Welcome to Monster Carnival Island! The carnival’s in town, but it’s not all fun and games. From day to dusk and through the night, get ready for a wild time!
Daytime: Get the Carnival Ready
Upon arriving, head right and talk to the young man, Edgar the carnie trainee. He doesn’t think the carnival will be ready in time!
Follow him right into the carnival area. Go further right to the rides and talk to the guy in front of the Ferris wheel, who will tell you that the lever is broken. Go right to the next area, where you’ll find a Lever on the ground. Return to the Ferris wheel guy and give him the lever. The wheel will be fixed!
Next, head left and talk to the lady by the fried dough stand. She needs some sugar and will hand you a Sugar Formula.
Head left back to Main Street and go inside the Apothecary’s building (basically an old-school pharmacy). The apothecary up front, Dr. Dan, will ask you to make him some sodium chloride.
To do so, you’re going to mix sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. Hop up to the chemistry set at the top left. Click on the bottles to the left of the machine to put them in, then click the machine to get it going.
Move the controller with your cursor and click to blow bubbles, which will break apart the original compounds so you can make new ones. For this formula, you’ll want to match the light blue to the dark blue, and light yellow to the dark yellow, which can work by blowing at them to direct movement or waiting for them to find each other. Once they’re all properly paired, you’ll have the Salt.
Give it to the apothecary, and he’ll let you use the chem lab to make sugar for the carnival. Go back up and grab the two bottles to the right: fructose and glucose. Follow the same procedure as before, and you’ll make sucrose (Sugar).
Once you have it, give it to the lady at the fried dough carnival booth. She’ll thank you with some Fried Dough — Edgar’s favorite!
Now it’s time to find a hose for the duck game booth! Go back to Main Street and enter Honest Gabe’s Auto Repair. Tell the worker you need a radiator hose (not the other options!), and she’ll let you take the Hose from the top of the shelf. Bring it to the duck game guy, and his booth will be good to go.
With that, the carnival is ready to open!
Dusk: Capering ‘Round the Carnival
You’ll skip ahead to late afternoon at the carnival. Try a game at the “Pop the Balloon!” booth, and you’ll pick up a Blunted Dart — no wonder no one’s winning. Take it to Honest Gabe’s Auto Repair and use the dart on the metal sharpener to the left to get a Sharpened Dart.
Now return to the carnival and play “Pop the Balloon,” and this time you should be successful. You’ll win a Souvenir Cup!
Next, hop up and let the guy with the scale guess your weight — he’ll be correct. To trick him, you’re going to want something heavy.
Head to the Apothecary and talk to Dr. Dan, then click on the little orange box beside him. Open the contents and take the Vial of Osmium.
Now, go back to the weight guesser. When you outsmart him, he’ll give you a Super Bouncy Ball. This will help you with another trick — go right to the next area and find the Test Your Strength game booth. Sneak the bouncy ball underneath and you’ll win a Hammer!
Find the Ferris wheel guy on the left, who now needs oil to get the ride moving again. Go back to the fried dough lady and use the Souvenir Cup to get a Cup of Oil from her. Give it to the Ferris wheel worker to grease the gears.
When the teens come down from the Ferris wheel, they’ll go into the Tunnel of Love ride. Talk to the worker there, and he’ll give you a Flashlight and tell you to go to the Haunted Lab (to the right) and get a mask to scare the teens.
With the flashlight, you’ll be able to see through the darkness of the Haunted Lab. Inside, go up the stairs, heading right until you find the Human Fly Mask.
Put it on, then head inside the Tunnel of Love and ruin the romantic moment…
That’ll teach them to keep their hands to themselves! Or… maybe just scar them for life. Anyway, they’ll run off, and it’s time you make your exit too.
Outside, a couple of townsfolk will mention that all the carnies ran off into the woods, so let’s investigate! Head right and into the woods, following the trash trail. (The directions are different every time, even though it looks like you’re in the same area.) Eventually, you’ll find the carnies… being hypnotized by a cloaked figure and turning into monsters!
Night: Haunting Adventures
Night will fall, and you’ll head back to the carnival. Watch out for monsters! Jump on the barrel in front of the Haunted Lab to avoid the hunky cat monster.
Follow Edgar into Ringmaster Raven’s tent. Raven says there’s a formula to reverse the hypnotized carnival workers from monsters back to normal, and it’s in the Ferris wheel guy’s back pocket. That’s our next stop!
At the Ferris wheel, equip your Hammer and press the spacebar to stop the ride. The monster will fall to the ground. Pick up the ticket with a Secret Message.
