The (Great?) Pumpkin
Start off by going to the right of Great Pumpkin Island to the pumpkin patch. Find Linus and talk to him. He will ask you to give his sister (Lucy) the heaviest pumpkin.
To do this, put any two random pumpkins on the balance scale to measure them. Set the lighter pumpkin off to the side so you won’t pick it up again, and keep weighing the pumpkins until you get to the heaviest one (the last one remaining), then give it to Lucy. Be quick, you only get 30 seconds!
Lucy will then ask you to roll the pumpkin over to the Van Pelt house. To do this, just keep pushing it. When you reach the rabbit holes, don’t let the rabbits come up under the pumpkin. If it touches a rabbit head, it will be sent flying and you’ll have to start over from your last checkpoint (flag).
To avoid getting it stuck in the log, build up speed on the pumpkin before rolling it through there. At the swing set, get as close as possible and stop, then roll through quickly while all three kids swing back.
Van Pelt house
At the Van Pelt house, after Lucy cuts the pumpkin, speak to Linus and he will reward you with a Trick-or-Treat Bag.
Then Lucy will chop the pumpkin, and a quick cutscene will follow. Later, give the bag to Pig-Pen (the dusty boy outside the house), and he will give you a lemon-flavored Sucker in return.
Return to Linus, give him the sucker, and he will give you a Party Invitation.
When he leaves the room, walk over to his desk and pick up the Pen. Exit the house.
Leaf pile
Walk left to reach Charlie Brown’s Backyard. Talk to Charlie, and he’ll ask Snoopy to help him put the falling leaves into a pile. You will then get to play as Snoopy – your task is to wait for a leaf to fall and use the dog’s breath to move left until the leaf rests onto the pile of leaves. Do this for five leaves.
Then Linus, with his wet sucker and blanket flying behind him like a cape, will jump in and ruin the pile.
Go back to Main Street, where you will find Linus by the mailbox. Talk to him, and he’ll wonder where is blanket went. Go back to the backyard, click on the remains of the pile, and move your cursor in a fast and circular motion to blow the leaves out of the way, revealing Linus’s Blanket.
Football
Go back to Main Street and and return the blanket to Linus, who is standing by the mailbox at the far right. He will use the blanket to mail his letter to the Great Pumpkin.
Now return to the backyard, where Lucy is trying to talk Charlie Brown into letting her practice a football trick with him. She even asks him to sign a document stating that she won’t trick him, but Charlie doesn’t have a pen. Give Charlie the pen you got from Linus’s desk and he will sign the contract. However, Lucy tricks him anyway and he falls flat on his back trying to kick.
Plus, it turns out the contract was never notarized. Sorry, Charlie!
Flying Ace
Pick up the Football from the ground and go over to Snoopy.
Throw it up in the air, and the aviator cap will be knocked out of the tree. Now playing as a World War I flying ace (Snoopy), your mission is to infiltrate the enemy’s territory and last 60 seconds without being shot down to succeed.
All you have to do is fly around on Snoopy’s doghouse and avoid the bombs being dropped from the Red Baron’s plane. One way is to fly inverted along the top of the screen. When he drops bombs, veer back the opposite way to dodge them.
Crashing behind enemy lines, your character and Snoopy will have to avoid being seen by the searchlight. Hide behind rocks, in a trench, in a haystack, behind a road marker, in the river, behind a bush at a shed, and finally behind a chimney.
Once you get all the way to the right, click to go right.
Halloween Party
Take the green Halloween Mask off the scarecrow and put it on your face.
Enter the farmhouse and a voice will welcome you, saying, “Come on in and join the party!” Inside, you will see kids from the Peanuts gang partying in the spirit of Halloween.
Succeed at each of the party games:
- Bobbing for Apples: Click on apples when they are up. Bite 6 of them, and don’t miss – three strikes before you win means you have to play again!
- Drawing a Jack o’ Lantern: Carve out any reasonable face you like into the pumpkin by drawing on Charlie Brown, who is modeling for this task.
