  1. For me ctrl+shift+h checks website history (ones visited)? Is there a bug in my computer, or does the cheat just not work for me, PHB?

    Scary Tomato: “Ctrl + Shift + H” isn’t a code listed here. There’s nothing wrong.

    1. uhh yeah there is look:
      Ctrl + Shift + H | Change your character’s hair color. (At first it may just show some computer history, but click on the Poptropica screen once and press “H” only and it’ll change hair color.) (Credit to Lyon, comment #111 on Cheat Codes)

      1. That’s kind I like posting about a new post on the Creator’s blog when someone has done it already. That’s only my opinion though-Scary Tomato will tell you if it’s okay or not.

        P.S. Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to be bossy.

    2. I think you’ll need to press Ctrl+Shift+H then close the website history. After you’ve done that press Ctrl+Alt+H.

  2. Why is it some of theme have lines ,Are they being deleted?

    Scary Tomato: The ones that have lines through them are codes that used to work, but have been deleted now. 😉

      1. It works for me, but I can’t click on the links, so it has no use! 😥

        ST: You can type them into your browser, though. 😉

  3. I’m sad that they don’t work anymore. 😦 Is there any chance they will come back?

    Scary Tomato: We don’t know yet… 😉

  4. You know what’s weird? I found out something else. If you go to Spy Island and you go on that cord that connects HQ and that place on top of Spyglass Eyewear while wearing the grappling bow-tie, you can do something cool. While you’re jumping, aim the bow-tie down and it’ll stick there. You’ll be in the parkway with the cord under you’re feet. 😀

    1. Hey, I just found out that after clicking on one of that guy’s prototypes and you go and stand on the ‘counter'(far left of the shop) He will keep jumping and jumping

  5. i thought that you could costimize the shark costeume? by the way can you?

    Scary Tomato: Yes, there’s a shark costume on the person at the bottom of Shark Museum. Just Costumize that guy. 😉

  6. jj – You used to be able to costumize it. It was a glitch. But the Poptropica Creator’s removed it. I wish they haden’t. 😦

  7. Cheat code “Shift-Ctrl-R” doesn’t work for me!! 😦

    Scary Tomato: It’s “Ctrl + Shift + R.” You mixed them up. 😉

    1. after it goes to Browsing history click back on the poptropica screen then press H

      hope that helps :))))

      1. Actually, if you go in a multiplayer room while doing it, it won’t check history.

  8. hay um…how do you get a cell phone on poptropica? I mean the ones you hold in your hand and can see. And also the other stuff like footballs and skateboards.

    Scary Tomato: Use the randomizing code (Ctrl + Shift + R) until you get one. It will change your entire character, though. 😉

  9. scary tomato, the fly code does not work on mine, why wont it work on mine? 😦

    Scary Tomato: Because Poptropica removed it. As you can see above, it is crossed out. 😉

  10. Its a tragidy that most of the codes don’t work,but comment #67 (Cool Penguin) really helps with some “hand-items”.

    Thanks!

    Kyle(xcreepykidx)

  11. I can’t beleve that got rid of the flying cheat! I was having a lot of fun with it!!!
    if any1 dicovers another flying cheat, PLEASE let Scary Tomato know!

  12. I just discovered 2 new cheats! no, it doesn’t giv u the ablity 2 fly or walk on water. If u press ctrl,shift and the button with – and _ on it the page gets smaller and if u press shift, ctrl and the button with + and = on it, the page gets bigger!

  13. oh ya. and you can smash the bugs in super power island go down to the subway station there are bugs on the wall click one to squish it

  14. new glitch!!!!! go to super power island. on the right you find a comic shop. get on one of the windows on the left or right. then click enter when you jump off click and hold the duck button and your underground!!!!(may take a few tries)

  15. GO poptopica.wordpress.com! It helped me so much. A month ago I didn’t know what the heck poptropica was,and now I’ve finished every mission and have 5 stars on the minigames. Thanks!!!!!!!:):):):):)

  16. thank you so much! i would never would have finished the islands without this AWSOME website. thanks so much you guys rock!

  17. Ctrl+Shift+H does work! At first,it may check History,but if you just close History and press H,it changes hair THEN! Well,it works for me!

  18. I had two tabs, and when i put in ctrl, shift, F4 it closed out poptropica!
    (i was on here and poptropica)

    Scary Tomato: You might have accidentally pressed the Alt and F4 keys, which probably caused Poptropica to close. 😉

  19. Popfan, no it wont. You probably pressed Alt F4. Alt F4 is the closing windows key so try not to press that. 😉

  20. You are right Lyon!!!
    You should add “Ctrl+Shift+H” and it will show history but then click the Poptropica screen once and press “H” only and it will change your hair clolour. Give credit to Lyon, #111.

