  1. Hey guys, me again to show you a new glitch.

    1. Go to any island

    2. Hold Ctrl+Shift+2

    Your head should be off of your neck, when you release the buttons, you’ll start crying.

    1. I had finished the haunted house mini quest. I costumized the hood from the undertaker guy and the outfit of the red vampire lady with weird ears. I then traveled and went to home island. From home island the adventurer guy with all of the stuff in his pack was completely costumizable except for the map, which was really strange. From there I went to my friends list and ALL of my friends were either dummies or had no faces. I was so weirded out I took a screenshot. Unfortunately, none of them were costumizable. It may be because I have 167 friends. most of them are because I typed in random usernames, and some are from the avatar studio glitch page, including almost all of the dummies.

  2. Slanted Fish! I found a good way around the members-only closet. If you have a different outfit in every photo you can use it like a closet.

    Slanted Fish: That’s true, but non-members can only view a limited portion of their own photo albums.

    1. If you customize someone on an SUI and hit “Save to closet,” your outfit will be saved to your closet no matter what your membership status. That’s what I always do. It has to be an SUI, though.

      1. That only works sometimes. Other times it says “Save up to 30 outfits in your closet with membership!”
        I friended all of the people on the list in the art link. One was wearing a COSTUMIZABLE blue satyr costume. Score!
        I also like how on SUI islands you can save outfits to your closet, but nonmembers just can only costumize one of them. That way you can show off your old outfits to your friends, even if you might not be able to wear them again.

      1. that’s a glitch for making a closet if you’re a non-member.i use it all the time and it works fine

  3. Another glitch. Go to the green spider on early poptropica island. when you see him press ctrl-shift-z and you can control the spider.

  4. Has anyone had this happen to them:
    You go into a common room and click “customize” on someone, and Afro Guy pops up in the window instead. His eyes change positions, from wide to relaxed to “dummy” to upside-down-relaxed to “zomberry”. You can customize anything on him except the eyes! I have no idea how to prompt it.

  5. i found a way to customise the afro guy!
    1. go to your photos
    2. whiile the photo is still grey (loading), click on the coustomise button
    3. the afro guy will be wearing a white singlet and black trousers, just like Mocktropica!

    1. Hi there. Forgive me for commenting on someone’s completely random comment, I’m still trying to figure this out. Here’s my problem:
      I downloaded the iPop file, and it downloaded as a folder. I compressed the folder into a zip file and then ended up decompressing it. I found the .jar file (I’m on a Mac) in the folder and opened it, only for it to give me an error message saying I needed to download a JDK. I fixed that problem by updating my java software, but NOW when I try to open the .jar file, I get a message saying the following:
      “The Java JAR file “iPop-r4.jar” could not be launched.
      Chech the console for possible error messages.”
      Needless to say, this is pretty darn frustrating. I’m not quite sure how to fix this problem, especially because I don’t know how to check my hard drive (I’m not the most tech savvy), and all in all it’s just been a difficult process. Any ideas of what I should do?
      Thanks!

    1. Cat glitch?! Does it turn you into a cat?? If so, then it is what I’m looking for! Hasta la vista, I’m off to become a cat! (Just a side note… WHAT THE HECK IS A CAT GLITCH????)
      (°~°) does it make me a cat?
      (^_^) I ♡ cats
      (⊙_⊙) TELL MEH!!!
      (°_°) wait you just said it no work
      (¤~¤) what the heck I don’t care what is it?!
      (●-●) I don’t want my curiosity to kill a cat! I like cats!!

  6. Um, I have something…it’s not really a glitch, but I found it cool. If you have gum, click on your friends list and press space bar to blow a bubble. Immediately click back to game, and the bubble will be there.

  7. I did some of your glitches,and now I can’t travel or costumize!Do any of you have this problem,or know how to fix it?

  8. If you go to Shark Tooth Island, then go on top of the Tourism Center, there will be a Greek guard. If you click on him, he will reference the original name for time Tangled Island!

  9. I want to keep my fragrance on all the time!
    You know, the one from Night Watch Island? Are there any glitches that will do that?

  10. i have a glitch! to float on mocktropica island first you go next to ephriam university jump on the umbrella and hit the top of the screen and you will float for a few seconds!

