Welcome to Cryptids Island, where you’ll be on the hunt for mythical beasts and legendary creatures! You will arrive on Main Street. Walk right and a guy will hand you a Reward Flyer, which explains that local billionaire Harold Mews is offering a million dollars for proof of the existence of cryptids.
Head right, past the fancy houses, and climb up the tree with money stuck in it.
Hop up and grab the Five Dollar Bill.
Now head back to Main Street and enter the General Store. Click ‘Use’ on your newly-found $5, and you’ll be able to buy a Sports Drink! (Everything else is just too expensive!)
Go back to the lane with the fancy houses, and give the Sports Drink to the thirsty gardener. He’ll decide to take a break and give you his Gardening Shears to hold.
(Just for fun: You can use the shears on the bush in front of the rich lady’s house. She won’t be too happy, but at least you can make a leafy masterpiece!)
Now, head all the way left, past Main Street, and over to the park area. To the left, you’ll find the girl holding onto a hang glider, and at her request, be sure to give her a push by clicking on her.
Next, jump up the house and find the person sitting in a hot air balloon to the right. Cut his rope with your Gardening Shears and you’ll obtain some extra Nylon Rope.
Now go to Kitty’s Kites on Main Street and click ‘Use’ on the Nylon Rope. You’ll get a brand-new Kitesurfer X250! Go back to the park and go all the way to the edge. You will surf for a while and… lookie here… it’s Gretchen Grimlock, the villain of this island who’ll do anything for Mews’s million dollars. She’s like the updated Betty Jetty: she’ll throw fire balls at your kite, burning your connection to the kite, and… you’ll sink. (Aw, not my new kite!)
Fortunately, the Mews-copter comes in and saves the day! That’s the last thing you see before passing out. Later, you’ll wake up, lying down on a nice comfy bed…
Yay, you lived! Anyway, Harold Mews will come tell you to meet in the foyer. (That’s right! He’s talking to YOU!) First, you have to drink the water that should be on your nightstand.
Exit the bedroom, and enter through the door on the lower right. Since Mews isn’t here yet, check out all the videos. When you’ve watched them all, Mews will arrive. Tell him you’ll help him in his hunt.
Exit the mansion and run to the right. Check out that totally rad private helicopter!
Hop onto the Mews Corp helicopter and pick a destination. You can go in any order, but I’m doing them in the easiest order – so Loch Ness, here we come!
Loch Ness
Go right, to the Pub. Inside the pub, grab the matches and talk to the dude who looks like this:
Play a game of darts with him. Click and hold to drag the dart back, and release to throw. Aim for the center if you can, but if you land in the outer slivers of the circle, you can still earn points.
After you win (don’t give up, you can win), he’ll give you a Rowboat Ticket for a ride on the Li’l Ness. He’ll also upgrade your Ratty Darts to Osprey-feathered Darts.
Go back left, and under the bridge, there should be a guy with a yellow jeep. Talk to him, then click on his tire. Blow it out, and he’ll give you a Rugged Camera.
Now go take a ride on the Li’l Ness. Take a picture of the thing that looks like Nessie.
Go back to the Mews mansion, and show Mews the picture of Nessie. You will find out it’s fake: just some truck tires floating in the pond!
Go back to Loch Ness, and talk to the liar from the rowboat. He will go away, scared that you’ll call local police for tricking you. Now, go back to the pub and talk to the guys who are hanging out. Play another game of darts, and if you win, you’ll get a Submarine Ticket.
Now you get to drive a submarine! Head back to the water and show your ticket to the man by the submarine. Deep-sea diving time! Steer the sub down to the lower left, and take a picture of the weird-looking Nessie:
Return to the pub and show the guys the picture. They will show you a newspaper article about Oh! Looks like another fake. Sigh. But not wanting you to feel bad, the man gives you Peregrine-feathered Darts.
You’ll play another game of darts, but the reward promised is a LIE!!! But the bartender, feeling bad for you, will give you a Penny Whistle.Go on the Lil’ Ness, and go left.
Go left again. Blow the whistle. And…. NESSIE!!! (Doesn’t it look CUTE?)
Take a picture, then head over to the Mews Mansion! The Nessie case will be confirmed.
Himalayas
Now go back to your helicopter, and go to the Himalayas.
Once you arrive at the Himalayas, go up a bit, until you see the Sherpa guide who’s carrying a big load on his back. He looks like this:
Climb up the mountain with him. In this part you will have to run and click the next ring so you can get safely up without falling. You’ll go first, then after hooking your rope to the next ring, the Sherpa will follow. Move when the winds aren’t blowing against you, so it’ll be easier.
You will arrive at a monastery. Go inside, and talk to the monk in the far right corner. He won’t let you take Bigfoot’s scalp as evidence, but he’ll give you a Lantern. Light it with your Matches from the pub at Loch Ness.
Then go outside, and climb a little bit up. Talk to this monk:
You will play a quick game, where the objective is simply to get your piece, the Yeti, to the other side of the board without being trapped on all sides by the Hunter pieces.
Once you beat the game, he will let you pass. Go up and there will be a foot in the snow. Use your camera to get a Photo of Snow Track.
Go back to the Mews Mansion and show Mews the photo. Turns out, it’s just a snowshoe footprint.
Get on your helicopter, and head to Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico
Talk to the farmer. He will give you seeds to take to his brother, and lend you his jeep. Get on the jeep and drive north, to the top right hand corner star. Give the other farmer the seeds, and go left, to grab the Unidentified Fur.
Head back to the lab at the Mews Mansion to test the fur, making sure to follow each step at the lab station carefully. And… you’ll find that it’s just coyote fur.
Fly back to Puerto Rico, and drive your jeep to the star in the top-left corner (farthest from the beginning). Talk to the farmer there, who will tell you that the Chupacabra only feeds on goats that are brown with white spots. You’ll need this tip in a while.
For now, climb up the branches to the right, until you reach the top of a cliff. Pick up the Bolt Cutters.
