Fun and Games in Poptropica

Poptropica is a great, exciting and fun game for kids. In Poptropica, you go on different missions on islands. Each individual island has a different theme, and those themes range from superheroes to time travel and space adventures. In each mission, there are a number of different tasks to be done, usually in a specific order. There are a lot of hidden secrets and cheats in Poptropica and they are really fun to find. Here is a very quick overview of Poptropica to demonstrate everything that you can do in the game.

Poptropica has nine separate islands to explore and adventure upon. There will be a tenth island added in late Summer of 2009. The latest island released in Poptropica is Astro-Knights island, a vast and complicated mission that is very challenging. The previous islands are known as:

1. Early Poptropica

2. Sharktooth Island

3. 24-Carrot Island

4. Time Tangled Island

5. Super Power

6. Spy Island

7. Nabooti

8. Big Nate Island

You can play any island adventure at any time, but you might want to begin with one of the simpler islands, like Early Poptropica to get a idea of how to play. No matter what island you choose, you’ll have fun in Poptropica.

Your avatar can be a girl or boy. You can change your appearance and select totally different looks before you enter the game. You can play each time with a brand-new character or use the Save feature to remember where you left off each time you play. The game works like a side-scroller and features a lot of jumping and moving around. Several obstacles require good hand-eye coordination. You begin each island adventure by speaking to the first characters you meet and learning what has happened and how you can help. You then move along until you have finished all the tasks.

There are also multi-user rooms in each island where you can meet other characters in Poptropica and challenge them to battles or just chat using the pre-populated canned chat feature in the game.

Poptropica is a very fun game for kids to play. It is recommended for kids from 6-15 years old and can be a very entertaining diversion.
