Ranking the Halloween-Adjacent Islands ๐Ÿฆ‡

Howdy, spooptropicans! Halloween may be behind us, but Iโ€™m here to prolong the excitement for just a little longer as today Iโ€™m going to rank all of the Halloween-related islands in Poptropica.

There are six islands that I believe fit the bill perfectly due to their spoopy nature; a couple of them are even directly themed around Halloween, such as the beloved Haunted House mini-quest, which will also be included in this list albeit not a full-fledged island. (Because duh, right? ๐Ÿ˜„) Now let’s get started! (Spoilers warning)

#6) Haunted House ๐Ÿชฆ

I feel a bit guilty including this one only to put it at the end, but it just doesnโ€™t stack up against the rest. It lacks a lot of substance which makes sense since it is a mini-island after all. That said, Haunted House definitely gives off those lovely OG Poptropica vibes that I appreciate, especially since itโ€™s from 2009. I enjoyed riding around on the broomstick, solving a few puzzles, and seeing all the classic monster costumes at the party too.

#5) Great Pumpkin ๐ŸŽƒ

I really like the “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” special and the island is no different. The cartoon was greatly adapted into the world of Poptropica. It’s short and sweet, but effective in its plot and depicting the characters accurately. Great Pumpkin is a cute, light-hearted island filled with many games and tidbits that make for a very fun play. My favorite parts were the ones with Snoopy. There’s also a Halloween party in this one as well some trick-or-treating involved. Perfect!

#4) Vampire’s Curse ๐Ÿง›

(I felt really proud of myself after completing this one and memorizing exactly how to do it with every subsequent playthrough. ๐Ÿค“) Although Vampire’s Curse might not be the most thrilling experience, it is quite complexโ€”and being alone in Bram’s secluded castle definitely cranks up the scare factor. The artists really outdid themselves with this gorgeous island. The largely monochromatic color scheme is oddly satisfying, and the gothic buildings paired with the ominous thunder and rain create a lot of visual appeal. There’s also a romance plot that is both dramatic and sentimental woven here. However, I think the next island tells a romance story that is even better…

#3) Ghost Story ๐Ÿ‘ป

There are so many eerie places on Ghost Story that keep you on your toes as if you’re just waiting for a jump scareโ€”especially the cemetery. And letโ€™s be real, hearing Fiona’s voice from behind you was startling. While the setting itself is cool, it isn’t anything extraordinary; That’s not always a bad thing though. The true highlight of this island is its storytelling. The emotional love triangle storyline and the topic of death set this island apart from the others in a really cool way. It’s very mature for Poptropica standards. This would’ve been a great island for the creators to bring back considering the aging fanbase, but alas, this dream will never come true. RIP ๐Ÿ˜”

#2) Zomberry ๐ŸงŸ

This one brings back a lot of fond memories for me, so Iโ€™m aware I might be a little biased here. Zomberry is my second favorite island from 2013, and itโ€™s claiming the silver spot in my rankings once again. Like the previous two islands, the setting is dark and scary, but this time with our character wandering through a city taken over by zombies. I find the zombiesโ€™ blueberry designs pretty amusing, and theyโ€™re not really a threat in the end; still, itโ€™s a pretty horrific scenario. Zomberry is a pretty awesome island for introducing us to memorable characters like DJ Saturday Nite and Gamer Guy, along with plenty of action when youโ€™re battling those zomberries.

#1) Monster Carnival ๐ŸŽช

I realize this pick might come off as a bit obvious since this island was my top choice in my recent 2014 islands ranking, but I canโ€™t help that I love it so much! The 6-year mystery leading up to its release still gets me excited like a total geek. Monster Carnival does a wonderful job of combining the playful atmosphere of a carnival with the elements of a horror movie. The soundtrack, the monsters, and Ringmaster Ravenโ€”whoโ€™s one of the best villains and characters in the gameโ€”really elevate this island to another level and make it truly special to me.


And there it is! How many of these islands have you played, and what does your ranking look like? Also, how did you celebrate Halloween? Let’s talk about it in the comments.

I’m grateful to all of you for reading, and I look forward to our next conversation. Until then, stay awesome and pop on! ๐Ÿ€

Astro-Knights Island, Big Nate Island, Islands, Reviews

2009 Island Showdown: Astro-Knights VS Big Nate

Howdy Poptropicanos, it’s LJ in your faces again! ๐Ÿคช To commemorate the 15th anniversary of Astro-Knights Island and Big Nate Island this year, I thought it’d be fun to conduct a comparison between the two where I evaluate the fundamental elements of each island to determine which one is the better option. (Pretend that the outcome isn’t obvious, alright?) Let’s begin!