- Pin the Face on the Pumpkin: Put each of the 5 features (stem, right eye, mouth, nose, and left eye) close to where they belong, in the dark. Get at least 85% accuracy to win.
- Schroeder’s Piano: To play the song, press the key below each of the falling balls when it enters a box in the row above the keys. Hit the correct notes while keeping Snoopy’s dance rate above the red line to win. There will be sound when playing this game!
Trick or Treat!
Once that’s done, you get to go trick-or-treating! Go with the gang dressed up in costumes when they walk away from the pumpkin patch. Knock on the door by clicking on the house. Candy will be thrown into the air. Jump up to get one of the treats.
From the four houses you visit, you’ll get four different types of candy. Each time, the gang will report on what they received – and Charlie Brown will always get a rock.
Take the Bag of Candy to share with Linus and Sally back at the pumpkin patch. A cutscene will follow where Sally storms off angrily, having been cheated out of tricks-or-treats time as there was no Great Pumpkin after all.
Lucy comes in thanks you for watching her over little brother Linus, who later falls asleep in the pumpkin patch. She will award you with the Island Medallion and credits to spend in the Poptropica Store. Good grief!

Trivia
- Great Pumpkin Island is Poptropica’s 15th island. It was released on September 30, 2010 for members, and October 14, 2010 for non-members.
- As of July 10, 2015, the island became locked to members only, with a demo for non-members.
- The island is based on the classic Peanuts TV special It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
- During the early access period (Sept 30–Oct 14, 2010), members who logged in received an exclusive Woodstock Follower item.
- Starting from September 7, 2010, a preview version of the island was available to everyone. As the days went by, more characters were added to the island to be interacted with: first Charlie and Linus, then Lucy, then Snoopy.
- Common room: Flying Ace Cafe
- While trick-or-treating, Charlie Brown will always get a rock, unless you get it first.
- Because the characters are drawn in the style of the Peanuts comics, they are not customizable.
- You’ll play as Snoopy as he avoids the Red Baron, a German fighter pilot during World War 1.

😛 i did not know your a girl.But now i saw your website and it saids her.LOL!
Instead of getting 50 credits, I got 150!
-_- do u even read the blog posts?
yor’re a girl?
Hijuyo: Yes. It’s also on the About page. 😛
that was so like easy i havent even to use this but i didnt know the whole part of it so i used it anyways
its easy
i was right
thanks for the help
Look every time i do the piano i am doing so well the my guy says snoopy dose not like it
piano part is hard!
IKR
yeah,i had to do it so many times(I think 10 times)
Same here, except 20 times. I didn’t put the sound on, instead I hummed my own tune o3o.
how do you do the piano part??????
Hi hi.juyo thank you for this amazing guide.I bet a kangaroo could do it!Yes this is a complement.
easiest island yet thanks! i spent a whole month trying to beat it restarted it with this guide it took 5 minutes
wow youre awesome
For this island, I got 150 poptropica credits instead of 50?
slantedfish: They recently raised the reward to 150 credits. 🙂
wait, can u tell me how to draw the pumpkin face without the flash shock wave crashing??? tysm 😀
Slanted Fish, I can’t finish, because of the drawing of the pumpkin face
It always crashes 😦
slantedfish: Contact Poptropica support so they can fix it!
Slanted Fish , thank you for your walkthrough😊
Sounds fun! Cant wait to try it!! 😀
I only read the last line, the end, and I was kinda dissapointed that there WASN’T a great pumpkin. 😛 But anyway, can’t wait to play! 😀
This island was kinda fun. I was smiling when I realized that Charlie Brown was always going to get a rock. But to me, it was way too short. It’s about the equivalent of Shark Tooth or Early Pop. I guess they wanted the younger kids to keep playing.