Edgar will mention there are black lights in the Haunted Lab we can use to see the special paint on the ducks from the game. Inside the Haunted Lab, a monster will chase you — no big deal, just turn on your flashlight and run away! Once you reach the top, climb up the shelf and click on the box of black lights. Use the Black Lightbulb to make your flashlight emit black light.
Now exit and go left to the duck game booth. Fish them out in the sequence of the secret message: GORY, or Green, Orange, Red, Yellow. That will give you a Mystery Formula. Time for more chemistry!
But the Apothecary is closed. To get inside, you’ll have to go through Honest Gabe’s Auto Repair. Inside, hop onto the furthest pedestal and click the red “up” button. When you get close to the top, click open the vent and jump inside. Then follow the path and go left out of the vent.
You’ll be on the Apothecary’s side. Blocking the vent are a stack of newspapers, which you can read to learn more about “Bird Boy”… who looks a lot like Ringmaster Raven. He was an orphaned carnie who was blamed for arson at Honest Gabe’s, and eventually exiled out of town.
After clearing the newspapers, you can enter the lab. Inside, grab the three remaining containers — the yellow bromopentane, red sodium sulfidosodium, and blue ethylmalonic ester — and put them into the machine. Now you can make Sodium Thiopental.
Once you’ve got it, bring it to Ringmaster Raven’s tent. Upon entering, Edgar will kidnap you and put you in a chair — turns out he’s under a spell, and Raven is the mastermind! Raven — aka Bird Boy — is taking revenge for the way the town treated him in his childhood by hypnotizing everyone to work for him.
To wake Edgar up, use the Fried Dough in your inventory. He’ll release you and Ringmaster Raven will escape, running off into the Mirror Maze.
Follow him and you’ll find him hiding behind one of the mirrors. Equip your Hammer and smash it where he’s hiding. He’ll continue to run from you — watch where he goes and keep smashing the last mirror he appears in.
Eventually, you’ll succeed in cornering him into getting hypnotized. Under your spell, you’ll instruct him to never hurt anyone again, and to ensure that, he’ll have to be your friend!
The Next Day
Fast forward to the next morning, and the carnival is all packed up and ready to roll out of town. Everyone will be relieved that the madness is over, with a couple of townies expressing regret for bullying Bird Boy all those years ago. When you get to Edgar, he’ll say they’re headed for Super Villain Island.
He’ll also give you your Island Medallion as Ringmaster Raven looks on nearby, locked in a cage. Congrats, you’ve saved the Monster Carnival from its monstrosities! The trucks will drive away, leaving you mumbling to no one, “But he’s my…” … well… see you around, friend.
Bonus Quest (members only)
The town is safe, but now a prominent citizen is missing. Has the monster carnival claimed another victim, or is something else behind his disappearance?
Dr. Dan is missing! Run right and enter the forest. When you get there, you’ll find Dr. Dan, cowering and telling you to stay away.
He’ll run away from you. Follow him up the rollercoaster, and he’ll say he’s hiding because he’s a monster, afraid after what happened to Bird Boy. He’s been working on a cure and hands you a Chemical X Formula to make in his lab.
One of the ingredients is close by. Run past Dr. Dan, jump off the roller coaster, and pick up the Wild Mushroom Extract on the ground below.
Next, visit Honest Gabe’s and take the Pickle Juice on the shelf.
Now go inside the Apothecary to the right. Click on the soda pop machine for the last ingredient: a Cola Soft Drink. Then go to the chemistry set and start working on the formula. When you finish, you’ll have Chemical X.
Go back to Dr. Dan, and let him drink the formula, which causes him to grow horns. He’s just about to leave town out of shame when a whole bunch of townsfolk show up. To his surprise, they want him to stay!
So he gives Chemical X back to you. When you use it, you’ll transform into a mean goblin! You can use it any time, but the effect wears off when you exit a scene, and you can’t save it to your costume closet. Enjoy!

Trivia
- Monster Carnival Island is Poptropica’s 37th island. It was released for members on February 21, 2014 with a demo for non-members. The login screen featured the usual running Poptropicans, followed by a cart for Ringmaster Raven’s Circus of the Bizarre trailing slowly behind. MC Island was released to all on March 20, 2014.
- Monster Carnival Island was re-released with a new ending on Steam on May 25, 2022.
