A Parent's Guide to Poptropica
Since its launch in September 2007, Poptropica has been the fastest-growing online virtual world for kids. Each month, more than 6 million children around the globe explore the vibrant and constantly expanding game world. Kids are also flocking to the Poptropica app. Chances are that your child or one of her friends is an avid player. But what's the game all about, exactly? As a parent, what do you need to know about this increasingly popular phenomenon? Let's start with the basics. (Poptropica is also part of Family Education Network.) The basics of Poptropica First, kids create a character. After selecting whether to play as a boy or a girl Poptropican, they are assigned a name. Each character's appearance is randomly generated to start with; kids have the option to change almost all of their avatar's physical attributes, such as facial features and clothing. This character can be saved, via a password system, for use in future game-play sessions. Then, kids enter Poptropica, a virtual world dotted with individual islands. Each island has its own theme, and its own adventure for players to complete. For example, 'Time-Tangled Island' is a time-traveling adventure in which players must return objects and characters to their historically accurate periods, while 'Spy Island' is a comical thriller with lots of futuristic gadgets. Each has a distinct storyline that is not related to those of the other islands. Besides the single-player adventure, each island features common rooms, in which Poptropica players can play standalone games against other people. These are primarily short, simple, reflex-based games, such as a skydiving competition in which the first person to touch the ground safely wins, or a basketball shooting competition in which the hoop is rising and falling. Players are given a star ranking based on their win-loss record. Characters are controlled entirely by the mouse. Players move an arrow-shaped cursor in the direction they want their character to go, and hold down the left mouse button to make them move. To jump, players move the cursor up; to duck, they move it down. There are also special actions that can be accomplished with inventory items -- for example, a jetpack lets users fly, while a glowstick illuminates dark areas. The inventory menu is graphical, and also accessed by the mouse. Those are the basics.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- This island seems to contain many references to previous islands, including a shark statue from Shark Tooth Island, the Hair Club from Spy Island, a Greek statue from Mythology Island, a cactus from Wild West Island, and the sewage from Super Power Island.
- The Common Room sign somewhat reads 'The Blue Locust, est. 2007' which is the year Poptropica got released.
- The cake that you receive after testing is a reference from the popular video game franchise, Portal. It's a Black Forest cake.
- The third floor of Poptropica HQ has a sign advertising “Sports Nectar, Poptropica’s favorite sports drink” – first seen on Cryptids Island.
- The trash can has many rejected villains inspired by villains from popular islands. There is a blueprint with 'Return of the Balloon Boy' on it, referencing Counterfeit Island, and a script that says Monster Carnival circled with a 'NOPE'. This is a reference to the originally scrapped Monster Carnival.
- Inside the basement, the paper on the wall has the Konami Code.
- The climber claims that he's tired of Poptropica and that he'll go climb a mountain over at 'Walrus Den' or something. This may be a reference to Club Penguin.
- The scene where you break the loading scene with your head is a reference to Super Mario Bros.
- The woman at the end claims the island would not be finished without a 'Poptropica-styled twist. A main villain who has been hiding in plain sight all along.' This is a reference to Spy Island, Counterfeit Island and Super Villain Island, which all have a similar plot twist.
- The names Billy Jordan and Lance Pitcher refer to actual creators of Poptropica, Jordan Leary and Jon Pitcher respectively.
- Inside of the Cheese Factory, there is a poster that says 'We Can Moo It!' It is a reference to the WWII Propoganda Poster saying 'We Can Do It!'
