Poptropica is a massively multiplayer online game and virtual world in which children ages 6 to 15 can travel, play games, compete in head-to-head competition, and communicate safely with each other.

Poptropica was developed by the Family Education Network[1], a division of Pearson, which also owns kids’ site funbrain.com.

Characters / Citizens / Poptropicans

When players first arrive at Poptropica, they are given a character avatar they can either customize immediately, or modify while playing[2]. Once a player enters the Poptropica virtual world, they can choose an island they want to explore. Currently, there are four virtual islands on Poptropica.

User Safety

Poptropica uses safe, kid-friendly, prescripted chat[3].

Character names are also pre-constructed to prevent any profanity or personal information from entering the world.

Island Synopsis

Early Poptropica Island

Early Poptropica was the first island created for the game. Players encounter the original settlers of Early Poptropica who are in distress. They are 80’s style characters[4] who are missing items from their village. In order to find them, the player has to explore the island while encountering mischievous characters like the giant in the sky, or the slimy spider!

Shark Tooth Island[5]

Shark Tooth Island was the second island released in Poptropica. The scenario revolves around the inhabitants of the island that are having big shark trouble. The player must help the citizens by completing quests within the island, and subduing the giant shark with a special concoction.

Time Tangled Island[6]

This is the third island released for Poptropica. The scenario revolves around a malfunctioning time machine that has distorted history. It is the player’s job to go back in time and set things right. During the quest, users encounter major historical figures such as Thomas Edison, Lewis and Clark, Leonardo Da Vinci, etc. This island was created in conjunction with the editors of Fact Monster to maintain historical accuracy.

24 Carrot[7]

This is fourth the island released on Poptropica. The Poptropicans on 24 Carrot Island are in trouble. Someone has stolen all their carrots, citizens are disappearing, and the economy has become bankrupt. The user must solve the mystery of the missing carrots and citizens in order to save the island.