- Up until 2014, Monster Carnival was considered the island that never was. It appeared as “coming soon” on the Map back in early 2008, but mysteriously disappeared one day to be replaced by 24 Carrot Island. (Otherwise, MC could have technically been the 4th island!) You can read all about it in the PHB article titled Mystery of Monster Carnival Island.
- Common room: Lazy Sundae Ice Cream (a play on the phrase “lazy Sunday” and sundae ice cream) — the phrase “I scream (you scream)” on the wall is a pun on “ice cream.”
- According to the first copy of the newspaper you can read by talking to someone on Main Street (The Standard), the current year is 1956. Older issues of The Standard can be read later on in the quest.
- Honest Gabe’s Auto Repair has a sign that says “PPTRPC HQ” – “Poptropica HQ” with the vowels taken out. Poptropica HQ plays a major part on Mocktropica Island. There is also a sign that says “the best Krpata motor oil” – a reference to Poptropica Creator Mitch Krpata.
- “Honest Gabe” is a play on “Honest Abe”, the nickname of the 16th US President, Abraham Lincoln. However, the auto shop worker tells us that Honest Gabe (the store’s founder) was hardly honest and is in fact serving a prison sentence for defrauding customers.
- If you talk to the woman on Main Street when you start the island, she will show you a newspaper with the news of the carnival on it. To the side of the paper, it says “Butter Contest, only 25 cents”. Later in the quest, when you discover the old newspapers telling the backstory of Bird Boy, the side banners says things like, “Apple Pie Eating Contest, only 15 cents”, or “Two Headed Pig, only 15 cents”. Obviously, the price went up between 1936 to 1956, referencing inflation.
- Betty Brownie from Reality TV Island can be seen in one of the Bird Boy newspapers (The Standard).
- The old newspapers also make references to The Hunchback of Notre Dame — one article’s author is Esmeralda Modo, after the story’s gypsy, Esmeralda, and the titular hunchback, Quasimodo. Another article mentions Bird Boy hiding away in a bell-tower, much like Quasimodo.
- Other names of staff reporters in the newspapers can be seen as references: Joe Merrick is the webmaster of a Pokémon fan site called Serebii.net, Rex Ralphitt may be a play on “Wreck-it Ralph,” Dean Hogarth borrows its names from two characters in “The Iron Giant,” Edward Scands seems like a shortform of “Edward Scissorhands,” and Frank Stein is a play on “Frankenstein.”
- The carnie trainee, Edgar, may be named after the poet Edgar Allan Poe, famously known for his poem, The Raven — again hinted by the infamous Ringmaster Raven.
- Dr. Price, the mad scientist behind the Haunted Lab, is a reference to the famous horror film actor Vincent Price, but not a real character on Poptropica (confirmed in this tweet).
- The young girl calls her brother “Bubby”, sort of like how Manny from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books calls his brother Greg “Bubby”. (Diary of a Wimpy Kid is by Jeff Kinney, Poptropica’s founder.)
- In the ending, you cannot see the Ferris wheel packed up with all the other trucks of carnival gear.
- The calendar in the apothecary building displays the year as 1956, but the car outside of Honest Gabe’s is a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air – a car manufactured a whole year later than the island is supposed to have taken place.
- In 2017, after a fan’s call-out, Poptropica modified the dialogue of a Black townie who had originally talked about being nicer to people so they didn’t try to “enslave us” into not trying to “take revenge.”
- The ending originally had Ringmaster Raven become a clucking display titled “The Incredible Chicken Man,” with townsfolk smug about his humiliation. Fans have since expressed concerns over this character’s treatment, which has led to the Pop Creators auditing the island.
- In 2022, when the island was re-released on Steam, the ending was slightly modified to have Raven become your character’s friend, only to be caged and carted off to Super Villain Island, presumably to be jailed there. This time, townsfolk were also sympathetic to Raven and regretted bullying him.
- Bonus quest (members only): The town is safe, but now a prominent citizen is missing. Has the monster carnival claimed another victim, or is something else behind his disappearance?
- Previously, members would get an additional Monster Carnival gear pack, which included the Ringmaster costume, Hypno-Powder item, and Raven Swarm power. The Ringmaster costume was only available until the end of Early Access.

please help me!!!! wont let me get the black light, ive tried logging in and out, tried talking to the guy first, tried walking over the box, tried wearing the fly mask…. NOTHING WORKS!!!!!! :(:(:(:(
In the guide, you should probably note that you need to talk to the duck carnie before fetching the hose from Honest Gabe’s. I didn’t realize that the first time I tried it.
