Poptropica is a fun website for kids that was launched in September 2011 by the family education Network. Poptropica is aimed at children from age 6 to 15 and exists in an educational format where children play games, tour and review with each other only at a safe level. Though the game's format remains the same, there is a new game (called an island) that changes every so often. Players are given advanced observation when an island will end and a new one is created.

Before 2010, membership fees did not exist. Memberships begin at .95 Us per month for one month; .95 Us for six months; and .95 Us for an annual membership. Prices vary according to what country a player is from - naturally click on the corresponding country and the price for that country will automatically be displayed. Paid members get free access to items in the Poptropica store (but do not own them). They also get early access to new islands. There is a free membership for children; however, their movement within the virtual world is limited. Players can also gain access to special costumes for their avatar and gain exclusive abilities by purchasing Poptropica credits. These toll can also be obtained by completing online games. Poptropica requires a broadband internet connection, at least 512Mb of Ram and the facility of Adobe Flash Player. The game is played straight through Poptropica's website.

The main focus of Poptropica is the avatar's travels straight through the islands that are released throughout the year. These are mini-adventures which effect a plot that regularly involves players solving puzzles, riddles or clues from past historical events that are educational in some manner. Some of the plots may be too complex for younger players, but since there have been a myriad of islands created, there is no shortage of article from which to choose from. In July 2011, Poptropica made all older islands available to players to play again. There are now over 20 islands to choose from.

What's Good

Poptropica is an educational website that will request for retrial generally to children from age 7 to 15. The wide range of request for retrial is generally due to two factors: the absence of graphic violence and non-safe chat; and the educational component and above-average plots of each island. Creating an educational Mmorpg that is a success is a challenge because it must be able to hold the attentiveness of older players who are more than used to adult-themed games. For Poptropica to be a success, the educational component must use humor, light-heartedness and a sophisticated but understandable plot. Poptropica has succeeded in these key areas.

What's Bad

Acquiring merchandise for their avatars and toys face the game may be an issue, but the positives far outweigh this minor negative.

Online Safety

The part of all virtual worlds that get negative marks is online chat. The owners of Poptropica have wisely decided not to go down this path. The only chat available is safe, pre-scripted chat. No personal data about children is ever collected and since there is no chat, it is never shared. A parent is in control when paying and renewing a membership. The safety policy is prominently displayed and written plainly.
