I just finished

I just finished Shrink Ray and am working on a guide.

Shrink Ray!

Shrink Ray Island will be available tomorrow!

We can't wait to let Poptropicans start playing Shrink Ray Island tomorrow. But there's one drawback: you only have one more day to try to beat Shark Boy's high score in Shrink Shot!



Can you do it? Find out before Shrink Ray Island opens tomorrow, June 30!

The official guide

Announcing the Poptropica guidebook!

It's true: Poptropica: The Official Guide is coming! This full-color guidebook contains walkthroughs for most Poptropica Islands, behind-the-scenes looks at how an Island is made, and quotes from the Poptropica Creators.

Poptropica: The Official Guide will be released on October 13. For a special sneak preview, visit the Poptropica guidebook page on Amazon.com for a special preview: an interview with Jeff Kinney, Poptropica creator and Diary of a Wimpy Kid author!

It's almost time

Shrink Ray Island is coming this Thursday, June 30. Here's your first look at the Shrink Ray Island map.

You'll explore much of Shrink Ray Island as a teeny tiny Poptropican. Good thing we didn't shrink the map, too!

If only they could fix the countdown

Diary of a Wimpy kid Ad!

There is a new add where you.... yes you, get to be a part of the legendary rock band.... Loded Diper!

Apparently.... Loded Diper's lead singer ate cotton balls and got sick so you have to sing in the show. What will you do? Read the words off your very own roll of toilet paper!
It is like Guitar Hero and the Lemonade Mouth add. As the head hits the name of the key, you press the key.


If you win, you get two prizes. One is a toilet paper mummy suit and the other is a Loded Diper shirt.

20 rarest items

20. Brain Hat

The cell phone on Nabooti Island holds many secrets. If you dial 411 and then make a call, you'll find yourself with all the information you could ever need!

19. Viking Suit

The Viking Suit is tucked away in the upper righthand corner of the Viking time period on Time Tangled Island. It's not necessary to complete the quest, so some Poptropicans missed it. To get the Viking Suit, equip the glider from Leonardo's workshop, and then glide from the Viking mountain until you land on the ledge with the suit.

18. Multiverse

It's the priciest item in the Poptropica Store, but the most versatile. With the Multiverse, you can create your own room and invite your real-life friends to chat and battle.

17. Nabooti Mask

To celebrate the launch of Nabooti Island, we hid this mask somewhere on Spy Island for a short period of time. This isn't the only treasure hunt item that will show up on this countdown!
.

16. Astro-Knights Medallion

Astro-Knights is one of the toughest Islands we've made, so it's no surprise that not many Poptropicans have this medallion in their inventory. But it's not out of reach! All you need is a little perseverance.

15. Goofy Glasses

Another treasure hunt item, the goofy glasses were briefly available in the sewers of Super Power Island. But if you missed out then, you can still get them in the eyeglasses shop on Spy Island!

14. Wild West Hero

All Poptropica Members who played the cattle-rustlin' preview game for Wild West Island were granted this exclusive Wild West Hero outfit. But this wasn't even the most rare item from that game!

13. Sunglasses

The sunglasses were briefly available on top of Pendulum's lab on Time Tangled Island. The dark glasses will return, however! Players who get the Spy Island 3" action figures will receive a code that will allow them to wear a Spy Agent costume that includes these killer shades.


12. Mech Pilot

For a limited time, Poptropica Members were given this Mech Pilot costume. Anyone can freely costume similar costume parts on Poptropica, but this specific costume is a rare one indeed.

11. Skullduggery Pirate

The Skullduggery Pirate was part of a special two-pack given to Members shortly before the debut of Skullduggery Island. Be on the lookout for two more Skullduggery-themed costumes, Captain Crimson and Captain Cobalt, when you get the Skullduggery Island 3" figures. Speaking of Skullduggery Island...

10. Skullduggery Medallion

Another challenging Island, Skullduggery has seen fewer completions than most of the other Poptropica adventures. It's not too hard, though -- just keep working your way clockwise from one trading post to the next, and in no time you'll have enough doubloons to buy the Phoenix Warbird!

9. Paper Kid

To celebrate the release of our Diary of a Wimpy Kid-themed Island, Wimpy Wonderland, all Poptropica Members got the "Paper Kid" costume. Unlike most costume cards, this one doubled as a special power. You can paperize anyone else you see, too!


8. Woodstock Follower

This special item was available to Poptropica Members during the launch of Great Pumpkin Island. Snoopy's pal, Woodstock, will follow you around anywhere you go!

7. Robin Hood Limited Edition

You can still find the standard-issue Robin Hood costume in the Poptropica store, but this limited edition was available for only a short time back in 2009.

6. Renegade Robot Limited Edition

Like the limited edition Robin Hood costume, the Renegade Robot was available in the Poptropica Store for one short week back in August of 2009.

5. Light Ninja

The most sought-after costume from those heady days of summer 2009, the Light Ninja lives on in the hearts and minds of Poptropicans everywhere.


4. Hypnotic

This dazzling costume was available for a short time by clicking on an otherwise unremarkable window in Early Poptropica.

3. Cryptids Nessie Hat

One of the hardest items to acquire in Poptropica's history was the Nessie Hat during the sneak preview of Cryptids Island. Players could look through a viewfinder on the shores of Loch Ness, and those who spotted Nessie won this item!

