(cue the fanfare music...)

The newest island for Poptropica has been revealed. It's Poptropolis Games! The creators just posted about it on the official blog and left a short but informative sneak peek trailer for the latest island to join the Poptropica family. In this island, which will be the 27th, you'll compete as part of a tribe in a series of games that get their inspiration from the ancient Greek Olympics. It's clearly being launched because of the 2012 Olympic Games that are happening this Summer in London.

Take a quick look at the video here:

All we really know is that there will be a bunch of games to play, probably set up like on Reality TV Island, where you go from event to event and try to beat other competitors. The island itself rises up from the ocean, which is super cool. It looks like the lost city of Atlantis or something. There have been several sneak peeks posted in Daily Pop and when you put them all together it's clear that there will be a lot of sporting events like the javelin toss and races.

Ooooh, there was a really big announcement on Friday about a brand-new feature coming to Poptropica soon called Poptropica Friends. It sounds like after a really long wait, we're finally getting a buddy list feature in Poptropica. The creators posted a sneak peek video and made a short blog post about the new feature, which is really a collection of many different cool features all bundled into one.

First, the video. Here it is. Take a peek.

So you can see there will be friends/buddy lists and you can create them either by meeting people in multiplayer rooms or if you know your friend's account name. Sounds pretty cool! And it looks like you can share costumes with friends and share something called game photos which get taken during islands. I think this will be achievements and badges like you can earn on XBox Live and other games.

Paid members get one more special benefit: the Closet feature. This is a way that you can save up to thirty different outfits in one place for easy retrieval. It's much better than having to piece everything together one by one if you're really into making custom outfits in the game.

In totally other news, Twisted Thicket Island is coming out in just three days. It will go live at 3 pm Eastern on Thursday, April 12. It's going to be fun. Members can get special costumes in the Poptropica Store right now. These include the mysterious Lumberjerk outfit, the Troll outfit (which turns people to stone!) and the Dryad follower. Hurry up and get them now!

The Lumberjerk Costume in Poptropica. For members only during Early Access for Twisted Thicket Island.

We've all been waiting a long time for Twisted Thicket Island since it was announced several weeks ago. The Creators finally provided the launch date: it's next Thursday, April 12. Paid members, as usual, will get in first and non-members will get to play a demo but must wait a few weeks to play the full island. You can read more about it on the official Poptropica blog or the official Twisted Thicket Info page.

The Poptropica creators are having a little fun on April Fool's Day with a blog post that announces that all Poptropicans will get noses on their faces on Monday. It's just an April Fool's joke, so don't get worried. Your Poptropican will remain nose-free for the foreseeable future.

The joke post says that every single character on Poptropica will get a nose, whether you want one or not. They also called it an innovative and groundbreaking feature in the game.

Dum-dum-dum...there's a new Poptropica announcement. The next island quest will be called Twisted Thicket Island. It all takes place in a Norse Mythology setting, specifically in a deep dark forest, complete with mythical creatures and lots of surprises. We don't yet know very much about the newest island, especially when it will be available to play. But the creators of Poptropica were kind enough to post a trailer for the upcoming quest and you can take a sneak peek right here.

What do you think of the new island? The trailer shows that the island will have its spooky elements, but it's not nearly as scary as Vampire's Curse Island and Ghost Story Island. How long do you think we'll have to wait for this new adventure to arrive?

Vampire's Curse Island is coming today. Well, just for paid members. Shortly after it's released, I will have the walkthrough with all of the cheats, tips and guides on how to beat Vampire's Curse Island.   It's going to be a very spooky and fun island to play. The story behind it is that there's a vampire named Count Bram who lives near a mountain village and he captures a young villager. You need to rescue that villager from Count Bram while escaping the vampire's curse.

Cheats for Vampire's Curse Island

There will be a bonus quest for members at the end of the main quest. The vampire will be gone, but you need to discover secrets hidden inside his castle.

It's only a few hours away! Check out the trailer if you haven't seen it yet.

The twenty-fifth island in Poptropica is here! Can you believe it? It is called Vampire's Curse Island and as the name suggests, it's about a vampire and well, his curse. It takes place in a remote mountain village. When you arrive, you discover that two teenagers have disappeared and a vampire who lives nearby may be responsible. You need to sneak into his castle, rescue the teenagers, and discover a cure for the curse. Good thing we have a full walkthrough here to help you out!

The island was announced on February 7 and was first available to paid members on Poptropica on March 9.