Oh well, like RTV, GP gives us pretty easy credits! Unlike SP or AK…
that’s true,but but there should be something interesting that we can do in this island
Yeah…it seriously should have been waayy longer..i mean i finished it within an hour! i think it might even be a little shorter than shark tooth and reality tv!!
well, i just finished it for the sake of it being finished and out of the way, it could be a bit longer… the best island is skullduggery island.
i was a bit dissapointed about how short it was, too…but i guess little kids need games too. also, if this game is for younger kids (which it probly is) the shouldnt have made the piano game so hard!!!
the piano is hard
@Lissa Dragomir,your right it was WAAAY too short,big nate was a bit harder.
big nate is really fun and easy
So he DOES get a rock…
You did good, creators. Even if it is a little too easy.
I got a rock too Charlie Brown.
next to early poptropica in my personal opinion this is the easiest island. but however it is nice to have a small easy island break after steamworks and skull duggery. it is a shame though that you can’t replay the multiple games that appear throughout the island
Totally right! Skullduggery and Steamworks were WAY to hard!
absolutely its been a week and I havent finished skulldeggery.
Create a new account and replay them…
Must be pretty easy…
Go to map an press replay island. It’ll completely restart it, but I guess if u want it….
Great pumpkin has only been out for a few days and you already have a walk through! this is the most helpful blog ever!
I love, love, love, this island! It’s great for me, because I love the Peanuts characters! 😀
I like the free mask that you get!
FREE STUFF RULES! 😀
LOL true
O: I just finished the island, and I didnt get any free credits!!
Well, are you sure? Did Lucy get Linus out of the pumpkin patch?
cool… WW1 refrence… LONG LIVE SNOOPY! awsum island but a little 2 short. :p
Hey. 🙂 Remember the part where you need to get the blanket? I can’t seem to get out the remaining parts of the leaves… 😦 Please give me some tips! Thanks.
Hijuyo: Talk to Linus, go back to the pile of leaves and click on them, then simply move your mouse cursor around in a circular motion around the screen, on top of the leaves, to “blow” them away.
Woohoo!!! I did it twice in a row (2 accs)
The walktrough was great but the island is the worst of all of the others.
P.S. Love the website
I accidentally got all of Charlie Brown’s rocks….
lol so did i…yet i ended up with a bag of halloween candy
I didn’t catch any candy what-so-ever, yet I somehow got heaps of it. It was funny when Charlie Brown kept on getting the rocks, but what I thought was even more hiliarous, was in the pumpkin patch, the pumkin started hovering and the kids’ like, “IT’S THE FREAT PUMPKIN!!!!!” Then, it just turns out to be Snoopy. LOL!!!!
At one point, I felt generous, so I got the rock for good ol’ Charlie Brown.
What I did was in the ww1 part I played the ‘Mission Impossible’ theme and at the halloween party I played ‘Thriller’ and and the gummy bear song (I found all these on youtube. Makes the experience even BETTER!
thanks! that was fun! the ending was sweet 🙂
Thanks for the guides 😀
Hey, this caught my eye( liking sparkilin cider in the moon light at night). One word cool.
pretty good, but i HATE the stupid searchlight part
Me too, I must’ve spend like 10 TIMES doing it
Bobbing for apples is hard ugh!
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!
I spent 25 TIMES With the help of my dad! But it’s so easy now. 😛
LOL I finished it in one go, and I accidentally skipped some of the ‘safe’ points, like, I skipped the haystack, the little signpost, the grass. 🙂 LOL
This was such an easy Island.
this helped so much i beat the whole island in about a hour thanks
Awesome guide. 😮 But for the pin the face on the pumpkin, I got 84% and still passed. xD I got the eye in the same place,YAYY
You guys are liek..pop masters xD
If you go Linus’ room in GP island,on the shelf,is a peanuts comic book you can see! 😀
I LOVE SNOOPY! HE’S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!
I TOTALLY AGREE!! SNOOPY IS SO CUTE!
I was so excited to see this little quest because I am a huge fan of Peanuts!!Oh and thank you for the walk through it was helpful!
I Love moshi monsters! My name for moshimonsters is zailoo27 poptropica:
lnicoleb. They are terribly addictive.
Hey! Sorry about saying THAT i didnt mean to write it there. oh, you play webkinz, huh? I do:)
the most hardest parts are the piano and bobbing for apples
true.
