The New Poptropica Map
By Poptropica's creator:
For some time now, Poptropica has had a problem. A good problem, but a problem nonetheless. The problem: too many Islands! Vampire's Curse Island will be our 25th Island, if you can believe it. And our map was starting to look really cluttered.
First, we thought we would just have to erase some Islands. Flush 'em right down the drain. But as our fingers were hovering over the "delete" button, somebody had an idea: why not make a new map? We all agreed that was a much better solution.
Now, when you log onto Poptropica for the first time, or return to your blimp from Main Street of any Island, you'll see this new and improved map screen!
It has a few advantages over the old one. The Island icons no longer move, so it's easier to read their names. The newest Islands are at the very beginning, so you'll won't have far to look for the latest and greatest adventure. And we've split up the map into different pages, which makes it easier for you to sort through them.
Oh, and most important of all: the birds chase your blimp.
We hope you enjoy the new map, and that it helps makes your visit to Poptropica even more fun than before.
Poptropica review from March 3-9
Last week is the release of Vampire's Curse island in Poptropica!It’s been another busy week for Poptropica fans everywhere, kicked off with last week’s release of Vampire’s Curse Island. Members can play the full island right now and non-members can access a limited demo. It’s a scary and spooky island quest to play, but also lots of fun. Paid members also get a nice bonus quest at the end.
The Poptropica Creators also showed off a tiny picture of a little flying creature that will be part of the next Poptropica Island. The filename is dryad.gif, so we know the island will have something to do with faeries, dryads and other woodland creatures. This is backed up by a large number of screenshots showing up in the sneak peek section of Daily Pop, all featuring a tiny woodland scene, complete with toadstools, trees and more. It also appears it will have a scandinavian theme. A lot of the signs seem to have either Norwegian or Swedish (I can’t tell which!) words and names. One of the stores that will appear on Main Street is called Björn’s Smörgåsbord. Another screenshot shows a sign in the woods that warns, Beware of the Nøkken.
The Nøkken is a dangerous and manipulative creature from Norwegian folklore. He lives in the rivers and waters and can appear as either a beautiful maiden or a handsome young man with a fiddle. He would lure unsuspecting people close to the water and then capture them. A Smörgåsbord is a traditional Scandinavian feast served buffet style with lots of different dishes.
Beyond those clues and the sneak peeks in Daily Pop, we don’t know much more (yet) about the new island. But I think we’ll hear more very soon!