I’m so glad you said that because i was having problems with that
Is it just my account or does your mouth get stuck as a frown?
Mine got stuck in a frown too 😦
same
OMG ME TOO!!
How do you play the duck game? What controls, I can’t figure it out. Help please!
Go into the lab and obtain the blacklight, then head over to the pool of ducks. Equip the blacklight, then play 😀
I have a similar problem, but when I press the screen, i will not fish.
never mind I just popped a balloon and it restarted
you have to pick the duck up with your hook
YAY! I finished the island in no time with this guide! Thanks!
The second lab thing wasn’t working. .. I didn’t see the purple stuff.

help my dart is taking forever to sharpen
Help! It’s not letting me scare the kids in the love tunnel! I put on the fly mask, but it’s not working.
Same here! I’ve been trying and trying but it won’t work. I’ve restarted the island three times and have yet to be able to scare the teens.

( near somewhere)
I have a problem. i’m trying to get the gold box from the apothecary and poptropica is not recognizing it as being there. i have logged in and out 2 times now. Help
slantedfish: Sounds like a glitch – contact Poptropica about the problem so they can help!
actually, you have to talk to the apothecary first
Same here and I have tried everything and I mean EVERYTHING!!!!!
When I am in the apothecary, it won’t let me put the items in the machine. It just says “you dont need those right now”
OK, whenever i try to knock out the monster near the Ferris wheel it wont let me, it just shoots me in the sky when i get close!!! help
Try jumping on one of the parts that doesn’t have the monster on it and then use the hammer.

wow thx sam ur really good at poptropica I must say
Thanks? HP finished 10th and I finished 61st xD
no I meant it sincerely
u can make the guide at least
could hp make the guide
He helped me make it xD
oh wow lol
but I will finish in like 200000th so don’t feel bad
My username for poptropica is austin60410
lol i just finished
i HATE this island.
I love it.
it’s kinda weird with the monsters but the dough monster looks like spongebobs cousin not scooby doos
me too
my user is imani531
Indeed!!!
yeah its scary!
It was kinda weird since the island seemed to take place in the 80s, but I liked the island.
yeah with the poodle skirts and everything
did u see the one on the girl
Yeah. Reminded me of the movie Grease.
poodle skirts were in the 50s……
Yea, poodle skirts were the 50’s… anyway I do agree that this island probably took place during the 60’s-ish time period
In the Apothecary, the Pharmacist has a Calendar that says 1956 or so…
I have also been told that poodle skirts are from the 60s. Man, I was WAY off…
Lol, good point d: My sister loves Grease.
I think it”s pretty cool to have it in the 50’s- it’s unique!
Mhmm, I think they should do one placed in the 1800’s and you have to help Shakespear or something d: I am pretty sure I just misspelled his name, but I’m too excited for MCI that I don’t care xD
Shakespeare was from earlier than that. He was born in 1564. Mystery Train is set in the early 1900’s though. Its not the same but its similar. 🙂
Oh, typo, I was watching a tv s show and they were talking about 1800’s so I must have typed that. It’s strange how often I do that. Thanks for the info though, you just gave me my history report theme.
I actually wrote an entire history report just with info from mystery train xD
Well you’re welcome, thats really cool!
I cant get the black light. Can someone help.
I had that issue. Sam tried helping me, but he had to reset the island :c
According to a newspaper on the island, the date was July 25, 1956.
Yeah, Nameless said the same thing too.
The 60’s,you mean? ‘Cause the 80’s were aout afros,neon,and disco balls
no 70s are like that 80s are legwarmers huge nerdy glasses keyboards
Just a joke in the paper I found: Local pig wins Beauty Prize! Next Section of paper: Local Beauty wins prize pig! Anyway…
In the Bird Boy papers the dates are July 30- August 6, 1936
Actually it is the year 1959
hey so um where is the guy with the scale? I cant find him
He’s above the Fried Dough Stand, and to the left of the Mirror Maze.
jump up over the duck stand and on the hill then go foward and youre there
it is the future where you are its still 2/21 here
It’s still that day for me too d:
same here
where is the dart? i go 2 the booth but its not there. Plz help!
