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.

I’m stuck at the part where I follow Edgar into the ringmaster’s tent and he tells me that there’s a formula. After talking to Edgar outside the tent, I’m automatically transported inside, but I don’t see him anywhere.
Thanks PHB for the guide really enjoyed it XD
It won’t let me pick up the backlights! This is my second time doing this island and I’ve never had this problem before. I’ve surprisingly had a lot of glitches tho. 😦
I am getting seriously impatient… I am trying to get to the ‘dark dude’ but the scenery has repeated at least 15 times! How long does it take??? Should I go back to town???
It happened to me, too. I’m sorry.
you have click above the sign if you want to go left.
I know this comment was written back in 2014 but make sure to follow the trash that’s left behind (ex. bouncy balls, broken lanterns, crips bags, etc.) The scenery does repeat but if you follow the trash you’ll eventually get to the place where all the carnies are.
Dang it.. I am in the part where the player leaves the woods after the carnies turn into monsters. I leave the woods and go to the giant poptropican head. I head left and after the adds the scene isn’t loading! It has been like an hour and it is still loading.. Help me PHB!!
Nvm, it got solved after I refreshed it a couple of times.. Btw thnx PHB for the Guide! =D
Wow turns out this island is pretty easy love it! ^.^
hey! so, im at the part where you have been kidnapped by edgar, raven dude gave me his talk about that hes gonna hypnotize me with the ray, he leaves, and i exclaim “what can i do to make him remember?!” and the guide says to use the fried dough-which is in my items- bu there isnt the backpack button at the top, there arnt any buttons in fact?
When I put the oil on the ride, it freezes and I’ve tried logging in and out a few times and it still freezes every single time. Is it a glitch?
No matter how many times i run through the woods i never find them getting hypnotized
Same! I can’t get there either!
This comment was written a while ago but if you follow the trash (ex. broken lanterns, crisp bags, bouncy balls, etc) you’ll get to the hypnotized carnies.
I can not no matter how many times i try get through the woods to the monster.
theres a glich that the lever is not there 😦
i have been going through the forest for about an hour and i still cant find the carnies
You need to follow the trash in the forest (ex. crisp bags, broken lanterns, bouncy balls, etc.)
thanks the walkthrough was very helpful I was stuck but then I saw this though it was a little creepy
When I hit the carnival ride yes,the monster did come down but then the ticket showed and then I had to wait for 5mins and it still was loading. I had to restart poptropica and then signed in and went to the haunted lab and it still won’t let me get a light bulb grrrrrrrrr.
Please help me !!!!!
That happened to me but i restarted , logged in and the monster was gone!
does anyone else not have the fried thing at the end? I am stuck and do not know what to do! someone please help!!
Now I don’t have AYTHING!!!!! PLEASE HELP! All I did was go to the home page to see if it would reset itself but instead it just took away my whole inventory except ad things. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
That’s impossible, it must be a glitch. The game can’t continue unless you have the fried dough.
and now I am stuck in the chair
I can’t find the blunted dart anywhere I tried going to a new scene and back, I tried exiting and coming back into the island but still can’t find it please help
Same here. Just click on all those 3 people and let them talk, the dart will come automatically
Those monsters scare the crap out of me so much I went “yep never doing that island again
Love your walkthroughs, as always…
If you still read these comments, I was doing this island and was under the ferris wheel trying to knock out the monster when my Internet stopped. When I logged in again, the monster was gone and there was no secret message and I can’t even get a black light. Any way to reverse this??
I can’t get to the guy transforming the carnies into animals halp!
Omg…. I’m so frustrated because I have been trying to get to the cult place for at least 20 minutes and I swear I clicked to go to the next page at least 100 times….. 😦
Help anyone?
There are two spots in the scene where you go to the next page, but you have to choose the one with the trash bit laying around. It’ll vary between the two spots.
I followed the rubbish, it eventually led me back to the starting space.
Me too!
i finished it 🙂
I can’t pick up a black light… why is that?
When I come to the part where we have to go to into the woods to the weird circus master my scenes just go on and on but I never reach their. I tried about a hundred times. What should I do? 😦
You have to follow where they leave the rubbish eg. If the rubbish is on the top right then you go there, or if it’s on the top left you go there. You cannot just go to one. HIP!
How do i break the mirror with my hammer?
wheres the guy with scales
It took me forever to pass the forest scene to get to the hipnoytizyed carnies.
