  1. Hey guys I have a Cheat!Go to the Store.Before Buying a Costume,press spacebar.You will see what the costumes special Move!

    1. thats not a cheat. That is what is saposed to happen. the creators did that so you did not buy something with a special action you didn,t like. but it is still cool. 😉

    2. Yeah, please make sure your glitch is actually a glitch, and not what is supposed to happen when you do it.

  2. FUNNY GLITCH FOR ALL WHO HAVE FLOWER POWER!!

    Go to either the Fire Planet or Ice Planet (Fire Planet’s funnier because plants would shrivel up in lava). Then, as your person is saying “AHHHHHHHH!!! HOT HOT HOT!!/COLD COLD COLD!!”, use the Flower Power and plant a flower or two in the given liquid. It’s very funny.

  3. I found a glitch thing: walking without clicking.

    1. Hold down the mouse (like you would to move normaly)
    2. Right-click while still holding the left mouse button.
    3. Click the mouse outside the poptropica screen.

        2. get on top of the tall building (above the eye shop)

        6. close out
        7. to the right, in the air, you will see the battle and chat thing pop up (the battle one dosent work 😦 ) and you can chat with them! 🙂

  5. I don’t know if it’s been metioned but I know how to be name unknow
    (only works on some computers)

    3.press the “back” button on your screen
    4.a radom poptropican is there
    5.it does not replace your poptropican, it is a new one.
    and now it’s name unknow!

    1. i found a similar one. if you plant those flowers on the elivator on the the daily paper building in super power island the flowers will float in the air!

  6. A cool way to get the cloudy with a chance of meatballs gear. Go to superhero, activate your flying ability*. Go inside the cloudy with a chance of metaballs building, then play the minigame. You will still have the ability to fly!

    *You need to have beaten the island.

    1. no its possible i have internet ex.8 just close inprivate, click the screen, just tap P on the keyboard and viola! 😀

      1. well.. it happened to me i just pressed ctrl shift p,closed InPrivate clicked the screen once and hit P a few times

  7. I noticed a funny glitch in early poptropica :P!

    I was in the “Early” part of it, and I went down into the wishing well, and I jumped into the water for fun, and I jumped up while I was in the water, and I bounced on water, it was pretty beast.

  8. For the new Astro Boy ad (guys only ages 6-11):
    If your Poptropican character is a guy aged 6 to 11, you’ll notice that in the costumes for the Astro Boy ad there is one for a girl.
    [for GIRLS who want Cora’s (Astro Boy’s friend) costume from the ad]:
    1. create a guy account (aged 6-11 only)
    2. go to Spy island (the 1st island that I noticed the ad)
    3. when you see the ad, use this code: Ctrl + Shift + R until the character is a girl.
    4. Costumize Cora’s outfit & voila!
    Hope this glitch helped!

  9. hey i just discovered this hilirsly funny easter egg cheat!
    Okay, if you beat the fuel up and go ad than go to spy island(if your not there already), go up to the bouncey rope thing next to the spy at the top of HQ and jump on it. When your really high up go to your inventory(bag) and find the treadmill. Then press ‘use’.
    You should find yourself on a treadmill in mid-air!

  10. I found a new glitch.Go anywhere in Spy Island and use the grapple bowtie and then make sure your hanging somewhere and then go to you inventory and then take the bowtie off then you will be hanging from a line!

  11. Did you know that if you push the spacebar while looking at a costume in the Poptropica Store you can see it’s special action?

    1. Yeah, sorry, but 1) Someone already posted a comment about that and
      2) It says that in the outfit description on the card

  12. If I randomize, does it take everything in my inventory?

    Hijuyo: Nope, it only affects your character’s appearance. 😉

  13. Hey!I found a really cool cheat.Go to Super Power island first.Once you have defeated one vilian,you go to the prison and stand on a window next to the vilian.Click on the vilian and your guy will start tap dancing.

  14. Hey everyone, I found something pretty cool. its not a cheat or anything though 😦 . go to early poptropica island and put on the jet pack. then, do a somersault on the ground. in the middle of the somersault, click and hold in the air so that you fly. you should be flipping in the air if you do it correctly.

