Tribal Common Rooms

The Creators have just released this new feature called Tribal Common Rooms so you can now hang out with people from your tribe from Poptropolis Games! Just so you know, Lightning Girl aka Creepy Hammer is in Pathfinders. Just saying. So let's hear what Black Widow has to say about this new feature:

Introducing tribal common rooms!

So you joined a Tribe, and it's awesome. You know in your heart of hearts that your Tribe rules, and the other Tribes drool. But what else can you really do with your Tribe?

Now, you can enter your super-secret, ultra-awesome tribal common room!

Just go to your personality profile page and click on your tribal logo. You'll see a new pop-up with a button that says "Join Room."

That brings you to an all-new common room that's bigger and better than the ones you usually find on Main Street, and which is only open to the members of your Tribe! You'll be able to meet and befriend new tribal pals right away.

Not only that, but each of these new tribal rooms has a bunch of hidden interactive elements. Can you find them?

Visit Poptropica now to check out your new digs!

BTW everyone... I've noticed a few other changes. There is now a tab for multiverse and tribal rooms under friends. The creators haven't told us about this one on the blog, so it might change. ALSO, once you go into your tribal common room, when you exit, you're in the exact same place you left from. Convenient, huh? There's special features too so try to find them.

Annoucing the next Poptropica Island!

Just in time for, uh, Christmas, prepare for the spookiest Poptropica Island yet! Announcing...

Zomberry Island!

One by one, the citizens of Eastman are mutating into something horrible. Now, the city is quarantined, the survivors are trapped, and ghouls prowl the streets. No one knows how the zombie outbreak began... but how it ends is up to you!

Zomberry Island is coming soon to Poptropica. We'll  have a lot more information soon!

New Stuff

You now have easy access to all of the costumes and walkthroughs on a new tab on the blog, sorted under the islands. You will still see the most recent walkthroughs, posts, and more on the home page, but if you are looking for something specific, go to the Costumes and Walkthroughs page. There will be many more changes to this blog coming soon! I'll give you a hint if you can decode it:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! And thanks to the Poptropica Creators for the photo below. In their recent blog post you'll see that they are thankful for several things too:

Wednesday, November 21, 2012

Giving thanks!

It's Thanksgiving weekend, and before the Poptropica Creators pack it in for a long weekend of food and fun, we wanted to take a minute to tell the world what we're thankful for. It's a long list. We're thankful for:

And much more. But most of all, we're thankful for YOU!

Poptropica would be nothing without the millions of Poptropicans who log on every month. It would just be a bunch of sad islands full of woebegone characters with nobody to solve their problems, and thousands of clothing items never to be costumized. So thank you for playing Poptropica, and for giving us the chance to create it for you!

Of course, I'm thankful for a lot of things too. So...

Closet!

For a limited time only, non-members can save up to 30 looks to their closet! This is very useful because you can customize from these at any time and customize from your friend's closets. When you are customizing something, just click "Save look to closet" on the top right and it saves! Do this quick because it ends December 22. Remember, friend lightninggirl20 to access all of the costumes from her closet - which are basically all of the costumes posted on here. For more good costumes, friend abcdgr8 and boys can friend np016 and cooker34.

Super Villain Island Walkthrough

COSTUME: http://poptropicarticles.blogspot.com/2012/10/super-villain.html

Getting to the Jail
1. Climb up the scaffolding to the top building where it says CONTROL ROOM. Enter and go right.
2. Talk to the person and then exit. There is a helicopter waiting for you.
3. When landing, whenever you see a cloud flash, quickly move out of the way before your parachute gets hit by lightning. Try to get hit less than 4 times.
4. Swim right and climb up the rocks. When you see the rock by the security camera, jump and the doors will open. Enter.
5. Go right and talk to the security guard. You will pass the security scans. 
6. Enter the guard room, then take the elevator by pressing the up button and entering. You pass various evil characters from Poptropica islands. When you land, go down and talk to the guy with glasses and white beard.  (this is where you get the lab coat for your costume)

Getting Black Widow's Totem
1. Enter Captain Crawfish's dream. You have to avoid touching the sleeping pirates, or you start over. Jump onto the swinging chandelier. Jump left and pick up the ORANGE KEY. 
2. Jump down and go left. Climb down, avoiding the swinging anchor. Go right and click on the orange chest. You pick up the stopwatch. You will not lose this if you have to restart now. Now go slightly right and jump up and pick up the GREEN KEY. Climb back up.
3. Now climb to the green chest and click on it. You pick up grog-band turpentine. 

4. Click "wake up". Now go into Dr. Hare's dream.
5. You see Dr. Hare being carried away by red ants. Use your pickaxe, clicking on each block several times before it disappears. Keep on climbing down, avoiding the red ants. If you are near a red ant, quickly click on it to kill it.
6. Keep on mining downwards. The blue ants automatically break the blocks on their own, so you will have several encounters with them. Keep on going down, until you hit a line of all metal, which you can't mine through. Go left and pick up the empty sprayer. Wake up!