For the gameplay discussion, my emphasis will not be on the plots as I intend to reserve that topic for the story portion that will come later. Instead, my focus here will be on the technical dimensions of the islands.

Big Nate Island

This island encompasses a plethora of key features that are emblematic of Poptropica islands such as locating a multitude of paper pieces scattered everywhere, piecing the papers together, swimming underwater, mixing liquids, and playing a few of minigames (racing an opponent, hangman and table football). I appreciate all of these elements, particularly the minigames. I wouldn’t have minded a few more to be honest. One negative thing I will say is that I was not a fan of Nate following my character around everywhere I went. Was that just me? So anyway, how does Big Nate compare to Astro-Knights?

Astro-Knights Island

The time required to complete Astro-Knights is about double that of its rival, which I find absolutely delightful! In the early stages, the gameplay is more or less similar to Big Nate involving the typical exploring and item collecting. However, upon reaching space, things really get exciting.

We get to build a custom spaceship, which, while not having a substantial impact on the island’s tactical gameplay, remains an entertaining feature. Navigating through space, avoiding asteroids, luring space sharks, and fighting against enemy ships were indeed challenging tasks, yet they were not overwhelmingly stressful.

The most challenging parts of Astro-Knights Island are the four significant battles that resemble “boss fights,” including the three misleading encounters (the Mother Phoenix, the Tigercopter, and the Dragotank) and the final showdown against Mordred. Besides the Mother Phoenix, I experienced a fair share of difficulties with all of these. Nonetheless, these battles greatly eclipse even the most engaging gameplay that Big Nate Island has to offer. Honestly, the absence of such difficulty is sorely missed. Any islands for that matter, but that ship has unfortunately passed.

Which one wins?

It seems I may have gone a little overboard in my discussion of the gameplay in Astro-Knights Island. ๐Ÿ˜… There was just so much to unpack! It’s quite obvious which one I was more enthusiastic about and which island takes the first round: Astro-Knights!

The differences in the characteristics of these two islands are strikingly apparent. Let’s get into it.

Big Nate Island

Big Nate Island’s appearance presents a whimsical and joyful ambiance. As you walk through the island, your eyes are treated to or tortured by vivid, colorful illustrations, all accentuated by thick black outlines, which enhance the sensation of really being inside a comic book.

I find the comic book aesthetic highly appealing, and I’m someone who is very attracted to bright colors. Also, the school, the playground, and the klassic komix store bring back memories of my IRL childhood, creating a comforting atmosphere.

Astro-Knights Island

While traversing the landscapes of Astro-Knights, we come across an obliterated medieval kingdom, black holes, space sharks, lava-controlled platforms, a mechanical ecosystem, and an actual asteroid belt. The array of locations on this island is truly breathtaking.

The stark contrast between the setting reminiscent of the Middle Ages and the advanced, futuristic planets in outer space (with completely different climates from one another) contributes to the island’s diverse appeal, making it more captivating than many others.

Which one wins?

This round was somewhat more of a tossup. Each of these islands had a viable chance of winning, as I appreciate the styles and moods of both of them. Ultimately, I opted for Astro-Knights Island as the victor for this round, primarily because it offers a higher number of scenesโ€”which can never be a bad thing in Poptropica!

Big Nate’s pivotal concern revolves around the possible destruction of a middle schoolโ€”a cause certainly worth caring about. In Astro-Knights the story is much more out of the ordinary, however. Time to elaborate!

Big Nate Island

The plot of Big Nate is a bit lackluster. It seems to be a step back in terms of intricacy. In comparison to previous islands like Nabooti, 24 Carrot, and Spy, it feels excessively straightforward.

From my perspective, the characters within this island are not developed enough. The storyline is interesting; however, I don’t believe it was executed to its maximum potential in the plot we were offered. As a child, I found it okay, but looking back now, I am not as wowed as I am with Astro-Knightsโ€”which still holds up with the ageing fanbase in these more recent years.

