Home Island is the first island you land on when you visit Poptropica, and your rest stop between islands. Here you can find the store and your clubhouse. You’ll also find a short side-quest called “The Greatest”!

Welcome to Poptropica! Home Island is your first stop and is also a place you’ll be coming back to often in between other island adventures.
You’ll first meet Amelia Earhart, an established Poptropica adventurer, who gives you a Novice Adventurer Outfit. You can go to your items to try it on!
While Amelia begins introducing the world of Poptropica adventuring, a guy on giant robot legs clomps by, grabbing the nearby statue of the greatest Poptropica adventurer, Xavier. Thus begins the side-quest, as Amelia implores you to “go after them!” Follow them through the small gate next to the house.
You’ll appear in the backyard, but the guy can’t hear you, so get closer by hopping on the windowsills until you can get to the human seat of the robot legs on the right. Click on the character to ask why they took the statue.
In a dramatic sequence, they’ll take off their helmet, revealing… the same face that’s on the statue! Turns out it’s Xavier, the greatest Poptropica adventurer!
Xavier says they just missed their statue and has been meaning to retire, anyway. Just like that, they give you the cottage, which was theirs when they were starting out on Poptropica! Then the robot legs take off. Sayonara!
The cottage is now your clubhouse to decorate however you like with items from the furniture store. That’s all for this quick quest!

Wow! My name is Xavier, and I have been playing Poptropica for a while, since 2010; you could say that I am a great adventurer, too….
WOW! what a…weird….coincidence
I do not know how to get in the pet shop!!??!!
Sometimes there’s a pet cart on Home Island that can take you to the pet store, though this feature seems to be buggy at the moment. Hopefully it’ll be fixed in a future update.
Slanted fish I understand that you are not Poptropica, I understand you cannot change the game, but I wanted to tell that the pet barn is no longer a thing now you must go into adventure outfitters to purchase a pet, 1 pet will be for members only and the other 5 or 6 pets will be for free. However, Poptropica has no more membership so now all players can get pets. Pets have came out after when… I think pets came out after Mocktropica or Monster Carnival islands came out.
That’s correct, but this is an old comment from years ago. Pets are now obtainable through Adventure Outfitters.
In the store, behind Amelia, there’s clothes. You just hit the button that says Gear or Pets.
Hi, PHB! Thanks for the guide! Sorry, but at the end when you added in “this is the greatest show”, I believe you had made a reference to a movie and one of the songs in the movie. Just saying this now if you haven’t noticed it yet.😉
Yes, that’s a reference to The Greatest Showman. ✨
The hair flip was boss.
how do you go to some ones club house when they send you an invite
On the friends page, you can click “visit” next to your friend of choice to go to their clubhouse.
i can’t get into my backyard after the first quest with the statue! Red Riding Hood is blocking the gate! I already completed Fairytale Island, so I don’t know what to do! Any help??
You can only access the backyard during the Home Island quest. Since you’ve completed it already, you’ll find at the gate characters from other islands asking for your help, such as Red Riding Hood, even if you’ve already helped them.
Yea, it’s kind of annoying to see Bokso or the elves when I’m trying to do a quest or comlete an island!
It’s so funny when he takes off his helmet! 🤣🤣🤣. I keep making new accounts so I can see it again. HAHAHA!!!
You never put the statue back…
boii that was wut my first poptropican looked like!!
I probably would say that the new version sucks and the old version is better
why do people keep from different islands keep on blocking your gate when you chase xavier