  15. 1.Go to a place where you can fly like Super Power Island after you get the flying power.
    2.Climb halfway up a rope
    3.Press Ctrl+Shift+3.
    4.Just as the animation of the emote reaches to the part where the face gets red, hit Ctrl + Shift + 4.
    5.Your character will be on the rope with an angry red face.
    6.Turn on your flying power and fly of the rope.Your character will be flying around with a red face
    When your character rests on the ground,he/she will return to normal.

  16. I can’t get on to the SWF sites! Whenever I try to get on them, it says: “File not found. Better luck next time!”

    Hijuyo: It could be a problem with Poptropica, because that’s where the SWFs are coming from.

  17. here is a glitch to shark tooth island…….

    1: go to shark tooth island and then go right and then go to ancient ruins and go in that place that showing eyes blinking..
    2: don’t go down once your in that place then you need to buy a time freezer at the store..
    (if you don’t have it or you don’t have enough money, too bad!)put the time freezer on then jump and then press space bar rapidly and then move and your character is not moving steps to walk! it’s only sliding!! try this glitch and REPLY!!!!!!!!!

    Hijuyo: Interesting glitch, Dangerous Penguin! 😉

    1. Also, if you do a somersault in the air over the fire on Early Poptropica and click on the fire the SAME SECOND you land on the ground, then your character will say something like “That’s hot!” and land. If you try to walk left or right, your character will slide.It will stop when you move the pointer down and click or go somewhere else. Hope it works for everyone! 😉

  18. Rascal in the store(You have to have the grappling bow to do this)

    Here’s a really funny cheat:

    1: Go to Spy Iland and enter the Spyglass shop.

    2: Put on the bow

    3:Click on the bow and target it on the ceiing.

    4: Then,go to the shelf on the top left.

    5: You should see inventions.Click on one of them.

    6: The doctor comes down.You start running and make sure he doens’t catch up to you.

    And that’s it!You should have a doctor and yourself running like coyotes!Have fun!

  19. Hey! I just started. And i know ALL the islands, ’cause i had LOTS of finished accounts. When i got bored because they weren’t any other islands i made new accounts! This is a great blog! How did you find about ALL these things? These glitches? These Walkthroughs? They are FANTASTIC! I LOOVE this website!

    Hijuyo: As a Poptropica community, different people have joined us to share their Poptropica experiences and discoveries, all to help fellow friends! 🙂

  20. Something strange happened on Astro-Knights Island! You know the Planetarium on main street? You must have the mechanical mouse to do this. First, jump to the top of the door (of the Planetarium). Then go to your backpack and release the mouse. Now before the mouse comes back to you quickly jump down to the ground. Now the mouse should stay on the Planetarium. Move around a bit and it will be walking in mid-air! It will follow you around but if you jumped and touched it it will go back into your backpack.

  21. Jumpy Cat

    If you have the cat following you go in front of the Dinner and then close the tab. After that log back on to poptropica and go to 24 carrot and walk back & forth and the cat will be jumping over and under the ground.

    Its coool!!!

    1. another trick get on the roof of the diner if you have cat walk to the left and line the cat up with the rope and jump up and the cat will be hamging on the rope if you want cat to climb jump up and down

  22. I’m really intrested in the Item SWF links. I tried from number 1 to 142 and it’s really cool watching items I haven’t got yet!

  23. That was strange…I was in the B.A.D. Bistro on Spy Island and I have the chef hat. I went inside without the hat and the B.A.D. agent said, “You’re not the chef. Don’t bother me.” So I put on my chef hat and he said, “I’m fine. Go away.” I take the hat off but he still say “I’m fine. Go away.”! I had to go out to stop that.

  24. Hey I found another glitch (I think it was). First complete Nabooti Island. Then go inside the Museum at Main Street and go near the Nabooti Totem used to be. Jump onto the word ‘Nabooti’ then jump onto the wooden platforms at the left or right (it doesn’t matter which one) and climb as high as you can. When you’re on the highest platform jump towards the beam of light, but aim in the middle. If you set it up right you’ll be standing in MID-AIR as if the Totem is still there!

  25. This has probably been mentioned b4, but if you crouch near the beach of Time Tangled into the water, you will be down deeper

  26. i am icy sword from poptropica……! i found this mega cool glitch! if u go on spy, and got the laser pen and bow tie, and are on to get the invisable laser seeing googles….And while u go u need to jump and the B.A.D guy is around….try and click on him….and 2 coloums come up the same u might see in the multiplayers room when u click on someone. Well those two come up on him….i pressed chat (not battle) and asked him do u like my hair..he actually replied and said No! i found it seriously cool…don’t know about u..! i hope u try it!