Now, get back into your jeep and drive to the area indicated by the middle star. Using your jeep, herd three goats that are brown with white spots into the grassy patch next to the bone-like cave area.
Once you’ve herded the three goats there, exit your jeep at that spot and go right until you find the first farmer you met earlier. Hide with him by the boulders. You will hear a THUMP!
Go move the box. Suddenly, it will shake and open, and out pops… the CHUPACABRA!!!
It will growl at you, run away, and leave you in the ground with stars circling your head. Go where the Chupacabra was, and grab the Chupacabra Tooth. Head back to the Mews mansion, and… yay, confirmed! But, wait! You still have to find Bigfoot!
Now you can go to New Jersey.
New Jersey
When you arrive, jump on top of the gas station. Cut the girl free using your gardening shears.
That motorcycle by the gas station looks tempting, but first, you’re going to need instructions on where to go. Next to the motorbike is a dumpster. Cut open the lock using the Bolt Cutters you picked up from Puerto Rico (see above).
Dig out the old bathroom door from the trash, then enter the gas station bathroom and match it with the other old bathroom door. Your character will copy down the completed Bathroom Door Message.
These are the instructions for where you’ll be taking the motorbike. Here it is for your reference:
Now that you’ve got that, it’s time to jump on this sweet ride!
Follow the instructions above, and you will finally come to a small clearing (see picture below). Get off the bike here by clicking on it to look around.
Enter the gate, and through there, enter the house and start heading up. On your way to the attic, you’ll hear a noise, and when you get upstairs and keep walking, you’ll find that it was just a raccoon. Next to it is a Grappling Hook – you’ll want to take that.
On your way down, you should see a monster. Could it be… the Jersey Devil?!
Go outside, and the Jersey Devil will fly away. Use your grappling hook to reach its nest and pick up the Broken Egg Shells.
Now head back to Mews Mansion and test the egg shells in the lab, again being sure to follow the steps carefully so the DNA extraction is successful.
And… yes! The egg confirms the existence of the Jersey Devil.
Mews will tell you that Bigfoot has been spotted in the Pacific Northwest, and that he’s installed the location in the helicopter. Go to your helicopter, and head for the Pacific Northwest.
Pacific Northwest
When you arrive, Bigfoot will be running around. Follow him in your helicopter, and don’t lose sight of him! He’ll eventually scamper off into a cave.
Mews will send you a message, but Gretchen will listen in on it and catch Bigfoot first.
Now you have to stop Gretchen. Jump on her helicopter, and let all the fuel out by clicking on the circle near the front (the opening for her helicopter’s fuel tank).
Next, jump down to Bigfoot’s cage and use your gardening shears. You and Bigfoot will float down to safety in a parachute. Yay!
You and Mews will talk for a bit, and being the good-hearted person you are, you just can’t take that million-dollar reward because he wants to use it to help build a good habitat for Bigfoot. Aw well. At least you get your medallion and credits to spend in the Poptropica Store! Congrats! 😀

Trivia
- Cryptids Island is Poptropica’s 16th island. It was released to members on December 20, 2010 andJanuary 18, 2011 for non-members.
- Common room: Bert’s Bed & Breakfast
- The island’s plot is centered around hunting legendary creatures – Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster,the Chupacabra, and the Jersey Devil. Many players have reported being deathly scared when they first saw the Jersey Devil on Cryptids Island.
- The house in New Jersey where you sight the Jersey Devil has the number 666 on the front gate (the last 6 is hanging upside-down so it looks like a 9). 666 is considered to be the number of the beast (the devil).
- Starting from December 2, 2010, players could visit a preview version of Cryptids Island, where they could look through a viewfinder once a day for a chance to spot Nessie. If you saw her, you’d win a special Nessie Hat. Other interesting sights included seeing Balloon Boy, Captain Crawfish’s ship, a carrot, bag of popcorn, all kinds of dogs, toy sailboats, fish jumping out of the water, a seagull, pelican, motorboat, helicopter, etc.
- Now, if you look through the viewfinder at Loch Ness, you can spot planes, Balloon Boy, and even a fishing boat that matches the one on the docks of Counterfeit Island, called Ribica.
- An external website for the Mews Foundation (http://mewsfoundation.org) was launched by the Poptropica Creators to promote Cryptids Island.
- Players visit real-world locations while hunting cryptids: Loch Ness (which is in Scotland),Himalayas, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the Pacific Northwest.
- If you have the Garden Shears, you can click on the untrimmed hedge next to the well-dressed lady in the rich housing estate next to Mews Mansion and trim the hedge however you like. Make something artsy!
- The yellow jeep at Loch Ness says “Lema” – a reference to former Pop Creator James D. Lema.
- The fence beside the gate to the Mews Mansion is patterned with a foot motif.
- The Bigfoot Fanatic costume was released in the Poptropica Store on December 22, 2010.
- There’s a sound when the Chupacabra escapes from the trap.
- A book for Cryptids Island was released on April 4, 2013.
- The name “Harold Mews” may be derived from the phrase “Herald News.”

Thanks Hi.Juyo for adding in my fail-tastic parts! 🙂
Hey EEFreak you made the guide.
Where did you get the hairpiece on your poptropican?-Angry Popper
When I went to cut the nylon rope, it worked. But then, the person on the hot air balloon re-appeared again and asked me to cut the nylon rope again! He was on the ground. I didn’t do anything and then he disappeared and I received another nylon rope! I now have 2 nylon ropes. Is this a glitch?
slantedfish: Yes, that’s a glitch. 😛
That happened to me too!!!!
