Poptropica

Has been my comfort game for 12 years now. Never gets old. More importantly, to anybody wondering "where the old islands are", please, look into downloading Flashpoint Infinity. It's an archival software for all games that ran on Adobe Flashplayer before it shut down. Poptropica is on there too, you just need to follow a guide on how to get it working. Look it up on the Poptropica Help Blog. There are many other resources that provide information for this, too.

I wish there was a way to post a neutral review instead of strictly thumbs-up or thumbs-down, because that's truly how I feel about this game. Unfortunately, this is not the Poptropica that most people who grew up with the game will remember. There are only 17 islands, which were the "new" islands that were written in a different code from the originals that ran on Flash. While some of the older islands (24 Carrot, Time Travel, Mythology, etc) were preserved in this format and are playable on the Steam version, the vast majority of what the average player would be nostalgic for is completely removed. Additionally, it has been confirmed that at least one island (Mythology) was simplified and shortened, so it's not even the original experience you would expect while playing it. It is incredibly disappointing that despite being launched through Steam, there are zero functional social features present in the game. No Steam achievements correlating to in-game progress, the common areas you used to be able to meet up with your friends in (there isn't even an in-game friends list anymore!) don't work, no mini games, etc. Despite this, for whatever reason, the game requires you to be online/be on wifi in order to play it even if it is already installed to your computer. Almost all of the previous cosmetic items that were available to purchase in the in-game store are gone. There are, however, cosmetic items available that are themed after islands WE CAN'T PLAY. Additionally, some of the cosmetic items don't layer correctly (there are multiple skirts that you can see your character's legs through). Despite all of this, I'm glad that even this small portion of the game has been preserved and is still playable. I love that you can log in with your old/childhood accounts and they still work! The islands that ARE in the game have zero bugs (at least that I've encountered), and as a Mac user, it honestly shocked me that the game runs as smoothly as it does. If you would like to play through the more "modern" era of the game, I would recommend this game wholeheartedly if you can get it on sale (seriously, $20 for an incomplete game is insane). But for anyone who wants to play the 30+ islands and mini adventures that are missing... I'd just download Flashpoint instead.

It doesn't have a lot of the original islands and you can't play it full screen no matter how much you tinker and try, you are better of saving your money and downloading Flashpoint where you can play the game for free in all it's original glory or if you are like me and still have your DS and 3DS those game cards are still available. The game itself lags too and glitches out if you are running to fast. And you can't screen grab everyone and anyone's clothes either! It's just all bad! I spent $20 on this non-nostalgic, broken ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

Abandoned with no updates, wild charging this much with almost none of the og islands

the other reviews are right, a real letdown if you want the Poptropica you remember, search "Flashpoint Poptropica" on google, it has everything you remember, but its a little buggy atm, as of 9/1/2026

it doesn't have all 50 islands, and the money goes to the people who made it this way instead of the original developers. Many features don't work cuz the servers are down. $20? do you realize how many WAY better games you could get for 10$?

You need to bring back wild west. Spent 20 dollars just to play wild west and get a horse and find gold and to get the cattle in the fence and all that like back in the day. Wont be playing until its back.
