Poptropica Flash

This wiki is being considered for archival due to inactivity. Please comment on the community portal if you have any objections.

Mar 27, 2018  The bottom line, however, is simple: Poptropica Original was built on Flash, a technology that will no longer be supported by 2020. That’s why Worlds was created to continue the legacy on a newer technology, Unity.

Florian 'Flashy' Fosbury is a character in Escape From Pelican Rock Island. Like most characters in that island, their gender depends on your gender.