Walkthrough for Vampire's Curse Island

Talk to the other people and they'll tell you that these kids love Vampires. Continue to the right. A woman will tell you that Katya and her boyfriend Christopher are just crazy about Vampires and they probably went to Count Bram’s Castle.

Once you arrive at the outside of Bram’s Castle, you’ll meet Christopher. He is upset because it was his fault why Katya is missing and he wouldn’t want to rescue her since there are still lots of girls in the village. Not much of a boyfriend, is he? So this is your mission, to rescue Katya from the hands of Count Bram. Jump to the branch and a werewolf will attack you, go to the right and enter to the tree. You can use one of the branches as your weapon, so whenever the werewolf will try to run, click on the branch to knock it down. Go out the tree by clicking the hole. There's a Log that you need to get on the left of the tree but you can't easily get through the edge of the ground. Run to the right and jump on the top, climb to the rope and to the other branches.

You'll find Teen Vampire Novel and Crowbar here, these will be very useful tools so put them to your backpack. Go outside and continue to the right. Grab the tube pipe on the grave house and put it near the water pump. You will need to get some water from the water pump by jumping into it. Place the pipe exactly where the water falls so that it will take the water to the gutter. Swim through the water on the gutter to get across and to the next entrance.

You’ll find rocks on the side you will need to move them to the right to the water fountains. The first boulder will be easy, the but on the second boulder you will need to use the Crowbar.

Then go back to the canon to light it up, the ball will get outside the room back to the fireplace room. Push the ball to the fire to make it fireball. You will need to move it to the opening beside the armory room. But you can't touch it when its hot, so use the fire stick to push it and place it on the hole. Now the canon is head on the ceiling, you need to break the ceiling to create an entrance. Click on another ball again and charge it on the canon, light a candle and blow it up. Now jump on the canon and use the crossbow from your backpack. You need to shoot the wall on the left to be your ladder to the top.

Use the crowbar and open the locked window, it will give light to the beanstalk plant but it will still need some water. There is a bucket just below you, fill it up with water from the fountain outside the castle. Go back to the plant on the armory room. Use the bucket of water from you backpack to the plant and the beanstalk will grow so fast out of the room, out of the window, to the next window. Jump through its leaves and get to the top window.

Arrival on Island- Washington D.C

Jump down to the left when you arrived on the island. Continue walking till you see a guy pushing his luggage which is Thomas Edison (the inventor of light bulb) on Washington D.C train station. You’ll offer him a helping hand. You need to form a ramp out of the other luggage. To do so, you need to re-arrange those, from smallest to largest which will be from left to right. Just follow the simple instructions that will prompt and you’re good to go. After the ramp has been formed, push Edison’s luggage on the train. When you completed this mini game, Edison will give you a train ticket to Chicago as a reward. Follow him on the right and ride the train with a poster of Chicago World’s Fair.

Welcome Aboard!

When you get inside the train, go to the left till you get on the next zone. You’ll meet Ferris, the guy that will give you a telegram stating that “Latest Attempt, to fix wheel failed stop, need more power stop”. Continue to go left and talk to the guy outside his cabin which is Nikola Tesla and then go inside the cabin of Susan B. Anthony. Talk to her and she’ll give you a Women’s Suffrage Pamphlet. Leave her room and head your way still to the left and talk to the other guy which is Gustave Eiffel.  After your conversation, enter the next room with Erik Weisz name. After you talk to him, exit his room and continue walking to the left.

You’ll meet a guy with a hat which is a reporter from New York Times. Talk to him and will tell you that the fair is a second rate because it will be held on Chicago instead of New York. Next, you need to enter Mark Twain’s cabin and go to the left and talk to him. Leave the room right after and walk to the left. Pick up the pencil you’ll see along your way. Next enter Thomas Edison cabin and talk to him as well, and then leave. Proceed to Mlle Moreau’s room and will give you Le Monde newspaper. Go back to Edison’s cabin and he’ll show you his new device which captures moving pictures. When you try it out and see it’s working, Edison will go outside to call the New York Times reporter. A cut-scene of the train will be shown entering a tunnel. Suddenly lights will be gone and when it comes back, you’ll be surprised that the device had disappeared.  When Thomas Edison and the reporter arrive, they’ll confront you for the missing machine. A message will appear…Now you’re on the Case! You must prove that you’re not the thief by uncovering the real criminal. Good luck, Detective!

