This page explains in detail the interactions between the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and the Poptropica series.
Poptropica Wimpy Wonderland Island[]
2011
Poptropica
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
The 18th island in Poptropica is Wimpy Wonderland Island, and is based on the book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever. The goal of this island is to find Greg's missing brother, Manny. The island has many characters from the book, such as Greg, Rowley, Manny, and the Whirley Street Kids, and it takes place in Greg's neighborhood. There is a Twisted Wizard minigame that the player can play on this island. In addition, this island is shown in the style of the books, which are black and white.
Poptropica Wimpy Boardwalk Island[]
2012
Poptropica
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
The 28th island in Poptropica is Wimpy Boardwalk Island, and is based on the book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days. The goal of this island is to get back Greg's stolen twenty dollars. The island has characters such as Greg and Rowley, and takes place on the boardwalk from the book. The minigames on the island will give the player a jumbo prize from the book if they win them all. Unlike the previous Diary of a Wimpy Kid island, this island has colour, which may be a reference to the movie version that came out near this island's release. In addition, there is a bonus quest that can be played after completing this island that has the player play Thunder Volt.

Both Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Poptropica were created by Jeff Kinney, so he likely allowed the islands to be made.
