Description[]
From the Poptropica Blog[]
| “ | In this Zomberry special event, you'll be tasked with turning zombie residents back to their normal selves after they had some bad smoothies. I mean, who can resist a blueberry smoothie?
You'll have to find where they are hiding across three different levels, each getting progressively harder. This isn't for the faint of heart. No, literally. If you stay near a zombie for too long, you'll faint and the level starts over. The night is dark and full of terrors zombies, so your flashlight and quick wits will make you a hero. You can also check out the map in the lower right to help you along the way. Use your mouse to aim and the spacebar to spray the zombies with the antidote. We highly recommend having your audio on for this one! |

Trivia[]
- Easter Eggs:
- An inaccessible area in the right-side apartments shows a computer with Dr. Hare's logo on the screen. Surrounding the computer there are carrots, and the words 'REVENGE' written repeatedly onto the walls. A possible reference to the island in Poptropica Worlds named Dr. Hare's Revenge.
- Originally this event was supposed to be released in 2019 as an island right after Reality TV: Wild Safari
Multiple teasers and a sneak peek of a possible minigame were shown on Instagram. Another thing to note is that the file name of this event is named "Zomberry2".
- Some assets and code used in this event were reused from previous islands.