7. Finally go into Black Widow's dream. She has destroyed a whole bunch of paintings. Talk to her, then put the turpentine into the sprayer. She gets very upset, and sends down spiders, which knock you down. Quickly click on the first painting, the Picasso.
8. Avoid the spiders and spray several times on all of the red letters to make them go away. Once you've gotten all of them, the spiders slowly go away. Now go to the upper left of the painting and pick up the shrinking potion. Then exit at the upper right of the painting.
9. The next painting you want to jump into is the Van Gogh. Same as before, use the sprayer to get rid of the paint. This time, when you're done, grab the crystal key from the upper right of the painting. The exit is one of the upper left yellow stars, which you have to climb to.
10. Now enter the 3rd painting, the Monet. Again, spray the paint. There's nothing you have to get this time, so just exit through one of the larger purple flowers in the upper right.
11. When you come out, the Black Widow is REALLY MAD. She chases you around and tries to knock you down. Avoid the spiders and her and get to the self-portrait of her. spray it until it drips away, and so does the Black Widow. Pick up the paintbrush totem. 3 more to go!

Getting Binary Bard's Totem
1. Enter Binary Bard's dream. The door on the right opens and closes so you can't get through. Luckily, you picked up the stopwatch, which freezes time! Equip it and press SPACE when the door is open. You can run through, as well as Mordred.
2. When you go through the next door, an owl chases you. Quickly get through the next door and close it behind you so he can't follow you.
3. Now there is a mechanical mouse. Freeze it so it is near the small block, where it is coming out of its hole. Jump on top of it, then over the block. Enter the next room.
4. Now there are plants spinning around - one flat side and one spiky. Freeze time when it is flat-side up, and jump on, and over. You need to move right, up, and left. Then you get to 3 spiky plants in a row. Now you need to time it so at least 2 of them are facing up, and you can jump to the next platform. 
5. Keep on moving left, and you pick up the diamond drill. Go slightly more left, then up, where there is a giant crystal vault door. Use the crystal key to open it. 
6. It turns out Mordred is Binary Bard! Dodge the red razors he throws at you. There are bolts of electricity coming from 3, 6, 9, and 12 on the clock, so freeze time when it is coming at any of those. Do this a few times and Binary Bard disappears, dropping his totem. Pick it up and you automatically exit the dream. 

Getting Dr. Hare's Totem
1. Equip your diamond drill, which you'll be needing later. The same as before, work your way down, avoiding the ants. The diamond drill can go through metal, so keep on going.
2. When you get to the bottom middle, you see Dr Hare tied up with red ants flying around. These ones can't hurt you, so go down. Make sure you land on the few blocks in the middle, or you have to restart. 
3. Click away the few blocks and you got Dr Hare's totem. One more to go!

Getting Captain Crawfish's Totem
1. Same as before, avoid the sleeping pirates. This time you want to climb right and up, where there is a tiny ship in a bottle.
2. Use your shrinking potion and you automatically jump into the bottle. Now you want to break the glass.
3. Still avoiding the pirates, jump right and up, where there is a pirate moving back and forth. When he is far left, click the wooden board and it locks him in.
4. Do the same for the pirate above him, then climb down, below the main level you started on. To the right there is a cannon. Making sure the other pirates you didn't lock in are out of the way, shoot the cannon. It breaks the glass and you have gotten your last totem.

At the Lab
1. Guess what - you just gave Zeus the 4 most powerful sources of evil in all of Poptropica! Oops. Now you have to defeat him again. Sound familiar? All 4 villains swim away, and you see reports of all the islands in disaster. Wait a bit, and Poseidon gives you his trident to defeat Zeus.
2. Same as in Mythology Island, you have pink clouds as your energy source. The first thing you want to do is shoot at all 4 totems until they drop, avoiding Zeus and collecting pink clouds when necessary. Once you've gotten all of them, follow Zeus everywhere, firing relentlessly. If you shoot constantly, he has no way to shoot back.
3. Now he decides to take control of the statue. Shoot at the eyes, until they turn whiter and whiter, avoiding the falling objects from the sky. Finally, Zeus gives up, and he is put in the dream machine. For all your help, one of the guards gives you your ISLAND MEDALLION! 
To get back, exit the way you came. You don't have to go through security 'cuz you already did, so just run past it and exit. Use your walkie talkie to call the helicopter guy, and he brings you back to the construction area, where you can get to the blimp.

French in Poptropica

I did this cute Poptropican drawing with the French body parts labeled... Looks pretty real!


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

This island just came out today for members, and will be coming out in December for non-members. However, you can still do the demo and get together your costume... This is a pretty cold island, but gets hot when you get inside the factory. You want to be like the other participants and be a little dressy, but not too much.

 


There are quite a few options, plus much more I'm not showing. I suggest jacket for the first part of the island, and you can take the jacket off when it gets warmer inside the factory. For girls, this means you can wear a dress. 

