LEGO CUUSOO -- to 7,500!

The march to 10,000 supporters of our LEGO CUUSOO project continues. As I write this post, we are almost 2/3 of the way there, which is good, but not good enough. We can do better!

Once again, the call goes out: we've got a free item waiting in the wings if we can just make it to 7,500 supporters. That's a little over a thousand additional supporters from where we are as I write this post.

Can you help us get our LEGO CUUSOO project to 10,000 supporters? Remember, you need to be over 13 to vote yourself, but you can always conscript a helpful friend or relative to cast a vote for you. And then everyone will be able to get the free item once we reach 7,500.

Let's get going!

Announcing the next Poptropica Island!

We're thrilled to announce the next great adventure coming to Poptropica.

Virus Hunter Island!

Somewhere in Poptropica, an unknown citizen harbors within his bloodstream a dangerous new virus. Your mission: locate Patient Zero, and eradicate the disease before it spreads. Prepare for a perilous journey to the most far-out place of all -- inside the human body!

It's the biggest and best (or maybe smallest and spiffiest?) Poptropica Island ever! To learn more, visit the Virus Hunter Island info page.

Are you a pop quiz whiz?

Have you been keeping up with your pop quizzes lately? No, not the lame ones that your teachers make you take. The fun ones that you can take on Poptropica!

When you log in with your existing Poptropica username, you'll be greeted with a new quiz every day. These questions will get to the very core of who you are. You may end up knowing yourself a little better because of them. Maybe you never thought before today about whether or not you find clowns scary. But looking at those pictures up there, the answer's obvious, isn't it?

So head over to Poptropica and start sharing your unique personality with the world!

A tribute to the moms of Poptropica

Mother's Day is this weekend, and we'd like to take the opportunity to give thanks to one of the hardest-working Poptropica characters around: the beleaguered mom.

On Astro-Knights Island, the queen has no idea that her daughter has run off into outer space with a crazed inventor.

On Shark Tooth Island, this poor mom is separated from her son by the fearsome Booga Shark.

On Shrink Ray Island, C.J.'s mom couldn't possibly imagine that her brilliant daughter is the size of a tiny insect.

On Vampire's Curse Island, Katya's mom always knew that Christopher was no good. But did Katya listen? Of course not.

Of course, some moms have it a little easier. On Wimpy Wonderland, Greg Heffley's mom returns home after the adventure is over, and is none the wiser. Thank goodness for that.

Here's to all the moms in Poptropica, and all the mothers everywhere!

Fan art!

Poptropican "Cool Crown" sent us this lifelike rendering of our own Dr. Hare. I can't even tell which one is the drawing and which one's the plush. The "harey" pun is the icing on the cake.

Thanks, Cool Crown!
