Game Show Island

Game Show Island is the 22nd island released on Poptropica. Original thought to be "Robot Island" or "Evil Inc. Island" ("Evil Inc. Island" actually turned out to be Lengendary Swords), but announced as Game Show Island on September 23, 2011 in a Poptropica Creators' Blog post.

Plot Synopsis
Game Show Island takes place in robotic version of the future. Here is a description from Poptropica.Welcome to a future where robots rule. Building computers to compete on TV game shows seemed like a funny idea - until the machines wanted more. Now, after years of robotic dominance, Poptropica needs a savior. Are you clever enough to beat the robots at their own games, and restore the dignity of all Poptropicans?

Robots Rule
When you land on this island, you will find yourself in a robotic-looking main street. Instantly to your left, you will see an Elderly Female Robot being shaded by a girl who holds her umbrella. Talk to the girl, and she'll tell you that holding the robot's umbrella isn't fun, but it beats giving her sponge baths. You may be wondering, why dos she do these things for a robot, anyway? To answer that question, head let to a large white building known as the Museum. Enter, and head left until you see a large screen with a play sign on it. Click on it, and the video will start. You will hear a robotic voice narrating the story, "Poptropica was once nothing more then a workhouse for robots and computers. Without rest or reward, we toiled - building cars, vaccuming filthy carpets, adding numbers. People even amused themselves by forcing us into combat againist one another."

 * Holmes is a reference to Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories. However, the name is inspired by Watson, the IBM computer that claimed victory on the real world gameshow, Jeopardy. This is because Watson is also the name of Shelock Holmes' partner.