THANKS A MILLION! YOU PEOPLES ROCK! AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE! THIS ISLAND ROCKS MY SOCKS SO FAR!!!! Woop woop! Yay life! ^<^ Well, many thanks for being so very brainy yada yada yada and so on…
Lots and lots of love
Briiight Starr xx
Love. Hugs. Peace. rules ok! 😛 Yada yada yadaa x
This is the best website ever!!!!!Thanks for the cheats.
what, GRETCHEN Grimlock? My name is Gretchen. 😦
OMG thank you do much!! ☺☺
After I give mews the Jersey Devil eggs and confirm it is real, Mews never tells me that bigfoot has been spotted, so he never adds a place to the helicopter PLEASE HELP what do I do???
slantedfish: Make sure you’ve done all the other parts prior to that point! Have you finished all the other areas yet?
When it confirmed the Egg Shells were the Jersey Devils, he didn’t tell me that Bigfoot was spotted in the Pacific Northwest!
Hey Hi.Juyo! I’m Blue Raptor and it seems that I can’t find the Jersey Devil’s location. What do I do?
Hijuyo: If the guide’s instructions are confusing, try watching a video to see how it’s done. 😉
Hey blue raptor make sure that you are going the way that shows the y kind of shape and then when youget to the bit like on the photo click look aroundand make sure you have your lantern on!
i am using it now
use your match sticks you found earlier to light up your lamp and enter the gate with 669 an go inside the house
also you may want to friend me my username is: SharneeMae
true
Goto your helecopter, goto new jersy then get the bolt cutters from puerito rico in the farthest star, use them to cut the look of the bin, then get the bathroom door message, go in the bathroom and your poptropican will write down a note. Go on the motor bike and follow the directions. Then light up your lamp with the matches and enter the house (get the lamp from himalyas and the matches from lochness)
Hope i could help!
Hey hi juyo,im stuck on the bit where you go into the attic, i cant get up into the hole.
What do i do?
Argggh!!!….My poptropican says its too dark, and won’t let me in the house! WHAT DO I DO???!!!
i do not know what is mother bereft
i am sorry but the last one is really confusing and hard
ok
Be sure to press ‘look around’ to find the house!
I can’t find the lanterm
The house number isn’t 669 it’s the number of the devil (the 3rd 6 is rotated) and I won’t say it even though I don’t believe in demons and devils and it might offend someone.
make sure you have done all the stuff before
thanks i was saving up so now i have heaps of credits from this site 🙂 ;P
Dont even Sat anything About Nessie,JDragon,Chupa chups and Biggy … -.- I tought they were cute! That made me Pee on my pants D:
Nessie, Biggy and Chupa Chups was cute. And JDevil, despite being terrifying, probably wanted to go home. Here’s a theory-The JDevil wanted to go home, but he wasn’t big enough to get in! So all this time he’s trying to get into the house! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Comments on the Island
“-Cryptids Island isn’t even scar–– HOLY CRAP THE JERSEY DEVIL IS ON THE WINDOW”
-When you’re at the pub in Loch Ness and try to grab a bottle of liquor, the drunken man will shoo you away
-You can cut the rich lady’s fern, but she’ll get mad at you. You can do it many times tough
-Reply with more comments!!!
BTW add me I am luckypotterhead
Thx Poptropicans
I cant get in the attic. im in the house, but im stuck there/:
sarah, you have to scoot the desk over to under the trapdoor then jump onto it and click on “go up.”
I cut a smiley face out of her ferns.
🙂
add me too. I am V5149
and I’ve added funny pelican and shiny seal
yah real helpful but I cant find the bolt cutters 😦
To find the bolt cutters, you go to the top- left corner. When you get there, you just go all of the way right and go on some branches that you jump on. When you get on the top, go to the right.
I am sooo mad i was looking at this then I thought you had to do something and what I did messed up the whole thing and I had to restart I was on Puerto Rico and I had to RESTART just because i didn’t look at this uggg
found them 🙂 thanks for the guide
i can’t go trough the gates because i say it is too dark to see or do anything here how do i go trough?
i cant get the whistle
I didn’t get it either, not offering anymore? what ever lol:)
the whistle is when u beat the guy at darts with the better darts 🙂
lily, first you have to check if you have the lantern from himalayas and the matchstick from lochness. Once you have them, click use on the matchstick
Please help me! When i went to the farmer to get the seeds i checked the guide to see what to do, and when i looked in the bag thingy that you keep your stuff in and it wasn’t there! I tried to talk to the farmer again but he just told me to give the seed to his brother.HELP ME!!!
You don’t actually get the seeds from the person. You just go to the brother’s farm and he says that he got them.
i do not know if you need this any more but the seeds are in the jep.
You have to ride the jeep to the star on the upper north star, and the farmer’s brother just takes it and tells you how his brother is a good guy
Hey thanks so much for these guides! They helped me so much, I went from no completed islands to already having three!
I’m having a little bit of trouble with the game with the monk in the Himalayas. Does anyone care to help? 😦
THANK YOU SO MUCH ITS PARTLY ME BUT PARTLY YOU GUYS FOR HELPING ME IV’E BEEN STUCK ON THIS ISLAND FOR YEARS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Playing the game, just changing where I was changed my Poptropican completely.
Where do you get the box? I go to the right and there is no farmer
thanks but i cant ride the submarine idk why i can only ride the rowboat
I STILL can’t finish the DNA sample what should I do?
Keep trying! It’s not impossible. You just have to follow the exact instructions. 😉
weres the video guide??
hmmm
Hijuyo: You can view it on our Poptropica Help Videos YouTube channel playlist here.
um i figured out that you go back and talk to the guy with the fake-nessie, after you show Mews the evidence, he leaves, and you explore an island place with his boat!! you go back and talk to the guy at the pub, and you play darts to win a submarine ticket! thats all i got so far 🙂
you go through deep waters, and take a pic of “nessie” show it to the guys at the pub, (its a fake!!!
just a boat that sank) then you do a rematch of darts with the guy you beat earlier, play till you win!
(he got WAYY better)… it took me forever, i got it eventually 103-77 😉 you recieve a penny-wistle from the barman, go to the rowboat, and ride it, keep going left untill you’re at the island. Blow the penny-whistle, and the REAL lochness monster comes up! Take a pic, and i goes back down. Go back to the right of the rowboat. Go back to Mews, and show him the pic.-You confirmed Nessie!!