Like it, but I think it could have been better. Like I thought it would be this really awesome island that was so big, it took five years to make. And what about Ringmaster Raven? Does he even show up once? I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong. Just,it doesn’t seem like the island you thought it would be in the promos and the video.Or the daily pops and posters. But my point is, it isn’t the best island. It’s more of the normal ones like Shrink Ray or Black Lot. Not one of the game changers like Super Villain or Mythology, though.
it could’ve been way better
it was disappointing but cool at the same time
the boss battle was dumb
ya i agree
Though this island had a lot of potential and was very intriguing, it was a great disappointment. This island was too easy and not in depth enough for my liking. Why couldn’t the player have actually fought the monsters instead of merely jumping over them? Very engaging… Ringmaster Raven’s past is revealed and then he’s defeated by smashing mirrors. It took them six years to fully create this island and that’s the boss battle they thought of? This island will not be joining the ranks of my absolute favorites. (Cryptids, Ghost Story, and Mystery Train) I am the eighty-sixth finisher of this island.
I absolutely LOVE it! I completed it four times already! XD
You see,that’s why you’re so disappointed. Because you’re assuming that it actually took six years to make. In reality,not really. They had tried making it before,but it didn’t happen. They only really started working on THIS version in about mid 2013, I estimate. So yeah,this was just an ordinary island. We were just disappointed due to the insanely high expectations we had.
I can’t get the cupof oil.When i use it by the barrel of oil,my character says “i’m not thirsty right now.” Same when i click on the person. Can someone help?
You have to talk to the Ferris Wheel guy before you get the oil.
go to the food stand lady and click on her
Yay, a new villain at last!
*ahem* Now that that’s out of my system, now I can actually review this island.
The music here is the best I’ve heard- maybe it’s a personal bias since I just like creepy dark music, but oh well… I like it a lot.
The visuals were amazing as per usual.
The story… Needs a few tweaks. First of all, I wish that the other monsters had a bigger role in this island (and I think the actual monster carnival only took up like the last half of the island). Secondly, the boss fight against Raven Ringmaster was kinda anticlimactic. You break mirrors. Hooray. This boss fight saddens me, because Raven had the potential to be among some of Poptropica’s greatest villainy (I think he was more successful than Dr. Hare at hypnotizing citizens!). He had a backstory that explains his start of darkness well.
However, I’ll have to note something about the difficulty. People say that this island is too easy… Which I find odd since I had seen past complaints about some islands being too hard. The Creators can’t make all of their islands Steamworks-difficult, otherwise it’d be too frustrating. I don’t really pay attention to the difficulty level, I’m more focused on the story. (And again about the easiness against Raven Ringmaster, not all of the boss fights should be Mythology Zeus-hard, but I’m still uneasy about the style of the boss “fight”.)
All in all, Monster Carnival Island was a decent island, Not as good as the classics, but not as bad as some other islands. Maybe it’s because I have a thing for the dark, but I’ll play this island again.
Favoritism Rating: A-
Quality Rating: B
I agree, I wish the monsters were harder and the boss too. But I thought the storyline overall was great! I think they did a great job on the island!
chu emo or somethin’?
Just because I like scary and dark things doesn’t mean I’m emo. .-. I just like the thrill and the uniquity of the creepy and dark.
Pewdiepie is a huge fan of horror movies and other creepy stuff, yet is he emo? But he isn’t.
I’m a little confuse on the part where you have to travel to the place they are being hypnotized at because I keep traveling right but I feel like I’m going in circles am I? Or am I going the right direction?
omg same! I kept going right for what felt like 30 minutes and I can’t get to the right place
Great guide Samwow and HPuterpop :p
@HPuterpop and Samwow5: Your guide is so awesome!
Thanks! HP and I worked hard on it!
Thank chu. ^-^ Sam wrote most of it, I guided him through it. 😛
You are so welcome.
I sure wish I had the membership. I read this guide over, it is great. I was just wondering if the author of this guide had any ideas on when the island comes out for non-members?
I found a glitch!
After you give the lever, hop on to the seat above you, and you disappear! :-O
me too
I agree, it was easier than I thought it would be. But it was really fun chatting while I played, and thanks to all the people who helped me out! 😀 I’m still, like, totally stoked that I finished eleventh. 0.o (fabgirl160)
Congratz, that’s AWESOME! I haven’t finished yet since my stupid game won’t unfreeze un the lab d:
The game glitched after I hit the ground to make the monster fall. It wouldn’t stop loading so I had to log out and log back in. When i did, I couldn’t get the black light! Help!

Its weird anyone have a solution for it? Mine keeps gliching… so on the last mirror that guy.. evil rings master is glitching on the last mirror I already tried logging out…
Help!!!
