Just a mall cop, solving some mall crimes.

Of course when there is a new post on the Creator’s Blog, the first thing we try to do is get some new information about the newest island. Today we get a look at a new Night Watch sneak peak! There must be plenty of new information hidden in there somewhere, right?

Just hanging out at the mall

What’s your favorite thing to do at the mall? Hit up the food court? Shop? Watch all the other people?
My favorite thing to do at the mall is solve crimes, but that doesn’t come up too much.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

No, I have never solved crimes at the mall Captain Crawfish. Neither have most people, but anyway… This does give us a new look at part of Night Watch, but as far as new information goes, there is not a lot. We see that they are in a store with the initials ITN, most likely In The Now.
Also we see some shirts that are for sale, some of which have themes from previous islands, such as the shirts with Dr. Hare’s face, Reality T.V. Island’s logo, and Black Widow’s hourglass on them. How cool would it be if we could get one of those shirts, am I right? Not a lot of stuff that we don’t already know, but hey, we will take any preview that they will give us at this point, eh?

The End of Poptropolis As We Know It

(and I feel fine)
Sorry for the reference to the 80s song, but it was defiantly necessary. For the actual news, Mews is giving us more news on the situation going down on Poptropolis Island!

More news out of Poptropolis...

Another odd news report just came down the transom. We'll just copy it exactly as we received it:

------------------------

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DECEMBER 27, 2012 -- Mews Foundation seismologists have verified reports of "sizable tectonic activity" taking place beneath the Poptropolis Games. "We've heard the stories about the island returning to the seas whence it came, but, frankly, we thought that smooth-talking emcee was just being dramatic," said Mews Foundation spokesperson Cheerful Spinner. "However, at this time we are not confirming that the Poptropolis Games are, in fact, on the verge of sinking back into the sea."

When asked if the Mews Foundation was denying that such an event was taking place, Spinner had no comment.

This is a breaking news story... updates as events warrant...

------------------------


CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

 Well, it appears more news will be coming soon. What are the creators playing at? What is this going to lead up to? Looks like we need to check back to the PCB soon for more conspiracy news. And allways remember, The Truth Is Out There (and there is the 90s reference).

The First 10 to Survive the Apocalypse

With Zomberry Island being released recently what other would be posted on the PCB but the first 10 finishers? Also, just like last time, the tribes are included. The tribes are slowly becoming a bigger and bigger thing. Along with this, there are the tribe multiplayer rooms, whats next?

 

Congratulations to the first 10 finishers of Zomberry Island!

BINARY BARD

Congrats to all of those guys! To bad I never get on the list, but I'm all ways at school when the Islands comes out! Darn.

Also I was just thinking, remember these?

Well, its been over a year and all of these "Coming Soon" items were promised at the end of Legendary Swords, yet they have still not been released, what do you think? Will they ever be released?

When you got Zomberrys, who ya' gonna call?

EDIT: The Zomberry resources are now up (Guide, Video Guide, Map and Info Page)
Yes, Zomberry Island is now out for members, but non-members don't worry, you get all of the horror on January 10th. I'm working on getting all of the resources up and running so hold tight. The map is coming soon.

In other Poptropica News, it appears that tremors are shaking the Island of Poptropolis.

Breaking news

We just received this strange news bulletin. Thought we'd pass it along...

------------------------

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DECEMBER 21, 2012 -- We are tracking reports of seismic activity in the North Poptropica Sea. Initial data indicates that the tremors are based in the proximity of the Poptropolis Games. Mews Foundation seismologists are en route to the location to investigate further. At present, there is no reason to fear widespread earthquakes or further damage to the Poptropolis ruins.

This is a breaking news story... updates as events warrant...

------------------------

What do you suppose all that's about? Is it the end of the world?


CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

It appears to be a play at 12/21/12 being the "end of the world" but that didn't happen, because I am blogging today!

Also, my Christmas present to you, I will be posting Episodes 3 and 4 of Captain Lightning on the 23rd and 24th, leading up to Bounty Hunted Part One on Christmas day. But don't worry, the action doesn't stop there. The exciting second half, Bounty Hunted Part Two, is going to be released New Years Eve. Make sure to come back and read all the adventure.

Watch the trailer for Skullduggery Island

We've cut a nifty trailer for the book adaptation of Skullduggery Island, which, as you can see, stars the best-looking pirate this side of the Barbary Coast. I assume everything works out really well for me at the end of the book. Right?


CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

So your telling me that we can not only watch the trailer for the book, but we can go ahead and read the first two chapters too? Yes we can, that is just to much awesomeness for me! Also to promote the new book Skulduggery Island has moved to the front page of the map!

Super Saturday Mega Post

Lets look back at the big news this week in the world of Poptropica!

• Super Villain Island

This week Super Villain Island was released to everyone! Do you dare venture into the minds of the dastardly villains of Erewhon Prison? Can you take on the evil Dr. Jupiter Zeus? If you ever get stuck on anything, remember to go on to our Island Guide Page to find Guides, a Map, and the info page.

• Charlie and The Chocolate Factory Island

The info page for the new island has been relesed along with all of the goodies that go along with it!

 "After years of silence, Willy Wonka's magical chocolate factory is re-opening, and you've got a Golden Ticket. But when a group of misbehaving kids threaten to destroy Wonka's candy creations, he needs you to save the day. Prepare to untangle a confectionary conundrum that's full of sweet treats and sticky situations!"

So it appears that the we will be finding the last golden ticket! On the info page you can find four preview photos, a printable poster, a wall paper, and a link to the book and original movie!

• Lunar Colony Island

For all of you with smart phones there is another free guide available in the official Poptropica app!

Lunar Colony walkthrough now available!

If you're still stuck on our latest free Island, Lunar Colony, you're in luck: You can now download the Lunar Colony guide in our official walkthrough app for FREE! The Lunar Colony guide is available now for Apple iOS devices, and will be available soon for Android devices.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

You must all ways remember your guide before blasting off into space!

• Store Items

As it is every Halloween, all of the monster costumes, Frankenstein, Ware-wolf, Swap Monster, Vapmpire, Haunted House, etc. are all moved to the front of the store, but this year there is a new spooky costume in town!
In my opinion, this suit is much better then the old skeleton suit that was obtainable through winning Haunted House. This looks much more like a real skeleton on the body because of the depth. You can see the spine behind the ribs! How cool is that! The only When you press "I'm a skeleton", you are turned into that skeleton you see at the left. But be warned! You don't customize this! When you press "I'm a skeleton", you are instantly wearing that entire suit. So if you have an awesome costume on, it will be gone. When you press "I see skeleons" everyone on the screen, including you, becomes a skeleton!

• Big News

Congratulations to Poptropica for having over a half billion different characters created!

500,000,000 Poptropicans and counting!

It's been a year of milestones for Poptropica. 5 years, 30 Islands, and now this: 500,000,000 characters created.

If Poptropica were a country, it would be the third biggest in the world. Thank you to everyone who is a part of Poptropica!