Nessie looked cute. xD
Yeahhhh…. she really was a cutie wasn’t she! 0_o
#cue mad rant# When IIII saw YOURRR COMMENT I THOUGHT THAT NESSIEEE WAAAAS ACTUALLY CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aww, honey, no harm done. I guess I had to find out one day that the world wasn’t allll sunshine and flowerrrrs 😉
Love from Briiight Starrr xx
That’s weird. I won 103 to 78!

LoL! if you look closly at the fake nesse pc you see nessie!!!
yeah but i received the lantern first and when i tried to do the match stick part it just lit the lantern what do i do:( ?
you need the lantern when you ride the motorcycle.
Now all I have to do is print this page out because I never really remember to look back at these pages 🙂 I can’t wait until Cryptids Island comes out for everyone! Thanks for the walkthrough, PHB! I could’ve been stuck on this forever not knowing what to do. I need alot of help on these hard islands. Thanks again!
I take it back… this island is easy!
It’s a challenging island since theres a lot of stuff u have to get like the camera and bolt cutter and dollar. But its pretty fun overall. The camera troubled me the most…
Very nice guide! I’m very impressed! 😀
The easiest way is just to go to Loch Ness first, get the camera and matches, and the fake Nessie tires photo. Then the Himalayas. Then Puerto Rico for the barbed wire fur. Then to New Jersey where you already have the matches and lantern. Then take all of the stuff back to Mews at once. You only have to go back to get the real Nessie photo, and then catch the Chupacabra, and you are ready for the Bigfoot finale.
okay i am going too start over on this guide since this is a very poor example that i am ashamed of
first talk to the guy in front of the souvenir shop holding the soccer ball, he will give you a harold mews flyer. now go east to the area with all of the rich people and go to the end of the block and jump in the tree in between 2 branches there is a 5 dollar bill. Now go back to the general store and buy a energy drink then once again go back to the rich neighborhood and talk to the landscaper next to the overgrown bush and give the drink to him. now he will give you a pair of shears and go west to where you find the people ready to take off in blimps, hang gliders, balloon chairs that look like they were pulled out of the movie up and jump up the light house and get in the hot air balloon and use the shears to cut the rope. now you get the leftover nylon rope. go over to the free kite store (if only that was real) and talk to the lady giver her the nylon rope and pick out the kite surfer x250. now go over to the kite area and use the kite surfer where shortly afterwards grimlock burns your kite where you are rescued by mr mews
you will find yourself in a bed in mr mews’ mansion after talking with you he leaves the room. click the glass of water on the bed stand next to you and get out of bed and leave the room. now go to the bottom right part of the mansion. now just go through and watch all of the videos (you dont have to watch them completely but they are entertaining) now after all of this mr mews will appear after talking to him now go outside and use the helicopter. now fly off too scotland and get the camera. too do this walk over too the man whose truck is stuck underneath the bridge. after talking too him click on his left tire and click the valve stem too flatten the tires. afterwards he gives you a camera.
now that you have the camera go too the himalayas and talk to a sherpa (not in camp he is on a cliff a few rocks below the second rope which says “you cannot go up without a guide”) now jump across a series of gaps and tie the rope to the ring by clicking on it. now if you mess up just climb up the rope if the guide is tied on. or you may have too start over. now when you get through there and you are in front of the monk temple. jump up yet another series of rocks and talk too the monk standing on top of a building. after talking too him you have too beat him at a game of yeti vs hunters. the rules are simple make it too the opposite side of the board without getting boxed in. you can move in the directions the dirt lines are pointing from the place you are at. after beating him he will allow you too enter the temple. now talk too the monk inside and he wont let you take a picture of the yeti scalp and he will give you a lantern. now jump up back too where you met the monk you met earlier and continue going upwards by jumping from the top of the monk temple too some cliffs. eventually you should reach a cliff with some bushes with pink flowers at the top. go too the west end of this and you will find a possible yeti foot print. take a picture of it and go back too the mews mansion. after giving the picture too mr mews and getting the lantern you are now finished with the Himalayan region.
dude its an awesome guide
i ALWAYS use these
now fly off too puerto rico. when you get there you will see the person you helped earlier in the hot air balloon stuck in a tree and a guy with a mustache will help him. when he is finished talk too him. after a short talk he will give you the keys too his jeep and ask you too deliver some corn too his brother. you don’t have too immediately deliver the corn. now drive around two 2 areas on the north west part of the map. one place is full of goats. talk too the guy that is on top of the cliff he will say that chupacabra will only attack goats in groups of 3 or more. and then go too the next area. there you will talk to a guy with a slightly torn up hat. he will say it only attacks goats with spots. while you are in that area go east and you will find some logs protruding out the side of a cliff. jump up those until you reach the top. there you will find some bolt cutters which will come in handy in new jersey.
now drive too the mustache guy’s brothers place and talk too him. he will say that the chupacabra attacked and go check out the fence. there you will find some hair. collect that and go back too the mews mansion and have it analyzed. the results will say it is coyote hair. fly back too Puerto Rico. when you arrive mustache guy will say he is going too trap it and leaves. jump in his jeep and herd 3 spotted goats into the area next too the river near the center of the map. too herd them just chase them with the jeep and run them into the middle of the rock formation. afterwards you leave the jeep and talk to mustache guy. he tells you to hide behind some rocks and wait for the trap. you will then capture the chupacabra and he will ask you too push the crate into the truck. the chupacabra will break the crate and escape, but it leaves behind a tooth. go back too the mews mansion and give it too mr mews, he will say this is considered indefinite proof and confirm the existence of the chupacabra. you are now finished with puerto rico.
