poptropica news

The Creators finally revealed the launch date for Poptropolis Games, the newest island on Poptropica. It will be available for members to play on Thursday, May 24. In the meantime, the Creators have been busy on the official blog revealing all the names of the tribes that you can belong to when you play the island. Here’s the list of the eight different Poptropolis Tribes:

Late last week, the Poptropica Store was updated with a bunch of new items. There are two new costumes in the store for everyone: Poptropica Babies. There is a boy baby and a girl baby outfit, each complete with diaper, bonnet, t-shirt, pacifier and rattle. When you press space bar while wearing the outfit, you’ll shake the rattle.

Poptropica Members also have access to three new sneak peek items for the Poptropolis Games island. They are the Wrestling Gear outfit, the Plant-A-Statue power, and the Discus. The Wrestling Gear will only be available for a limited time. Once Poptropolis Games leaves early access, it’s gone.

Of course, we still don’t even know when Poptropolis Games will be launched, so there’s no need to hurry!

Well, the Poptropica Creators had their fun April Fool’s joke about fake noses and I had mine about Poptropica closing but now April Fool’s Day is over and we’re back to (ahem) serious business. The Creators have followed up their joke by releasing actual fake noses in the Poptropica Store. These are fake nose, glasses, [...]

While we’re all busy waiting for Twisted Thicket Island to arrive in Poptropica (no word yet on when that will be), it’s pretty amazing to think that there have been twenty-five islands released already. That’s a lot! It seems like only yesterday that Early Poptropica and Shark Tooth Island were the only two islands available. [...]

Hunger Games

OK, I have to admit something. I don’t know if I’m going to go see The Hunger Games movie when it comes out next week, although everyone I know is pretty excited about it. I haven’t yet read the book but I think I might download it onto my Kindle. I dunno. I was kind [...]
