One more day to get your Paper costume


Tomorrow is the last day of March. And that means...

Tomorrow is the last day for Poptropica Members to get the exclusive Paper Boy or Paper Girl costume and power! Getting this special, Members-only Gold Card is easy: all you need to do is log into Poptropica with your active Membership and visit any Island. The costume will automatically be delivered to your Store items inventory menu.

Happy papering!

Have you sneeked a peek lately?

Have you visited the Daily Pop lately? If not, you're missing out on special sneak peeks of what we're working on, which you won't find anywhere else.

Every day, you can see a new image of something we're working on. Sometimes it's a new Island, as in the picture above. Other times, you'll see early looks at new store items or costumes, or even behind-the-scenes sketches from the earliest days of Poptropica. Sneak Peeks is updated every weekday, so check back often!

Prank cans!

Introducing the new super colossal, high tech innovation from Poptropica Labs.

You and your friends will have hours of fun playing with:
Mixed Nuts, Peanut Brittle, Haam,

Wild West classic costumes


Poptropicans are loving the peacemaker and outlaw costumes that we released to the Poptropica Store a couple of weeks ago. Did you know there are some older costumes in the store that would fit right in on Wild West Island?

The cowboy and cowgirl costumes give you that classic western look, and at only 75 credits each, they're less expensive than the new costumes, too. Of course, for Poptropica Members, all costumes are free to wear.

Don't forget that you can mix and match pieces from different costumes to create your own unique style. Let's see what kinds of Wild West creations you can come up with!

Watercress salad?


BLECH!



Check out the Wimpy Wonderland trailer!

If you haven't had a chance to check out Wimpy Wonderland yet, this trailer might whet your appetite.



Remember that Wimpy Wonderland is open to everyone during Early Access, but only Members will get the Paper Boy or Paper Girl costume.

A Smashing good time

Time for another check of the ol' leaderboards in the Daily Pop games section. Here's a look at your current leaders in the brick-obliterating game "Smashing."

Not bad! As of this writing, the day's high score belongs to Incredible Boa, with a respectable 106,000 points. The high score for the week is property of Brave Eel, whose 511,500 points almost quintuple Incredible Boa's. But your leader for the month is...

Grumpy Lightning, with a staggering score of 1,199,000. Well done, Grumpy Lightning! 

While we're at it, let's see how your old pal Captain Crawfish is doing.

All right, not so great. It was a practice round. If I'd been playing for real, I'd have beaten Grumpy Lightning easily.

Grumpy Lightning's record will stand for another week before monthly scores reset next Friday, April 1, so if you want to beat him and see your name in lights for March, you'd better get cracking! Or smashing, as it were.

Low rider

I traded my pirate ship for a rumble bike.

Sweet ride, but it's hard to pedal when you've got a peg leg!

~The one in the picture is not me ( it's Captain Crawfish )~

Which side of the law are you on?

If you've been to the Poptropica Store lately, you might have noticed a couple of new Wild West themed costumes. Girls can get a Wild West Peacemaker or Wild West Outlaw, and boys can get a Wild West Lawman or Wild West Outlaw costume.



Are you a bandit or a marshal? Make your choice in the Poptropica Store!

That's a lot of Ws. Wild West, Wimpy Wonderland -- I'll take the letter W for the win!

There's no man like snow man

Ever get the feeling you're being watched?

I thought snowmen were supposed to have charcoal for eyes.

Slots of fun

It's better to burn out than to fade away.


Hey hey, my my -- rock and roll can never die. But the rock star costume will be gone from the Poptropica Store very soon.

As always, Poptropica Members can access all of the costumes in the store for free, and non-Members can buy the costume with credits. Either way, time is running out for you to get your hands on your own rocker outfit, before it heads to the great gig in the sky.

Rock on!

~
Woah! I want to see the new Rock Star outfit and I was thinking why they didn't just put both of the Rock Star outfits in the Poptropica store.

Poptropica Tips and Tricks: The Slap Jack fake-out

One of the games on Wild West Island is a version of the card game Slap Jack. It follows the standard rules: you and your opponents take turns dealing one card into the center pile. When somebody puts down a Jack, the first player to slap the pile wins the cards. You win when all of your opponents have run out of cards. Sounds pretty simple, right?


Well, it is, except for one thing: the fake-out.


When you're dealing a Jack from your pile, you can bluff. Slide the card only partway to the center of the table, then pull it back, and there's a chance one of your opponents might slap the pile anyway. If they do, you get a card from their draw pile.

But be careful! Your opponents will try to fake you out, too. The same rule applies: if you slap the pile before the Jack is placed, you'll lose a card to the player who tricked you.

Good luck out there. As with everything you'll do on Wild West Island, the stakes are high.

~
This game looks pretty hard to me. I wish i could play Wild West already that's because I am not a member in Poptropica. I hope it was open to everyone in Poptropica already.

Announcing the next Poptropica Island: Wimpy Wonderland!

You guessed right: the next Poptropica Island is set in the world of Diary of a Wimpy Kid! It's called "Wimpy Wonderland," and you can get all the details about it on our new Wimpy Wonderland info page.

Even better, you can log onto Poptropica right now for a sneak preview of Wimpy Wonderland. Just go to the map screen and fly your blimp to Wimpy Wonderland Island.


You'll see a few familiar characters on Main Street, including Greg Heffley.

We'll have more details on Wimpy Wonderland, including when it will be available, very soon.

~
This post is making me excited already! I am dying to see this island already because

1) I want to see all the new characters and

2) Because I want to solve the problem in this island

well thats about it.