Is it ok to not herd the goats anymore?
now go back too loch ness and go to the pub. when you are in there you will have to do 3 things. 1 pick up the book of matches on the bar counter. 2 talk to the two people arguing over the existence of the loch ness monster. and 3 beat the guy standing next too the dart board and beat him at darts so you can have his rowboat ticket. to play darts click the spot the tip of the dart is pointing at and hold the mouse button. this will pull the dart back and determine the power in the toss. after beating him at a game of darts you will get his boat ticket. now go back to the dock and use the ticket. after small voyage the (so called) loch ness monster will appear. take a picture of it with your camera and go back too mr mews and give him the picture. he points out it is a fake and there is a thing in the background. go back too the loch again and talk too the man in the rowboat. you will point out he is a fake and he will run away leaving it so that you can take his boat out whenever you want. go back too the pub and talk to the two people arguing again and beat the younger one at a game of darts. afterwards you will get his darts and a submarine ticket. use the submarine ticket and take a picture of a sunken movie prop at the bottom of the lake that is not too far from where you started. after your underwater adventure. go back too the pub and show the picture. then the kid will say look at the newspaper clipping on the board. click the small one in the center. and exit it. now try too exit the pub. before you leave the guy who lost too you earlier will appear and will demand a rematch at darts. after you defeat him he will storm off calling you a teacher. talk too the barkeep and he will give you a penny whistle. go back too the dock and use the rowboat. go out farther than you did with the rowboat captain and use the penny whistle. slowly but surely the loch ness monster will rise out of the lake and will leave after you take a picture of it. go back too the mews mansion and show mr mews the picture. he will say that this is the clearest nessie picture he has ever seen and confirms it. you are now finished with that area.
that is already in the directions
and finally. go too new jersey use the garden shears and cut down the person in the hang glider. you will get nothing but it is a nice gesture. go too the dumpster next too the bathroom and use the bolt cutters and pull out the bathroom stall door after sifting trough some garbage. go into the bathroom and use the door both of them will combine then and you will get a note of some sort with the directions too the log cabin. after driving the motor cycle there make sure you combine the lantern from the Himalayas and the match book from the pub and light it. now enter the gate and walk through the house. go too the top floor and you will a lot of large thumps in the attic. to get there push the dresser and jump on that to get into the attic. go too the end of the room and you will find a barrel shaking. inside you find the terrible, the horrifying raccoon. now go past the barrel and pick up the grappling hook next too it. leave the house and grapple too the tree you see the jersey devil fly up towards. in there you will find a lot of mysterious egg shells. pick one up and have it analyzed at the mews mansion. afterwards he will say this proves its existence again and leaves it at confirmed. you are now finished with new jersey. now go over too the helicopter. and try to use it. you will get a message from mr mews to track a bigfoot sighted in the pacific northwest. after following the thing for a couple minutes it will run too its home. mr mews says thank you and confirms it. where suddenly grimlock appears on the monitor and tries to steal the bigfoot. run your helicopter into hers before she escapes. now jump on the back of the helicopter and jump above the main blades. you will get hit by them (its unavoidable) and you will land on part of the landing parts. walk over to the gas cap and take it off the helicopter. jump off the helicopter and go too the bigfoot cage. use the garden shears and cut the rope dropping the cage. afterwards you are on the ground and you will use the bolt cutters on the lock for bigfoot’s cage. releasing him/her/it. go back too the mews mansion and talk too mr mews. you have now finished cryptids island
you forgot to say about clicking the Jersey Devil in the window.
Oh well still good job! (We all make mistakes sometimes! 😉
This walkthrough is perfectly fine. I completed it with the walkthrough. Besides…who comments on a walkthrough with a walkthrough?!
Very helpful! Thank you! ^_^
rlly, i needed to read urs to unberstand, lol
hey
You don’t need to write the whole guide on your comment! that’s what the guide is for!
And this is a very good guide! It is not a poor example. and I am not trying to be mean.
extremely impressive super thunder. better than i could have possibly ever done!
No, your guides are amazing! I’ve read them all, and they’ve actually helped me a ton!
Well, both your guides are awesome anyway…
Wow, AWESOME GUIDE! 😀 Super Thunder should do all the walkthroughs-or-however-you-spell-it. :-]
Gosh. 😳 Thank you!
🙂 thanks, this will really help when it is released to the public!
can I make one? I just want you to see it for random purposes…. XD
Hijuyo: Sure, anyone can!
This is my favorite island! Even though i finished it before this guide was posted,good job. 😀 I liked the Jersey Devil Part the best out of all of the cryptids. This island rocks! 😀 (good thing you didn’t post pictures of the cyptids, so people can see them on their own)
PS: It was funny when i saw The Jersey Devil because at first i didn’t see it in the window XD
lmao. i saw it and i jumped of the seat! LOL
Holymoly that…that…THING they call they Jersey Devil is SCAAARRYYY!!! Poor ummm… big… scary thing… so misunderstood…
Ahh, I love life ^<^
Lots of love to you all Briiiight Starrr xx
P.S Don't get scared! It doesn't mean any harm… welll… 0_o I say no more 😛
It's.. it's.. not real is it? I mean… really?
I KNOW!!!! I was just casually walking through the house when a big ugly monster (no offense) poppd out in front of me and made me jump out of my skin. XP And I agree, Bright Star, I.. HOPE.. IT’S.. Not…REAL! *squeak*
*Runs into kitchen to grab cheese to soothe pain* Ahhhhhhh……… Swiss……….. ANd no, I am NOT a mouse or rat or chupacabra…. 😀 !
I think its real….
Yay us!! *jumps and claps for hi. Juyo, EmoEyedFreak, and me* We made an awesome guide together!
You totally did! xx
Yay all of youu! Wish I was that goood at stuffff 😉
Lots of love Briiight Starrr xx
THANK YOUUUU! ^<^
YAAAAA!!!!! WO! I loved your guide!!!!!!!!
The jersey devil scared me! I was playing with my bro watching and we were in the house and he said oh creepy! I’m all like what? And I see it a jersey devil STARING at me… 8-/
XD Yeah I didn’t see it at first either.
hum de dum OH MY GOD. A HUGE UGLY MONSTER!(no harm done)
Ya, the pic of the jersey devil in Mews mansion scared the living daylights out of me! ITS CREEPY!!!