  27. We found a new glitch in spy. While in the chameleon suit while standing still (you need to be next to the guard)and then you can talk to him. we had this happen on the rooftops above balding avenue.

  28. heres a glich
    go to time tangled
    go to the time where the great wall is built
    find the warrior {the one with the bowl]
    click but dont let go
    move your mose to the side
    let go. itll stop the fire inside!! try it.

  29. new glitch i found on counterfeit island.
    First get a balloon from the clown shop
    Then after you have one go to a rope and hang on it.
    As you stay on you will notice the balloon rises slowly.
    When the balloon is really high go off the rope you will go flying.

  30. I’ll never have to go to the weird balloon guy or the carrot king diner again!Whoo Hoo!
    -lady boa who now has blue skin.

  31. I found a really cool glitch. go to spy island and (this is only if you have got the bow tie. Go up to the rope that you can jump on that is near the spy. make sure your bowtie is off. start jumping. once you get really really high in the air (not touching the cord) press on items. put the bowtie on. the minute your feet hit the cord. shoot the bowtie strait down. you should go all the way to the street with the cord still on you. I am a big fan of this site.

    Hijuyo: Cool cheat! 😉

  32. GLITCH ALERT
    I went in to the comic shop and used the custimizer cheat on comic kid and i saw the chat or battle sighs in the corner i pressed chat and he answered my qwestion no lie

  33. I found a glitch in the Naboti muesum,if you climb up to the highest ledges and jump,landing in the middle,where the naboti statue was…you will be floating on nothing!and if you jump high enough,you will land on another invisible ledge.have fun floating/standing!

  34. I found this really weird thing. There’s this customizable TALKING CONSTANTLY MOVING MOUTH. I’ve customized it; my user is PokeberryDP. You can find it on the avatar studio… I just copied it off of someone. Don’t know where they got it though.

    1. I think I know where they got it! If you have the mouth from that weird black and white guy and keep it on long enough in the same position, then it will turn into that mouth….

  35. i think i have a intresting cheat or glitch whocares!

    1.if you have enough credits go to the store

    2.open another tab(save on acount first)log in 2 your acount you’ll end in the same place as where u saved

    3.on the other tab go to the store and buy something

    4.now get on the other tab and buy something else you might have 2 items!

    hope this helps ^_^

  36. Laughing w/ an Angry Face isn’t all you can do….

    If you hit Ctrl+Shift+3 then Ctrl+Shift+2 you get….

    CRYING W/ A RED FACE

  37. ok i found how to get the glow stick: in early poptropica you need the jet pack and the glow stick in your inventory and then go to the dark place where you search for the golden egg for the giant and inside it you should be holding your glow stick as always then open your inventory and put on your jet pack then take it off and exit out and you should still be holding your glow stick

    Here is anthor cheat, how to get a torch:

    In Time Tangled Island, you need a glider, then go to the Viking Time, and go into the cave. When you have the torch in your hand open your inventory then put on the glider and take it off and exit from the cave.You should be holding a torch that never burns out, even if you go into the water!

    1. For me, the glow stick is allot easier. All I have to do is turn on atoms power and boom, glow stick. If I remove the glow stick, the atoms stop working on Poptropica BUT on my friends tab its still working. Pretty cool, right?

  38. cool i discovered a glitch where you can push on air all you need is two poptropicans. first you need to push on a wall and then have a poptropican facing the wall in talking distance and have them busy. if they are saying sorry im busy right now and if you click on them after pushing against the wall you should be pushing against air and or (sometimes) appear to be in the wall.

    1. Yeah, once I did that and was trapped in the wall, no way to escape. So glad I didn’t press save & quit!

  39. I got a cheat.Remember its from Microchip545, Slide walking and robot walking.
    All you have to do is hold CTRL+SHIFT+2 and keep holding it then walk,now your slide walking with closed eyes!To robot run,do that same thing,old CTRL+SHIFT+2 and keep holding it and now run.Now your arms are facing forward and not moving. 😆 funny eh?Try it and post a picture doing it.XD.Enjoy!

  40. I got another cheat.When your on shark tooth and you rescue two guys on the other island when they keep following you and click on that fisherman when he goes to the edge by the water,one of the rescued ppl keeps going in and out of the water.Like 1 coming in and out under the land. 😆 i’m cracking up here!

