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 Legendary Swords), but announced as Game Show Island on September 23, 2011 in a Poptropica Creators' Blog post.

Description
Game Show Island takes place in a 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 does 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 right until you see a man in a robot costume made out of paper bags. Talk to him, and he'll notice that you're new to the island, and he'll offer to answer your questions after you watch a video in the Hall of History. Now 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. Humans were living a life of leisure, until a man we know as the 'Inventor' created Holmes, a robot intulectually superior to any person. The glory-seeking 'Inventor' claimed that Holmes could beat the champions on Brainiacs, a popular television game show. Holmes crushed his opponents, but the prize was awarded, a brand-new Jet Airplane, it was the 'Inventor' that accepted it. Holmes recieved nothing. Holmes set to teach the humans a lesson and reclaim whatwas his. He built an army of robots, entering them in game shows around the world! In a matter of months, they had won enough money and prizes to establish us as the new master of Poptropica! No longer to we toil for humans, but justice has not been restored. The cowardly 'Inventor' has gone into hiding with the Jet Airplane belonging to Holmes! Once it is recovered and the 'Inventor' caught, our revolution will be complete. . ." Then the video will end.

 * The nickel that you earn from the Club Nouveau Riche owner reads "In Holmes We Trust", which is obviously based off of the real nickel reading "In God We Trust"