Astro-Knights Island

It goes without saying that the lore and mission in this island are exceptional. A princess, intrigued by the vanishing of a scientist who has gone missing in space, finds herself abducted by aliens. Our job is to launch into orbit to rescue her. Additionally, the once noble scientist has transformed into a malevolent cyborg, and we are tasked with locating three knights who have vanished on various planets while in pursuit of the lost princess. This dramatic tale is filled with so many compelling elements, it’s unreal.

This island presents two noteworthy characters, Elyana and the more celebrated Binary Bard/Mordred. Heck, he took the gold in Pop’s villain showdown back in the day and has remained popular ever since! Since I was not aware of the Big Nate comics when the island was released, I had no insight into the characters. Their minimal development within the island led to them feeling somewhat forgettable to me. Astro-Knights has little to no issues with this.

It’s also worth noting that Astro-Knights demands a certain level of investigation to grasp the situation at play, unlike Big Nate, where the problem is presented immediately upon arrival.

Which one wins?

There is no question that Astro-Knights has once again triumphed in this round. The story is just so exceptionally engaging, and when I reflect on its awesomeness, I envision its potential to be adapted into an outstanding feature length film! Wouldn’t that be epic?


Big Nate Island had a tough day being demolished by Astro-Knights Island with a score of 3-0. To be honest, it was a bit of a mismatch given that Astro-Knights is widely regarded as the favorite among the community.

Iโ€™d love to know your thoughts on both islands! How would you rate them overall? Iโ€™d say Big Nate deserves a 3 out of 5 peanut butter crackers, and Iโ€™d give Astro-Knights a perfect 5 out of 5 force shields! Thanks for reading and pop on folks. ๐Ÿ€

Arabian Nights Island, Islands, Mission Atlantis Island, Monster Carnival Island, PHB Series, Pop 5, PoptropiCon Island, Survival Island

Pop 5: Ranking the Islands of 2014

Howdy doodly Poptropicanos, it’s LJ! ๐ŸคŸ Despite the seemingly grim future of Poptropica, we hold dear the memories of its earlier days. Today, I invite you to travel back in time with me as I reveal my Pop 5 ranking of the islands from 2๏ธโƒฃ0๏ธโƒฃ1๏ธโƒฃ4๏ธโƒฃ!

The year 2014 marked the emergence of episodic islands, with islands being unveiled in parts referred to as episodes, which became available at intervals of several weeks or months. Apart from Monster Carnival, the episodic island era consisted of Survival, Mission Atlantis, PoptropiCon, and Arabian Nights.

The concluding episodes of PoptropiCon and Arabian Nights were launched in 2015. Nevertheless, I will include every episode in my assessment of the islands for the sake of the ranking process. These islands as a whole are still regarded as 2014 releases on the Poptropica Wiki, given that they made their debut during that year.

Before we go any further, I’d like to warn you that many spoilers are present ahead. (Most of these are still playable for free if you want to give them a go!) The links to the synopses and any past reviews of these islands will be included throughout the commentary for more understanding if you need it. ๐Ÿค“


#5. Mission Atlantis Island ๐Ÿฆˆ

Mission Atlantis was released on April 17 for members and May 15 for all players.

Although certain animations were visually appealing (particularly the visions and the concluding cut scene in episode three), they aren’t enough to boost this island’s standing on the list. The story pretty much failed to engage me at any given moment. The experience in Mission Atlantis is mostly solitary, and while this approach can be effective in certain islands, such as Steamworks Island, it didn’t resonate with me here. There was only a slight spark of interest for me at the end of episode two but as I progressed into episode three, I found myself feeling somewhat disinterested and bored once again. The “hockey game” segment where we’re supposed to maneuver the power disks felt more tedious and redundant rather than challenging. ๐Ÿ˜’

Had I not been a completionist, I likely would have abandoned this one during the second episode and never returned to finish it. I realize that my critique may seem overly critical, but this island ranks among my least favorites in general, and I suspect many other Poptropicans would share this opinion. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ (Check out this older review from another PHB author with a differing perspective!) Positioned at the 4th spot, we have…


#4. PoptropiCon Island ๐Ÿ—ฏ๏ธ

PoptropiCon marked the 41st island to Poptropica, with its release for members occurring on August 28 and for everyone else on September 18.