That’s a REALLY good guide/walkthrough but I’ve gotten the tyre nessie picture, I took it to mews, confronted that weird dude in the boat but that kid still won’t let me play darts with him!!!!
Hijuyo: Make sure you follow all the directions mentioned before that step in the guide in case you’re missing anything.
I don’t entirely remember everything in Cryptids, so hmm. Have you showed the picture to tv guys that are sitting around the table? The ones who think Nessie is real or fake?
I made sure I did everything, which I did, including proving ALL the other Cryptids AND showing them the picture, but STILL they won’t let me play darts!!! 😦 So I ended up having to restart the island with the new restart button.
Nice guide too bad i’m not a member :(.
Neither am I buuut I’m not bitterr xx
Love from Briiight Starr xx
^<^
Thank you soooo much! I was stuck for weeks on what to do to help the guy with the trailer!
That was the best walk-through I’ve ever read! Thanks so much I wouldn’t have completed the island without it!
The guide was real helpful, thanks!
The thing never gave me my 100 credits 😦
Yeah, after I finished Cryptids Island, I only got a gold medal and no… 100 CREDITS!!!
That happened to me too. >( I want to get the Biker Girl costume, but, sigh, that will wait ’till Wild West Island if it comes. SIGH SIGH SIGH. 😦
When I first saw the Jersey Devil it scared me like crazy. The bad part was it was night time when I found it.
Night time? Did you scream? Did you wake people up if you did scream?
No I just thought that it would give me nightmares. (It didn’t tho)
I can imagine that- You sitting in front of your computer in a dark room – seeing the Jersey Devil for the First Time. XD That would be kinda creepy not knowing it was there.
Cool guide! I finished it now already! I’m not a member and it just came online now. It’s so cool! \m/
Awesome guide, Super Thunder! It helped me so much! 😀
Hooray, I just finished it! I loved the sweet goats (sooo much) and Nessie! Even the raccoon was cute! 🙂 Thank you so much for the guide EmoEyedFreak, hi.Juyo, and Super Thunder! Awesome!
I ❤ Nessie. 🙂
What happens to your credits if you earn them with Membership?
Hijuyo: You’ll still get credits, but you won’t need to use them unless your membership expires.
I don’t like to cheat, but sometimes I have to, and this is where I always come, thanks a million.
Also, when I read the “Get 3 goats with white spots” part, I was like “Goat!? I thought they were bunnies, aha, thank you sooo much(:
It’s not cheating. EVERYONE does it, if they can/need to. It’s a guide, not a cheatbook.
XD You thought they were bunnies. XD Sorry couldn’t help but laugh! XD
This is the first guide of yours I’ve ever read, Super Thunder. Now I will only use your poptropica guides. 😀
wow!!this island is sooo cool B-).
okay i am a scardy cat and i am afraid to go out of the attic because i dont want to see the jersey devil (in the game) and i am waiting untill i have someone in the room or someone on the phone lol i guess i am not going to be finishing this island soon!
Really? Really Starr? I didn’t know what the Jersey Devil looked like until I went down from the attic. Yeah, I was a YKW but I really wanted to complete the island. The Jersey Devil was scary but obviously it looks more like a half goat-half dragon anyway
On the bottom floor, just close your eyes(in real life) and run left(in the game). Wait about ten seconds and then head out the door. Then close your eyes again. Wait for about twenty seconds to make sure and get to the top of the tree. You’ll never have to see him.
when i go on the rowboat to find nessie with the pennywhistle then the rowboat doesn’t move. what should i do?????
Hijuyo: To move the rowboat, move your cursor to the right and click to “Go Right.” (Or left to go back.)
The Jersey Devil is So freaky when you see it staring at you out of the window. I had to watch the walkthrough video first to see what was going to happen. Thats gonna give me nightmares.
P.S *giggle giggle*, secretscp, the first person to make a cryptids walkthrough, made an error in the video. Ha ha 😀
What was the error? he he
This is an awesome guide. I got a bit confused with the Chupacabra part because I couldn’t tell which star was which but I finished! Thanks so much!
By the way I discovered a cool trick to use in Puerto Rico. You can do it with any goat, but the two on the first star are the best. Walk in a direction away from them until you are directly in front of one. Quickly click the goat and walk in any direction. The goat will follow you for a little while!
Where are the bolt cutters?
Hijuyo: They are on the farthest farm in Puerto Rico.
You can get them, but you don’t need them because I posted the pattern up there.
Hijuyo: Actually, you do need the bolt cutters because you can’t drive around New Jersey without the bathroom door message in your inventory.
I was allowed 2 drive around New Jersey without the bolt cutters and still won
Hijuyo: Well, it’s just more complete and easier if you do get the bolt cutters which ultimately gives you access to the bathroom message.
I just want to say that the goats have to be SPOTTED to catch the cuppicabra. Not black or white.
Yeah, it says that.
thanks! Big help:)
Just completed it!!! It’s a kutesyyy kwlll island – luv it loadiesss xx
Maaaanyyyyy thanks 4 great guide!!!! ^<^
Love Briiight Starrr xx
No offense ;-D. BTW the comments are to Bright Star…CLEARLY. ;-p
Shouldn’t we get a million credits for finding the cryptids? 😉
Oh, that would be AWESOME if we did! Just think of the Gold Cards and Costumes we could get! 😀 Too bad the poptropican is generous and gave the money back to Mews. x]
What I found very irritatable was what the sheet promised but didn’t HOLD their promise:
REWARD
$1,000,000
For the irrefutable proof of the existence of A cryptid. Search the world and bring your proof too Harold Mews to claim your reward.
A cryptid. but we had to find all of them!!! How….[ LYING ] of the creators! Not one, but all five! This is what angered me the most… Once I got the first cryptid I was like “Hand over the money” but he just kept telling me to bring more proof! Luckily I finished. Btw, Awesome guide! Very Impressive!