    Scary Tomato: Thank you for these extra tips! I’ve added part of it up there. 😉

  21. This glitch is simular to comment 123.
    go to spy island and get the bowtie grapple. Go on the wire once up in the air push your bowtie all the way to the ground and your on the sidewalk/onthe road don`t forget to look both ways

  22. On time travel island the crab on the beach will explode if you click on him fast enough. Then he puts himself back together.

  23. I just lovvee all these cheats especially the glowstick,torch and the brain hat.
    but when I randomize my character it deletes E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!!!
    PS: the hair cheat doesnt work

    Scary Tomato: Thanks, and about the hair cheat – it doesn’t work at first but read the rest of the instructions and it should. 😉

  24. The hair cheat will work, scary tomato, and all the others who say it wont, if u do Ctrl-Shift-h it WILL pop up history but then click on poptropica then press H by itself no combination of keys and u can keep pressing H to change your hair color. Even if u exit browsing history…

  25. Here are seperated steps to the hair color cheat for anyone that has confusion:

    1. Click Ctrl+Shift+H once.
    2. Click the Poptropica screen once.
    3. Click “H”. ONLY H, not Ctrl+Shift+H, only H.
    4. Keep clicking H (only H) until you reach a desired hair color.

    Hope this clears any confusion on the matter.:wink:

  26. how to get flame on stick- go to time tangled and go to vikings area. then go in the cave with the glider take it off in the cave then exit and you have the torch.

    how not to have torch in cave- go to time tangled and go to vikings area. then go in the cave with the viking suit take it off in the cave and you will have no torch.

    how to get the glowstick- go to early poptropica and put on your jet pack. go in the dark manhole then take off the jetpack then exit the manhole and you will have the glowstick.

    please put these in the cheats.

    1. You know, there is a hidden costume behind the orange flowerpot
      in Early Poptropica. Just click on the window behind it and BAM! You have a cool hypnotic costume!

    2. wow!! thank you!! I figured the torch cheat and the wine glass cheat out a long time ago… but I never knew about the glow stick!

  27. Umm… How do you change back to your original self after you’ve done Ctrl+Shift+R? I AM TOTALLY STUCK AS SOME WIERDO!

    Scary Tomato: Find your original costume around Poptropica, and get them back via the Costumizer. 😉

    1. I don’t remember my last costume anymore, and I’m stuck as a weirdo, too. Any ideas?

      My computer doesn’t work for the ctrl shift h thing

      1. Plus, I need my orginal hair color, skin color, mouth and eyes back too. I can’t seem to get that…

      2. my computer also doesn’t know how too do this hair colour thing the pumpkin head or randomize or skin I tried doing those tricks a lot of times.

  28. but first u have to use the hair one cuase then u can just press the nuber or leter p.s it might not work on all coputers and u can use it with any cheat code I just checked tell me if it work on your coputer it might just be mine and sory i could not fit it in one box i was eperamenting

  29. Weird Glitch: when someone asks you to play Hoops, their character changes into this random afro guy with an undershirt-type thing. Really weird. Did anyone else notice something like that or is it just me? As fara as I know it only happens if someone asks you.

      1. I got him by trying to customize someone once they just left. He did weird things with his eyes! They did weird things, trust me! He is CREEPY!

    1. When loading, sometimes, they show all characters as pale white men (with eyelashes) with black afros, a white undershirt, and black pants. It normally corrects itself in time.

    1. I know, if u keep pressing ctrl shift 3 and click your mouse right after every turn, you will dissapear and poptropica window will go down a bit and say “It’s a draw!”.

  30. Scary Tomato. I did the random character code And now I am stuck as a girl (which i am a boy) Can you get a code t to get back to what your supposed to be like. 😦

    Scary Tomato: Just do the code again until you change back to a boy. It will change your outfit again, so you will also have to hunt for it around Poptropica. 😉

  31. I found a glitch, on Early Poptropica when you first get out of the baloon, go inside the manhole and when you jump in quickly click the jump one and youll be inside it but wontgo into the cave. You can just jump to get back out. This might take a few tries.

  32. there’s somefin really cool
    press Ctrl Shift F4 THEN type a code that appears on the corner of the poptropica screen in the address bar ( where you type a website) and it will direct you to a page on the internet with a poptropican item then, right click the item and click the option “forward” and it will show another item, but only some are items. another is what you can put on your back.

    It’s really cool

      1. Parts of things, like part of the main body, or hair. I also saw the Klassic Komix room, which makes me suspect sneak peeks.

