  1. About holding the black juice, i did it, but my character became blue!
    So this is making me sick

    Scary Tomato: Keep doing Ctrl + Shift + S to change skin color to the one you want. You can also visit the Pigments balloons in Early Poptropica to change your skin back. 😉

  2. Hey, to get the black drink, you don’t have to fill your cup with white. I tried it with black and I got a black drink too. Also, crtl+shift+F4 still works, at least for me, and I think I found a new cheat: Pressing crtl+shift+F10 once pauses the game.

  3. Thx for the codes, guys!

    I’m so excited to beat the 9th and 10th island!!

    yay.!

    Thx for the help, really!

  4. Do you think, eventually all the Cheat Codes will be repaired? unless we all go hunting for more…

  5. did you know that the dr.hare glich
    works on other caricters? just go
    in a mutiplayer room and roll over
    a caricter and do ctrl+ shift+ s
    and walk out and you are that caricer

  6. easter eggs, eh? i thought those were those things u found on easter day, from the easter bunny.
    not computer cheats.
    lol.

    Scary Tomato: There’s more than one definition.

  7. I figured out that these cheats don’t work on Apple Macs. I tried on mine and it doesn’t work at all. I have tried looking for other cheats for Mac but no luck.

  8. Grumpy Wolf, Scary Tomato, Codien, and Smockers, here’s an AWESOME glitch I found:
    (WARNING! You will be [b] JUST [b/]like the character, so if you have an awesome outfit,
    [b] DO NOT USE. [b/]
    1. Go to any CHAT room on PopTropica.
    2. Roll over, with your mouse, a character that you like.
    3. Press Ctrl+Shift+S at the same time.
    4. Your skin color will be a different color.
    BUT WAIT!!!!]
    5. Get out of the chat room.
    6. You will be exactly like the peep you rolled over with your mouse!

  9. I know an easier and quicker way to do cheat 211:
    1. hold down ctrl + shft
    2. click on the costumizer icon
    3. click on the character and at the same time hold down ctrl + shft + s and hold your mouse and ctrlshfts
    4. yyour skin color will change but you will look just like them and change your skin color to look exactically like them.
    NOTE: You will change gender, your eyes will change (can go from half-closed to open), and you will look totally like them. This only works in mulitplayer rooms. you cannot do it anywhere else.

    Cheat 2:
    when you are costumizing, push ctrl shft 4 and move your mouse ofer to the side. your character will jump where your mouse is. and can jump aroundd the costumizer screen.

    Cheat 3:
    1. Try to play baloons wih someone.
    2. when the game comes up, try to let them win.
    3. when their fourth balloon goes up and stops, click close.
    4. something will pop up on your computer. Click yes/ok
    5. everyone in the room will start dancing on ground or in midair and you cannot stop unless you go to poptropica and log in again.

    Easter Egg:
    Also, if you haven’t noticed, the toilets in super power restrooms flush and make bubbles. it is funny cause if you flush it and then go down hole it looks like you got flushed down the toilet!

  10. I sent an email to Jeff Kinney and got a reply (WOW 😯 ) he said they DO view your blog, ST, and they use some of the cheat code pages to fix glitches, while others they put in there for us to discover and have fun with. He didnt answer me about which creator avatar he is and wouldn’t reveal other identities. He said he is also making another diary of a wimpy kid book and movie.

    1. Sorry…my mom thought it was spam and deleted it.. 😦
      Now that I think about it, I’m not sure if it WAS him…I used the right email address but he didn’t sign his name or anything and just kinda seemed to talk quickly. Maybe it was an editor or secetary?

      Scary Tomato: Is it still in the trash folder of your e-mail system?

      1. Probably. The author himself dosen’t really have time, but he probably won’t personally answer unless someone like a President Obama sent the email.

        I sent an email to Lemony Snicket in 2007, and I still don’t have a reply!

      2. No. I looked in INBOX, SPAM, TRASH, and SENT and nothing…darn 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦 I sent a reply but never got anything back. I also tried Vlad on his Youtube channel but he didn’t respond.