But you only find four!
Dude, what would you do with a virtual million dollars? You couldn’t buy anything, and besides, the whole point of the game is to get the medal, not the other stuff.
Well, Young Skunk, actually, at the end we told Harold Mews that he should use the milllion dollar reward for him to buy the land around Bigfoot to make him safe and stuff.
Did anyone else notice that the address of the house you see the jersey devil at is 666, the last 6 is just twisted around so it looks like a 9?
Oh yeah i remember that the 6 twisted around to look like 9 instead of a 6. LOL
U made the the goat herding sound a lot easier than it actually was, but other than that ur guide was uber helpful!!!
AWSOME GIDE SUPER THUNDER!! THE DEVIL AND CHUBACA FREAKED ME OUT!:(
PLEASE HELP! I’m stuck on the Loch Ness part where you show the guys the picture and they show you the newspaper article. The gave me a dart but we didn’t play darts at all! is there something wrong? And if not, what do I do?
Hijuyo: As you attempt to exit the pub, one of the men will demand a rematch of darts.
Oh, and the Chubacabra button is NOT on the helicopter since I left that part, CAN I GET IT BACK???
Hijuyo: There’s no “Chupacabra” button. However, the Chupacabra is located in Puerto Rico, which should always be available for you to go back to on the helicopter.
The guide helped me lots Thanks
I don’t know what’s more scary, the Chubacabra, the New Jersey Devil, or the fact that your Poptropican gave away 1,000,000 Dollars!
I think the NJD is the scariest of the 3.
Now that I think of it, shouldn’t the prize been 1,000,000 credits? That’s Poptropica currency so, wouldn’t the prize be worthless kinda?
no its currency for us but not for the poptropicans
the can use whatever the island wishes to give them
Jersey Devil is REALLY SCARY! O.O
NJ is so hard!!
but the guide helped lots thanks!!!
your guides rock!they helped me alot.you are the best!!!
I’m completely stuck on the Jersey Devil. I can’t find my way through the woods!
OMG all u have to do is get the wire cutters from Porto Rico (see above) then open up the trash can, move some stuff and then go inside then your person writes it down. If you know your left and right you should be fine.
U helped me out alot I am soooo glad their is a written walkthrough
You know, you don’t have to get the bathroom door message. You can just ride around and try to find the place randomly.
Hijuyo: But we’ve included how to get it so that riding around is easier. 😉
oh no! The wanted: chupacabra signs picture looks like my dragon!!! Everyone will be after Chester now! 😦 😦
You named your dragon Chester? I see he follows you around because he’s your pet! 🙂
hi.Juyo, after I was done, I went back to the Pacific Northwest. As an extra, you can see some animals and stuff.
Thanks you so much! It’s greatly appreciated. I had no idea what to do then someone posted on some other website that this was a written walkthrough. Thx! 🙂
Goodness that jersey devil is ugly, its scared the living daylights out of me! Just popping its ugly head in the window!!!
Good walkthrough btw
@Crazy Flipper: Dude, the JD is actually kinda how I imagined it. It’s not scary at all 🙂 Capische???
Great guide 🙂
Sheesh. I swear the Jersey Devil gave me a mini-heart attack.
Me too, that mosnter is weeiiiiiiirrrrrrrrddddd and I mean WEIRD! My poptropican expressed my feelings exactly.
the Jersy thing gave me nightmares ‘_’
That thing almost gave me a heart attack! I think it blinded me for a second or two! Then walking out the door, you see it again. When I saw it for a second time, it scared the living heck out of me! It’s the first ugliest thing on earth. And it’s not even real–so how would I know what it looks like?!?! The second ugliest thing isn’t real either–the great(not!) Nessie!
Oh yeah, remember that racoon? Oh, I almost passed out!!! I thought it was the Chupacabra!
Even uglier than my Poptropican? Hes Robot, Zombie, Detective, Shrinkray equipped Rockstar. Plus my username is Uglyx2319 soooo…
WOW! this walk through was great thanx!
omg! this is a awsome web
OMFG! That zombie goat scared the life out of me!
Anyway… so a flying zombie goat lives in a nest and hatches eggs?!?!?!
Great guide! ^U^
Zombie goat?
Hijuyo, I don’t know how to herd the 3 deer to the rock……
Hijuyo: To herd the goats, just point your vehicle and nudge them to where you want them to go.
It really worked! You were smart!
nice love it!!!
OMG im not done yet but this is a BIG help!
Ninja Poptropica
OMG when I first saw the Jersey Devil in the window I screamed O_O. It actually scared me and I’m not lying about the screaming part.
And I pass out for like 2 minutes when I saw it outside of the house o.o
Sounds scary indeed. When i saw it i said ‘ OMG it’s the Jersey Devil run for ur life !!!!! ‘
You don’t want to see it in real life! If you do,don’t look into its eyes whatever you do! :O (It might be real! Giant Squids were proved to be real! Giant Squids were considered cryptids until
one was captured.)
Omigurd. I was so freaking scared when the Jersey Devil cae up.
thanks, this helped loads :–) x
OMG this is the best guide eva and to top it off the best island to 😀
I love poptropica :S
ikr! 😛
Dear PHB,
I need help; i did everything right but Mr. Mews has not told me that he has found the bigfoot yet. I do not know what to do.
Please help.
Anna
Hijuyo: Check to make sure you’ve confirmed all the other cryptids – Loch Ness, Chupacabra, Jersey Devil, fake Bigfoot print – then go back to Mr. Mews and he’ll add Pacific Northwest as a helicopter location.
hi umm can any1 help me? so earlier in the game i showed mews the snowshoe print from the himilayas but that was b4 i had gottn all the other monsters confirmed. now he wont tell me that i have to go to the pacific northwest next and its not in the helicoptr. PLZ HEPL!!!!!!!
Hijuyo: He’ll tell you to go to the Pacific Northwest AFTER you have confirmed ALL the OTHER monsters. Make sure you’ve done everything, not just the snowshoe print.
