★The Poptropican’s 911★
For all your Poptropica emergencies!
~
The PHB’s monthly newsletter – we call it the Poptropican’s 911. It is a giant mixture of news, events and occasionally even competitions. On the first Sunday of every month we will create a new issue of this type of legendary page. You’ll be able to access them all here on this page! It will consist of almost 10 sections for pure Poptropica awesomeness.
That’s right, it’s what you have been dreaming about. Now click on the blue words below to call on this month’s 911:
Or browse through the archives to read past issues:

December 2009: the current issue
Thank you Fearless Paw and ♪CheerfulPanda♫ for suggesting the newsletter’s name, and those who voted in the PHB’s May 2009 poll to determine the final result.
Want to help? This newspage can involve YOU!
Which section are the readers able to help in? Take a look at the list below. (Red titles meaning that it’s PHB-staff-only; green meaning that help is welcome.) If you are able to help in any way, just send in your stuff to poptropicahelpblog@gmail.com, and we’ll see if we can approve it. If we use your submission, we’ll definitely acknowledge your work. Thank you!
Please note: Not all of these will be available in a single issue, some of them may not be in one month’s issue but appear in the next.
-
Ask PHB: Readers can ask questions about Poptropica via e-mail to the PHB staff, and we will answer them to the best of our abilities. We select about 3 of them to publish per month.
- PHB Sneak Peeks: Our graphics staff member, Codien, will find special Poptropica sneak peeks on what’s coming up that hasn’t been mentioned on the Creators’ Blog. Please DO NOT copy them without our permission.
- Stories: Readers like you can submit their own short stories we will select one to three for every month, OR we can hire someone to be a “Newsletter Author”, and they will send in a short story/chapter or part of a long story (for each month) to PHB’s e-mail for us to publish each month. (Or both!)
- Submit Your Own: Lets readers submit their own ideas (maybe their dreams of what kind of island they want to see on Poptropica), stories, competition entries, fan art (comics, etc) and more to poptropicahelpblog@gmail.com.
- Current News/Monthly Reflection: A summary of what happened in Poptropica for the past month – Sneak peeks, new islands, new ads, etc.
- “Easter Eggs”: In each issue, we’ll reveal a secret (known as “Easter eggs”) from Poptropica. (example: typing ‘1225′ in the phone from Nabooti for a Santa hat and sack).
- Fashion: What are the latest fashion trends in Poptropica? We’ll be exploring Multiverse rooms and checking out all the neat outfits everyone’s got to show off!
- Fan Art: Show a Poptropica-themed poem, comic, drawing, puzzle, or something else created by a Poptropica fan. Be creative!
If you would like to have some image[s] to go with your submission (story, island idea, etc.), please attach them to your message or send us a link to the image.
Also, if you would like to apply for any of these positions, you may do so anytime and send them over to poptropicahelpblog@gmail.com. We can’t guarantee that your submission will make it, but if it doesn’t, don’t panic – we might save some for the next month’s issue. We can’t wait to see our readers’ creativity!