        Scary Tomato: Aww… I hope we do get e-mail replies from the Creators more often, though. 😦

    2. I know….I wish they would hurry up and release AstroKnights and the Store! It is o hard to wait 😥 :sob: It almost makes me angry 😡 😈

  11. hey- on the new SWF cheat- go to object 67- is it just me, or did we never use the satelite fuse???? 😮

      1. The SWF codes don’t work 4 me but, that was a good find Magic Monster!
        Theres also that “JamesTown” code, but i can’t try it,u have 2 go 2 Early Poptropica where u get the medallion… 😕 I’ve also noticed that the SWF codes change where ever ,u go…

      2. Nvm, i was wrong. I noticed the items are in category by islands. It was mixed in with Spy Island stuff. I think they edited it out of the game.

      3. OMG!! I just tried and it worked me, and is an interesting item…

      4. Yeah Shaggy Tornado, ur right. If u look at the background it shows those glasses… o well.

      5. I’m not sure but if u go 2 Early Poptropica in the
        Early place and click crtl+shift+f4 it says JamesTown and all that Static.poptropica stuff…. 😕

    1. AWESOME discovery, Magic Monster! I almost thought it was for Astro-Knights until Shaggy Tornado and Nice Bubbles pointed out the glasses in the background. It was probably going to be for Spy Island, but never got released. 😛

    2. Looks like when the creators were making Spy Island at first they wanted to add a teleporter fuse but then later on they decided not to.

  12. It’s not fair. Whenever it get this awesome outfit that I’ve always wanted some copycat does like the EXACT same thing except for hair colour!

    Scary Tomato: LOL, they probably think your outfit is cool. :mrgreen:

    1. This is actually the picture that you can catch from the lighthouse to give to the School Picture Guy for scuba gear.

    1. Yeah…I wish we could see the name, that would be cool.

      I think SWF’s are the latest Poptropican technology.

  13. For the Ctrl-Shift-f4 thing, is there anything else it can be used for besides item links? I have a Mac so I can’t find out, but I’m just wondering.

    Scary Tomato: So far, only the item links seem to work. 😉

  14. If you do 411 on the cellphone, you get the Brain Hat… but how do you change your hair back to the way it was? Please answer Scary Tomato, Codien, Smockers, or Grumpy Wolf! I really want my old hair style back. If I get the Brain Helmet how do I get my orginal hair back?

    Scary Tomato: Find your original hair from someone else in Poptropica, then Costumize it to get it back. 😉

  15. Scary tomato I try to chat whith other people on poptropica with the white bar and I don`t know how to make my person say it. Please reply!

    Scary Tomato: Simple reason? Because you can’t chat with other people using the white bar.

  16. Ive had that happen to me before too. Only the eyes, legs, and arms would show. After a while of not going on, I think it eventually fixed itself. It may just be a glitch..

  17. I saw someone called “Name Unknown” and he was wearing an item that I’ve never seen before, and I copied it, all because of the Dr Hare glitch!
    PS: My Dr. Hare character is called Shy Crush. =P

    1. I have a Dr Hare with Mechanical flu face and his name is Scary lizard, but I ust call him either Dr Hare or th name I gave him, Phil.

  18. I have another glitch. After you get the cat downstairs at 24 Carrot Island, right as it’s drinking the milk, hold ctrl and shift and then press “s” numerous times. After that, the cat is in your power, now hold ctrl and shift and then press “r”. The cat is now a miniperson!

    1. I’ve heard that before, but you don’t need to get it to drink milk! Once it comes out of the shower, you can still turn it into a mini-person!

  19. DUDE!!!!!!!! there is a jumping cheat!!!! first u jump then you hold ctrl and shift and keep pressing r at the same time. while doing this, you need to hold the jump button/mouse (click and hold)

  20. If you costimize the afro dude’s mouth your mouth will freeze in the spot like if you ask someone something your character keeps on talking but with no words! Try it and you’ll see what i mean!

    1. the guy with the white skin and like if someone leaves as you are custimizing them. if you click on his eyes they are really creepy.

      1. Oh yeah, defentely creepy. 😮 I haven’t done that glitch in a while though. 🙂

      2. He had black skin when I did it and did creepy things with his eyes when I tried to customize someone when they are leaving. Try it and you will see what I mean!

    1. Thanks for posting this video. I’d seen a glitch earlier that involves this technique, but I didn’t understand it until now. 🙂

  21. And one more question. Is this website PST cuz im going crazy with the time. Where i am its 8:05 pm. idk anything anymore.