  11. if you go to 24 carrot island while wearing the magician your hair will blink and disapear

    1. Is B.A.D. back, having sabotaged the Magician costume? Dun dun duuuunnn!! Spies are everywhere.. B.A.D., very bad.
      I WORK SO HARD ON SPY ISLAND AND DIS HAPPENS?? REALLY?!?
      ..(⊙_○) /

      《 》

  12. These glitches are cool, but sometimes if you click repeatedly on a character that is trying to shoo you away, your character will go into a frenzy and start to act up. When this is happening, your cursor will have the arrows spinning; as if it is loading on bad wifi connection.

  13. hey guys it’s not official but i found a glitch that i’d like for you to at least take the time to try if so than first you press shift, ctrl, and 3 but don’t let your character finish this emote intersect it by pressing shift, ctrl, and 1 but repetitively press this every second to continue

  14. lolz is dis even possible? you know how your name genarates like quickstar or messy speck? mine genarated with one word, star… plz answer

    Slanted Fish: It’s a glitch that happens occasionally. 😛

  15. glitch!

    1. go to mocktropica

    2. get the cheese curds

    3.equip them

    4.go do an ad activity

    5. go to a new island

    you still have the cheese curds in your hands!

  16. Did u know that there is a glitch to get under the mountains in Time Tangled Island? just go by the 2nd metal bar and walk on it a few time (YES you will get it) then BAM your under

  17. In Spy Island go to the first floor eye glass store and use your grappling hook to get on the shelf, next click on the bomb under the table on the top floor and he will jump though the second floor and follow you on the first floor another glitch. And in Twisted Thicket When you are underwater you go to the second pillar and swim under it, and go to the right and there is a hole down there and that’s another glitch.

  18. Another glitch… you must have completed Mythology Island for this glitch.

    1. Buy the atom power from the store.

    2. Turn on the atom power in your inventory

    3. Put on Hades Crown in your inventory.

    4. Press spacebar to send out a shockwave of atom.

    5. The person standing NEXT TO YOU will now have the atom power as well.

  19. Once when I was on Nabooti Island i was in the pyramid and after trying (and failing) to do the hieroglyph thing i fell through the ground and couldn’t get up at all until i automaticly went to another island! it was awful!

  20. On the item URL item database, there are new ones from survival! The newest one is this:
    3349 Ghillie costume ( I think. you can’t see the thing in full view so I think that’s what it is.)
    Go here: http://static.poptropica.com/items/item3349.swf

    Slanted Fish: The Ghillie Suit was recently released for members; I made a post about it here. 🙂

  21. enter the great hall (Vampire’s cruse island) click the candle and exit the great hall now you will be holding the candle.

  22. In the poptropica SWF cheat/code/glitch, I cant seem to get the stuff. How do you ge the stuff?

  23. OR.. add hi.juyo and get the mouth and go to a SUI and press CTRL-SHIFT-S [replace CTRL with Command if you have a mac.] and ta-da!

  24. I have a really cool glitch!
    Enter the train on Mystery Train Island. Go into the bathroom inside of the train. There should be a stall. Click on that and the doors will open. Then jump onto the toilet seat.Then click on the doors again to make them close and your character will suddenly diessapear, and seconds later fall from the sky!!

  25. I’ve got this poptropica mouth that doesn’t stop moving and also a hair that electries and moves around without ever stopping. I’m happy i’ve got the terminator metal face before it wasn’t allowed anymore 😀 I ain’t telling my username for you to add me and copy me 😀

      1. I gots a goods outfits gets it nows. I has bads de grammarzes tho and bads of spelling

        Whatever. That was faked. I have an awesome outfit toooo! But I am a girl avatar. But check out my mouth! And have you seen the eyes? Nope, cause if you don’t give me your username, THEN TOO BAD YOU WON’T GET IT. SO FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD, AND FOR ITS INTRINSIC VALUE, HAND IT OVER!!! Plez!
        (•-•)/

  26. I’ve found a new glitch!!!!!!!!!! In Survival, go to the log. The one that has the big hole. Go to the side and jump over it. You’ll land under the log and you can walk on air!!!!! I’m not sure if it’ll work for everyone, though.

  27. hi for the cat dog robot trick to customise the cat or the thing do you have to scroll our friends tab or scroll their quizzes? pleeeeaaaase reply

  28. I know a really cool glitch. So first, beat time tangled island and then go to the future after you save the world and then keep going from one room to another until at the bottom where you start will be a guy with big glasses. costumize his glasses and you will have no mouth and it dosen’t replace your charcture with fsdummy’s.

    1. Go to home island and go to the place where in front there’s a girl standing w/scissors. Unfortunatly, I haven’t checked this yet.

