PoptropicaQA: Poptropica Friends

(Host): Welcome to the debut of...POPTROPICAQA!
Here on PoptropicaQA, we have two contestants, and contestant A must try to stump contestant B with a question.  If successful, and contestant B cannot begin to answer within 10 seconds, contestant A wins!  If not, contestant B then tries to stump contestant A with a question.  If contestant A answers the question correctly within the given time, then contestant A becomes the winner!  Otherwise, I shall give both contestants a tie breaker question, and whichever contestant answer correctly first wins.  If at any point a contestant answers most of a question correctly but cannot answer it completely, then the opposing contestant will have to answer the missed part correctly in order for the contestant to be eliminated.
For our contestants today, please welcome...Speedy Wing!  Please welcome also...Cpt. Busy Seagull!

*Applause*

Our category today is: Poptropica Friends feature, and Busy Seagull will be starting with the first question.  Are you ready?
(Busy Seagull): I'm ready.
(Speedy Wing): Bring it on!
(Host): One...two...three!  BEGIN!

(Busy Seagull): What funtions will each button on a player's profile have?
(Speedy Wing): Oh, that's an easy one.  Look at the video the Poptropica creators provided, go to the 28 second mark, and pause it.  The first button is for island medallions.  The second is for what country the player lives in, as well as the particular region in that country, such as a state, where the player lives.  You can tell that because in the video, it shows an American flag with AK written in a little white box in the lower right corner.  AK stands for a state or region: Arkansas. The third is for photos, the fourth is for a costume closet, the fifth...I'm not sure..., the sixth is for checking on your friends, the seventh is for battle rankings, and the eighth is for membership.  If you look at the profile at other times in the video, these are the only buttons that remain constant.  Thus, they are the only default buttons.  The other buttons, as the video says at  26-29 seconds in, are created when you answer questions in another profile feature: the personality questionaire, which I am totally excited about!
(Host): You said you weren't sure what the fifth button is.  Cpt. Seagull, do you know?
(Busy Seagull): ...I can't say I do.
(Host): Congratulations Speedy Wing on moving on to the next round!  It is now your turn to ask a question.

(Speedy Wing): Will all Poptropicans have access to the closet?
(Busy Seagull): Yes!  The size of the closet, however, is a little different between members and non-members.  Members will have access to a closet that fits 30 different costumes.  On the other hand, non-members will not receive as large a closet, although the Poptropica creators have not mentioned how large their closet will be.  Also, Poptropicans will be able to share costumes from their closets.
(Host): Congratulations Busy Seagull on moving on to the final round!  I shall now ask the tie breaker question.  Whoever answers it first will become the winnner!

Q: Where will you now be able to access multiverse?
(Speedy Wing): Multiverse will be accessible through it's own page via a button that is in the upper left corner of the friends feature page.  It and the friends feature are both tied in together, but a player can switch between views with that link.

(Host): Congratulations, Speedy Wing, you are the first ever winner of PoptropicaQA!  Thank you to both of our contestants, please come again for the next show of PoptropicaQA!

Twisted Thicket and the Truth-o-Meter

This is surely not a surprise to every Poptropica Fan. Twisted Thicket will be available for members on April 12 and non-members May 2nd.

I am super excited for this island because there is going to be mystery and magic! What can be better? What scares me is, since the trees are twisted, does that mean the truth is too? I hope not because if so, it's going to be hard to solve this mystery. Either way, I- Speedy Wing- will solve the mystery and detect the truth with the lies! I wonder if it's a good time to... bring out the Truth-o-Meter!

Introducing, the top of the line Truth-o-Meter. It's even voice activated! Alright, just a quick test... My name is Bob.
Truth-o-Meter: Pants on Fire.
Okay... How about this... I have a pet panda.
Truth-o-Meter: Mostly True.
This thing is good! I'm totally going to be able to tell who's lying on Twisted Thicket island!
Truth-o-Meter: False.
Who asked for your opinion? Now that I think about it, this thing is way too big for me to carry around if I'm ever being chased by some strange creature.
Truth-o-Meter: Very True.
Be quiet. Hmm... this could really be a short cut for me to solving the mystery but... I don't want to die. Maybe I should-
Truth-o-Meter: False.
I didn't even say anything!
Truth-o-Meter: True.
I'm turning this off. Where's the off button on this thing?
Truth-o-Meter: False.
Okay! That's enough. *grabs hammer*

Please Stand By...

