The value story

It has gone on sale once in the 4 years tracked here, most recently in December 2022. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 198 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 90 percent. On the same math Hoa ($14.99, scores 59) and Thank Goodness You're Here! ($19.99, scores 66) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

Got this game for fun! It doesn't have all the islands like I've heard flashpoint does, but I prefer playing on steam with the islands given. Super nostalgic playing though and it has realms/pets/inventory items that cool-math games doesn't, would recommend!

I love Poptropica. But given the state of the game overall and the state of this version in particular. I can't recommend it.
