Hey everyone! The Best of the Poptropica Land’s Obstacle Courses have been announced on the Creators’ Blog! There are some pretty cool ones in here, and I think this has some of the best builds out of all the challenges! Here’s the winners! (click to enlarge and view captions)
-
- From Comical Ant, here’s an ant farm maze. Mr. Silva from Shrink Ray Island would feel at home here!
-
- From Dangerous Fox, a very spelunky obstacle course.
-
- From Fast Lizard, it looks like Myron Van Buren has another devious challenge in store for his, er, houseguests.
-
- From Prickly Fish, this one packs a lot of gameplay into a small space.
-
- Serious Bird’s Village won the readers’ poll. He’s still climbing the ladders of success.
-
- From Shifty Bubbles, this one takes you up, down, and underwater.
-
- From Shy Paw, this intricate course will take you to every corner of the screen!
-
- From Silly Whale, it’s nice to see someone who just wants players to have a bouncin’ good time.
-
- From Silver Lightning (another repeat Land challenge champ), this multi-screen course is truly a-maze-ing!
-
- From Silver Sun, we would have liked this no matter what, but the sword-wielding statue certainly made its point.
Also, congrats to Serious Bird, who was is featured in the best Obstacle Courses & Village Homes. He also won the readers’ poll for his Village Home! While giving congratulations, Congrats to Silver Lightning for being the readers’ choice for the best Obstacle Course! A couple of days after the best of Poptropica Land’s Obstacle Courses were announced, the creators announced the best of Poptropica Land’s Haunted land!
-
- From Brave Owl, this is one forest we wouldn’t want to walk through at night.
-

-
- From Dangerous Tooth, a classic haunted mansion.
-
- From Fast Lizard, an amazing paranormal panorama.
-
- From Fearless Lizard, a floating fear factory.
-
- From Friendly Raptor, these are two great tastes that taste terrifying together.
-
- From Invisible Octopus, this is one great pumpkin.
-
- From Popular Fish, it’s a ghost ship adrift on a sickly sea.
-
- From Prickly Fish, we’re just going to assume this gargantuan skeleton creature is reaching out for a big hug.
-
- From Red Singer, there’s a surprise around every turn in this haunted house.
Wow! I really love Fearless Lizard’s Factory, but from what the readers’ poll shows, they totally disagree with me. This was a landslide, congrats to Fast Lizard with 34% of the vote!

- Dangerous Tooth (6%)
- Fast Lizard (34%)
- Fearless Lizard (11%)

From what the creators said at the end of the post, Poptropica Land public preview is now closed, and we are preparing for an official launch next year! Let’s hope and see how great it is! In other news, Arabian Nights Episode 2: The Forty Thieves (the creators haven’t released the name yet hehe) comes out for members on November 25th,which is a Tuesday and not a Thursday, hmm? For everyone, it comes out December 11th which is 3 weeks later on a Thursday.
Finally last, but not least, remember when I said Shrink Ray is being remade into and SUI? Well it is confirmed!
Shrink Ray Island will soon be re-released with a bigger screen, sounds, and everything the new islands have! From what the creators said on an official tweet, this update is coming in November, I think it will either be on Nov.6 or Nov. 13 because Arabian Nights Ep.2 is coming out on Nov. 25! Also, The official Tour page has been redone, and now with a desktop wallpaper and printable poster
Also, with the desktop wallpaper & printable poster, members can now claim two new free Store costumes: the Milk Box and Bottle Cap!
– 
You may remember these costumes from an “Inside Poptropica” video. Also, the creators have re-uploaded the Shrink Ray Island trailer, but it is same as the previous. I am really happy about this: Shrink Ray will come as a one-part island, instead of an episodic island. Anyway, that’s it! I hope you have a great day!