  41. Another cheat!When you go to your existing account keep going everywhere and also press back.Then there’s a new character called Name Unknown!Cool eh?You can save the game too.If it doesn’t work then try go to your existing account then keep going and go to save and quit,then go back to your account again,and THEN press back and keep pressing back and past then index thing,and Ta-da!Took long to write thing.But enjoy! 😉

  42. Hey another one.When you have fully completed Nabooti go to where the totem left,then jump on the platforms and go almost to the hold and ta-da!Your standing in mid-air!It’s like your already on a totem! 😆 Enjoy!

  43. This is kind of off-topic and isn’t really a cheat, more of a glitch. One of my poptropicans STILL has the Blue Moon Fairy outfit! Do you know why this happened?

    (The outfit is from the Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure ad)

    Hijuyo: Probably because you haven’t logged in to Poptropica in a while, so it wasn’t removed from your inventory. 😉

    1. Weird, huh? I still have ALL of my ad items from late 2009! I’m enjoying it, but I keep wondering if they will just disappear one day. I log on every day, too!

  44. NEW POPTROPICA GLITCH
    At Haunted House, If you click “Items” a UNDEFINED folder will come up, and it will only have one item, a Counterfeit Island Underground Tunnel Ticket. Credit to the PHF.

  45. This is a cool glitch. go to Spy island and go to the line connecting HQ and the other building jump on the line and when you are on the line shoot the grapling bowtie at the ground you will be walk on a power line!

    it may take a few tries

  46. I know a glitch! 1. you go to the fountain on astroknights 2. you type in the fountain code 3. you click on the tile u type the code on while it is lowering(this may take a few tries) 4. you type the code again 5.water comes pouring out of the fountain but there is no pool of water!

    1. I have another glitch! Go to main street on the platform that takes you up to the retired superhero.now get flower power(if you cant buy it or dont have it u cant do it),start growing flowers while you are on the moveng platform,u should get flowers growing at all different heights! 😀

  47. PHB, on Poptropica, I found yet ANOTHER glitch. Just follow these 3 simple steps:

    1.Go to Poptropica.com
    2.While the main Poptropica screen is loading, click down on the mouse and spin it in circles.
    3.When it is completely loading, continue to spin and hold down (left side) and a character with a french hat will fall down VERY quickly!

  48. I got my face to turn red!
    You have to do the mad glitch then jump
    on a rope. Tada your face is temporaily red!
    Because once you move it goes away.

  49. Okay, maybe this one has already been found, but on Reality TV island, if you stand on the spinning blade of the helicopter, you start doing the cry emote (the one where it looks like they’re saying “Why?”). And, if you try to move a little bit away, you start walking in the opposite direction from where you clicked. It’s pretty awesome!

    1. On totem hop, sometimes the screen freezes and A random player does every-thing that a poptropican on EVERY island has ever done! It happened to me 2 times! Also, when your about to clic the vote button, hold a guitar, press spacebar, and click vote. If your not wearing any glasses or somethin’ your poptropican’s eyes will be (temporarily, only until you begin a challenge or leave the show) SHUT/CLOSED! 😀

      1. Yeah I tried it the first day it came out and it looked like I was an angel!

      2. Yeah! It happened to me! I was seriously spooked out. I tried to do it again but… I lost, but the other characters did it! I took a pic! Scary, and there heads were DISEMBODIED! Gross AND funny!

  50. Funny glitch- RTV:

    Okay, do really bad on a mission, so you know your leaving

    Then, press begin voting and vote like you normally would.

    When the judging begins, press ctrl-shift-4

    Now when you get voted off, instead of crying, you smile and float away =D

    Its so funny!

  51. What do you know? One day after Easter, I found another Easter egg on Poptropica!

    Bouncing on a Point:

    1. Go to Astro-Knights Island.
    2. Walk up to Crop Circle Inn. Do NOT enter.
    3. Jump onto the roof over the door.
    4. Jump onto the windowsill.
    5. Jump onto the roof.
    6. Try to hop onto the highest point on the roof. If you character goes to the side, try again. It will take several times.
    7. If you did everything right and are lucky, you will be bouncing on the point. You will constantly go up and down. Duck, and you’ll still bounce. Jump at your own risk of ending the glitch.