      1. I’m sorry then, but it’s really cool. you know the “Thing”in 24 carrot when u go 2 the farm and that thing steals the carrots underground? There was this really quick animation 4 that

    1. You made that mistake too? I do that too. it is :-m-r-.-g-r-e-e-n-:

      Then…..:mr.green:

      Ontopic:poptropica is awesome!!!!!

      I hold a wand and I go into poptropica
      Every weekend and my name in poptropica is cheerful goose! I go there beetween 7:00-9:00a.m.

      So you can meet me in big nate!! 😉 🙂 😀 😆

      1. MY persons name is Zany Dolphin and im either in the 24 carrot chat room or astro knight chat room. im wearing a complete pink outfit (or maybe green, depends on if some1 takes my outfit >:[) and i have the fairy queen LIGHT BLONDE hair look for me their!! ps im lvl 3 1/4

    2. Annoy Comic Kid in the comic shop with the bell. *poof*
      Hey, Comic Kid! *rings the bell*
      Comic Kid: Oh, I’m right here.
      Me: *keeps ringing*
      Comic Kid: What do you want?
      Me: *keeps ringing until he gets annoyed*
      Comic Kid: *waves a comic book at my face* I really need to get rid of that thing.
      Me: What thing?
      Comic Kid: The bell! You kept ringing it!

  33. I LOVE POPTROPICA!!!!!!!!! i think it’s really cool how you can change your outfit and hair color and randomize yourself and everything. i go online EVERY day! poptropica rocks!

  34. Yeah and for the afro guy i was saw a WHILE ago in a M. room and his name was Name Unknown and he was just standing there! Oh and if u customize someone leaving HE pops up! It is CREEPY! I wonder who is playing as him! And he PITCH black skin which u can’t get on Poptropica!

    1. It’s a glitch. Simply challenge any player to a game (Currently, we know that you can only play Hoops or Sky Dive for this to work) and click as much as you can while loading. He will replace your character. When the game is done, you’ll return to normal.

      With all these new cases of this guy, I thing the Creators use him for things like this-don’t ask why.

      1. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
        omg he looks evil >:} nvm my other comment that IS picth blck skin

      2. If you sit there and do nothing, in costumizer he does weird stuff with his eyes! He freaks me out! His eyes get x’s and lines in them, and it is totally weird! Try it and you’ll know what I mean, and he only does the eye thing through costumizer I think.

      3. I think this guy has a brother! because one guy has: a black afro, black skin. tanktop,and pants! and his “brother” has white skin,black afro,no shirt(tanktop),and pants. Oh and they both have those creepy sausage shaped smiles!

    2. you can get black skin by going to early poptropica and go left to the balloon guy click on black balloon. if theres no black balloon exit and come back again

  35. Here’s some cheats:

    1. Make your face red:
    First, do the mad emote(ctrl+shift+3).
    Right when your face turns red, do any other emote(ctrl+shift+1,ctrl+shift+2,ctrl+shift+4).
    Then, your face will turn permently red! To take off the red, do the mad emote again.

    2.Get a hand item:
    First, randomize your charater(ctrl+shift+R).
    When you get the hand item you want, stop. Then, change your charater back to what you want him/her to look like.

    Hope it helped! 😉

  36. Hey. You wanna know how to look like anyone? Well first use
    ctrl-shift-P to get the pumpkin head. Once u have the pumpkin head, select the customizer and click the person u wish to copy. When u go to the customizer screen, clic cancel. Then get out of the pumpkin and get it again. Then get the customizer and click the person u wish to copy again. You will look exactly lie them! Try it!

  37. okay, so this isnt a code, but its really cool. go to spy island and go into spyglass eyewear(after you have gotten into the upper room) and then go into the lower floor. jump onto the desk then jump up high and click on one of the items. Dr. Spyglass will come down to the bottom floor and tell you that those are juts prototypes. But when you click on him, nothing happens… its really weird. if you run away from him and dont let him get close enough to talk to you he just follows you around!

  38. There shall be Glitch! Found a Glitch! YAY! 😀 Go on 24 carrot island and change your hair color into anyone there. Once you click “Drink”, While Your drinking/gulping it down click, Ctrl, Shift & Skin. The Click back! Yay 🙂 You should have a black drink in a crystal clear drinking bottle/cup! SO AWESOME! PLEASE ADD HERE AND PLEASE GIVE ME SOME CREDIT! THANK YOU! 🙂

    1. Whoo Hoo! YAY! Found another Glitch! Well it’s not EXACTLY a Glitch But Poptropica Changed Something. Ignore this Or Don’t Read this If You already Know But On Poptropica In Super Power Island in The Masks and Capes Store, The Barber guy / Costume maker Guy Lost His “Curly, Manly, Black Chest Hair” has Disapeared! It Is Gone! Now GIRLS can wear it too!