Sorry about that. The only way to turn it off was to... um, destroy it. So much for knowing who's telling the truth. I guess I'll just have to use my knowledge and skill. Well, see you around Poptropicans!

~Speedy Wing~

P.S. No Truth-o-Meters or Hammers were harmed in the making of this post. Please enjoy the Twisted Thicket!

Introducing... Poptropica Friends?!

I'm so excited for this new feature! Check it out!

Announcing Poptropica Friends!

We're thrilled to announce a new feature that's coming soon to Poptropica: Friends!

Soon you'll be able to make friends with the people you meet in Poptropica! You can follow their adventures in the game, and show off your own accomplishments. You'll create a unique personality profile to share with the world. When you play through Islands, you'll earn photos that mark your achievements in the game.

Members will have access to a costume closet that lets you store as many as 30 individual costumes! You'll find all this and more with Poptropica friends. Keep an eye out here for more information, including when you can start using these new features!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

This is what I have been waiting for! Awhile back, I have posted about what I think the new upgrade was going to be. Click here to see my predictions. It turns out that many of my predictions were correct. I didn't really mention the buddies list very much but now, we know it's true and I'm glad for that!

What do you think of this new feature? Comment below to tell me what you think!

~Speedy Wing~

Vampires are invading Poptropica!!!

Everyone... run for your lives!!! Poptropica is... Oh, um... hi! Sorry, I just came back from a very long trip- or should I say vacation from my hideout. So sorry for not coming back but now, here I am!

Well, that was relaxing but now I found out... Poptropica is cursed with vampires?! How in Poptropica did this happen?! Oh sure they are cool but first of all, blood. YUCK. What has become of Poptropica? I mean, first the ghosts were kinda scary but now, werewolves and vampires? Luckily, the hideout is located in Mythology and not those places- for now anyways...

Seems like this is the new island to look forward to. Seems like Vampires are a huge trend right now and Poptropica just had to follow. Oh well! I can't wait... well maybe I can wait, for this island. This is going to be interesting... I just hope it doesn't follow with the popular Twilight saga. (I'm sorry but I dispise the movies and books.)

Well, hopefully I don't get bitten before the island releases!
~Speedy Wing~

Upgrade on Poptropica?

Lookie....

Under construction

We're plugging away on a cool new feature for Poptropica that we will have ready for you soon. Here's another quick look.

Can you guess what it might be? We'll have all the details soon!


CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

If you look really closely, you can tell that the "friends" button has now CHANGED to your character. What I'm guessing is, that one, we finally can add other Poptropicans as friends or two... we have a lot more new features!! I checked out previous sneak peeks from the Daily Pop.

It seems like we are going to have new "icons" to replace the friends. The first "icon" would probably be were all your medallions go. Second, it looks like the Japanese Flag. I don't know what that is. "Photos..." Wait, PHOTOS?! That icon for photos looks familiar! It was posted in the sneak peeks many months ago. (I believe when Red Dragon Island was released.) Maybe on our adventures in Poptropica, each island will have different pictures. That would be awesome to keep those memories.

Closet.... Hmmm....

It looks like we are going to have more than one place for our costumes now! This is great because as a fashionista, I need more space to save costumes. This is perfect for hosting cosutme parties too! Looks like you can save a lot of costumes too... that's awesome.

The boxing gloves icon? Definitely common room battles! Golden star? That usually means Membership. Maybe what benefits? I don't know. Reality TV icon? *gasp* Yes! They changed it back! As you know, before the "restart islands button," you could play Reality TV again and again and get streaks. Many of my friends played Reality TV over and over when they were bored but once restart button came, they lost all progress! (I think one even got over 100 times!) I guess changing the streaks was a bad idea.