You mean the chicken dance glitch? 😛
Maybe you should try another browser? It’s a glitch on their part, and the only thing you can really do is wait for the glitch to be fixed. You can always contact them about the glitch:
http://www.poptropica.com/contact/contact-Poptropica.html
I contact them so much they are probably like “oh no its that person again”

@Emily – That comment prompting text is meant for you to answer, dear commenter! That being said, you can always check the front page of our blog to see what’s popping. 😉

Slanted Fish: Try contacting Poptropica about the glitch! They may be able to help.
How?
Slanted Fish: Click on the “Contact” link on Poptropica’s homepage.
that sounds HORRIBLE,Calm Sinker.
i will add you but do you still remember your account and password? then y dont u play in another computer or ur laptop or ipad? btw add me im emogirl191933
btw my other account is lulustevie191933 its new.
The newspaper says that it is August 6, 1936…
yay gonna have lots of fun trolling common rooms
When I get to the woods, instead of going in a new area, I just end up going in a circle and coming back where I started from. Is this some sort of glitch or am I doing something wrong?
In the woods at nighttime, they re-use the same scenery so it looks like you’re in the same area. However, if you keep following the trash trail (there’ll be a random piece of rubbish either on the ground or on the highest grassy lump), you’ll eventually end up where the carnies are being hypnotized into monsters. 😛
oh my gosh thank you so much! this wasnt stated in the guide and i could never get to the place! again, thanks! 🙂
Why do they use the same scenery? Its really frustrating when I follow the trail and I have no idea if I’m getting closer or not.
OMG, the island is totally glitched, i cant pick the black lights, i tried a different browser and nope… no result. i think it’s glitched because they made it from 2008 and released it in 2014 (how’s stupid is that!) i cant complete the island and here died all my hopes to finish 37 islands
To get the Black Lightbulb, you need to click on the box labeled “black lights” at the top of the shelf. If for some reason that’s not working, try contacting Poptropica.
Also, while the idea of Monster Carnival was being formed around 2008, it was ultimately called off because the Creators felt it wasn’t good enough. We don’t know how close the original Monster Carnival idea is to the current version, but it’s probably quite different to the new version we have today (which has even been programmed for the new SUI format) – meaning it wasn’t really worked on for six years; it was just a longtime mystery that was recently picked up again and re-worked so it could be released in 2014. 😛
Thank You I Cant Get The BlakLights Either Its Very Annoying
It dosen’t work,I can’t get the oil!
You have to talk to the Ferris Wheel guy before you get the oil.
I was alone when I played the monster part. I’m only 10 so I was pretty freaked out. xD
lol i am 10 to but i am not scared its just a game and its not real.
Hey I cant find the diner!
There’s a diner in the background of Main Street, but since it’s part of the background, you can’t enter it. If you’re trying to get the Cup of Oil, you’ll need to talk to the Ferris wheel guy first, then ask the fried dough lady to fill your Souvenir Cup with fry oil. 🙂
you seem to know lots about the game can you help me? i need to pick up the black light bulbs but it wont let me. plz help.!
I encountered a glitch.
I used the cup of oil on the Ferris Wheel, then the Ferris Wheel rotates until the couple gets to the bottom. When it does, the couple disappears. Because the couple disappears, it took forever so I won’t continue to complete the quest. 😦
Will you help me?
When the couple gets off the Ferris wheel, they’ll head to the Tunnel of Love. Talk to the guy working at the Tunnel of Love and he’ll explain his hands-off policy and ask you to scare the kids with a fly mask from the Haunted Lab. More info in the guide. 🙂
slanted i know what josh is trying to say because i have the same glitch she/he means is that when the couple got down they disapeared you do not see them walking and it keeps loading i do not know how to get rid of that i already contacted poptropica about it.
I wouldn’t be able to complete 90% of the islands with out your help! Thanks for making this blog!!! 😀
Thx helped a lot
UH I’m so tired of these stupid new islands with sound and all that. It’s just so glitchy and annoying I hate it… classic islands were the best
YEA!! Wish the creators would make a button where you could play classic or SUI
Yeah I agree. It is SO annoying.
I remember playing Beta Carottine when it first came out and I think my game crashed several times due to the new sound, etc. Also, they took away all TWENTY+ pages of my store items leaving me with Poptropolis Game stuff I don’t even want! :O
I know right! Thease new islands are broken, Atleast beta test an island before you realease it.
i am having a glich-i cant click the light bulbs box
i dont know if it’s just me or i cant find the hipno dude
Slanted Fish: Keep following the trash trail in the woods and you’ll eventually find him hypnotizing the carnies.
when i try it i have been following the trash trail forever!
