Update: It turns out that girls can do both advertisement quests. Girls rule! Boys drool! If you have a girl character, you’ll see Polly Pocket on some island (Early Poptropica, for example) and the Pirates advertisement on others (Shark Tooth).

There are two advertisement missions running right now on Poptropica. As far as I can tell, one is available to boy characters and one is available to girl characters. The one for girls is Polly Pocket and the one for boys is for the upcoming movie, The Pirates! – Band of Misfits. Here are all the Poptropica cheats and secrets for both advertisement missions.


The Pirates! – Band of Misfits

In this ad mission, you need to help the pirates sink another ship and claim its treasure. The mission is taken nearly straight from Skullduggery Island. In the game, you navigate your ship using the mouse to aim and fire your cannons and the spacebar to drop and raise anchor. Just seek out the other ship on the mini-map and avoid the giant sea monster and you’ll be fine. The other ship doesn’t fire back, so it’s very easy to win this one. The rewards include a pirate captain costume for boys, a Cutlass Liz costume for girls, and a Polly follower (a bird).

Polly Pocket Surfing

In the Polly Pocket ad mission, you choose a swim suit and a surf board and then play a quick mini-game where you have to jump over obstacles in the water and score 2,000 points. Once you do, you win the game and get the prizes, which include the Polly Pocket swim outfit and the Polly Pocket Polly Power. The swim outfit looks a lot like the Mythology Surfer outfits from the store, where you get a swimsuit and a surfboard. The Polly Power lets you give any other Poptropican the “Best Day Ever.” You kind of have to see it in action to understand. Give the video a quick peek:

There is a new advertisement mission available for younger Poptropicans on Main Street in most of the islands. It’s an advertisement for Froot Loops and it contains a very short game where you need to catch Froot Loops cereal that shoots out of a fountain inside a temple using a bowl that Toucan Sam gives you. Then you need to catch the villain, a giant fish named the Selfish Fruit Master. Really. I’m not making this up.

To play, you need to be between the ages of 6 and 9. Don’t forget that you can always make a mule or temporary new character if your main Poptropican is too old. Go to Early Poptropica island and then walk a little to the right and you’ll see the Froot Loops temple. Go inside and speak with the big Toucan (Toucan Sam) and he will give you the bowl to catch the Froot Loops in.

Here is a video walkthrough that shows you how to do the whole thing.

To win the mission, just go up a level and click on the fountain to start the game. It will play for 60 seconds and you need to catch at least twenty Froot Loops by walking over them. It’s very easy because after about 30 seconds or so, they’ll all start to collect on the bottom level and you can run over them all to get 20 in no time at all. The Selfish Fruit Master will sometimes appear and if he hits you, you’ll lose some of the cereal in your bowl but not very much.

After the 60 seconds are over and you’ve found at least 20 Froot Loops, the Selfish Fruit Master says you have to catch him. This is really easy. Just stay put and eventually he runs into you. End of mission! The rewards are a Fruit Master costume just like the woman outside the temple is wearing and a special Fruit Fountain Power card that makes it rain cereal wherever you are.