  52. you can get a wine glass by:
    1.After becoming a chief at the bad bistro, get the boss’s order
    2.when he gives you the wine glass go to the kitchen and go up to the top, there you will see an opening go into it.
    3.after you get in to the opening go up until you see an exit
    4.jump across the lamps until you are over the door
    5.come out of the bistro and you will be carrying a wine glass

  53. here is a cool glitch. Go to reality TV and go to the billiards place. Then, go to the first pool table on the left. Then, jump up and down in front of it multiple times very quickly. After about five times, you should be jumping on your own! To stop it click on somebody.

  54. Go to time tangled and go staight down rope. you will see a crab kepp clicking on it for a bit. it will expolode. then rebuild itself its heaps funny!

  55. i found a glich.go to the underground cave in nabooti. then grt on the “roller coster” and actavate flower power from store. then press the space bar and the flower goes up and falls down.

  56. You have to finish your mythlogy quest then put on the Hade’s crown and Poseidon’s trident press spacebar to unleash both of the power and then take them off you will have the power without the crown and trident. It will disapper when you exit or go to other place.

  57. I found a cool glitch!You have to be holding the trident of poseidon,go to poseidon’s beach, walk in between the orange and green umbrellas,push the spacebar once, the push it again, and ur invisible!

  58. i found a cool glitch:
    1. in mythology island, when you got the trident and crown,go to zeus’ realm and light the 4 statues
    2. when your character is wears the crown and the trident, press and hold ctrl, shift and h
    3. when the battle began, let zeus sturck you down and give up
    4. go down
    5. your character should be wearing the crown and the trident and when you press spacebar, you will be supersized and have white electricify even if you didn’t defeat zeus!

  59. I have an Easter Egg! However, you need the torch and the electrifier from the poptropica store to do it. Ok 1. Turn on the torch. 2. Set the electrifier to the color you want. 3. Watch as the torch changes to the color of the electrifier!! I’ve named this glitch “The electrifire”

  60. Hey PHB, I was wondering if I could use these cheats. I’ll give you guys credit and a link back to this blog. So can I? 😉 -HS

    Hijuyo: You can use the general idea, but if you want your readers to see it word for word, don’t copy and paste. Just put a link to this page. 😉

  61. i have a glitch! if you have hades crown and posidens trident your in good shape. put them on and go to mythology island. go outside of posidens temple. get into the water and press the space bar 2 times really fast and youll dissapear!!!!!!!!!!!

  62. I found another one!
    Run in place: Go to the helicopter on Reality TV island and jump onto on of the spinning propellor things. If you stand still, you will move to the middle but if you run away from the center you will be running in place!

  63. Go to 24 Carrot Island. Enter the Carrot King Diner. Go to the drinks. Mix up any 2 colors (for example, blue and yellow). That’s what your hair color will be!

    1. Sorry, but that isn’t really a glitch, more like a pre-programmed event that is normal…

  64. -hey guys i have another glitch!!!! if you have the flame thrower wand from the spy next door little mission put it on then turn it on by pressing the space bar. when it is turned on go to your items and get a gun. after you have the gun exit out of items. when you get back it looks like your gun is on fire

  70. I have a cheat that might intrest you! If you have the glow stick on early poptropica, go to the cave where you use it. If you have jet pack, put it on and take it off in the cave. Go out of the cave and Ta Da! You have a glow stick!

  71. ok when i do command shift r (im on a mac) i stay a girl i want to change into a boy!!! someone help

    Hijuyo: Keep doing it to change your costume.

    1. Apparently, dgpops, Randomizing is different now. If you were a girl in the beginning, you will always be a girl. It used to be available to randomize to a boy, but now its not. I guess that is how poptropica is now. (sigh)

    2. Yeah, I noticed that, too. Maybe the creators changed it, or maybe you just have to keep on trying…I did change into a boy once, though…

  72. I found this weird glitch. Go to Astronight Island, (does not matter whether you have beaten it or not), stand directly under the fountain with the rocket on it, then jump up. You appear to be going straight through the cement bowl. 🙂

  73. this may intrest you guys………….
    go to the spy island and then go right on top of the hair salon. you will see this red thing. stand on it and it will blow bubbles!!!!!! haha!!!!!!!!

  74. None of these codes will work because I have an Apple Mac.

    Hijuyo: If you use a Mac, you can use the Command key instead of Ctrl.

What's popping, Poptropicans?
