Twisted Thicket Island Is Finally Here!!!

4/14/2012 11:27:00 AM No comments

The 26th island in Poptropica has now arrived and it’s called Twisted Thicket. As we guessed from all the sneak peeks shown over the past few weeks, the island takes place in an enchanted forest. The official trailer reveals several mystical creatures and a Scandinavian setting. Most of the adventure takes place deep in the woods, surrounded by creatures of fable and mystery.

The island became available to paid members on Thursday, April 12. Non-members will be able to play it on May 2.

Here are all three parts of the walkthrough video. Parts 1 and 2 are for the main quest and part 3 is for the members-only bonus quest.

Twisted Thicket Island Description

The official description from the Poptropica Island Info Page is:

A quiet seaside village has been attacked by mysterious beings that dwell nearby. You are chosen to enter the dark woods and confront the creatures. But beyond the forest’s edge lies a world of magic and danger, where the only thing more twisted than the tree trunks is the truth.

Twisted Thicket Island Bonus Quest
As with several previous islands on Poptropica, there will be a bonus quest for Members who complete the main adventure in Twisted Thicket. The storyline for the bonus quest is that the woodland’s magical essence has scattered across the land. It’s up to you to use your new found powers (I guess we’re getting powers!!!) to collect the missing shards and return them to their source.

Members Only Items

Paid members on Poptropica get a little more love with some exclusive Twisted Thicket Items, including the Lumberjerk Costume, the Troll Power, and a Dryad Follower. The Lumberjerk costume will only be available during Early Access.

Twisted Thicket Island Map

Here is a sneak preview of the Twisted Thicket Map, which was posted on the official Poptropica blog right before the island was launched. As you can see, there are thirteen different zones to visit and it appears you need to move through them in a pretty straight-line fashion. Then again, it is called Twisted Thicket Island, so expect a lot of surprises along the way.

The Winner For the Favourite Island Is Mystery Train Island !!!

Will There Be A Greek Olympic Games Island ? Part 1

4/08/2012 01:56:00 PM No comments

Hey everybody!I have seen some sneak peeks showing about the Olympics And I was STARTLED.
Will there be an Island about Olympics?Not sure but I have Interviewed and seen what Poptropicans said about this.

Busy Seagull: Wow, noticing the Olympic style sneak peeks, I'm REALLY looking forward to this island! The Olympics, as mentioned in the thread "Twisted Thicket," is coming up this summer. How better to celebrate such a world-renowned event on Poptropica than to create an island for it?

The Olympics first got it's start in Ancient Greece-it has nothing to do with Roman gladiators. The Origin of the Olympic Games
Also, the famous Marathon also has it's origins in Ancient Greece. Battle of Marathon How did the ancient olympics transpire into the modern Olympics? It was all do to a man named Pierre de Coubertin. Pierre de Coubertin, Founder of the Modern Olympics.

So, what are your thoughts? Are you excited? Do you think it will be the next island after Twisted Thicket?

Dangerous Leaf: Yeah, looking at the sneak peeks, this'll probably be after Twisted Thicket. Well, the Olympics originally were supposed to be to honor Zeus and the other gods. There was only one event back then, the foot races.

Im excited for this island though, because as it originated in Greece, we might be traveling to Greece again, like for Mythology Island! Oh, and for those that don't know, I love Greek mythology.

So Poptropicans What are your thoughts about This ? Read Part 2 To Find Out the Sneak Peeks.

Best Regards,

Poptropica Friends

4/08/2012 01:43:00 PM No comments

Poptropica will be releasing a new feature soon called Poptropica Friends. They haven’t provided very many details, but the basics are that you will be able to maintain a friends list of people that you meet or know in the game. You can add them as friends, share costumes and something they’re calling “game photos.”

You can share costumes and see profiles of your friends in the game. There’s also something called “personality pieces” which you get by answering quizzes each day. It looks really interesting. They did not announce when it will be available but there is a trailer video about the new feature here:

No matter how it works, being able to maintain a friends list in Poptropica will add a lot to the game and definitely make it more fun to hang out.

I noticed that the video was uploaded to YouTube over a month ago: March 7, 2012 but just went “live” today. So this is something that Poptropica has been planning for a long time but for whatever reason wasn’t ready to announce until now.

There is already a Friends feature on the top toolbar, but it is limited to adding a multiverse code. Based on sneak peeks and screenshots we’ve seen, it looks like this will be replaced with a new avatar icon and will have a lot more features.