Start of your Detective Mission…

Every passenger will give you different clues. First click on Thomas Edison and then a box of clues will appear, click on the box and Edison will tell you that the device will make him star of the fair. While when you click on the reporter he’ll tell you that Mark Twain was hiding something on his secret compartment in his cabin. Leave the cabin and go to Mlle Moreau’s cabin. She’ll tell you that the device is still on board and will not put anything against Mark Twain. Leave her cabin and go to the right on Mark Twain’s cabin. You’ll ask him about his secret compartment but he’ll deny it. However he’ll let you look around. So click on the wall behind you, the sixth panel will be open which his secret compartment is. But it was just his manuscript for the “Adventure of Huckleberry Finn that was hidden there! And then suddenly the train stopped. Go outside and talk to the NY Times reporter to get another clue. Then you’ll be back on board, at the train’s engine. So go again to the left and when you click on the coal man, he’ll tell you that he’s been in the engine room the whole time. You’ll meet George Ferris again and will tell you now that he’s sorry to hear about Edison’s troubles but he got his own problems too. Now go to Susan B. Anthony Cabin and will tell you that Nikola Tesla has been locked in his cabin, which seems suspicious for her, same with Gustave Eiffel Statement. Continue to go left and talk to other passengers to get more clues and when you meet the reporter again, he’ll ask you if you found the device on Twain’s cabin. You’ll say nope and it was now a dead end!

Still you’ll need to continue to walk to the left and you’ll notice some stains on Edison’s front door which you conclude as prune juice stains. Head your way all the way to the left till you reach the dining car of the train and then talk to the train’s porter and click on the glass of prune juice to get his clue. He’ll say that passengers order information was confidential, so he’ll throw away the order sheet. Get the porter’s notepad on the counter and use your pencil to scratch the notepad to see the imprint that was left behind. You’ll see that Nikola Tesla was the one who ordered prune juice.

Head your way now all the way to the right till you reach the luggage area. There’s a chest there with a black handprint on it. Click on the chest and you’ll find another clue out the coal smudges. And then someone will throw a scissor at you. Looks like someone doesn’t like you snooping around anyway pick the scissors and put it on your back pack. Proceed to right and talk to the coal man. Click on the coal smudge at the clue box and the coal man will say that he leave his post to get a snack when the train stopped, but he didn’t go near the luggage and tell you to ask the porter to confirm his statement.

So go to the porter at the left, which is now near Le Monde reporter’s room. Talk to him and click the “coal man left for a snack clue”. He will confirm the coal man’s statement and that clue will disappear on the clue box. Return to the luggage area and you’ll meet Le Monde reporter near the chest with coal smudge. When you talk to her, she’ll have an idea of you dressing up just like the porter and bringing Mr. Tesla a drink. Go ahead at the porter’s closet at the right side. Get inside his room and click on his porter’s outfit, click the customize button to put it on. Leave the room after.

Still head your way to the right at Mr. Tesla’s cabin and then enter his room by knocking on the door so that he will let you in. When you talk to him, he’ll ask for a refill of prune juice. Get the pitcher located at the dresser and just keep refilling his glass. He will soon leave to use the bathroom and that will be your chance to search his cabin to find another clue. There’s a little window that will appear on screen, which you can view Mr. Tesla leaving and going to the bathroom. Just keep clicking around because the game looks like it was arranged that you’ll find something at the last possible moment, which might get you panic. You’ll get the Luggage key when Tesla was already in front of his cabin.

Leave Tesla’s room and go back to the luggage area. Use the key to open the trunk with coal smudge. Finally you found the device on Tesla’s trunk and said that he’s the thief! The Le Monde reporter then informs the security guards. The Pinkerton guard arrives with Tesla and the porter. And then the porter will ask you to return the said device to Thomas Edison.

You’ll re-appear on Edison’s room and will be thankful but still can’t believe that Tesla stole his device. So both of you examine the device’s film and you will get a grainy picture. You’ll found out that when you went around the curve, Tesla was all the way on the other side of the train. So the thief is still on the loose. Leave Edison’s cabin to do more investigation.

First return to the luggage area and then jump on the barrel and go up on the roof through an open hole and then run to the right while dodging on the obstacles until you see another hole you can enter. Jump down to see Tesla in the coal’s car. He will give you a sketch of his cabin looked like when they locked him up and ask you to go to his room to see if you can find anything different.

Go to the left and go inside Tesla’s cabin. Get the sketch on your back pack and use it. Click on the pencil at the bottom left corner; circle the trunk on the right corner near the bed and you’ll win the game. Go back to the left at the luggage area and jump up onto the roof and go right back to the coal’s car. Again talk to Tesla and you’ll find another clue of how did somebody open the luggage?