    Scary Tomato: No, it’s GMT +8, which is the time in Hong Kong. 😉

  22. i’m sure this has been discovered, but on super power island, once you have the flying ability you can go to the fourth floor of the Daily Paper building and reach the ceiling.

    also, you can float around on any floor. it’s pretty amusing.

  23. For the item SWF#s, #3023 is a ticket that lets you access an island a week early, #3024 is a party room, #3001-#3019 are the costumes, #3020 is the Colorizer, #3021 is the printer, and # 3022 is the electrifier!

      1. what do you do when your their purple sword?

        ST: The website Purple Sword mentioned has the list of the item SWF numbers.

  24. if you are a girl and read the clique series, then you might like this outfit

    Warning: To get the outfit, you may have to reset your character’s looks
    P.S. You have to buy a couple costumes for this outfit.
    Outfits Used: For the cell phone and wide eyes: press Ctrl+Shift+R (warning: your character’s clothes will randomise)until you get that girl. Don’t worry about the skin color and the hair. For skin, just press Ctrl+Shift+S. Then go to 24 Carrot Island and change your color of your hair. Hair – Fairy Queen Bun + Pop Star hair exten. w/earrings, Lips: Popstar, Shirt:Southern Belle, Pants: Just costumeise a person’s pants. If you prefer skirts, then use white or black skirts.
    And voila, you have massie block.

  25. Hey guys I know a slow motion cheat.
    1. Go to a person and talk to them or jump off a high building
    2. While your talking or still in the air click and hold the address bar
    Your falling of talking in slow motion!

  26. Seizure Cheat: Attach Samurai Sword to your poptropican. While standing still or walking, hold down spacebar. Congratulations, You are now having a seizure. Not really a cheat, but just fun to do.

  27. On astro knights island, after you’ve gotten the secret password into the fountain, this is another fun cheat you can use. Press the half moon, then Jupiter, than the small star, and then the sun in the middle. While the plaque is going down, click on it again. Then hit the black hole and then hit “close” in the upper right corner. Voila! The water in the fountain is gone and you are mysteriously underground. Isn’t that awesome?

  28. Here’s a two-player game easter egg/cheat for Hoops. Whatever side you are on, line up your cursor’s finger with the top- corner closest to the hoop. you’ll get it in almost every time! positive ’bout this! Forgot if i found this out myself or read it somewhere… 🙂

  29. For the SWF thing, typing in #’s in the 3000 will show stuff from the poptropica store!!! 😀 what is # 3024 tho????

  30. When you go to early poptropica and go to the place with the water. Push one block in the water. push the other block on the place with the rope up to it in the water. Then go back to the to and you will have 2 blocks up there.

  31. new glitch electricity with out color
    1.use electrify
    2.go to astro knights
    3.go to the ice planet
    4.in the water
    now you sould a have sparks without color

      1. Every time I log in, even if I used the Electrifier before, the whole thing goes away, but then I can put it on again.

  32. I also have proof that the creater’s are reading this. I once read the creater’s blog (on poptropica there is a link to it) and on one of there posts they were talking about the help blog! 😯

      1. Yeah, it was during an old April Fool’s prank from our blog. 😛 We pretended to change into the “Club Penguin Help Blog” and the Creators made a post referring to it! Pretty cool. 😀

  33. what about astro knights island hints? im stuck on the last 2 planets! ps it opend to the public 2 DAYS AGO

  34. Um i’m not so sure if anybody already asked this or not but um…. what if u have a MacBook or iMac … Ctrl+Shift+whatever doesnt work on the Mac …. 😦
    u know u guys should make a separate list for ppl who have a Mac or for ppl who have any other type of computer. 🙂
    That would be great! 😀

      1. thank 4 the info, it helped alot 😀
        but unfortunately some of the cheat codes wont work instead another command happens on the Mac like it adds bookmarks or it opens another window or something like that 😦

      2. I know it’s so unfair! I have one of the older versions of the MacBookPro so I have to use command

  35. i know a glitch! in the daily paper make sure you are flying go to the third floor and then fly almost to the siling and then wait and then go to the siling and then you’ll be bouncing in the air!

    1. i know a glitch!in crop circle inn go to the third floor and then bump to the siling 5 times then stop if you don’t bump by your self then do it 6 or 7 times!

  36. OMG OMG OMG i think im dreaming! i just saw a person dressed as an ice cream cone and a soda!! where can i get 1 of those outfits?