When I got to the part where you go to the forest thing, I didn’t have a trash trail and I got nowhere. It took me to the exact same spot over and over again. The trail was the same, with the Town Sign. I’m stuck at this part and I do not understand where I went wrong.
Nevermind!!! It did completely scare the teenagers
i cant grab the orange box
Did you talk to Dr. Dan?
yep
u have to make the guessing guy to guess ur weight first THEN talk to mr.dan then click on the box!
(EDIT) Help i cant grab the orange box
anyone know whats wrong with this?
got it
it is taking me a really long time to get to the hypnotized carnies, someone please help!!
You follow the trail of the things the carnies drop on the ground.
I’m so angry. I’m stuck in the weight guessing part again. After I talked to the weight guessing guy and there was a problem with the weight guessing game, I went to the pharmacy and Dr. Dan keeps asking “Would you be needing anything else today?” and I keep saying “Not now, thank you.” Is this a glitch or WHAT?
Did you contact the creators? I think this is a glitch.
Yes I did
Oh-and he asks me if I need anything else today instead of saying “Back so soon?” so I can’t get the Vial of Osmium to fool the weight guesser.
This started happening to me too. My character knows he needs the Vial of Osmium, but unfortunately this happens anyways.
no matter how many times i go over i still cant find the darkly dressed guy
follow the trail of the things the carnies drop on the ground.
I can’t get the orange box from the apothecary. Help!
Did you talk to Dr. Dan?
I know you’re not asking me, but I have the same problem. I talked to the shop owner, but I still can’t get the orange box! HALP!!
Ehh, you can send an email to the Creators so they can fix that.
excuse me I’m having trouble scaring the couple out of the tunnel of love they just stand there staring at me while I’m wearing a mask feeling embarrassed.
omg me too!! It must be some kind of bug. I restarted it twice to see if it would go away, but it won’t. :(((
Something is definitely wrong! I went into the mirror maze and Ringmaster Raven was in there without his mask! All the mirrors were broken and the curtains were pulling back in a loop! This has never happened before when I played it! 😦
You may want to contact Poptropica support to let them know of the bug so they can fix it. Maybe also try playing on a different web browser; sometimes that helps. Hope the issue is resolved soon! 🙂
I can’t scare the teenagers.I can’t run up please help me.
Actually, the boothkeeper said that the Teddy Bears were only for display, not that they were sold out.
slantedfish: Thanks, I’ve amended the text. 😛
You’re welcome! I never complete a new island without the help blog. Keep up teh good word! 😀
The confirmed year is 1956 it’s on a calendar at the pharmacy.
Okay, so whenever i use the cup of oil, the kids come down and get off, the game still continues to load and wont let me move on. Help?
If there’s a glitch in the game, use Internet Explorer. That’s its one use.
You also may want to include the fact that the brain monster can actually help you.
Or maybe just what each monster does in general.
Is it just my acc or does your mouth get stuck as a frown???
That happens. To revert it to normal, go to home, find a picture from a previous island, and customize your mouth from there.
The balloon part is not working
Same problem here, Vincent. What do we do?
cool, but it wasn’t working on my computer. the monsters were cool though
I have a very rare and weird problem, I just started the island but I accidentally clicked the ‘back’ button and when i re-logged in, I have already completed the island and gotten the medal. Is it a good thing????
after the guy guessed my weight, i went to the pharmacy guy and i said nothing
I got to the part in the island were you have to hit the monster down and he is not there and the edger guy says that i need to go get the black light or whatever and i go there and the box is floating in the air i can’t get the black light and the ring master is gone I also don’t have the secret message ticket when it says i do I need help please
Im stuck at the part where you have to knock the guy out of the ferris wheel. I did that and when he falls the game just shows that circle loading symbol and is just stuck. I tried logging out but that just put me ahead without the ticket. What do I do??
i spent 30 minutes on the part where you are going right into the forest and nothing is happening, i’m still going so i can say if this is a joke its not funny and i may never play poptopica again.
click on the rubbish as you pass it
PLEASE HELP!!! im stuck in the chair where im supposed to give him bread. i already gave it to him a couple days ago, then i closed the game now when i log back in there is no bread and i literally cant do anything!!
can someone help? I’m at the part where you’re supposed to get the osmium from the yellow box in the pharmacy and it won’t let me click on the box??
talk to the guy behind the desk first
what happened to my eyes?! they’re all buggy and not the bored eyes i used to have!!! Waaaaaaaaah!!!!
How many times do you have to go right bofe you actually get to the tree stump with the carnies?