That piano game is so hard! I’m stuck on it.
Hijuyo: Keep trying; you can do it! 😉
HELP! My poptropican started slipping on the desk in Linus’s House , and won’t stop. I can’t do anything, because the it’s still loading!
Hijuyo: Log out and log back in. Use the PopMatrix to teleport elsewhere if necessary.
Thanks! It worked when I used PopMatrix.
Wow… but I can’t seem to get past that last part!! I’ve finished the games but there is no one at the pumpkin patch… did I miss anything? PLZ HELP ME!! I REALLY WANT TO GET THIS DE SO I CAN MOVE O TO ANOTHER ISLANDthx!!
Hijuyo: After the Halloween party, you should go left of the pumpkin patch so you can trick-or-treat with everyone else. After trick-or-treating, you will be finished with the island quest. 😉
The first time I completed it, it was SERIOUSLY HARD. Then, as I completed it more, it got easier and easier and now it is a piece o cake for me!!!
No…I think for the Pin the Face on the Pumpkin game, you have to get at least 80% accuracy, because I got 82% accuracy and won.
^O^
Hijuyo: Maybe it changed since the time of writing this guide?
It was fun but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy yoo short i find skullduggery too long and cryptids EPIC
Thanks again. Hiding part took me ages!
Cool Name.. IT RHYMES! 😛
Help you with what, exactly?
When I was rolling the pumpkin at the start of the island, the swinging kids KEEP smashing it. I got so frustrated, I built up enormous speed on the pumpkin and rammed at the kids. To my surprise, I passed them 😀
I did it again on another account. First time: fail. Second time: succeeded…
It’s Hard in Piano i Don’t know the key’s
When I go to blow the leaves none of the leaves fall what do I do?!!!
this island is short, but i like big nate same as this island, its just like the same U know
This Great Pumpkin is really hard when you get to the chimney hiding part. I wish I could just skip it.
Great Pumpkin Island is cool but very hard on the piano part
on the hiding part where your at the house i got stuck and i did it over and over like 70 times til i got lol thats pretty long
Thank u! Walkthrough was great it helped me heaps!
I love Charlie Brown. My teacher showed us all the films. This one was awesome, with Charlie Brown cutting holes all over his costume and then getting a rock. I wish we could see more of Woodstock in this island, though. Otherwise, its my favorite.
I love Woodstock he is SOOOOOOO CUTE
Great guide I can`t wait to pass Great Pumpkin Island!
WAA! I stood on Linus’ desk, intent on giving him the sucker. Instead, I am continuously falling onto the desk, and I can’t stop. I will not download PopTransport, and I don’t want to lose my progress.
Slanted Fish: PopTransport can be used without download. If you’re stuck (in a continual loop you can’t get out of), this is probably the best option.
I always finish islands with this website
moshi_happy I ❤ moshi monsters and poptropica. They are so addictive
Yes they really are!
I love moshi monsters and poptropica so much once I spent 24 hours with just one break playing them. If any of you what to friend me my usermame is acanel for moshi monsters it`s audreycanel.
Hi! How do i make a guide so you can post it here on your site?
the pumpking keeps getting stuck in the log even when i am running really fast ?
i have one this island 36 times it is so easy. i somtimes win the piano part before the song finishis add me de3907
what’s the piano song called?
Poptropica creators should create a scary island, and not like ghost story island more like a really scary island. :O That would be epic…
Oooooooooh! *makes kissing noises*
What does romance have to do with this?
Thanks for the walkthrough it was very helpful!!!!!!
It took me sooooo long to avoid the kids on the swings!!!!!!! It’s sorta like they’re trying to hit the pumpkin from the expressions on their faces!!!!!!!!