  29. i have a question… after you enter a user in the avatar studio, how do you refresh poptropica?

    Slanted Fish: You’re supposed to have Poptropica on a separate tab. Refresh it after entering the username on Avatar Studio.

    1. F5 ctrl r or apple r to refresh. if none of those work, then look at the far right of the url mentioned bar. there should be a arrow forming a circle. click and it will refresh. hope this helps! but also the glitch is patched but i got to do it one last time 🙂

  30. i got a new glitch
    1.Get any tribe (can’t be flying squids)
    2.then go to mocktropica
    3TADA your tribe hat changes to flying squids

  31. Hey, I dunno if this still works, but once when i did ctrl+shift+f5 i could fly

    1. Hey, your avatar could become an ASG for the Headless Horseman!
      Ohhhhh.. not helpin’, right?
      (⊙ •⊙)/
      Wrong. Look at the bright side! Best ASG ever!
      (^-^)/

  34. NEW GLITCH: LOGIN TO poptropica Open a new tab go in the avater studio and type in NowUraPirate and LOAD IT And go back to poptropica refresh and say CANCEL and u’ll have The Monster Carnival X monster costume

  35. on mac, command+shift+s saves a picture so i cant change m skin color and im hot pink. halp.

  36. in mac if you press command+h, it takes you to home page. Someone please tell me how to change this

  37. If you enter keithsammut8 into the avatar studios and then refresh your page on poptropica you will get that costume (director d hair, dog face, dynamite stick)

    Also, if you see the mini robots e.g. keithsammut or everything 173 closet, you can click on the head of the robot and you will receive the mouth the poptropican is wearing no matter what

  38. I found a glitch, its awesome!
    1. Make a new character
    2. Save and make the username start with npc: (for example: npc:npc)
    3. Now, when someone friends you:
    Your profile will not show up, never will! (Such as daily quizzes, island medallions, etc)
    Your star will be green instead of yellow.
    You cannot remove the star, they will remain at the front of your page.
    4. Vi-ola! You may play as a normal poptropican but your friends wont see you as one!
    Don’t believe me? Friend npc: qb which is my npc account!

  39. Hmm… try costumizing the bard princess hat or the princess hat and go on an SUI (It was on MockTropica for me) and the veil on your hat will appear as gnats following you around!

  40. Anyone! I need 411!
    Sometime last year my account was hacked and I was turned into a random character with a purple pirate hat on. My gender was changed as well. Now I can’t costumize any of the clothes I want because they aren’t the right gender! Has this happened to anyone else? How can I use a code to switch my gender? The costumize anything glitch doesn’t work for me. Please help!

    -Epcot22 🙂

  41. if you go to time tangled while holding the cheese curds, if you jump with the glider, then throw a curd in midair then you will be propelled up (I only tried it on Main street, so it may not work anywhere else)

  42. Are there any other promo codes?

    Slanted Fish: The ones that aren’t expired are listed on this page.

  43. Found something in Early Poptropica Island..
    At Poptropica Towers, you will see “Pigments”
    When you click one of the balloons, your Poptropican skin colour will change to the colour that you have clicked

  44. I wanna be a girl, again….
    I tried the no mouth glitch when using the avatar studio…
    Is there any other way besides contacting Poptropica, It would seem risky..

    Slanted Fish: Refer to the ‘gender swap’ glitch listed with the no mouth glitch. 😛

    1. ASG metalgirl9 …. I think. And don’t worry, cause if you don’t try new stuff then you’ll go around in life looking for the easy way out. If it gets drastic, if it comes to it, contact creators.

  45. there is a bad glitch in spy island when I enter the top room in the glasses shop I end up in the main shop instead! please help

    Slanted Fish: If you haven’t passed the eye test, you won’t be allowed in the top room. See the PHB’s Spy Island Guide for more help. 😉

  46. Fishy, please respond I think I found a glitch. On the SUI’s, (or at least 24 carrot), when you make your character push against a wall, instead of pushing as usual they do this weird thing with their heads. Kinda like the chicken head except side to side lol. It only worked on some walls though.

    Slanted Fish: You can report glitches like that to Poptropica so they can fix them. 😛

      1. Is that profile pic your outfit….?
        ( ) ( ) Give me your username! Now!! PLEZ!!
        (⊙-⊙)/
        € €)
        (“) (“)>

  47. it didnt work when i tried to be boy i clicked cancel and it did nothing

    Slanted Fish: Try clicking the other option, not cancel.

What's popping, Poptropicans?