You’ll have to look for the trash the carnies drop in the ground and follow that trail.
that guy didn’t even guess my weight right.:S i weigh like 60 pounds and i’m 11 years old. i’m way to skinny!
It means your poptropican’s weight, not yours.
There is a super bad glitch,where when you try to run after ringmaster raven,so get glitched while you are jumping up to the mirror maze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ikr..im stuck there! ugh
I can’t break the second set of mirrors!
to get the dart you have to talk to edger and then when he is done you will automatically be given the dart.
cant get to where they become monstars HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
follow the debree
*debris*
i cannot get the oil and i talked to the ferris wheel person! WHAT DO I DO??
theres a glich on this island when you go to see what happend to the carnies the woods never end no matter how many times you restart the island
yes it happened to me. I can’t go over there.
Where is the blunted dart?
I’m having issues with a glitch in the apothecary. After failing the weight guessing game, I went back to the apothecary, tried to talk to the man and collect the orange box, but it would not work. The man just says “Would you be needing anything else today?” And I reply “Not now, thank you” and cannot click on the box.
I’ve contacted Poptropica but they just said to restart the island, which I did and the glitch just happened again. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how to move past it?
slantedfish: Sorry to hear about the glitch! Try playing on a different web browser and/or a different computer.
Never mind, all fixed. If you’re having the same problem just send in a Bug Report and they’ll help you!
Please help me!When I talk to the guy in the pharmacy,he does not let me pick the box!
I am trying to make Sodium Thiopental (after crawling through the vent) but it is taking forever! The last parts are taking forever. Is this just me?
Help Me, Yall! I am talking to Dr. Doofensmirtz, and-
Wait, that’s not him? oh. The Pharmacist guy what can fool the weight guesser, and he just says, ” Would you like anything else today?” and I say, ” Not right now.” not right now? NOT RIGHT NOW?! I need it now! I can’t complete this darn island! Hailp meh D:
I need to get the orange box 😦
Phineas and Ferb reference;)
I have that problem too!
Well, that was a year ago. All you need to do is to close the game and reopen it. If that doesn’t work, restart the island.
SAME!! HALP!!!!!
Ugh! Me too. it’s driving me crazy
Am I the only one who is only scared of the dummy Guy?
Me too! I am basically scared of dummies, puppets, clowns, and dolls
nope
I am a little scared of the guy from the tunnel of love when he turns into a monster (if thats what you meant) But out of everything in poptropica, I have to say the heart worm boss in the bonus quest of virus hunter is the scariest to me! Sorry if I was a little off topic!
The Dummy was bad, but to me, the clowns on the Fried Dough place were worse when they started moving.
Man I just completed the bonus quest a few weeks ago, and I find it so lame and unfair that you can’t keep the costume even with membership. 😦
Help! After the guy guesses my weight and I go to get the stuff to make you heavier, the store guy just says “Will you be needing anything else today?” and I say “no” and it won’t let me click on the box! 😦
SAME!!
Slanted Fish, I can’t get the orange box! Help?
I’m having trouble with a glitch. Whenever I try to sharpen my dart, the game loads forever. Reloading doesn’t help.
Nevermind. After reloading the third time, it worked.
EXCUSE ME! I ASKED POPTROPICA TO HELP ME WITH THE VIAL OF OSMIUM BUT I WAITED LIKE A WEEK AND I DIDN’T GET A REPLY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE PHARMACIST WON’T GIVE ME PERMISSION TO LOOK INTO THE YELLOW BOX TO GET THE VIAL OF OSMIUM. THE WEIGHT GUESSER GUESSED MY WEIGHT RIGHT AND I STILL CANNOT PROCEED ON TO GETTING THE VIAL OF OSMIUM. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP?
If you’re sure you’ve followed every step up to that point, as indicated in the guide, and you’re still not able to proceed, you may want to restart the island (by going to your map). Try playing on a different web browser and make sure your Flash is updated.
the apocrathy guy wont let me have the little box even though is has worked twice be 4 halp
The machine in the Apothecary won’t work for me. I have the formula and ingredients for the salt in the machine, but no molecules will show up. I’ve played the island before- its actually my favorite island, tied with Mythology- and i had no problems then.
Always, the guy at the pharmisist never says “Back so soon?” Im stuck!
I dont see a blunted dart!! wait.. the first parts of the guide i did my self… eh its boring anyway LOL
I have a problem. I’m at the part where you have to fix the blunted needle, but whenever I head to main street to do that, the screen keeps LOADING. How can I fix this? ._.
