This is easy. Any old blockhead can design games!

Mocktropica is the 37th island released on Poptropica, being released for members on December 19, 2013 and for non-members on January 16, 2014. In it, you help to find all of the Poptropica employees in order to finish an island Poptropica is working on.

Trivia

 * This island seems to contain many references to previous islands, including a shark statue from Shark Tooth Island, the Hair Club from Spy Island, a Greek statue from Mythology Island, a cactus from Wild West Island, and the sewage from Super Power Island.
 * This is the first island to "break the fourth wall" in the sense that they directly address the fact that Poptropica takes place in a computer game.
 * The Common Room sign somewhat reads "The Blue Locust, est. 2007" which is the year Poptropica got released.
 * The cake that you receive after testing is a reference from the popular video game franchise, Portal. It's a Black Forest cake.
 * One of the Creators in the basement says that "All work and no play just makes me want to curl up and cry". This could be a reference to The Binding of Isaac.
 * The third floor of Poptropica HQ has a sign advertising “Sports Nectar, Poptropica’s favorite sports drink” – first seen on Cryptids Island.
 * The trash can has many rejected villains inspired by villains from popular islands. There is a blueprint with "Return of the Balloon Boy on it, referencing Spy Island, and a script that says Monster Carnival circled with a "NOPE". This is a reference to the originally scrapped Monster Carnival.
 * Inside the basement, the paper on the wall has the infamous Konami Code.
 * The climber claims that he's tired of Poptropica and that he'll go climb a mountain over at "Walrus Den" or something.This may be a reference to Club Penguin.
 * The scene where you break the loading scene with your head is an obvious reference to Super Mario Bros.
 * The woman at the end claims the island would not be finished without a "Poptropica-styled twist. A main villain who has been hiding in plain sight all along." This is a reference to Spy Island, Counterfeit Island and Super Villain Island, which all have a similar plot twist.
 * The names Billy Jordan and Lance Pitcher refer to the actual Creators of Poptropica, Jordan Leary and Jon Pitcher respectively.
 * Inside of the Cheese Factory, there is a poster that says "We Can Moo It!" It is an obvious reference to the WWII Propoganda Poster that says, "We Can Do It!"
 * This is the first (and last) island to feature achievements.
 * In response to you asking if you can cross the gorge,the Safety Inspector quotes the famous line "You shall not pass!" from Lord Of The Rings.