I have to keep doing the piano part. My mouse doesnt move fast enough 😦
Wow! The piano part took me AGES!!!!!!!! I also am a HUGE fan of PoptropicaHelp.net. IT IS SO FRIGGIN HALPFUAL!!!! 😀 And this IS outdated but, Friendly Star, you and Grey Bear could become friends! If you ever read this could you tell me your username and something about yourself also, if you ever get the chance? :3

it was very short and easy even compared to shark tooth island but i couldnt hide on the chimmeney and i kept on getting spotted
I’ve been doing heaps of hard islands and I finished this one really quickly. I’m happy they made this island easy, it is fun to have some hard islands but it is also good to have a few easy ones. But I was hoping that we could see great pumpkin!!
SUPER EASY ISLAND!!!!!!!!! I would put it 3rd easiest island. Early poptropica then shark tooth before it. but you don’t need to get a different lolly each time when you go trick or treating cuz I accidently didn’t and I still got the bag of candy.
add me and my friend if u want more friends!!!!!!!!!
cheriebell1 is me
helloheros is my friend
I’m glitching when I’m “rolling the pumpkin” stage.I’m at the bottom and could not see myself!
lol that happens to me sometimes as well Ani!! but I usually can still move. It is hard to know where I am but I can still work it out. But I probably wouldn’t be able to do the rolling part without seeing myself. 😦
Wow this was the easiest island I ever played!
I can’t pass the piano part 😦
I can’t pass the piano part either. 😦
I love this game
The Great Pumpkin game awesome I even watched the movie on YouTube
I haven’t got to the Halloween party yet because I can’t hide from the red baron
i can’t get back to the flying ace game please help me
Nevermind.
I have finished what I was told to do. WHAT DO I DO NEXT?????????
the pumpkin keeps on breaking what do i do please help
Alot of you are having problem in carrying the pumpkin back to Linus & Sally’s house in one piece. Well, let me tell you how:
1. First, push the pumpkin slowly so it will not break…
2. If you push the pumpkin fast, it will break in a hole, however if you push it slow it will not.
3. After that, DON’T push the pumpkin fast again, if you do, your pumpkin will fall down breaking it.
4. Push it to the right side and there will be a check point. (A flag)
5. Push it left, but be careful! Rabbits are there, don’t push your pumpkin when the rabbits heads are up. Push it when the rabbits are in the hole. There are 4 rabbits in total.
6. After that, Push the pumpkin FAST. Why? You will see a log, and if you push it fast, it will go in the log and not get stuck.
7. You will then see 3 kids swinging, when the kids are swinging back, push the pumpkin VERY FASTLY, so you don’t end up breaking it.
8. I think that’s it! You will see check points along the way, so even if you do break it, don’t worry it will start over from the check point.
I hope I helped ❤
I cant do the piano!!!! 😦
I can play the (real) piano, but this was plain hard.
Tanks so much i just had one problem when i start at the piano its good it goes over the line but then it speeds up
Thanks for the help. It took me a while to get past the spotlight part but it turns out i had to hide behind the chimney!
when snoopy helping but it not working maybe must be my internet is broken or not
the blowing of leaves into a pile is very hard because when I blow it into a pile it doesn’t goes there
Helped me a lot!
Really helpful thanks so much 🙂
Thanks for the walkthrough, it helped me a lot!
i am still stuck on the piano part the mouse is too slow to click the keys ar once
Can’t get through the piano part. I’ve tried it several times (over 20) and I just can’t do it.
Can’t get past the spotlight part. It won’t give me enough time to get onto the post and run across the house to get to the chimney. So stressful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very good post. I am facing some of these issues as well..
Help! My shock wave keeps crashing when I start drawing on Charlie Brown’s head for the Jack-o-lantern. What should I do?
That happened to me too!
OMG it keeps saying that the flash shockwave crashed!!!! right when i take my hand off the first pumpkin eye!!! -_-
Update your Flash Player and web browser to its latest version. If problems still persist, contact Poptropica support so they can fix the issue!
looks like they fixed the glitch, tysm slanted fish! 😀
i wish i was a member then i could complete it
Same ):
Every time i try to get candy i get stuck in the wall. is it me who is saying, ‘i was undefined’ or was it someone else
Sorry to hear of the glitch — there shouldn’t be an “undefined” in there. Try playing on a different web browser?