( well at least since i got to that part but it never works! )
somebody help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too! 😦
@slanted fish I had a glitch were you have to go to the dark woods so I cant complete the island cause of that glitch
Slanted Fish: I’m not sure what you mean, but you can try contacting Poptropica or restarting the island.
Thanks so much for the guide helped me a lot! Your guys rock! 🙂
The demo was way too short….Can’t wait to play the whole thing 😉 .
Guys I have a glitch when your in the chair equip the hammer and press space bar you won’t be in the chair any more!

where is the blunted dart???????????????
Slanted Fish: When you try the balloon game, you’ll realize the darts are all blunt.
ADD MEH MY NAME IS emogirl191933
Omg i cant get out of these woods
how do you get the black light as i keep touching the box however it unable to give me the black light. HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slanted Fish: Clicking the box should give you the black lightbulb. If not, contact Poptropica about the glitch.
can i just say the music at the end when the carnival leaves town i just started to tear up. its a pretty happy ending.
Hey guys! I followed the directions bet when I at the Honest Gabe’s Auto Repair, the woman didn’t give me a hose! Please tell me what to do! Thanks!
its on the shelf u have 2 get it
I must be super weird!
When ever I saw the test your strength girl I screamed “Brave Tomato!” I know,I’m strange!
Hey PHB,
I am trying to complete this island, but it appears I have run Into a glitch that is REALLY annoying me!
I am currently at the part of the island where you must use the fry oil to fix the gears. However, upon fixing the gears, the couple vanishes from Ferris wheel. They don’t run of to the tunnel of love or anything, they just vanish in thin air. What’s worse is that I am now in a infinite loading screen. I cant move, the couple is gone, and the only thing to do is to refresh the page and login back in. However, the same thing keeps happening! So I cant finish the island 😦
I’m playing on a laptop so that may be causing it (the game glitches out sometimes) Is there anyway to prevent the glitch? Do I have to restart? I’m hoping not because I don’t want to start all over. If this keeps happening I will contact Poptropica and start over
Thanks,
Giant Leopard
The couple should run off to the Tunnel of Love once you oil the gears, so it sounds like you have a glitch here – perhaps you can try playing on a different web browser or computer, updating to the latest version of your web browser and Flash, and clearing your browser’s cache. If all else fails, you may have to contact Poptropica or restart the island.
Luckily, Playing Poptropica on Google Chrome seemed to do the trick. Thanks!
when i go to honest Gabe’s and click the worker there is no option to ask for a radiator hose and when i click on the hose my character just says i don’t need car parts
You should click on the radiator hose.
most.awesome. island. ever.
my best ride is the ferris wheel.
Um, to get the vial of osmium, don’t you need to talk to the pharmacist guy first? It didn’t work the first few times I tried, until I talked to him.
Slanted Fish: Thanks, that’s been added into the guide now. 🙂
I’ve been trying to get to the hypnotist guy for literally 20 minutes! Take anyone else this long?
Slanted Fish: It shouldn’t take that long – just follow the path indicated by where the trash is and you should get there after a few turns.
Thanks! I was going in the same direction, instead of following the trash’s path. Oops. 😦
oh ya! same here it took forever until i read this now i will try it
oh my goodness he actually guessed my actual weight!
I weigh much less than 115 lbs 🙂
bro is that even good or is it bad?
becus i got appsillotly no idea if it is realateed to the blog.
i can’t click the black light! when i went to collect the ticket, it just moved side to side and i couldnt click because of the spinning circle cursor but edgar said i got it but its not in my inventory… what should i do?!
pls help, i cant get the black light i keep trying to click the box but the mouse wont turn from the poiter arrow to the little hand so i cant get the light pls help!!!!!
After the guy guesses and gets no prize, I went back to main street and iI couldn’t go to the pharmacy! Why? Because the loading takes forever! Is this a glitch or something?
BTW, I tried to exit the pharmacy again and again and it’s still loading too long!

It’s not fair what they did to bird boy. All he wanted was a home and they said they hated him and threw him out of town because they thought he was they one who caused the fire but he didn’t. They threw him out because they thought he was a freak and yet they let dr. Dan stay because they knew him. If they had gotten to know the bird boy maybe things would have been different. I don’t blame him for what he did. They ALMOST got what they deserved. He just wanted a family and to be accepted. And I don’t think it was fair how he was hypnotized into being a chicken and yet Dr. Dan was accepted for who he was.
