Here is a look at our awesome new costume! But why does a skeleton need an eye patch, it has no eyes anyway, its a skeleton!
In other Promo Code news, the final Wimpy Kid Costume has been released!


A nice Big Ben costume, along with the king costume, these seem to be British themed! What do you think of all of these new Promo Codes and Costumes? Tell me in the comments!



Also, I have been working on a new series called “The Adventures of Captain Lightning” based on Poptropica. I will post the first episode on this Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, and a new episode every Sunday. To get you excited, here is a preview for Episode 1: Origin Part One.

Scary Lightning awoke to the sound of booming and crashing. He looked over at the clock and it said 3:00 AM.  Downstairs that science wiz girl was making something again! He tried to get back to sleep but he couldn’t with all of the noise flying around. After two hours of lying in bed awake he decided that he should get up and eat some breakfast. But before he could make it to the kitchen of his small apartment the whole building was shaking! It was coming from downstairs! That girl was doing something big and it was not going to end well.
“Keep it down you…” but before he could finish his sentence there was a flash of green light and he was unconscious.

Remember, the first Episode will be posted Thanksgiving, and come back every Sunday for a new episode!

With the countdown on the home page we will know the exact second it is released! 
Finally, while scrolling through the Daily Pop I saw this.
Doesn't this look like is should be from Skullduggery? That's what I thought too! So it appears that Dr. Hare is returning, Black Widow might be returning, and now Skullduggery-like previews? What does this mean?

A Bunny-Pirate?

Our favorite evil Rabbit Scientist Man has put his favorite island in the spotlight today with his newest post.

Creators' favorite Islands: Dr. Hare's pick

We're sharing the Poptropica creators' picks for their favorite Islands. Today: Dr. Hare.

Skullduggery Island is one of my personal favorites. I love the variety of gameplay on this Island. From classic questing to battling and trading on the high seas, this Island really has it all! That Crawfish fellow gave me some trouble though. If only I had my rabbot…

DR. HARE
 Once again, the creator hasn't picked their own island as their favorite!
 I wonder who will be next?

The exciting last chapter in this wonderful series of PCB posts.

Here is the latest PCB post people!

Behind the scenes of Skullduggery Island: The Phoenix Warbird, part five



With the colors and the scale of the Phoenix Warbird in place, it's time for a few final tweaks to the design. For that extra "oomph," the creators give the ship a set of fierce-looking talons.And it's done! Starting with one basic idea, the creators sketch out different possibilities, choose a direction, and then refine and improve the design until the final version you see here.

Here's how it looks next to an actual Poptropican.

Huge, isn't it?

And here's a look at the Phoenix Warbird when it takes to the seas.

Pirates of Skullduggery Island, tremble in fear!

Quite a journey from concept to reality, huh? How far we've come:



Of course, seeing the Phoenix Warbird in pictures is one thing. Taking the helm of this mighty vessel is quite another.

Have you earned enough doubloons in Skullduggery Island to buy the Phoenix Warbird? If not, what are you waiting for? Play Skullduggery Island now!

Hey, another new PCB Post.

Behind the scenes of Skullduggery Island: The Phoenix Warbird, part 4

You've already seen how the mighty Phoenix Warbird started life as a simple pencil sketch. (Wait, you haven't? Check out the first part of our behind-the-scenes look at Skullduggery Island.)

The creators worked hard to get the details right, and now it's time to give the Phoenix Warbird a sprinkling of that old Poptropica magic.


The designers color in the black-and-white outline they made earlier. They create a simple background of water and sky to demonstrate how the ship will appear in Skullduggery Island. And, as before, they add a little reference box that shows how big the Warbird is compared to a Poptropican.

The Phoenix Warbird is almost ready to set sail on Skullduggery Island!

Agghhh!!!! The Phoenix war bird is on my iPod

Posted on my iPod

Hey, how are you my fellow Poptropicans?
There are two new PCB About the Phoenix war bird.
The first:
Behind the scenes of Skullduggery Island: The Phoenix Warbird, part 2

On Skullduggery Island, players start with a junky old sloop, and earn doubloons to buy bigger and better boats. Early on, the Poptropica creators knew they wanted the most powerful ship to have an animal theme.
Even so, there were still dozens and dozens of smaller decisions to make. Should the boat look realistic or fantastical? How big should it be? Should it be scary?
To explore the possibilities, the designers made a few more sketches.



After another round of discussion (okay, arguments), the creators settled on a direction and set to work on the final version.


And the Second:


Behind the scenes of Skullduggery Island: The Phoenix Warbird, part 3


Poptropica fans already know that the Phoenix Warbird is the strongest ship on Skullduggery Island. But it didn't always look that way! The designers went through several rounds of revisions, tweaking existing ideas and coming up with new ones.

Finally, they had settled on the basic design and set to work putting it into Poptropica. The first step: a black-and-white wireframe, which adapts the earlier sketches into the Poptropica style.