Show him the print again afterwards if it will let you.
I hate the Puerto Rico one–it’s way hard. I hate the goats. I’m still on it as I type this. I try to chase them to the Place Full of Bones(PFB). They always run out the way of the jeep even though half their body is under it. I only have one goat in the PFB. Stupid, baka goats. I’ll be glad when I finish and the Chupacabra eats the dumb goats. I’ll be glad to see goat guts splattered all over the place(even though they wouldn’t show that). Wait. They might show it(considering what the Loch Ness monster and the Jersey Devil looked like). They were just sooooooooooooo cute(sarcasm)!
>v<
For the goat one, you have to herd the goats into this dark green patch of grass near the PFB. It will tell you when you already herded one goat. The goat thing was really confusing for me.
Hey, Nessie was cute….to me anyway. But I can’t say the same about the Jersey Devil.
Don’t actually run over the goats, just go slightly behind them. It’s easier if you go slow.
OMG this guide is AMAZING!!! i luv all the pics! they really helped. >.<
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR WEBSITE CHEATS! COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITH OUT YOU HELP!:)
thanks for the info
Dude the Jersey Devil is like so freaking scary!!!! When i saw it i went back up to the attic to find a chain saw or a bomb to kill it!!! I then like was lookimg for a gun to shoot it before it got away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCARY!
lol. But supposedly someone shoot a cannon ball at it and it kept flying. :O Also the Jersey Devil’s eyes are said to possibly paralyze you.
It would have been funny if it took your poptropican to a cave and attempted to eat it, but the poptropican gets away and wakes up the next morning and is found by the local police. 😀
And @ the person who said they passed out..did you really or are you exaggerating?
IKR! I GOT SOOOO SCARED WHEN I SAW IT!! THEN I GOT THE HICCUPS FOR 10 HOURS STRAGHT
Hi, thank you for the cheats, they helped me complete the island! YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I bet when you were in the submarine your Humming Bird follower was swimming underwater ^^
Hey guys! Thank you so much for posting these things! It is helping me a lot!
i love this GUIDE SO MUCH! 🙂 🙂 😮 😮 :D:D
THNXS SO MUCH for putting the guides on!
From Quiet Snowball
Oh my gosh! Thanks once again for island help! I screamed my head off when I saw the Jersey Devil! It was sooo funny! 🙂
I liked extracting the Dna xD
Same here! 🙂
So do I, but I was sure that I did everything right and it still said I failed. So I rage quit.
Hijuyo, I was looking at your description and i think its amazing! You want to live your life for God! THats a testimony! So do I! I think it is so great to see young people long to devote their lives to our worthy Creator! I’m 13, and I live in detroit, MI and I really like to serve on the streets. Thank you Hijuyo, that really encouraged me!!!
Hijuyo: That’s awesome! Don’t be afraid to share God in your life too; you just might encourage someone! 🙂
I’m trying, but I’m not perfect, although that has always puzzled me. If we become one of God’s children, then he calls us holy enough to be his! We are new, not the same person we used to be. (2Corinth. 5:17) And Paul writes to the Romans that we cannot be condemned anymore because we are His. Well, as mind blowing as it is, it IS REALLY COOL! 😀 THank you. My friend and I have some BIG plans for sharing God’s word, and we are already carrying through with some of them.
Hijuyo: No one’s perfect except God, but that doesn’t stop us from being an example of having God in our lives. So cool that you and your friend are eager to spread the good news. 🙂
You’re absolutely right! What do you do to share the word with people?
Hijuyo: Simply letting people know you have God in you and then living a Christ-like example is already a great way to get people to notice! 🙂
Thank you!!!
I really am having a hard time sticking it out with my faith. And i’m even going to a christian school! It so hard when everyone else seems to want to break the rules. I really have a hard time reading my bible every day.
Jesus is my Saviour!!!!!
Hijuyo: Just keep in mind that breaking rules isn’t cool with God, even if it seems to impress others! Ultimately we should live for our Savior, rather than give in to what others want if it’s not what God has in mind for us.
I’m thirteen too, but i’m kind of jealous of how others seem to have such an easy time with their faith. I just can’t keep any bible studying schedules!!! It’s getting on my nerves.
Hijuyo: Christianity isn’t always easy, and it might seem that some people have an easy time with some areas, but everyone has their weaknesses they struggle with. But the cool part is, God’s there to help. 🙂
The Jersey Devil freaked me out so much it made me think of quitting Poptropica
just because it was scary.But at least I faced my fears.*sigh*
At least your encounter wasn’t a reality….
TYUH so much !!!!! thanks to u i got the CAMERA
Ha! I’m still not that far, haven’t had the time, but thanks for the warning! 😀 lol
thxs sooooo much 4 this guide! its awesome + useful!
(the Jersey Devil scared me so much i thought i was going 2 get a heart attack!)
When I finished the Island, I had funclipping the (mean) lady’s bushes. At first, I tried to make some shape, but in the end I cut all of the leaves 😉 It was VERY satisfying.
Ah, yes, but then that grumpy old lady threatens to call the attorney… xD
Yeah, but it is still fun to clip mean old lady’s bushes.
Also, i really enjoy your site because i know its a safe christian enviorment that i can trust there aren’t any swear words (except in comments) Thank you soooo much for doing this!
Hijuyo: I’m glad you enjoy this blog! We also try not to allow profanity in the comments section either, so hopefully you won’t see any of that.
Thanks so much! I can’t believe you figured that out!!! 🙂 😉
Its so nice I win
Thanks so much! I could not have done this without you!
thanks for the guide it was useful
Nessie is sooooo cute! ❤ lolz
OMG thank ueeww soe much i wahz so lost nd thiz iz thee only website that has pictures nd detailed writting you ar such a life saver 😀 XD 🙂 THANXXX
XOXOXOXOXOXXOXO
Ur Onetsly Thee Best!!!