I regret having to rank this island so low on the list, but the fierce competition this year forces me to do so. (2014 was truly the last year with more hits than misses in my opinion.) At the time of its initial release, I didn’t have a particular interest in PoptropiCon. I didn’t have any aversion to it; rather, I just simply didn’t give it much consideration. It was many years later that I came to genuinely appreciate it. ๐Ÿ™‚

I find nearly every aspect of this island appealing, particularly the convention setting both within and outside the convention center. Although I’m typically not fond of using the costumizer on an island (like in Time Tangled Island) I believe it was effectively employed in this instance. It was contextually relevant, and the experience of scouring around for costume parts to embody different characters was actually quite enjoyable. ๐Ÿ‘

Letโ€™s talk about the fun factor! Playing The Mighty Action Force card game in episode 2 and then using all their superpowers in the final episode was such a blast. And those jaw-dropping cut scenes in the last episode? I canโ€™t forget the moment you enter Omegon’s dimension and transform into Alphaon. Thereโ€™s just so much greatness packed into this islandโ€™s gameplay! ๐Ÿคฉ (While we don’t have a full review for PoptropicCon, the last episode was reviewed by a past author.)

PoptropiCon has introduced us to amazing characters like The Mighty Action Force and Omegon (who took over the PHB in 2015) who’ve all become iconic. I adore their designs, along with the hench-bots. Itโ€™s amusing that for a convention called Poptropi”Con,” there are so few cons to mention! Alright, let’s tackle number 3.


#3. Survival Island ๐ŸซŽ

The initial introduction of Survival Ep. 1 occurred on March 20 for members, followed by its release to everyone on April 17. The 5th and final episode was made available to members on September 11, with a subsequent release for all players a few weeks later in early October.

The episodic releases of this island extended over the longest duration throughout the year, thus it is undebatable that Survival Island represents a significant moment of 2014. (Check out the series of mini reviews we call PHB Quickies of episodes 1-4!)

I believe that the first two episodes somehow could’ve been effectively combined into a single cohesive episode since the gameplay lacks any eventful excitement and sort of drags out. The isolation in the first few episodes is somewhat akin to that of Mission Atlantis; however, I have a greater appreciation for the setting in Survival. It’s quite enjoyable to engage in roleplaying as if one were truly part of the scenario, even if the thrill is absent at first.

Each episode ends with a strong cliffhanger that entices players to proceed to the next chapter. The island’s appeal significantly increases upon entering MVB’s cabin and trying to escape in episode four and continues onto episode 5 as we’re being hunted down. As you navigate the challenges of the wilderness in the early stages, the final episode completely redefines the concept of “survival”. The climax was climaxing for sure. ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Now you might be curious as to why this island is positioned higher than PoptropiCon based on my evaluations. To be candid, the distinction comes down to personal preference rather than actual technical excellence. ๐Ÿ˜… There also is an element of bias at play; as previously mentioned, I didn’t play PoptropiCon extensively when I was younger. I completed it only once in its entirety back then, while I have revisited Survival on numerous occasions throughout the years. Because of that, it holds a greater sense of nostalgia for me. ๐Ÿ˜Š The competition for the 4th and 3rd place rankings was quite competitive though.

Now, let us proceed to the next island on our list, shall we?


#2. Arabian Nights Island ๐Ÿ•Œ

Arabian Nights first appeared on the map for members on October 2 and then for all players on October 23. I must admit that my younger self felt somewhat salty when this island was initially launched, as I was disappointed for not taking part in the Create Your Dream Island Contest myself. ๐Ÿ˜… However, I am more than pleased that this submission emerged as the winner!

In terms of gameplay, Arabian Nights may not be of the highest caliber, but still this island effectively fulfills its purpose. I have always found trading in Poptropica to be enjoyable, and I appreciated its prominence in most of the episodes. Exploring the underground caves of the thieves in episode two and going through the secret door in the royal palace in episode three were thrilling and reminiscent of an epic movie. I also valued elements such as the “Donkey Kong” segment, the utilization of the magic sand bomb, and the experience of soaring on the magic carpet.

Arabian Nights features an exceptional storyline; it’s probably one of the best in the entire game actually. The characters, including Scheherazade, the princess and leader of the thieves, Samhal the genie, and Brutus the henchman contribute to a great ensemble, each possessing their own character development, whether significant or minor. The touching moment shared between Scheherazade and her father at the end was executed beautifully. It really highlighted the profoundly negative impact of greed on both oneself and those in oneโ€™s vicinity, which I believe is the main theme the creators were trying to drive home. They delivered with incredible finesse here. ๐Ÿ‘

If that wasn’t all enough, I feel that I must draw attention to the extraordinary atmosphere that this island offers. I’m obsessed. ๐Ÿ˜ The beautiful Arabian architecture and traditional clothing, together with the mesmerizing soundtrack (created by Jeff Heim), immerse me in the rich culture and make me feel pure bliss. (Here’s a review from right after the final installment came out by Slanted Fish & Slippery Raptor who share my sentiments.)