  37. NEW GLITCH! i call it the fan fever attack 😆 first buy the royal ball outfit in the shop and the go to “purchased items” click on the southern bell outfit and customize the fan. next exit out and hold down space bar and the top half of the fan should look like its trying to cool you down when you have a fever!

  38. new glitch!! (i think) in 24 carrot AFTER he drinks the milk and meows if you press ctr shift s the cat changes color!

  39. NEW GLITCH 😆 (only works once you have the key to the well thing
    1) go 2 astro-knights island and go to the fouantin
    2)put in the password: moon planet star sun
    3) while the place where you put your password is going down, click it again and YOU will dissapear!

  40. You can press the ctrl shift 1, 2, 3, 4, and hold to make pretty weird stuff. Also, you can press ctrl shift 3 and press ctrl shift 1,2,4 and they will have red faces.

    ~EEl~

  41. OMG! I was looking through the SWF, and I found a high tech suit, and I think it makes you fly! I think the item number was 3001. Check it out! And I found a suit that gives you super speed from an apple jacks ad, and an unreleased game!

      1. The high tech suit was a prize for a Yogos
        Space Billiards game, Which SWF is 2000.

        The unreleased game u found was probably a Froot Loops ad, SWF 2002.

        The Crissed Crossed Trophy was from the same Apple Jacks ad that gave u the super speed suit. That ad also gave u shirts for team Apple and team Cinnamon.

      2. And another point for the reply above. Items that are from future islands and future ads are probably not going to be shown in SWF links. {I said probably because Vanish[SWF 3034(this might have been possibly edited out but its cool!)] and the Party Room[SWF 3024(but this possibly might have been edited out too because it says with ur friends and i remember there was a friend button earlier in the game but was never released and replaced with the costumizer which is even better! 😀 )] were posted in the Poptropica Store category but were not released yet! So idk wat will happen… 😕 }

        ST: Yeah, I’ve been wondering about the “friends” button too… it was never released. 😦

  42. Walking on Water
    I found this on Shark Island (I don’t know if this has been posted)
    Right after you have Professor Hammerhead and the boy following you; go past the cannon and jump onto the far left side of a crate. Then click on the Professor to talk to him; you should fall off and then the boy and the Professor should be standing on the water!

    1. I have a glitch!

      1. Buy Medusa in the Poptropica store

      2. Use it on Professor Hammerhead.

      3. He won’t have stubble and his skin will be a different color!

  43. I have a glitch!
    1: Defeat an island and buy the Medusa Hair
    2: Go to Spy Island
    3: Wait until one of the poptropica people get hit by a laser and they become bald
    4: Go to your purchased items and click on the Medusa Hair
    5: After you click on ‘Select Charecter’ click on the person who just lost their hair
    6: They should have snakes on their head, and something else
    7: Repeat step 5
    8: The person should have their hair back
    9: Click on him/her
    10: The person should think they’re still bald
    😀

    1. 1.) right before a person losses his/her hair press the t-shirt.
      2.)right when the laser hits them press them
      3.)then when your at the costumize place press cancle then the person will have there hair back!!!!!!!!!!!

  44. lol it says on the cell phone cheats that if you type “128” (before all those other cell phone codes got deleted) you would get a “Lewis RIFLE” A Rifle? not kid-safe.

    ST: I think that was the rifle Lewis on Time Tangled Island is holding. Maybe they didn’t want kids to have rifles on Poptropica. 😉

    1. And yet you can have a sword, a dagger, a knife, a bow and arrow (well actually we use those at school)

  45. I figured out how to make the cheat codes work on Macs! Before you press the last button of the code, hold down fn, and substitute command for Ctrl. Example: Ctrl-Shift-f4 becomes Command-shift-fn-f4.

    1. Also, for some to work, you must go to System Preferences, go to Keyboard and Mouse, and disable certain keyboard shortcuts.

  46. If anybody likes skinny jeans especially the colored ones, i found a place that is loaded with them. I know there’s no such thing as skinny jeans on pop. but they look like them. I went to the moonish place on astro knights, and just costumise the alien’s pants. they have yellow, red, black, greenish bluish, and pink.

    <|| Crayola ||] Color it your way….

  47. I found a glitch! If you have the Renegade Robot outfit, costumize the gun/weapon. Then hold space down. Keep holding it, and when your standing still, smiling, start walking (keep holding space). You should be floating, hands un attached with your eyes closed.Stop walking and holding space, you shoot.
    Sorry if someone else said it, this is really funny!

