Remember the announcement of the Wimpy Kid that was going to make history? Well, the announcment is….
A NEW ISLAND NAMED
WIMPY BOARDWALK!
And better yet…
IN LIVING COLOR!
*coughs* It’s tiring using that big voice…. Anyway here’s the trailer for Wimpy Boardwalk, coming this summer to Disney Channel Poptropica!
Island Plot:
It’s summertime, but the living ain’t easy for a wimpy kid. When Greg and Rowley visit the boardwalk for a relaxing beach vacation, they never expect to run afoul of thieving teens, ravenous seagulls, and crooked carnies. Only you can clean up Greg’s mess before vacation ends!
Before you go, there’s one more task to be done. A devious gamer has left an embarrassing message about Greg on a high-score list in the arcade. Can you master the game, save Greg’s dignity, and become the boardwalk champion? Find out how to get Membership now!
Members get an additional Wimpy Boardwalk gear pack, which includes Beachgoer costume, Heat Wave power, and Beach Umbrella item. The Beachgoer is ONLY available during Early Access!
Interesting! First time a character has appeared in 2 islands, and first time Wimpy Kid is in color! History -making announcement indeed! Speaking of announcements, have you noticed the homepage has been changed?
Yeah. Also, the Creators mentioned that if Members beat the ancient warrior in the Poptropolis Games, they can get this Ancient Warriors suit!
~~~
That’s all for me! I haven’t been on lately because of school and stuff, but since summer’s rolled around, I’m finally free! Have a great summer!/ end of school!
We’re already seeing lots of Poptropica Members going for the gold in the Poptropolis Games. Congratulations to the 10 Poptropicans who crossed the finish line first!
1. Barefoot Noodle
2. Orange Fox
3. Friendly Crown
4. Lone Comet
5. Beefy Crush
6. Yellow Dragon
7. Clean Skull
8. Massive Snowball
9. Purple Kid
10. Rough Shell
Good luck to everyone else who’s still trying for that number-one spot. We’ll see you out on the field!
The binary code at the end of the post translates to ‘go for the gold’. Which is reasonable, seeing as how if you don’t win you tribe will go through ULTIMATE SHAME AND DISHONOR. Or words to that effect.
Oh, gee. I have no idea! Who could this mystery person possibly be? Santa Claus? Buzz Lightyear? Dracula?
Hmmmmmmm.
Wait a minute, that body shape, those three hairs, that nose!
It’s… it’s…
Barack Obama!
Lol jks, it’s Greg Heffley. From the Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Written by Jeff Kinney. The creator of poptropica. Diary of a Wimpy Kid? You know, the bestselling series that was likely to be named the most popular childrens series since Harry Potter and then sold about half a million more copies of books than Harry Potter?
GBTommorow Poptropilis Games will become available to members. And members, may I ask you, what tribe will you choose? To pursue this question further I hand over to Captain Crawfish.
Last but not least, the Creators have revealed two more of the tribes – in addition to the 5 shown this past week – to compete in the Poptropolis Games, making a total of eight victory-inspired tribes!
Please welcome:
Wildfire
Winning a competition as tough as the Poptropolis Games takes more than talent. It takes a burning desire to win. Do you have the fiery passion to join the Wildfire?
It certainly does seem to be “the hottest of them all,” because a quick poll on the PCB sidebar reveals that 45% of all voters have expressed interest in this tribe the most! The Seraphim tribe comes second at only 17%, and all the others have less than 10% of the total votes each.
Are you lost in not knowing which one to pick? Try…
Pathfinders
There’s only one route to the gold medal, and this tribe thinks they know which way to go. Maybe you’ll help them get there!
Also, more big news– the Legendary Swords mini quest is now completely FREE! Previously, it was free+, meaning that everyone could play up until a certain point, where you would need membership to continue.
Now nonmembers who have been dying to get in some more kills can rejoice! Get this adventure pack in the Poptropica Store, and if you need further tips after that step, the PHB has a guide written by our very own Brave Tomato! Click here to read it.
So, which of the eight tribes do you like most? Let us know in the comments! I personally like the Flying Squid tribe.
Wow… it looks like the Creators are pretty eager to share with us the tribes. Here are the 5 we know about so far, the dates they were revealed, and what Captain Crawfish said about em:
Flying Squid- Monday- “This tribe hopes to have more than an inkling of victory in the Poptropolis Games.”
Seraphim- Tuesday- “This tribe will rise and fall on the wings of their dreams. Maybe you can help them achieve such great heights!”
Black Flags- Tuesday – “This tribe intends to plant the flag of victory in the heart of Poptropolis — and we suspect they’ll stop at nothing to do it!”
Nightcrawlers- Wednesday- The Nightcrawlers might look like pushovers, but they’re used to being used as bait. Watch out they don’t hook you!