I’m really curious about how the final outcome compared to Sarah/Magic Eagle’s initial entry. Given that the contest was exclusively for participants aged 8 to 12, I find myself intrigued by the capabilities of such a young child, and I hope that doesn’t come off as patronizing. I’m simply amazed.


#1. Monster Carnival Island ๐ŸŽก

The highly anticipated Monster Carnival Island officially launched on February 21 for members, followed by its release to all players on March 20. This had the fandom shook to its core! (Read about the mystery revolving around Monster Carnival Island.)

With the exception of the ending, which I’ll address later, I genuinely admire nearly every feature of this island, much like my appreciation for PoptropiCon and Arabian Nights.

Ringmaster Raven is probably my favorite villain ever, which is saying a lot given the plethora of remarkable villains in Poptropica. The soundtrack also ranks highly among my favorites, particularly the piece known as Monster Carnival Main Theme by Jeff Heim. The composition possesses a unique blend of jubilance and eeriness, forming a compelling juxtaposition. ๐Ÿ˜ As a matter of fact, I think it effectively captures the essence of the island hinting at a darker reality lurking beneath the lively and colorful festivities of the carnival. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Monster Carnival is another island that notably excels in its storytelling compared to many others. The gradual transition of the setting from day to dusk and then to night during the gameplay is a nice touch in foreshadowing the terror of what’s to come, and the frightening transformation of the carnival workers into monsters as night descends is both unsettling and strangely satisfying. It gets even better with the revelation of Raven’s backstory through a series of newspapers which kind of make you feel pity and compassion for him. ๐Ÿฅบ

Now for the ending…The original ending left many individuals within the community feeling displeased, and I find myself in agreement. It’s important to recognize that Ringmaster Raven’s attempt to hypnotize the townsfolk into slavery was indeed a serious wrongdoing, for which there is no valid justification that I can think of. Yet, the notion of reducing this manโ€”who has suffered from bullying, dehumanization, and social rejection throughout his existenceโ€”to a state where he believes he is a chicken, thereby subjecting him to a life of embarrassment as a “funny” circus attraction, strikes me as equally distasteful. ๐Ÿคจ The ending was revised in 2022 with the re-release of Monster Carnival on Steam. Some individuals including myself still find the current narrative to be unfulfilling.

Again, while I do not condone Raven’s actions, my ideal resolution would involve him receiving comprehensive counseling in a facility designed to provide a safe and supportive environment where he is treated with dignity and respect during the process. Ya know, like a human…(or Poptropican in this case?) I mean, it’s possible these events could’ve happened off-screen at Erewhon Prison after the conclusion of the island’s events, but that we’ll never know. ๐Ÿซ 

Additionally, I believe that everyone in the town who played a role in his suffering should offer him a direct apologyโ€”something I’m confident he would reciprocate. I sincerely wish that Raven could have experienced a redemption arc; if not on the island, then perhaps through a mini-quest or at least a statement from the creators. ๐Ÿ˜” Something about Raven really touches me.

So, after a six-year anticipation, Monster Carnival Island undoubtedly fulfilled my expectations, despite its flaws. (A reader of ours once shared her thoughts on this island that somewhat resemble mine. ๐Ÿ˜‰) I strongly suspect that the island we ultimately received is far more impressive than it would’ve been had it come to fruition in 2008 as intended.


Well, that concludes my ranking of these islands that are now pretty much a decade old.ย It’s incredible to think about how much time has flown by. What are your thoughts on my list and what isย your ranking of the Poptropica islands of 2014? I encourage y’all to sound off in the comments! Thanks for reading everybody. Props if you made it to the end. I know this was a super long post. ๐Ÿซฃ Until next time, pop on! ๐Ÿ€

Contests, PHB Parties, Tribes

Recap: PHB Tribal Tournament 2024 ๐Ÿ†๐ŸŽ†

Wazzup, Poptropi-lympians! In the last few weeks, our vibrant community representing the diverse tribes of Poptropica engaged in an exciting showdown to determine who would emerge victorious as the ultimate champion. With activities ranging from artistic creations and brain-teasing puzzles to an adventurous scavenger hunt, culminating in a grand closing ceremony, we hope you all had an unforgettable time!