Girl version:
  • For the dress, go to http://www.dinkypage.com/poptropads2/ and click on Lemonade Mouth (once you're logged into Poptropica on a separate tab) Either copy the girl in the pink dress or climb up and copy the girl in the blue dress.
  • Any cute bangs with earrings and wavy hair (you can find almost anywhere)
  • V2. Go to Shrink Ray island and go right. Copy the girl. You can also use boy version.
  • V3. Copy everything from the Vampire 1 girl costume then use regular hair.
  • V4. Copy the huge puffy coat - either blue or tan - from the 2 women standing outside the factory
Boy version:
  • Go to the link above. Once you're logged in, click on Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Copy his gray t-shirt and green jacket. You can wear long black or blue pants. In this case, I used Jack's messy hair from Red Dragon, but you can use any hair.
  • V2: Go to the link above, except go to ParaNorman. Copy the jacket. You can wear dark long pants and whatever shirt you want under it, as long as it goes with it. Classic mouth and hair. GIRLS, YOU CAN USE THESE TOO! 
  • V3: Copy the huge puffy coat from the man standing outside the factory, who also chases Charlie when he gets the golden ticket.
Want to do the demo? Easy!

1. Talk to Charlie, who says he wants chocolate. He leaves.
2. Go left and click on the 1st telephone booth. You get a coin. 
3. You see Charlie leave his house. Follow him and go to the shop.
4. Give Charlie the coin, and he buys a chocolate bar. He is too nervous to open it, so use the mouse to peel down the wrapper for him.
5. Push the people so Charlie can get out the door, then do the mini-game, to help Charlie avoid the mob of people. Click on the boxes to slow them down.
6. You see a 6th golden ticket come out of the factory. Chase and follow it left, climbing up the buildings.
7. You arrive just in time. Enter the factory doors. Talk to the people and wait, until Willy Wonka comes out. You can customize them if you want.
8. He talks to each person. As soon as you go in, everyone goes crazy. Willy Wonka asks you to get his cane for him.
9. Go left and pick up the cane. When you go right, everyone is gone.
END OF THE DEMO! Full walkthrough coming soon.

Katniss!

Katniss from  The Hunger Games is a very popular look and very easy to get.



The first look is Katniss in her reaping outfit, and the 2nd is her as a hunter. 

HAIR AND SKIN - If you haven't already, make your hair dark brown and skin pale. You can use Ctrl+Shift+H and Ctrl+Shift+S or go left on Early Poptropica and click on the balloon you want your skin to be. Then go to 24 Carrot and go into the Carrot King Diner and drink the color you want your hair to be.

BRAID - Get any braid. You can find it from random people on Early Poptropica, randomize yourself, or get a braid from Surfer in the store. There is also a girl wearing a nice braid on Mythology next to Aphrodite. If you've already done Mythology, just use the touchscreen mirror to get to Aphrodite, then go right.

BANGS - You can use any bangs you want, like bang-over-the-eye from Prom Queen or a slightly wavy bang, like I used.

DRESS - This is Katniss' reaping dress. First, log on to Poptropica. Go to http://www.dinkypage.com/poptropads2/ and click on Lemonade Mouth. Climb up and copy the blue dress from the girl there.

LIPS - Use any lips you want that look good. Generally, Katniss isn't a smily-type of person.

BOW AND ARROW - Get from Robin Hood in the store (get the bow and sheath of arrows)

JACKET AND SHIRT - Go to Red Dragon Island and copy the long jacket from the guy left in front of the bookstore. Go to mythology and copy the green shirt from the girl inside Herc's Hero Hut - you can use another color if you want. Get long dark blue or black pants and use the belt that comes with a knife from the Robin Hood costume.

Ta-da! You're Katniss!

Special Effects on Poptropica!

When you're in a common room, you'll want to stand out - not just with an awesome costume that everyone copies. One thing you can do is buy the VANISH gold card to give you a slight glow. Now, there are some other things you can do that are free.

- Complete Mythology island. When you are in a common room, open up to your items from Mythology. Put on Hades' crown and press space. You will grow! Now change your hair back to normal and you are still big. It's fun to walk around with big steps and be WAY taller than everyone else :-) It goes away when you exit though, so you have to put it on whenever you go in a common room, which is the nice thing about using VANISH, which lasts all the time.
- If you don't want to buy VANISH, another thing you can do to make yourself kind of electric is put on Poseidon's Trident. Sorry, you can't use the one you get from Super Villain! Press space and you will sparkle with electricity, then take it off, and you are still sparkling. Do it a few times to make sure it stays. 

It's fun to stand out! 
In case you were wondering about the outfit...
- Pleated white skirt you can find almost anywhere
- Shirt-over-the-shoulder from the girl on Mythology
- Earrings and wavy hair from the girl RIGHT on Avenue A on Shrink Ray
- Classic Biker lips
- A cute necklace that matches the earrings I found in a common room