  48. Guys… I just found something cool

    you know if you want to costumise someone but they move too much just roll your mouse over them so their name and star rating is on the top of the screen in a bar. Then just press the costumise button and click on the little picture of them.

    ALSO….something even better, you can use that method to costumise yourself and a weird man all dressed in black with a white vest appears.

    ITS REALLY COOL 😀

      1. Yeah, and if you get his mouth, your mouth stays in the same position as it was last in (a little circle, a grin, etc.,)

  49. Here is a cheat to get unlimited credits! (as long as there is a island left unfinished)
    1. Finish the island until up to the point where you have to talk to someone or do something before you get a medallion
    2. MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS IN THE SAME ROOM REQUIRED TO FINISH THE ISLAND, enter a new tab, and log in. You should log in at the same room as the other tab. If you want more credits, enter lots of tabs.
    3. Finish the island on each of the tabs IF YOU GO TO A DIFFERENT AREA USING A DIFFERENT TAB YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE EXTRA CREDITS

      1. I can’t do it!!! It’s too confusing!!and the island is too hard to finish!!!

      2. I think the glitch is fixed. I had some extra credits and now I have zero. 😦

  50. I kinda know a glitch.
    If you go to Early Poptropica right by the Soda Pop Shop there is a sewer-like hole which leads to the big spider or Goth Girl poptropican. Well this is how I got this glitch. You click to go down there, but really fast click up obove the hole. Then you find yourself in the hole. To get up, you just click up. For me i find it kinda cool. Try it! Make sure your not in the part where the rope is to go down.

  51. I know how to get the cat ears, whiskers, dog ears, and fangs!!! [will only work on
    _
    spy island (+)]

    dog:
    1. put on the Chameleon Suit
    2. Go to the docks
    3. go into the warehouse(and I mean at the top.)
    4. Click a dog
    5. click the costumizer then click the poptropica store icon
    6. select a costume; and the customizer should pop up. customize whatever you want to, and click ok. Then click close.

    Cat:
    1. Click the cat
    2. repeat steps 5-6 above.

    WARNING: YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS ONCE PER CHARCTER. YOU HAVE ONLY 1 CHANCE TO DO THE CAT, AND 3 FOR THE DOG.

    -S.C.

  52. I have a glitch.
    I only works when you have the mechanical mouse on Astro-Knights Island.
    Go outside the queen and kings room on the stairs and release the mouse.
    Jump down the stairs. The mouse will be crawling in mid air.
    You can retrieve it by jumping up to catch it.

  53. COOL CHEAT!

    In Spy Island’s Spyglass Eyewear, say something to the man in the lab coat, for example, “I’d like an eye exam.” WHILE you are talking (not after you finish!) click the green t-shirt that helps you customize people. Now click on the manequin on the right. Customize something from it, such as its glasses. Now click ‘Accept’. The manequin will say, “undefined” and start breathing! Enjoy!

  54. hey glitch! get flower power and put it on.
    now stand anywhere on the rope.
    press space bar and youll be standing in midair
    and flowers will be growing in the air!

  55. I know an Easter Egg!
    Planting Flowers on air (You must have the Flower Power from the Poptropica Store:
    Go to Time Tangled Island in the Mount Everest. Go to the place with the icicles falling, and stand somewhere on the edge, then press spacebar to plant. You should be panting the flowers like normal, except one thing- They’re on air! It may take a few tries, but it works! I found it out myself. Sorry if someone already posted this.

  56. HEY! I just thought of a really good cheat! I don’t know if this works or not, because I don’t have any credits or the phantom thingy, but if someone could try it out for me I would be really glad! Ok, buy phantom(if u havn’t already)then put on the spy island cameleon suit. If this cheat works, u might be super invisable!!!
    Also I have a cheat for multicoloured cats and one for slowing down time on Poptropica. Here they are:
    RAINBOW FELINES!: okay, go to 24 carrot then go to the cat in the old, abandoned farm house. Then, before you leave to get the milk, get the cat out of the bath by turning on the taps. then u simply click on the costumiser and click on the cat. at the same time, use the skin colour cheat (ctrl+shift+s) and watch the cat change colours! (note that it also changes ur skin colour 2!)
    i’LL POST THE OTHER ONE LATER!

What's popping, Poptropicans?