Ninja time! I think that one is a wallpaper icon. Poptropica is making wallpaper for your PC and that's what I'm guessing the icon is for. The last 3, I seriously don't know yet. If you are experiencing glitches, I hope you know why now. Also, if you don't see "Costume Costumizer" in the store, don't worry because closets will be coming soon!

So, tell me what you think. Do you think you'll like this new "icon" upgrade? What do you think you'll enjoy most? Any suggestions on what's not right here?

See you around the hideout!
~Speedy Wing~

S.O.S. Island

All aboard!

Oh hey! I'm just leaving the hideout for a moment to go on a cruise and whale watching. Hopefully, nothing happens but knowing me, trouble is always around the corner. Well, this upcoming island is "S.O.S" so I'm guessing trouble will strike. Oh well! I'll be here to save the day.

When a whale-watching expedition strikes an iceberg, a pleasure cruise becomes a disaster scene. As the ship sinks deeper and deeper into the frigid waters of the North Atlantic, can you rescue everyone on board before it's too late?

I don't remember reading that in the brochure!!! Get me off of this ship!

Sorry Ma'am. The ship has already took off. You'll love the watching the whales though.

This ship is going to sink though! *starts throwing fit and everyone starts staring*

Ma'am, everything is going to be okay. We've done this before.

Gulp.... Just hope I survive....

~Speedy Wing~

Ghost Story Island!

Hi everyone! I'm back! A good friend of mine got me off the island. Well, Ghost Story Island is not out for members! It's time to hunt those ghosts!

Boo!

Shiny Sun! What are you doing here?! I thought you were a ghost for a second.

Uh, you're always working on our homework so I wanted to go on.....

One, I was stranded on an island Just don't scare me like that!

I think that your just scared of ghosts.

I am not. I can hunt them down! They don't scare me... Okay, maybe a little. Anyways, if you haven't seen the trailer, here is it!

Spooky right??

Well, nice of you to drop by! I'll see you back in Mythology! Bye! *pushes Shiny Sun out of hideout*

Hey!! *gets dragged out*

Phew. Took care of her. Don't worry, she won't be too far... Well, earlier this month, the new Poptropica app was released. I have not downloaded it on my iPod Touch yet. It's supposed to keep you in touch of what's new in Poptropica and some guides. (They cost $0.99 per island guide.) There's a contest for those 13 and up. Take a look!

The Legend is Here!!

The Legend is out! I've been waiting for this ever since Red Dragon Island sneak peeks were out!!

Friday, November 11, 2011

The Legend is here!

Legendary Swords has arrived! Visit the Poptropica Store and look for this Gold Card:

Then go to the "store items" section of your inventory to start playing.

Legendary Swords is an action-adventure unlike any you've ever seen before on Poptropica. In addition to the powerful swords you will find on your quest, you can also use any sword from the Poptropica Store to help you defeat E. Vile's robot army!

Visit Poptropica now to start playing Legendary Swords!


CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Okay! Got to go! Have to defeat E. Vile robots right now! I'LL BE COUNTING ON YOU!
~Lady Wing

P.S. Here's a video created by the creatos that may help you with the swords! Good luck!

It's a g...g...GHOST!!

What's that eerie noise? Is it a ghost? *Random kid in ghost costume appears* ....Awkward.

Anyways, did you hear the news?! The next island being released is Ghost Story Island! You have to find the "ghost" haunting the island.... sounds kinda like a late Halloween Island but good enough. So, look forward to that!! Legendary Swords is out really soon! Can't wait for it! Sorry for the short notice but just wanted to give a heads up.

~Speedy Wing

Game Show Island!

Game Show Island is now out for everyon- I mean members. Whoops. Got too excited again. Anyways, it's out now! Time for some robot defeating! Well, in other news, Legendary Swords, a new mini-game, will be released on 11/11/11! I think this is a great date for it! So, get your credits saved up or with membership, you won't have to worry about it! Keep you posted!

~Speedy Wing~

All aboard!