    2. Thanks for sharing. But I don’t think “PLEASE ADD HERE AND PLEASE GIVE ME SOME CREDIT!” was necessary The PHB will decide whether they will give you credit or not! 😀

  39. I think I now what the gun looks like. In Time Tangled, go to 1805 A.D. It’s held by the first guy. 🙂

  40. Hey, I was on Poptropica yesterday and found out that the Ctrl+Shift+F4 code still works. It’s a pretty useless code though. If that code works now, will the other codes like the flying and phone work soon?

    Scary Tomato: Hopefully, but we don’t know yet.

      1. yeah it does. it has this little thing at the bottom and it lets u serch stuff or something. maybe it just works on laptops, because that is what i was using! 😉

      2. I have a laptop too, but that dosen’t really count as a Poptropica cheat. It counts more like a shortcut.

    1. Neat Whale – It’s a search shortcut. It can be used almost anywhere on the Internet, not just Poptropica. Besides, since you can’t use Ctrl + F (there is actually no Shift for this) on Poptropica, it’s not really a Poptropica code. 😉

  41. I found another cheat! Press Ctrl, Shift, 1 while jumping in the air and you will jump in mid air! Try it! It really works! The more you press it in the air, the higher you get! ( It might help you in early Poptropica by getting you the signal flag.)

    1. Director Lion (Gentle Lion) – Thanks for the awesome tip! It has now been added to the “Special Cheats” section of the Cheat Codes page (this page). Check it out!

  42. Hey! you can do the same jump glitch with Ctrl-Shift-S! You need to hold the mouse down though. Plus it changes your skin color.

  43. You can also jump high while pressing Ctrl+Shift+2 and 3. I don’t really know about key #4. B-) 😀

      1. well i found the cheat first 😦 and i easyer way to do the cheat is press ctrl+shift+h then you history will pop up then you exit out of your history then you can type in your adress bar so then press h 3 times then jump up so then you can just press r without the ctrl shift and the other ones like h s and so on

  44. The black juice cheat didn’t work for me! My character just got white hair! 😦 Does anyone know why it didn’t work?

    Scary Tomato: Make sure you follow all the instructions! While your character is drinking the white juice, hold down Ctrl + Shift + S. 😉

  45. Here is a cheat that you can use,
    1. Go to any place on http://www.poptropica.com that you can chat with people.
    2.if you see an outfit that you like,(I have not tried this on people with devil horns and wings yet but you can try.)just put your mouse over the person and do Ctrl+Shift+S(Do not click the person just put your mouse over the person.)
    3.get out of the place and enjoy your new outfit!:)

    P.S. Do not try this anywhere else other than places where you can chat with people.

  46. When i got the cell phone, every1 tried to costumize it but they couldn’t! MAybe they should visit this awsome site!

  47. Sorry PHB, but my cheat however doesn’t work anymore. 😦 I think the Poptropica Creators took out the effect. You can delete my cheat from this page.

  48. You know those horns? It might of been a poptropica creator who was wearing them. That might be how it all spreaded around. LEGOLESS still has the horns and the brain and all that. Maybe the horns will be on Astro Knights!

    Scary Tomato: I hope so! 😉

  49. I heard that if you push one color of flowers off the ledges on early poptropica, you will, like, get a flower hat. (I don’t know if it’s true or not) 😉

    Scary Tomato: It’s not true. 🙄

    1. But I think I found something with the flowers. If you push the flowers on the ground somewhere BESIDES the skateboard boy it will break. But if you put it with the skateboard guy or the manhole it will stay the same. Weird… :shocked:

  50. ST, can the black liquid inside the glass handheld thing be another color? why is it that if you drink white black will appear in the cup? btw, that was a really cool cheat code! 😀

    Scary Tomato: Unfortunately, it can only be black. I don’t know why, but that’s just how the Creators made the cheat. 😉

    1. acctualy it can be a different color 1
      1 get any color drink
      2 hold down ctrl shift s while drinking
      3 and wella you get whatevere color drink you want
      ps not sure if it goes away if you leave room

      please give me a round of appluase
      also look for poptropicain named grumpy snowball that is me

  51. I know how to get the glass in your hand on Spy island. First get the chef hat. Then get the glass from the guy at the table and make it to the door. Next take off your chef hat and go outside. And you will have the glass to keep in your hand.

  52. GLITCH FOR ALL GIRLS! When you are tapping your foot in the multiplayer room, asking to chat or battle, use the crying emote on the side of the screen a few times till your Poptropican does the emote with tears coming out of their eyes. Stop crying then look at your eyelashes on the screen, they are permenently turned down! 😆

    1. Forgot to mention, permently down UNTIL you move! It would be great if you could add this as a glitch in the cheat page! 😆

What's popping, Poptropicans?
