Get extra credits on GHD Island on Poptropica!

Hi everyone! Do you know the super-cool online game, Poptropica? It's a virtual world created by Diary of a Wimpy Kid author Jeff Kinney. It's so fun! Me and Princess Dagger play it all the time!

Within the world of Poptropica there are islands, and each island has its own theme and adventure to complete. You can learn more about Poptropica in this blog post, and check out this video that shows off our very own Galactic Hot Dogs Island!

Poptropica is so excited about The Wiener Strikes Back that they're celebrating our book release with us: When you finish an island for the first time in Poptropica, you get 150 credits to spend in the Poptropica Store -- but this weekend you'll get 300 credits when you finish GHD Island! And if you've finished GHD Island before, you get 150 credits for finishing it again. SO COOL!

These extra credits are only happening through this weekend, so get going and play -- you'll love it!

Happy Friday,

The Neon Wiener has crash landed on Poptropica!

You guys know that there's a Galactic Hot Dogs Island on the way-cool online game and app, Poptropica, right? (If you don't know what Poptropica is, read this post.)

Well, right now, on any Island's Main Street (that's where you start out), you'll find the Neon Wiener has crash landed! If you go inside our ship, you'll be able to talk to the crew, customize your costume with Galactic Hot Dogs outfits, and even get in a shootout with some Jacks!

So cool! Go check it out -- Poptropica is awesome. Me, Dags, and Humphree love it and if you haven't played it yet, I bet you'll totally dig it!

Later gators,

Galactic Hot Dogs is an online game and app!

Hey everyone! I bet you all play games online and on phones, right? Well, did you know that you can play a Galactic Hot Dogs game online AND on an app? 

It's true, and it's WAY COOL!

Here's the deal. There's this game called Poptropica, which is this awesome virtual world where kids can play in a safe online environment -- and the Poptropica geniuses created something called Galactic Hot Dogs Island that you can play in Poptropica!

I bet you're wondering what the heck a Poptropica Island is. Well, within the world of Poptropica there are these Islands that all have their own themes and adventures to complete. There's a couple Wimpy Kid Islands, a Mythology Island, Reality TV Island, and tons more!

So basically, you create your own little Poptropica character and then you're off to explore any Island you want. There are super-cool quests, stories, and games, and you can collect objects, read digital books and comics, watch movies, and compete in head-to-head competition with other Poptropicans.

Check out this cool video to get an idea of what GHD Island is all about:

There's also a Poptropica app and GHD Island is on that, too! Look at my Poptropican talking to Humphree!

Check out this Galactic Hot Dogs Island info page where you can get fun stuff like desktop wallpaper, a Neon Wiener paper craft, and a free F.R.E.D. follower (a "follower" in Poptropica is a little dude who follows your Poptropica character around). You can also watch a walkthrough of the island, which is super helpful if you’ve never played Poptropica before.

Go check it out -- I bet you'll love it! I'm playing the app right now (but don't tell Humphree cause he thinks I'm making a batch of mustard).

Stay awesome,
Cosmoe

Jeff Kinney gets psyched about Galactic Hot Dogs!

Hey you guys! Do you know who Jeff Kinney is? You probably do. He’s the author of the best-selling Wimpy Kid books and the creator of Poptropica. Did you know that the original Wimpy Kid book was actually first published on Funbrain.com, the online home of Galactic Hot Dogs Book One (and on 4/6, Book Two)? If you go to the Funbrain homepage, you’ll see both books there under “Books and Comics!”

Jeff is also about to be a bookseller, too — he’s opening a way-cool bookstore in May called An Unlikely Story. It’ll be in Plainville, Massachusetts. If you live anywhere near there, you should go check it out!

Anyway, the Galactic Hot Dogs book crew are obviously big fans of Jeff, so they made sure to send him a special GHD care package. He sent us a fun picture when he got it. I think he’s kinda psyched about the book!

I hope you like my book as much as I like Galactic Hot Dogs Island on Poptropica, Jeff! Oh, and those Wimpy Kid books aren’t so bad, either. ;-)

And you guys, if you haven’t yet, definitely check out Jeff’s Wimpy Kid website for lots of cool stuff. It’s awesomesauce!

Have a great weekend,

Totally rad Galactic Hot Dogs fan art!

Hi you guys! Today I’m going to show you some amazing art done by Galactic Hot Dogs fans! I found this stuff while surfing the Intergalactic Internet, and I was so psyched that I had to share it with you.

This way-cool art was done by a Poptropican. If you don’t know what Poptropica is, read this blog post. Basically it’s a super awesome online game that has cool “Islands” to play, and there’s even a Galactic Hot Dogs Island! A Poptropican named Serious Bird created this in Realms, where you can build your own worlds:

This one is pretty amazing. It’s by a fan named SailorStar64, and she created this drawing of Dags and me:

And finally, I don't know who did these cool drawings, but it seems like the artist created a Galactic Hot Dogs logo in Spanish. Sweet!

Fan art is the coolest. Seriously. Whenever I find some more, I’ll post it here!

See ya later,