*spoilers
This is actually such an unfortunate story – what kind of statement are they trying to make? Make the poor Bird Man into a freak so he can live the rest of his days in silent anguish??Chemistry is great, but none of the problems were resolved, even in science morals and ethics are considered… one of the less fun islands for me
That’s a good point you make. However, despite his tragic past, the issue here is that the Ringmaster Raven of the present has become a villain (he hypnotizes people and wants to make them into his “monstrous pets”) – which is why he must be stopped. The method the story goes with is a bit morally dubious, as you mentioned, but I suppose it’s more interesting than the average “lock them up in prison” ending.
I can’t get to the dude on the tree stump. i know that they repeat the scenery, but i’ve tried several HUNDRED times and it never gets to the tree stump dude.
In the members only mini-game I can’t jump up the roller coaster to get to Dr. Dan.
I can’t click on the box. I reloaded 10 times! (seriously, I counted how many times I reloaded.) HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:( 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦
I think I put too many explamation marks.
now I reloaded 50 times.
I find something very intriguing: My poptropican thinks Fructose sounds dangerous but she will pick up hydrochloric acid (corrosive and pH1!!!!!!!!!!) with ease and just be like “oh that’s what I need yay I’ll just put it in here”. She really needs to go back to basic chem class.
I am the Quiet Eagle! I made an account lol
Okay, this is really confusing me and it may be a glitch but is your facial expression supposed to turn to a frown when you enter the raven dude’s place and stay like that? It’s a little frustrating having to change it back
Hey, ummmm about how many times do you need to run across the screen to find all the carnies?
I have no clue! I don’t have membership!
Also, how do you get membership?I tried it once, but my Visa card did not work! PLEASE HELP!
You should be able to use a Visa card as a method of buying membership (here’s the place to do that). Make sure you’ve entered your card details correctly, and if it’s not working, contact Poptropica support for help. Another method you can use is to get a gift card to the App Store and buy a membership through the Poptropica Worlds app. A Worlds membership will work on Poptropica Original as well.
Hi! fuzzypug123456789 again! How do you change my avatar? like my winking blue star in glasses? And QUIET EAGLE, Iv’e seen that image before…
Not sure what exactly you mean, but you can change up your avatar with the Costumizer tool in the menu.
Yeah, of course you have – I just got a cute dog pic off the internet and used that as my profile pic. I could get one of my own art or whatever but nah.
Seems like you were referring to your avatar here (beside your comment) — to change that, sign up for an account with WordPress or Gravatar. 😉
I’m stuck at the part with the carnies. Every time, I can’t reach the end of a scene because the “Go right” or “Go left” doesn’t appear. HELP!
My eyes changed from the bored eyes to the wide ones. Is there a way I can change this? When I go to costumizer, it still shows my regular eyes, but in the game they’re different. I’ve tried logging out and logging back in, but nothing changed.
Yes — try out the ASG (or iPop) on an account with the eyes you want!
I try to play Pop the Balloon, but the dart won’t shoot! What’s wrong?
Have you went back to honest Gabe’s shop and then sharpened the dart? The machine is over to the left as soon as you walk in.
Also, I’m stuck at the part where you keep on going right to see the carnies get hypnotized. I can’t find it! And I have passed a fry bucket and what not, I just can’t seem to do it. It’s like the game is in a constant loop.
So I am in the bonus quest. I click on the mushroom and get the extract. I click again or try to jump on it and I go nowhere. It can’t get on the roller coaster. Anyone know a way to fix this?
Trivia: This island is based on the Ray Bradbury story, “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” in which a mysterious traveling carnival terrorizes a small town in the 1950s. When the carnival turns scary, the carousel spins backwards, which is a central feature in Bradbury’s story.
It’s not quite the same plot, though both share a creepy carnival element.
I’ve been waiting for ten minutes after knocking the villian out of the ferris wheel. No luck. So I logged out and came back and there was no monster to be found and I didnt have the secret message. I talked to Edgar and he started talking about the black bulb! What do I do?
edit: I tried to click on the black lights on the shelf. It wouldn’t even work! Please help
It is supposed to take over 30 minutes to get to the hypnotized carnies??? Because Ive been doing this for 30 minutes and I STILL haven’t gotten there yet
It wouldn’t let me tell the repair lady that I needed a hose. And now I’m sad
HELP!!!!! I cant get the last three potions for the ring master ): it keeps saying i don’t need it!!!!