You need to go to Erik Weisz cabin at the left. Ask him about the “open briefcase clue” and he’ll say that the lock look s like it was picked by an expert and you’ll get another clue of Eric Weisz odd behavior on your box. Exit his room and go to the left and talk to the NY Times reporter about the new clue you have on Eric Weisz and he’ll give you a copy of a New York Times newspaper. When you examine it, you’ll see an article of Harry Houdini, master of escape.

Go back to the right at Eric Weisz cabin. He’s not around but you will find a lock pick bag on the floor near the cabinet. And then Weisz will appear and you will confront him about his true identity. He is the real Houdini! He jump and climbs up on the roof. Follow and chase after him, still dodging on the obstacles. Go down on the storage area and use the scissors to cut the rope and click the large curtain to uncover the large box. Houdini got trapped! You’ll play a mini game now using your lock pick bag. You have four padlocks that you need to open. Click on each lock and then click and drag the lock picks and push them with the matching shape symbols until it sets on the red line and opens it. When you’re done with the four, Houdini will be rescued! He will tell you that he’s not the thief and he’s been trying to crack the mystery himself. You’ll ask for a proof that he is not the culprit, and so he tells you that someone stole one of his lock picks that is why he couldn’t escape on the water tank. Also he said that find what Tesla was hiding and you’ll find the thief. Suddenly Eric Weisz vanished.

Run to the right and go to the luggage area and enter the hole on the roof and go back to Tesla at the coal’s car. You need to use your lock picks to open up his handcuffs so he would talk about something he was hiding. He will tell you that he was carrying a small transformer capable of generating an enormous amount of wattage and that the only device which can provide enough electricity to power the Ferris wheel. He will also give you a transformer sketch.

Go back to left and enter Mark Twain’s cabin. Talk to him and he will tell you about a mysterious fellow in the last car which may lead you to the truth. Leave his cabin and continue to run to the left until you reach the Pinkerton Security car. You need to jump on the crates to reach the platform and then jump down to the next platform with the hanging bucket and again leap down to the left past the sleeping guard. And finally you’ll be on another cabin. You’ll meet a guy with moustache which is US President Grover Cleveland. He is also following your investigation with the help of the Pinkerton man. So both of you will put all together the evidences you have: a glass of prune juice, coal smudges, key, Tesla’s briefcase, transformer sketch, just click the clues in order to continue the statement of the president. The president will tell you then to go back to the luggage area and take a closer look at the trunk and identify its owner to reveal the true identity of the thief as well.

Run as fast as you can to the right at the luggage area. Again use the luggage key to open the chest with the coal smudge. When you open the trunk, you’ll see that it is full of things from France and that concludes you that the thief is from that place. Go to the left and talk to Gustave Eiffel, he admitted that he’s French but will tell you that you overlooked one very important detail. The handkerchief belongs to a lady. So you realized that the culprit was the Le Monde reporter, she doesn’t want the Chicago Fair upstage Paris! Finally the train stopped because you have already arrived at the fair. Gustave added that she might try to destroy the transformer and you need to stop her!

Your Final Mission… Saving Chicago World’s Fair!

You’ll re-appear outside the train and you’ll see the Le Monde reporter at the left. She has the transformer and plans to destroy the Ferris wheel and then she’ll run off to the left. Chase her but you need to surpass the obstacles. First the lions have the right timing to jump on their mouth when it closes. Next the jugglers, just jump on the overhangs to avoid them and when you get on the snake charmer, wait for the snake to go down to jump on the lid on his head. The snake will lift you up and you can jump on the platform on the left. Continue to run to the left past the belly dancers. The Le Monde reporter will run away again and the guards will come after you. Jump on the giant totems to avoid them, but when you get to the last one, they will knock the first totem making the other totems fall like dominos. Now you’ll be on the last area of the fair, The Ferris wheel. Jump to the Ferris wheel to the left and climb on the ropes. When you get on the #13 seat of the Ferris wheel, she will throw out a crate on you. Jump up on top and swing the rope attached to #14 seat to the right. Jump up again till you reach the top and you’ll see the Le Monde reporter throws down Tesla’s transformer. Swing the rope on the left to catch the transformer and go back to her. When you get closer to her, she will fall on Houdini’s water tank trap. Jump down after her and use the transformer. Ferris will thank you for saving Chicago World’s Fair and the President will appreciate you for a job well done! Then he will give you the Presidential Medal of Honor which is the Island medallion.

Congratulations!