Nan0bots- Wednesday- “Proving that good things come in small packages, the Nanobots are programmed for victory. Will you help them execute the gold-medal download?”
As you have noticed on the Creators blog, the Creators made THREE posts today. Wow, they’re eager to show us the tribes. Two of today’s posts were about the Nightcrawlers and the Nanobots and one of them tells about an update on the Poptropica app!
Good news! Now, when you download the Poptropica Tips and Tricks app for your iOS or Android device, you can get the new Vampire’s Curse Island walkthrough absolutely FREE!
Whether or not you’ve already downloaded the app, you can nab the updated version from the iTunes App Store or the Android Market.
Then, visit the “Island Guides” menu and start your free download of the Vampire’s Curse Island walkthrough!
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
So the Vampire’s Curse guide is now free as well as the Game Show guide? Interesting.
We’ll have to wait and see what the other three tribes are…
Waitasec…I finally said “tribes” instead of “districts”! Yes!
I’m wondering… is there going to be a star district?
Choosing your tribe in Poptropolis Games is no small decision. You’ll fly your tribe’s colors both in the game, and on your personality profile. Here’s your first look at a few of the tribal logos.
Pretty nice, eh? That’s only half of them. There are still four more to be revealed!
Over the next several week we’ll be bringing you even more information about Poptropolis Games, including all of the tribal names and icons!
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
Those are pretty awesome looking. I wonder if you restart the island that you can change your tribe.
GTG dinner calling!
*turns into the incredible hulk (RAAAWWR!!) and crashes through the wall, and runs off*
Well, probably not. It’s hard for a flame to burn at the bottom of the ocean. But when the city of Poptropolis re-surfaces every 100 years, the ceremonial torch burns for as long as the competitive fires do!
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
Hey, I just realized something. How do the citizens of Poptropilis BREATH underwater? I mean, even I can hold my breath underwater for 2-3 minutes, but 100 years, might be a bit of a stretch.
Time for the next PCB post.
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
What, I’m not cool enough?
Well, I’ve had enough. Us creators can see who have friended us, even though you can’t see everyone who has friended you. But listen, I’ve been looking at the other creators’ pages. Binary Bard has 2,534 friends, Black Widow has 3,083 friends, and even that total NERD Ned Noodlehead has 1,874 friends. But me?
I have 19. NINETEEN!
What? You don’t like me? The eye-patch intimidating you? Still angry that I tried to rob and loot and steal from all those islands? That wasn’t personal or anything, you know!
Well, I quit. Bye!
It wasn’t nice not being your friend. :’-(
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
Oh well. CC gone. The one we used to love nomming so much.
*tries to hold back laughter*
Haha! I’m KIDDING! CC isn’t leaving. I faked that post.
I’ve been having a blast making new friends on Poptropica. I wanted to introduce you to a cool person I’m following
Tiny Crush has an awesome outfit, has never cheated on a test, and has completed 25 Poptropica Islands! (Not Vampire’s Curse, though — what’s up with that?)
It’s great to know Tiny Crush, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else he gets up to in Poptropica. Maybe you can meet Tiny Crush, or even the Poptropica Creators, by visiting the common rooms on Poptropica. No matter who is there, we guarantee you’ll be making some new friends!
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
Uh, yes. It is the real one. Some more info we can see about Tiny Crush is his favourite ice cream flavour is Cookies ‘n’ Cream (same as CC!), he does some sort of karate, he hasn’t been bitten by a dog, something about hair, his fav kind of ball is a soccer ball and something similar to Director D. Hmmm.
Anyway, I’d better hurry up and finish up this post. One more 100% genuine post from the PCB.
We have a few new things to share this week in the Poptropica Store. First, Poptropica Members can now get their exclusive Poptropolis Games gear!
These Member-only items include a snazzy Wrestling Singlet costume, a handheld Discus that you can throw around the screen, and the incredible Plant-a-Statue power, which lets you bring a little bit of the Poptropolis Games to any Island in Poptropica.
But that’s not all! There’s also a new costume in the store, available to everyone with Membership or credits.
Now, if somebody calls you a big baby, you can tell them they’re right, and throw a fit to prove it.
Enjoy!
BLACK WIDOW
Uhhhhh, what? Who agrees that these baby costumes are the worst ones in the store? All they do is cry and shake their rattles. Seriously people, don’t waste your credits on these costumes. However the members only items look pretty cool.
Cya people! *turns into Iron Man and flies away*
(BTW, I can’t wait to see the new Avengers movie!)
Whew! What a week it was at Poptropica. One day, we launched Poptropica Friends, and the next day, we opened up Twisted Thicket to everyone. Now, the weekend begins, and we plan to rest a bit — but we hope you’ll take the next few days to dive in and take advantage of all the great new stuff Poptropica has to offer!