See that little box above the ship and to the right? That's to help the designers remember how large the ship is in comparison to your Poptropican.

The ship isn't finished yet. There are more design tweaks to be made, not to mention the most fun part: Coloring!

Skullduggery Guide

Fort Ridley
You need to go right till you go this small hill, then press go right. You’ll see this girl and she’ll say she wants someone to get her coin. You then go under the hill and press go left. When you get there, you find the coin. Then next thing you do is go to the shop and press “Use” on the doubloon to get Feed for chickens. Then you go right until you see this shelf with a broken mirror on top. Click on it and she’ll say you can have it for free. After that you exit then go left until you see this guy with chickens. You press “Use” on the Feed and he’ll give you a chicken for a reward.
Then you go right and up the hill and go even more right till you see a guy with bugs destroying his crops. You press “Use” on the Chicken and he’ll reward you with a blue candle. Then you go even more right till you see a bunch of rocks. Jump on the rocks till you reach the top and go right to find the mansion. Go in the mansion and go right to talk to the governor. He’ll give you a message that has some part that will only be able to be read under the blue candle.
Click “Use” on the blue candle and he’ll show you the rest of the message. Then you exit and go back to the first part of Fort Ridley. You’ll see a building where this guy with a musket is and then keep going up to find this telescope. Press “Use” on the broken mirror and you’ll have to keep looking through the telescope till you see a small raft. (Hint – Scroll the telescope all the way left.)
Press the mirror icon in the bottom left corner when you see the raft and you’ll shine a signal. Then he’ll respond back and a message will say he’s approaching. He comes back and he gives you his raft. There will be 2 guys on there for your crew. (But sometimes on some people that they will disappear). Then you have to find the map pieces.

Bouffant Bay
To find the Map piece here, you talk to this one guy who says it’s on 312 Hanging Fern Way. You go right till you find hanging ferns. Remember… 3-1-2 which is in the order of which you hit.
3rd fern
1st fern
2nd fern
When you hit them in this order, a map piece will fall. Grab it.

Parrot Port
To find this Map piece, you need to talk to this parrot. He’ll tell you to jump in the sea and then come find him. Jump in the ocean and then go on top of the second building (not including the tower). He will be on this window. Then he’ll tell you to clog the vent and see where he went. You then go to the building to the right with the vent. Stand on it to clog it, and then go right and jump in the last palm tree where the bird is in. Then he’ll tell you to go to the tower, and you’ll find a friend. There will be a pirate and he’ll award you the map piece if you bring back the parrot. To find the parrot, you need a cracker, the cracker is in the cafe on the top left corner. When you’re outside, you press “Use” on the cracker and the parrot will fly to you. Then you click on the pirate and he’ll give you the Map piece.

Golden Harbor:
You need to light the lamps in a specific order to get the Map piece. You need to light the first, second, and fourth lamps. Count the lamps and then do this. Light the fourth lamp first, which is right next to the gate. Then you need to light up second lamp, which is on the first building. And then the first lamp which is the first lamp you see when you come there first. If you light them up in this order, the map piece will come out of the gate the fourth lamp is next to.

Pirate Place:
To get this one, you need to go to the very top of the place. Then you need to jump on this post where a cannon starter kit is. Then you will find an explosive barrel somewhere in the middle of the place. Push the explosive all the way down under the golden tooth of the skull. Then you need to click on the cannon a little left of the big skull. When it hits the explosive, the gold tooth will fall out and then there will be a map piece sticking out.

Dragon Cove:
In the water, step on the first dragon head. You will get the mallet. Bang the gong with the mallet. Then move the man with the fishing pole to where the fish jump. When he gets a fish, he will give you a map piece.
Skullduggery Island:
You will need to gather doubloons (1 million or a little less) to buy the Phoenix Warbird at the Dragon . You will also need doubloons to assemble your crew. It’s best to get all 4 (no one for hire on Golden Harbor) to beat many enemies that will come. The best way to gain a lot of doubloons is to go from island to island, buying the max of the cheapest item, then selling it all on the next island and buying max of the cheapest again. Also, remember to get salvages. If some other ship begins shooting at you, best to run away rather than get beat. Don’t buy the crew members until the end. When you assemble your crew and get the Phoenix Warbird, you go to Skullduggery which will show when you have gotten all 5 map pieces. When you get all this, you go to Skullduggery and Captain Crawfish’s ship will appear. Keep trying to hit it with your cannons and don’t let him get out of your sight because he will keep healing. If he only has a little health left and you have a lot, run your ship into his. It drains health from you and him very quickly, so only do this when he has a tiny bit of health and you have a lot. He will die quickly. Once you defeat him, you go back to the Governor and talk to him. He’ll give you a map to the treasure, and a bone shovel. When you go back to Skullduggery, you dock on it and you have to go 6 paces East (right) of the flag you see. Then you use your bone scythe and then you dig up the treasure. After that Captain Crawfish appears again, but his ship falls apart because of your crew. Then you leave and get 100 credits and the medallion.
