First Ten Finishers of Steamworks Announced

The official Poptropica blog revealed the first ten finishers of Steamworks Island on their blog today. They used to announce them on the official Facebook page but then they closed that page down. I’m glad they started showing the list on the blog! Unfortunately my name’s not up there because like a lot of you I got stuck in some places . Congratulations to Bronze Monster for finishing Steamworks Island before anyone else! This was a tough island. By the way, the official blog claims that Astro-Knights was the hardest island to beat, but then again that might be because it was written by the Binary Bard (a.k.a. Mordred the villain.) I think he has a point: Astro-Knights was tough to beat and to this day has I think the hardest boss fight of all. But the puzzles and challenges in Steamworks were harder I think. If you need help, please check out the walkthrough I created yesterday . There are now both video and written versions available. Having trouble? Leave a question in the comments and you’ll get help pretty quickly.

Scenes from Steamworks

Steamworks Island just came out yesterday and it’s one of the most challenging islands yet on Poptropica. There are many different puzzles and sometimes it takes some really creative thinking to get past some of the obstacles in your way. And of course it’s a lot of fun to play with a few interesting surprises tossed in. Another thing that’s really cool is the scenery. A lot of the artwork and backgrounds are beautiful. The setting of the island is in the steam-powered era of the 1800’s and it has a Steampunk feel about it. Here are some of the scenes you’ll encounter on your quest through the island. Note, to save space I’ve made all of these pictures thumbnails. Click on them to make them bigger. Your arrival in Steamworks Island on Poptropica Inside the Mech Repair Shop in Steamworks Island Fighting one of the boss monsters at the end of Steamworks. You'll flip out over all the great scenery. You'll rescue the citizens and discover why they've been missing. There are machines, levers, cogs and wheels everywhere in Steamworks Island. You'll need a little chemistry to defeat this plant monster.

Steamworks Island is Tough

OK, kudos to the Poptropica Creators for making a really challenging adventure. There have been a couple of spots that have been pretty tricky to solve. And here’s a big admission: I’m stuck. I’ve got quite a bit of the walkthrough completed but I can’t figure out how to get past the alarm system in the greenhouse. When you leave the maintenance closet after setting off the alarm, there’s this water cannon that prevents you from leaving. I can’t get past it and I can’t figure out how to get the key from the robot in the closet without setting off the alarm. Have you figured this part out yet? If so, post a comment with the solution here and you will get my everlasting thanks and some big-time credit when the walkthrough is complete. Can't...get...past...water...cannon. Update: See, this is what I love about the PoptropicaSecrets.com community. You guys rock. I got a response in less than five minutes. Thanks, DR3 !!! The answer, as DR3 points out in the comments below, is to jump up to the glass dome above the closet. There are some (pretty hard to see) cracks in the dome. Use the rubber mallet on those to break out of there. OK, now back to uploading the videos! And now for my great escape.

Inside Sully's Steam-Powered Paraphernalia on Steamworks Island An tunnel maze in Steamworks Island The first screenshot is the inside of Sully’s Steam-Powered Paraphernalia, a shop you’ll visit on Steamworks Island. The official trailer gave us a glimpse of the outside of the shop when it was released. Now you can see what’s inside with this sneak preview. The second screenshot is of some sort of tunnel maze. It looks like you’ll get to navigate it while riding inside a mech. Very cool! Remember that Steamworks Island will be here tomorrow for paid members and then for everyone on September 9. Get ready!

Steamworks Island Trailer

We still don’t have an official launch date for Steamworks Island, but at least the Poptropica Creators have posted a new trailer. Here it is. It’s only a little over a minute long, but you’ll find out a lot of new details and secrets about this newest island quest. The Sprocket robot that they’ve been previewing to us shows up in the video and it looks like you team up with him. Also check out some of the killer plants you’ll have to fight. Cool! The big thing to notice about the new island is the lack of Poptropicans. There are only machines and plants and that’s part of the big mystery we’ll have to solve on this new island quest. Where have all the people gone?

We’re still eagerly waiting for Steamworks Island to be released on Poptropica. No launch dates have been announced, but the Poptropica Creators have been busy posting some sneak peeks and teasers on their Web site. The latest group of posts are about some sort of creature you’ll find on the island. It looks like a little metallic ball with spinning rotors on its top. Here’s what the Binary Bard has to say about it on the blog: Imagine my surprise when I came across a strange-looking machine on Steamworks Island. The place is full of old gears and pulleys and things, but most of it is rusted out and hasn’t been used for years. This one looked a little different — different enough to pique my curiosity. A sprocket from Poptropica Steamworks Island They don’t reveal much about it but if you look at the filename of the images, you’ll see that it’s called Sprocket . I guess we’ll just have to wait to learn more!

New Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book Coming

This week, Greg Heffley, the lead character from Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, has been hanging out on Main Street on all of the islands. Earlier this week if you clicked on him, he would tell you to come back on Thursday to see the cover of the new book. Well it’s Thursday and now you can see it. Find Greg on Main Street on any of the islands and click on him. A few seconds later, the book cover will appear. It looks like the latest book will be called, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth . Greg also tells you that the book comes out on November 9. I like the book series but I was hoping that Poptropica would have done something a little more exciting than just have Greg standing around and showing off a book cover. Greg shows off the cover of his new book in Poptropica.