My thoughts exactly. 😉
Best island ever
hey oh
is anyone on here
i have a problem i did the formula and it flew off the screen while i was still doing it then it says i didnt put the ingredaints in and the ingredaints arent appearing in the screen in their container.
please help
im at the part of the last brown molecule do you think i should restart it all
i need to know if not ill do another island and forget this one
when i knocked the monster off of the ferris wheel he fell to the ground but I didn’t get any tickets or the secret message. what should I do?
i need help it wont let me pick up the light bulbs the black ones in the haunted house and i do not want to restart the island i have been trying to do it for a long time! someone help me plz!!!! :(:(:(:(:(
i am stuck on the part when i run through the woods with the debris and all that. i can not get past that part. what do i do now?
i would log out then log back in or just keep running if that does not work i watched a walkthrough and it really helped me.
i am stuck on the part where i am trying to get to the hypnotized carnies, but i can not get past the woods. what do i do now?
keep running or watch a video .
my fishing pole is not working in the duck game. its not going down, even tho i put on the black light
Same here 😦
i cant find the blunted dart????
Wow this site is now linked ‘FAV POPTROP BLOG’ friend me on poptropica im “Golden Wolf”
hey It won’t let me add you. Why is that?
i think its because you need to put your username not your poptropicans name so that others can add you. btw add me, im liznab
On the reactor thing it doesnt show anything and the shooter doesnt move. HELP MAY
I am having the same exact problem.
I just opened poptropica and did that part in internet explorer as opposed to my regular google chrome and it worked just fine. Hope it does for you as well.
Yeah that happened to me too. I just did the next bit where you get the hose and when I came back to it, it was there.
I figured it out if the reactor doesn’t work the first time, restart the island and immediately go to the shop. That is if you are doing the salt part.
My problem is that when I go to the section after the giant face, I go right but it takes me to the left side of the section and vice versa. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong?
I eventually found it. Nvmd!
This helped a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot find the blunt dart. Where is it?
Do the balloon game. I think that’s where I got it.
Hey. I can’t get past the wodded spot area thingy. The part after ruining the love scene thingyyy. 😦
As mentioned in the walkthrough, it may take some time to get to the “Monster Transformation” scene. Just keep following the items that are dropped on the ground, and you should find it soon. 🙂
how long is “soon”?
HELP! I can’t get the fry oil! 😦
Talk to the ferris wheel guy, then talk to the fried dough lady.
Is it just me or did the disturbing music with the monster transformation make this one a very creepy one along with Ghost Story?
Also, the flying puppet in the Haunted Lab is similar to the woman in Ghost Story saying : “Looking for something >:D”
did anyone else think Ringmaster Raven’s beak mask looked creepy? Everytime I see him i think of a creepy voice saying his name. HE SO CREEPY!
im stuck on the second floor with finding raven plz help
nvm
so far so good
How come it is taking me VERY long to get to the weird dude???
I’m having the same problem…
When it was dusk I got the dart and took it to honest gabes. When I got back to the carnival it was day and on town it is still dusk??!!
That happened to me too!
Also I got the osmium but can’t do anything with it!
Why’s it saying that its 4:39am?
Working now
Tried to do this island. Got up to where you sharpen the dart. Then when I returned to the carnival again, it was day time? This has happened twice now. Any ideas why?
Slanted Fish: It’s a glitch; try contacting Poptropica so they can help you, or restart the island. 😛
when i try to play the dart game, it wont let me play and it goes back to daytime instead of night time. the kids go back onto the hill and i have a sharpened arrow that i dont know what to do with.. anyone know what to do? i havent done this before. help!
When I got to the “put the oil to let the children down” part, I couldn’t see the kids and everything kind of froze! I logged out and logged back in but it didn’t work! Plz help!!!
I don’t know if anyone else had this problem, but when I have to run into the woods to find the hypnotizer person, i can’t get to that area. I’ll run and pass the same places like 30 times and I log in and out and nothing seems to help. how do I get it to work???
Okay just follow the food and lanterns and you will get their.
I am right at the end where the bird boy is at the mirrors I have done the mirror smashing for the 6 times but, the bird boy is just running into a box and I can’t click on him. Please help. Thanks
Hello Slanted Fish! For the Dumbledore costume on the costumes page, you could get halfmoon glasses from Dr. Dan. I think you should add that.
Slanted Fish: Good point, I’ll add that in – thanks! 😀
i have a glitch when the boss fight with all the mirrors after the 3rd round he pushes against the blue wall help i cannot finish plz help
