What Parents Need to Know
About Poptropica
Parents need to know that this very popular virtual world and adventure game is fun, safe, and sometimes educational. Unlike many adventure games, players don't fight, get hurt, lose, or die. Kids can chat using prescripted phrases, and can challenge each other to play simple arcade-style games.

I LOVE poptropica! I started playing it when I was introduced to it by my friend.I love great puzzles that get me frustrated sometimes. I always seem to finish the islands in a week or so. I have three accounts and I love to go over the islands again.

Pity about the ad
Great game which my kids love but I was horrified to see a huge ad for Froot Loops on the site. Unfortunately Adblocker does not block this.