June 15, 2009 at 4:10 am

Why: I know I’m NOT going to win, duh.
ST: There is a chance you could have your submission into our newsletter. Don’t be so negative, please.
June 17, 2009 at 9:51 am
Erlinda10, you could at least have a little hope. There’s always a chance it could happen.
June 19, 2009 at 3:30 am
true. don’t count your chickens before they hatch, the old saying goes…
June 26, 2009 at 6:02 am
Especially since someone might make an egg part of their breakfast….
July 2, 2009 at 6:48 am
LOL, Golden Eagle, that’s funny!
“Especially since someone might make the egg part of their breakfast…” Funny!
July 6, 2009 at 3:16 am
Yep, hopefuly the omelete is not a pheonix egg from the jungle world.
July 31, 2009 at 8:16 pm
If its a phonix egg omelet, youd have to have a pretty bid stomach-and a large appetit!( not to mention a nerby gym!)
August 2, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Lol! You guys are funny!
July 6, 2009 at 3:20 am
My rocket looks like a bird whenever you fly in space. It also has at least 90% shield so I can fly staright through the asteroid field without shooting or changing directions.
June 16, 2009 at 11:30 pm
Um… sorry if I’m off topic but can someone tell me what a spam is because i am seeing that word everywhere and it does not sound good…
ST: Spam means wasted/nonsense messages, like “i1o2ynftc04n!!!!!!”. They’re not good.
July 6, 2009 at 3:23 am
Thanks I was wondering the same thing
July 7, 2009 at 6:53 am
OK! Thanks!
September 20, 2009 at 12:12 pm
I get confused with spam alot because there is two types I know. Anyways, keep up the good work PHB!
June 17, 2009 at 6:15 am
I myself, don’t really like the name poptropicans 911
ST: Well, we did let everyone have a chance to vote on it during the month of May 2009, and that was the winning name, so I’d say it’s fair.
August 2, 2009 at 7:53 am
I didnt votw for that name, and, even though my surgested name didnt win, I happy that the name is poptropica 911.
June 23, 2009 at 3:07 am
What about a Poptropica style contest to see the best outfits on Poptropica or just take snapshots of other cool Poptropicans (Codien, for instance
Awesome newspaper, even if I hate the name, whats the deadline for next months stuff? I can’t wait for July 5!!! And happy Early 4th of July everyone
June 27, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Thanks, a1130! PHB should add poptropica’s contests.
To see who’s got the best looking rock star!
September 7, 2009 at 10:35 am
good idea!
June 28, 2009 at 12:02 pm
I have an idea for a new island called “Poptopicas Heart” which is about a one man/woman journey to the center of poptropica to find the hidden treasure of a great warrior named Sir Valience to save the town of Voltomore.
July 1, 2009 at 9:18 pm
oh boy! July’s issue is coming out at July 5, 2009
July 6, 2009 at 3:10 am
ST, How was I abble to read #2 on the 4th of July in the morning?
ST: This blog uses Hong Kong’s time zone (GMT +8), which might be different to the time at the place you live in. So while it is July 4th for you, it’s July 5th for me.
July 6, 2009 at 4:25 am
this is awsome!
July 9, 2009 at 11:59 pm
I can’t help you take a picture, but I can give you a link where you can type in your username and your poptropican comes up. Montionman5 made it.

July 10, 2009 at 12:22 am
On the Costumes page of this website, I think there are instructions of how to take a picture of you in Costumizer view.
July 10, 2009 at 10:23 am

nice blog i love it
August 12, 2009 at 1:26 am
this is my fav help blog
August 18, 2009 at 11:57 pm
I love 911 but there could be a fashion article would be cool
October 4, 2009 at 3:24 pm
Great idea, Mousyblack! I have added a fashion article as one of the listed things the 911s will have.
August 24, 2009 at 3:39 am
I agree with Golden Lobster. A fashion article would be cool.
Here are some Submit your own island ideas.
Epidemic Island- You’ll arrive in a town where the civilians are catching an unknown virus and you have to break into goverment files, work with Poptropica’s best doctors and scientists, start fundraisers to provide funds, and find a cure before it is too late!
Mystery Island- The police have been tracking down some criminals who are stealing trucks full of grapes harvested from the vineyard and they have asked you to follow the criminals, find out why they are stealing the grapes, and stop them before they can escape!
Mystery Island 2- You’ll arrive in a town where there is peace throughout the island. But when someone lights Main Street on fire everything is destroyed. You can’t go in any buildings. Not even the Multi-player room. If you leave main Street you can’t come back until you complete the island.( The blimp moves to somewhere else)You then search throughout the whole island for clues of where he is. And when you find the fire-starter you turn him in to the police and you will receive the island medallion and you will see that Main Street is rebuilt! You can go in all the buildings!(The multiplayer-room, the Police department, the Jail, and the best for last the costume store ( you get any costumes out of there for free if you are wearing your island medallion( Not costumes from the Poptropica Store)!
Hope you will like my island ideas and put them in the September 911. (My birthday is in September!)
September 9, 2009 at 11:26 am

