Halloween Updates

Halloween is right around the corner. Both Poptropica and AQ Worlds already have some cool Halloween stuff to do.

—

On Poptropica, they set up a little stall on Main Street. You can get Halloween costumes there.

There’s a witch costume, a mummy costume, a vampire costume and a pumpkin hat.

On AQ Worlds, they made a whole new area called Mystcroft. It’s a small village that only appears on ‘Mogloween’.

There’s a vampire queen who sells you rare items. To buy most of them though, you need to help the three witches – Bubble, Toil and Trouble – by completing their quests. There are also lots of new monsters, such as ghosts, man-eating pumpkins, and even a new boss monster – Blister. He has a chainsaw that – if you are lucky – he might drop after you defeat him. That’s not the only free item though; there is also pumpkin armour, a sword made out of vines and a pretty cool cape! (There are probably more, but I haven’t found them yet.) Here are a few pictures:

Mystcroft be here till November the 10th, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Also, Automattic (the company that owns WordPress) has bought the site ‘PollDaddy’. It’s an awesome site that makes polls. Loads of people use it, including PC World, RTÉ and Fox. Anyway, the guys over at Automattic made a new poll feature for WordPress. So I decided to make my own poll, just to see how it works.

That’s all for now!

New Lego Ad!

There’s a new advertisement on Poptropica! It’s one of the best so far.

There are two Lego mini-adventures to play. They’re pretty fun.

In the ‘Lego Agents’ one, you just have to dodge the lasers & steal Dr. Inferno’s laptop. Then you run away from the guards & jump in the getaway car (you need to collect a box of Lego to build it first, though). At the end you get a Lego Agents Costume.

In the ‘Lego Racers’ one, you have to run around collecting the Lego cars before the race starts. Then you get to build one. At the end you get a Lego Racers costume. Unlike the Race to the Bowl outfit, this one doesn’t make you go super fast.

But, sadly, like all other advertisement buildings they will disappear eventually. But since I now actually have some legos, my name doesn’t make sense. So, until my lego disappears, I will respond to comments under the name ‘Lego’. Not much of a change, but I thought it’d be fun.

Which reminds me, there are two new banners on the Poptropica home page for the two new islands.

Big Nate Island actually looks quite interesting. It’s a shame the actual comic strip is that bad.

In other news: For the first time ever, they actually posted about an advertisement on the Creator’s Blog. But the post will probably get deleted or something after the Lego Building disappears.

Don’t forget to visit the Poptropica Discussion Page, where you can talk about Poptropica with other fans!

That’s all for now!

Spy Island!

Yup, you read correctly, Spy Island is out! It’s an awesome island. Very tricky.

There are loads of cool new items, like the Chameleon Suit, or the Grappling Bowtie.

Your mission is to free the three top spies who have been captured. Remember to look for other spies who give you clues on what to do next, or even secret messages!

Once you complete this island you become the new director of the spies!

Remember, if you want to discuss Poptropica with other fans, please use the Poptropica Discussion Page, not this post.
Also, many thanks to Jake for taking the time to write a guide for Spy Island. (It’s comment number 458 on the Discussion Page.)

That’s all for now!

Megapost #2

Ok, I haven’t updated about Poptropica in a while, so there are quite a lot of things to cover. I don’t wanna write about all of them, so here’s a list:

1. 24 Carrot finally comes out.
2. The Race to the Bowl starts. If you win you got a costume that lets you run really fast & a trophy. You can also get Team Apple & CinnaMon shirts.
3. The Costumizer tool comes out. Now you can copy any item from NPCs! (Apart from handheld items.) This then replaces the old ‘Friends’ button at the top of the screen.
4. The Race to the Bowl ends. Team CinnaMon won.
5. Super Power Island comes out.
6. Nim’s Island Activity Centres appear all over Poptropica. You can get two costumes in there. One looks like Indiana Jones.
7. ‘Don’t just go Back, Arrive’ videos spring up all over the place. It seems to be an advertisement for new ‘Back to school’ clothes. Weird.
8. The Arrive Lounge appears & replaces most of the Nim’s Island Activity Centres. It has loads of new outfits inside. You can also take some pictures of your character. Here are some (no prizes for guessing which one is me):

Some other little un-important things that happened:

• When 24 Carrot came out, the Race to the Bowl was leaked. It was removed though, & then re-added a few days afterwards.
• A bonus item came out after Super Power was released. It was a chalice you held in your hand. It was hidden on top of a shark statue at Booga Bay on Shark Tooth. It was changed a few days afterwards to black sunglasses for some reason. All chalices disappeared. You can find the sunglasses on top of the big building on Time Tangled (not Party Time Tower, the other one behind the lab).
• Just a few days ago, a guy appeared outside all remaining Nim’s Island Activity Centres, dressed in the Indiana Jones clothes. He tells you to go inside to learn more about Nim’s Island.
• The ‘Don’t Just Go Back, Arrive’ videos have disappeared… but the Lounge is still there.

Ok. That’s all. I might add more pictures later… or not.

Oh, and by the way, I’m making another megapost about what happened on Poptropica since my last post about it. I’ll publish it when it’s ready.

That’s all for now!
