Sneak Peeks, Zomberry Island

Zomberries to return in upcoming event! 🧟‍♂️🫐🔦

Hello, ghouls and ghosts! Halloween is fast approaching, and everyone is gearing up for some spoopy fun. The hype is so infectious that the Poptropica Creators couldn’t avoid it. Yesterday, they announced a new limited time event coming to Poptropica maps near you.

Everyone, brace yourselves because the zomberries will be returning for an upcoming Zomberry Special Event!!!

The original Creators’ Blog post also featured two Zomberry-themed sketches— possibly concept art for the event’s map icon— to go along with the announcement. You can see them below.

If you go to Instagram, you can see what’s presumably the final icon design, which borrows elements from both sketches. The caption on the Instagram teaser simply reads, “Something is happening VERY SOON. And then more is happening after that.”

Man, there’s a lot to look forward to! Judging from the announcement, it’s likely not the Zomberry Island remaster that was teased last year. Since it will a limited time event, it may be a special minigame similar to D.C. Diner or a quest like the Haunted House.

This event could be borrowing elements from previously scrapped Zomberry minigames, which we covered in our “PHB Sneak Peeks” series. Maybe it has something to do with that 8-bit minigame that was teased for the Zomberry Island remaster? Who knows? We’ll have to wait and see.

Players participating in this limited time event will be awarded special perks, so who knows what new prizes could be in store. Keep an eye out for upcoming sneak peeks, and be prepared for the return of the fruity undead.

While we’re waiting for this event, why not buy some costumes to dress up your Poptropican? The Poptropica store added some new items for players to buy, so it’s a great chance to get in the Halloween spirit. Plus, it gives you more to work with for the PHB’s Halloween costume contest. 😉

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Zomberry Island

You are what you eat in a Zombie Outbreak

Hello, everybody! It’s Rainbow Dash here again. I’m sorry I haven’t gotten to posting more often recently since you all know when, but I’m much better and more open to posting now. Even though I’ve been through some big changes, I can still post more often now :).

Well, well, well…looks like the creators are prepping us on that new Zomberry Island. The name sounds catchy to me :D. I know a lot of you want to know a whole lot of background or stories that revolve around this island. Of course, it’s been open to members for awhile, but in three days the residual population can soon find out! So if you’re someone like me who doesn’t want spoilers, shhhhhhhh 😉

Today there’s a new sneak peek for the 32nd island for all of you who want to have the plot all kept secret. Obviously indicating in past posts and the name itself, the berries have something to do with turning the poor citizens into the dead. You’ve all heard the term, “you are what you eat.” But what if you’re in the midst of an outbreak as big as this?

Check out the new creators post that details some investigations you’ll be doing. Perhaps one of these foods was responsible for the initial outbreak? Perhaps all of them? Or perhaps there’s something more dark and weird to this tale. You’ll have to go through a titled “Process of Elimination” to find out what was responsible for this sort of transmutation. It seems in this picture you’ll be examining the citizens and look at whatever they had ate before in a chart. Was it the strawberries, cranberries, bananas that were contaminated? And more importantly, where did the so called foods come from? Find out on Thursday!

Have fun running with zombies, guys :D.

Remember, if a hoard starts chasing you, just say to your buddy: “I don’t have to outrun the hoard. I just have to outrun you” xD.

Bye!
