dr. Beev costume, beaver pets, and maybe even an entire Beev Island! (And it better not be for members only, or there’ll be rioting in the common rooms…)

Update: Here’s a video announcing everything mentioned above!

Castori honorem

See you on the PHC and in Poptropica! 🎉

Blast from the Past

2011 Rewind: Toys & Prizes? We’re Game

August 13, 2019February 13, 2024 Slanted Fish

This post is part of our Poptropica Yearbook series. If you missed the intro, check it out on the 2007 Rewind and browse the collection here.

2011 was like Poptropica heaven. This was a time of peak popularity for the fandom, and plenty was popping!

Poptropicans had some fun times hanging out on our Poptropica Help Chat (PHC) server, particularly during the PHB Author Night sessions we introduced. Plus, we had plenty of reasons to party, what with events like the PHB celebrating 5 million views in May, the countdown to Shrink Ray Island’s release in June, and the PHB’s third birthday in July!

A big new thing was pre-island mini-quests, which were created to promote an island before its release. Back in January, Wild West Island was the first to get one: a little horse-lassoing game called Round’Em Up! Every day, you could play for a new prize, like the color-changing Wunder Tonic.

In March, Wimpy Wonderland Island debuted on Poptropica, which was pretty significant since Jeff Kinney, the author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, is the founder of Poptropica! (Another fun fact: Before the first Wimpy Kid book was even in print, it could be read online on Funbrain, a website that also promoted Poptropica from its beginning.)

Each island came with its own map, where you could hover over an area to see its name. The PHB would put together fully labeled versions like this.

Other games and islands released this year were: Prepare for Impact! for Red Dragon Island, DC Diner for Mystery Train Island, Money Ladder for Game Show Island, and Spook Central for Ghost Story Island.

Money Ladder, the preview game for Game Show Island

But the general consensus as to the most exciting mini-quest was not a pre-island game. Instead, it was an out-of-this-world (literally, you leave Poptropica for a distant planet) experience filled with mysterious robots and sword fights: Legendary Swords, released on the momentous date of 11/11/11 (November 11, 2011).

A small but helpful feature was also introduced: the pause button. This allowed you to freeze time on Poptropica, which was good for lingering on dialogue or scanning the scenery just a little (or a lot) longer.

Poptropica also released a wide selection of toys, each with a special code that would give your in-game character a bonus item! There were three-inch and six-inch figures, plushies, and even a big ol’ inflatable blimp.

And that’s not all the Poptropica merch. The first ever Poptropica book, The Poptropica Guide, made its debut in October 2011. Poptropica even had a few scavenger hunts from the book to unlock prizes in-game — but of course, the book’s got nothing on the PHB, where we have guides for all the islands that have been released since then… and plenty more!

To round off the year, Ghost Story Island came and gave us a spooky yet sentimental story, making it the 23rd island. Poptropica had released an impressive 7 islands in 2011 — their most yet, and that’s not even counting all the mini-games! Poptropica was really on a roll with this year!

You’ve reached the end of the 2011 page of the Poptropica Yearbook! Stay tuned for the next chapter, and to view the entire collection, check out the Poptropica Yearbook in our Pop Plus collection.