Mystery Train is out this Friday!! (Hurray!) I bet all of you non-members (like yours truely) can't wait to get that old magnify glass out of that closet! It's going to be time to solve the mystery!

I can't wait so to keep my anticipation down, I'm going to go to D.C. Diner and work there again... for the last time before I quit. Alright, well, I'm gonna get going! It's almost time to see Thomas Edison once again and make fun of him! I really don't know what's up with me bullying him. I'll get over it later.

~Speedy Wing~

It's time to climb!

Money Ladder is here!! The game is pretty basic. Just answer the questions right each time and get to the top of the ladder. It's really similar to the real gameshow: Who wants to be a Millionare?

There are many categories. (My favorite is movie based or music ones!) You have to know about many different types of things but if you don't know, here's a hint. Remember the question and choose a random answer. Then open a new page and search the answer. Then select no and choose the correct answer. They do lots of Disney movies, popular movies, and popular music. Some of the questions are also based on sports and also knowledge. If you want more help, click this link to get help from me (Petpet123) and my friends!!

I had lots of fun going on the gameshow and I can't wait for the actually island! I think it's kinda rare to see 2 mini-games on at the same time. I guess this will keep us entertained then!

Climbing the ladder was kinda tricky at first but after 4 tries, I finally got it! I'm afraid of heights so... that was kinda hard. I guess I never figured how high it was until the top. I guess I was focusing on the questions too much.....

You can see more pictures by clicking "see more" or scrolling to the bottom of the page. Well, happy climbing!!

~Speedy Wing~

Yeah! I won!!

Interesting glitch..........

Game Show Island

Remember all those sneek peeks of the robots and game shows? Well, the new island is going to be called Game Show Island!!

Click here to see Poptropica Creator's post about Game Show Island.
It seems like it's going to be a 'legend.' So all my predictions about robots taking over a game show was some-what right. Here's the description of the island.

Welcome to a future where robots rule. Building computers to compete on TV game shows seemed like a funny idea - until the machines wanted more. Now, after years of robotic dominance, Poptropica needs a savior. Are you clever enough to beat the robots at their own games, and restore the dignity of all Poptropicans?

Who knew that robots would be the ones taking over Poptropica?? I wonder who Mr. Yoshi and what E.Vile has to do with this.

There's also a new trailer/tour of Poptropica! Take a look:

Poptropica App, Coming Soon!!

It seems like everyone is making apps for iPhone, iPad, etc. now. Fantage just recently made one about their game "Bullseye." (Which I have.) Club Penguin just released Puffle Launch today. I guess this is a way to keep everything at your fingertips. Apperently, Poptropica decided to create one too!!

Hmm..... Looks like an app for Poptropica Creator's Blog. I guess this way, you can be updated on things that are going on even if you aren't on a computer!! I think this is a great thing to do but I wish they did a game. It would be nice to play maybe sudoku or just a common room game on the iPhone, iPad, etc. Well, more info will be coming so keep checking on the Poptropica Creators Blog!

I can't wait to download it on my iPod Touch!!

~Speedy Wing~

Game Show Island??

Okay, I was looking around on the sneek peeks to find out more about the new island and look at this!

Neat right?? It looks really similar to a game show "Who wants to be a Millionaire." Remember my old game show theory?? I have a whole new one now!! Okay, this is how it goes.

On 'Robot Island' you arrive and everyone is talking about a huge game show that happenes every week. Mr. Yoshi is the amazing creator or host of the game shows. Every week, they have a new game and they pick random contestants to go to the show. (Sounds a bit like Reality TV right??) Well, the robots are created by Mr. Yoshi and sometimes they go as 'challenges' for the contestants. On TV, it seems like the contestants are okay but they really aren't. You get invited to the game show and you go there. You play a game and while they are shooting for TV, you win but when they go for a commercial break, robots attack you and you knock out. When you wake-up, you see lots of people from other shows and notice that they have E.Vile Inc. on the shirts. That's when you start to notice that Mr. Yoshi is going to take over the world. You have to find legendary swords to destroy different types of robots.

How do you like it?? Is it better than my first one?
