The Bizarre Lore of Poptropica

I miss existing

poptropica having a kill count is not what i expected, anyway… mythology and monster carnival were my favorite islands

You know for a kids game the lore is surprisingly dark... They literally acknowledge multiple disasters throughout history where millions of people died, and go out of their way to NOT change it.

The crazy thing is that Greg Heffley and Snoopy are canonically in Poptropica. Also Skullduggery Island was legit the most fun island

Poptropica gameplay: it sure is fun jumping around the island and helping people with their problems. Poptropica lore: dead parents, murder, apathy in the face of genocide, and the inevitable unraveling of an already fragile space time continuum

There are two type of people. 1) People who see Albert Einstein as a Poptropica Character 2) Those who see ThinkNoodles There is no inbetween

Unironically, I’ve been curious about Poptropica lore for years, nostalgia hits hard

Remember when that Olypmic Games Island rose out of the sea for the summer (2012 iirc) and sank back down? A year or two later it rose up again and stayed that way.

Can we please talk about how on Shrink Ray Island the kid whose room you’re in just kinda has a toy of the Poptropica blimp, of which there is canonically only one, so this is a toy of your specific blimp, even if Shrink Ray is your first island. Also, after you get shrunk down, you can use the blimp as a blimp and just kinda leave and you go back to full scale and from there you can even redo the annoying bad terrible tutorial they added and get a new real blimp and bring it back to the island and so now that kid just owns a real actual blimp. This has bothered me since I was a kid.

Sometimes choopo says he likes reading, other times he says reading sucks, some people may find this an inconsistency, but I think this just means that choopo's clone escaped his laboratory from that one video and now lives in choopo's walls and sometimes he sneakily takes choopo's place in videos

The Greek island and the Superhero island will forever be trapped in my memory

I have faint memories of playing this as a kid on my friends computer. She showed me her world and she had a lot of good stuff from what I could tell. Crazy how games like these are being forgotten over time

A game that not only taught us, but also challenged us to problem solve. We need more games like this, it’s so sad that children these days are on social media instead of playing.

I remember playing Time Tangled island all the time, definitely was my favorite out of them. Also, didn't realize how much lore the books put into explaining everything, and somehow has a superior version of the TVA.

I haven't played Poptropica in over a decade, so this lore is completely news to me.

Poptropica was soooo good. I remember playing it in the 5th grade when we had free play. I miss those days 😢

You can play the flash version of poptropica with Flashpoint Infinity!! I use it to play poptropica, emily's delicous, diner dash and the papa's games

as a big long-time fan of Poptropica, this made me so happy!! ❤ although the game/fanbase has seen better days, it still holds a lot of sentimental value to me and i enjoy making content for this niche community, as well as seeing fun vids like this! definitely would love to see more on some of the islands you didn’t mention much, like Survival, Monster Carnival, etc and perhaps more of the villains! :) oh yeah it’s also worth mentioning that in 2017, i was granted beta testing access to Poptropica Worlds and i’m considered a VIP (very important Poptropican) 🌟

I didn’t know Poptropica’s history was so rich- those graphic novels are interesting! I only remember playing during elementary school.

i loved this game as a kid. my favorites, that i remember, were shrink ray island, the diary of a wimpy kid island(s?), time travel island, and superhero island. i very very vaguely remember playing big nate island on my computer.