So get out there — earn photos, make friends, and explore the tangled undergrowth of Twisted Thicket. And keep an eye out for all the other great stuff that’s coming soon to Poptropica, including Poptropolis Games!
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
But there’s one problem with that…
There’s that message that’s been appearing on all the profile pages.
Random Person: Aw, come on! I wanna see my pictures!
Well… the Creators were able to explain the phenomonon. (is that spelled right?)
Whoa! We hoped that everyone would like Poptropica Friends, but even we didn’t expect it to be thispopular. The demand for all the new Friends features has been so great that it’s overloaded our servers! As a result, we’ve temporarily had to turn off some of the features to address the load.Be assured, we’re working hard behind the scenes to bring everything back up to speed. We’ll post any updates right here.Thank you for your enthusiasm!
DIRECTOR D.
Enthusiasm indeed, Director D.
I had all those pictures… I think 15… but then I wanna see them again.
The Creators recently mentioned on their blog that the painting “The Scream,” which plays a big role on Counterfeit Island, sold for a record $120 million dollars! Gotta scream with joy at that.
There should be a lame joke about munching somewhere, but the Norwegian name is really pronounced “moonk.” Hehe.
On the subject of interesting art, did you know that this painting shown below, by Russian artist Malevich, sold for a million dollars?
Poptropica Friends is now out! If you want to add the PHB staff members (former and current!), here is the list! Will be updated in due time!
Shaggy: 101396
Green Boa: popcoconutty
Hijuyo: hi.juyo
Brave Tomato: 1313cookie
Super Thunder (our walkthrough writer who assists BT): 1234swees

UPDATE!!!!! (5/2/12)
Twisted Thicket has released for everyone!
Go get those photos/medallions for your profile! And if you get stuck, you have our Twisted Thicket resources at your disposal
~~~
Throughout this week, the Creators were posting about the features in Poptropica Friends and how they work! Here, I’ll be posting them one by one, forming somewhat of a guide to it, I guess So let’s get started with…
MEDALLIONS
One of the great things about Poptropica Friends is that you’ll be able to see what medallions your friends have earned, and they’ll be able to see the same for you. You’ll even be able to show off how many times you’ve beaten each Island, by using Island Restart.
See how this person has all the medals for all 26 islands? Well, ALL your friends will see how many medallions you have earned, and how many times you’ve beaten an Island with Poptropica Friends! So start adding to your medal count! This feature is coming soon!
RECENT ACTIVITY FEED
Presenting the Recent Activity feed! You’ll see this little box whenever you return to Poptropica, and it will show you the most up-to-date things your friends have been doing in Poptropica. You’ll see when your friend has earned a photo, beaten an Island, saved a new costume, or answered a Pop Quiz. You can click through to see their full profile, or just flip through the feed to see what everyone is up to.
See also how that box has the Pop Quiz right next to it? You can also answer the Pop Quiz from the homepage!
PHOTO ALBUM
One of the new features that will be coming with Poptropica Friends is the photo album. It’s like your own virtual scrapbook of your adventures through Poptropica!
By playing through Islands, you’ll occasionally see a message that says “New Photo Added” when you get to an important part of the story. Then, when you visit your photo album, you’ll see snapshots showing you a new perspective of your character’s feats. Every Island has about four different photos. There are over 100 in total!
Even better: every time you earn a new photo, the outfit you were wearing at the time is recorded in the picture. Even if you change clothes, you can costumize from your photos later!
Wait, there’s more! If you’re looking through a friend’s photo album, you can costumize off of them, too. It’s like the number of possible costumes just went to infinity!
The only thing that I don’t like about this, is that you have to replay Islands to get the photos you need for your album. So even if you completed all the Islands on your account(s), you will have to replay the Islands to get the photos. They will not be pre-added to the photo album. So according to the picture, you can choose which island’s photos to display, and whether to costumize them or not! So cool!
COSTUME CLOSETS
Another new feature with Poptropica Friends is the Costume Closet, which allows Members to store up to 30 unique costumes at a time. Not only that, but you can look through your friends’ closets and borrow their best costume ideas, as well.
There you have it! The days of putting together a spectacular costume and then having to get rid of it are almost over.
If you notice, they say “which allows Members”. Does that mean the closet is only available for Members, or will Non-members be able to use it too, but store less costumes? Hmm… But Poptropica friends looks interesting so far!!

Some ads and glitch videos that Loud Shark would like me to show you…
THE ROBOT GLITCH
AD: PIRATES! BAND OF MISFITS
~~~
So there you have it!! Your sneak peek into Poptropica Friends and your videos on glitches and the ad! Have a great end of April/beginning of May!