2. Wunder Bubble Tonic

Unlike the Loch Ness viewfinder, roping cattle in the Wild West sneak preview wasn't about luck. But it was incredibly difficult, and not many Poptropicans were able to wrangle all of the prizes from that game, including the final prize, Wunder Bubble Tonic.

1. 3rd Birthday Hat

To win the 3rd birthday hat, a Poptropican had to be incredibly lucky. First of all, you had to be in a common room during our 3rd birthday celebration last September. Next, you needed to see a special balloon appear, which most Poptropicans never did. And finally, you had to click on the balloon before you left the room! Those who made it were rewarded with the 3rd birthday hat, the rarest item in the history of Poptropica.


There you have it. Disclaimer: You can still get Hypnotic

Hits

I am very excited to inform you that I got over 900 hits last month. Post a comment telling me what to do to celebrate!

Rare Items

The 20 rarest items in Poptropica

Good news, everyone: Shrink Ray Island launches on June 30!

It's hard to believe, but Shrink Ray Island will be the 20th Poptropica Island. That's a lot of adventures -- lots of characters to meet, foes to battle, and items to collect.

In the time since we introduced Early Poptropica, some items have been harder to find than others. To celebrate our 20th Island, we'll be counting down the 20 rarest items in Poptropica. How many of these rare items do you have in your inventory?

20. Brain Hat

The cell phone on Nabooti Island holds many secrets. If you dial 411 and then make a call, you'll find yourself with all the information you could ever need!

19. Viking Suit

The Viking Suit is tucked away in the upper righthand corner of the Viking time period on Time Tangled Island. It's not necessary to complete the quest, so some Poptropicans missed it. To get the Viking Suit, equip the glider from Leonardo's workshop, and then glide from the Viking mountain until you land on the ledge with the suit.

18. Multiverse

It's the priciest item in the Poptropica Store, but the most versatile. With the Multiverse, you can create your own room and invite your real-life friends to chat and battle.

17. Nabooti Mask

To celebrate the launch of Nabooti Island, we hid this mask somewhere on Spy Island for a short period of time. This isn't the only treasure hunt item that will show up on this countdown!

Tomorrow, we'll count down the next four items!

I have had the Brain Helmet and Nabooti mask but custimized them away... And I have the Viking Suit and Multiverse. So far I'm four for four. I bet i know what will be another one...

You find it by clicking on a certain window in Poptropica Towers. If you don't have it... head on over to my Early Poptropica guide on my Island Guide Page!

How to redeem the code from your Poptropica toys

How to redeem the code from your Poptropica toys

We're hearing that Poptropica toys are starting to show up on the shelves of Toys "R" Us stores all over the place! Hopefully you've had a chance to check them out in person. But you may be wondering how to use the code that comes with each toy, which gives your Poptropican cool new powers and costumes.

First, make sure you're logged into your saved game. If you don't yet have a saved game, create a new character, press the round "save" button, and create a username and password. Make sure to keep the username and password safe!

Next, you can enter your code in one of two places. When you log into Poptropica with an existing account, you can enter your code in the lower righthand part of the screen.

Or you can visit the Poptropica Store by pressing the star icon in the top right of your screen. The place to enter your code is located in the upper right.

The code works the same way in either place. Once you've redeemed it, go to your in-game inventory and select "store items" from the dropdown menu to use your new goodies.

Last, and most important: Enjoy!

New things!

Where are my comics?

Some of you have noticed a glitch in the comics section of the Daily Pop. They're not updating! Our team of trained monkeys is working overtime to fix the issue. We will let you know just as soon as it's resolved.

And the homepage changed.... again.


Where toys used to be, now there is "Island Tour" which is just the island's info page. They replace the "Red Dragon Now Available" with the Shrink Ray thing. It says that the preview video is coming up and if you click on it you are sent to the info page. And finale... Toys are now available.

Interesting Facts

I remember posting "Hey, I was checking out my blog stats and it took me almost a year to get 1,000 hits and I've gotten over 400 in the last two months!"That was 367 days ago. Now I'm in pace to get 700 hits this month!
I'm so excited. I'll need to do something special.

Update: It is now one year later and I have over 5,000 hits this month! To whom it concerns.

Twisted Wizard Guide

As the newest game of all and the fact that it is not thought of as being a game like the others featured in my game guides, there are little to no other game guides for this game! This game is one of the three single-player games, so this means that you have to go to your Items and scroll down to games and go to the end to play this one. This is the game card.


The point of the game is to keep the Ogres away from you.

You do this by building walls and clicking on the ogres to strike them with lightning.
You must have the wall at least two blocks thick all around you to start the game like shown in the circle.



A little editing.

I did a little editing on 24 Carrot. Head on over to see the differences.



And this is what my Character looks like now! He is all Membership-ed Out!!!



He has...
  • Psychedelic Shirt
  • Templar Knight Helmet
  • Pharaoh Chin-thing
  • Madusa
  • Flame
  • Flower Power
  • Minimizer
  • Bobblehead
  • Folower
  • Sparkle Power
  • Pop Gum Spook Pack
  • Balloon
  • Phantom
  • Colorizer Green Skin
All at the same time! I think that's all. It's really fun.

New Islands

I was digging through the Daily Pop and it holds the secrets to the new islands. First is a Robo-Island.... again. I found all of these pictures...










And a Train Island?