October 2, 2009 at 6:13 am
I have a fiction story that im making up. no not offline.here it is by the way plz post ive never been posted.Anyway heres the story:
The Poptropican Legend of Webkinz:
One night when Purple Shadow was reading her book of legends, one of the legends caught her eyes. It was the legend of Webkinz!!!
She read it and it said: ‘Webkinz are animals who never die. There’s even unicorns, pegasus, and dragons!’
Purple Shadow gasped. It showed a drawing of a lava dragon webkinz. Purple shadow yawned and went to sleep. But her dream was so weird! She dreamed that she was riding on the back of a Pegasus Webkinz! “BREAKFAST!” called Purple Shadow’s mother, Yellow Snowball. “COMING!” Purple Shadow shouted back. Once Purple Shadow was at school,she asked her best friend, Green Speck, if she believed the legend about webkinz. “Well, DUH,everyone knows they’re not real at ALL,”
was Green Speck’s answer.When Purple Shadow got home, she finished her homework. Her mom said she could go explore. “OK,” said Purple Shadow. She decided to dig beneath Poptropica to find the legendary ‘Webkinz World’. She dug really, really, really, really, REALLY deep, but then she saw a sign!!! It said, ‘Welcome to Webkinz world’!!! “WOO HOO!” shouted Purple Shadow, although no one was around to hear her. She entered. Never before had she seen a better place- except maybe her house. “Hello,” said a small voice. Purple Shadow gasped. IT WAS A WEBKINZ BENGAL TIGER!!! And not only that- Purple Shadow had never seen a bengal tiger before… or a webkinz! “Who are you?” asked Purple Shadow. “I am Stripey. Who are you- and what are you?” asked Stripey. Purple Shadow giggled. “I’m Purple Shadow I’m a Poptropican,” said Purple Shadow. “Would you like to come with me? Then my friend Green Speck would believe it.” “Believe what?” asked Stripey. “Webkinz are just a legend where I live,” answered Purple Shadow. “Yes, I would like to come home with you,” said Stripey, after a moment of thinking it over. “Follow me,” Purple Shadow told Stripey. So Stripey followed Purple Shadow out of the hole. Purple Shadow asked her mom if she could sleep outside. Her mom said
yes. The next day, Purple Shadow showed Stripey to Green Speck after school. “I’ll bet he’s just a robot,” said Green Speck. “Um, no I’m NOT,” said Stripey. “WHAT THE…,” said Green Speck. “Told you,” said Purple Shadow. “OK,OK, OK!!!” shouted Green Speck. From that day on, Purple Shadow, Green Speck, and Yellow Snowball were all friends with Stripey.
THE END

Heres another story:
Purple Shadow and the Haunted House:
One morning,Purple Shadow went over to her bookshelf. It was summer break. She picked up a book called, ‘Monsters & More’. On the first page, it said, ‘Ghosts are the most common monster. Although in Poptropica, you cannot walk through them. They can dissapear into thin air, but they are still there or somewhere else. They can transport to somewhere faster than the blink of an eye’.
Six months later, Purple Shadow saw a REAL ghost! “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!” screamed Purple Shadow. “WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” shouted the ghost.
Suddenly, the ghost’s sheet fell of to reveal-Green Speck! “But why…,” Purple shadow started to say, but then stopped herself. “I’m practicing my Halloween tricks. Why do you THINK I was out here!?”asked Green Speck.”Well,you looked like a real ghost!” said Purple Shadow.
Purple Shadow went as a skeloton for Halloween, and, of course, Green Speck was a ghost.
THE END
