User Safety
Poptropica uses pre-scripted chat which allows players to communicate without sharing personal information. This also keeps the communication profanity free. Character names (such as "Fierce Hippo" or "Magic Feather") are also pre-constructed to prevent any profanity or personal information from entering the virtual world. Players can only interact with each other in special multi-player rooms.