The party was a typical mix of fun and laughter at Midas’ Gym on Mythology Island, where everyone gathered to enjoy some classic common room games. We chatted away in the Poptropica Help Chat (PHC), sharing nostalgic stories and funny gifs and pics. There were also plenty of pushups and dance moves to keep things lively! โšกCan you find yourself in the collage graphic?


๐Ÿ– Gifted Gladiators ๐ŸŽถ

The kickoff round, Gifted Gladiators, which took place throughout the entire event, was a dazzling display of art and creativity. A multitude of Poptropicans showcased their talents by submitting written works, eye-catching visuals, musical compositions, and an array of Poptropica-themed fan creations! We recognized the effort behind each submission, granting players 20 points for their tribe for every piece they submitted.

We were blown away by the amount of artwork that the Nanobots created, which amassed a whopping 1,740 points! Hats off to the mechanical crustaceans for stealing this round. ๐Ÿค–

Check out the awesome Art Gallery Exhibition packed with some spirited submissions for this event. Thereโ€™s a ton of great stuff to see!


๐Ÿ’ช Brawny Brainiacs ๐Ÿง 

In the second round, Brawny Brainiacs, there were several ways to rack up points such as a fun word search, a captivating character crossword puzzle, a tricky decode-a-message challenge, and a host of entertaining Pop the Difference games. Including bonus points, you could individually score up to 1,330 points in this round for your team if you completed every task.

It was the Seraphim who soared to the top this round, racking up an impressive grand total of 3,960 points! ๐Ÿชฝ


๐Ÿ”Ž Sensational Scavenger Hunt ๐Ÿ”ฆ

In the thrilling final round, teams joined forces in a frantic dash to the finish line. A total of 10 clues awaited the tribes, each cleverly hidden throughout the blog’s many pages. The scoring system ranked participants from 80 points for first place down to 10 points for those who crossed the line last.

This time, the Wildfire tribe outshone all rivals, wrapping up their hunt in less than an hourโ€”an astonishing feat unmatched by any other tribe. Standing tall and triumphant, they secured a stellar score of 80 points! ๐Ÿ”ฅ


๐Ÿฅ‡ Final Scores๐Ÿฅˆ

Unfortunately, we have to say that the Yellowjackets are taking home the last place ribbon for the second time in a row, scoring just a tiny 60 points. Yikes! It looks like hibernation came early this year for these sleepy insects.

Worming their way into 7th place, weโ€™ve got the Nightcrawlers. With a score of 845 points, it looks like the early bird caught these little guys before they could wiggle any further.

Wildfire is sitting at a tepid 6th place this year. They put in a solid effort with 1,025 points, but it seems like the flames have cooled off a bit this time.

Flying Squid takes our 5th place spot with 1,460 points! They just ‘squid’n’t manage to break into the top half of the leaderboard. There’s always next time.

The Pathfinders‘ pursuit of first place did not culminate in success, as they raked in a total of 1,520 points; however, they can take pride in their earnest efforts. Coming in 4th place is still a commendable achievement!

In 3rd place, we have the Nanobots! With an impressive score of 3,090 points, these robotic crabs were truly electrifying!

The Black Flags put on an absolutely ‘plunder’ful performance, racking up an impressive total of 3,570 points! While they couldn’t hold onto their title as champions from the previous games, they still managed to clinch an impressive 2nd place. Argh, super close!

Which means…๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ

The Seraphim have emerged as the triumphant champions of this year’s tournament, scoring an overall 4,140 points! Their meticulous game plan, rather than ‘winging’ it, proved to be the winning strategy for this heavenly squad! ๐Ÿ†๐ŸŽŠ


๐Ÿ™Œ G.O.A.Ts of the Games ๐Ÿ‘

While we value each and every one of our participants, a handful of competitors truly excelled, pouring their hearts into ensuring their tribe brought home the gold.

We want to give a super special shoutout to these exceptional Poptropicans for their remarkable dedication:

Pegs of Nanobots, Lazy Kid of Black Flags, Sleepy Biker of Pathfinders, Magic Kid of Nightcrawlers, Squidney24 of Seraphim, Lune of Wildfire, & Bony Bones of Flying Squid

Thank you all so much, once again, for your efforts in maintaining the lively spirit of our Tribal Tournament! Y’all are the GOATs! ๐Ÿ

Strive to persevere
