Go to Mystery Train if you’re not already there. Then, walk over to the guy pushing hard on something. Can you believe it? It’s Thomas Edison! Talk to him. He wants you to help him with his ramp. So… do it! This is the order to make the ramp work (smallest to tallest, left to right):
And… Yay! For being so nice and helping him, you get a Train Ticket! All aboard!
So, get on the train, and you’ll get to talk to and meet lots of people, many of which are famous! However, be sure to speak to this guy. It’s George Ferris, inventor of the Ferris wheel.
Oh no! The wheel isn’t working! He’ll give you a Telegram message.
Now go left to meet more people. Be sure to talk to everyone! Enter Susan B. Anthony’s cabin, and she will give you a Women’s Suffrage Pamphlet.
Keep going left, and pick up the Pencil on the table in VIP Car 2.
Also, enter Mademoiselle Moreau’s cabin and she will give you a Le Monde newspaper.
Finally, go meet Mr. Edison. He got his machine ready, and wants to test it out! And then… It’s working! But disaster strikes. Because just as he leaves to get the reporter… The train curves, and goes into a tunnel. And momentarily, the light is gone! And when th light is back, the machine is stolen. Then Mr. Edison comes back…
And so… you’re on the case. Talk to the New York Times reporter. Apparently Twain has a secret compartment. Go over to Twain’s cabin, and when you talk to Mark Twain, he gets… quite suspicious when you mention the secret compartment.
So tap around the walls, to find the different sounding wall. It’s the one that’s third from the left on the second row, and when you click it, it’ll go “THUMP!”
It turns out it was just a manuscript of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn that Twain was working on. Oops. But then, suddenly, the train stops.
Once you get out, talk to the reporter. He says that he heard someone running outside of Edison’s door! He might have left a clue…
Go ask more people around. Again, talk to everyone – you can start from the right, all the way, and work your way to the back of the train. Susan B. Anthony says that Tesla has been locked in his cabin the whole time.
Gustave Eiffel said that he heard a cabin door open and close when the train went into the tunnel that could’ve been Tesla’s, and Erik Weisz doesn’t think disappearing is too difficult.
Well, remember what the NY Times reporter said about hearing someone outside Edison’s door? Sure enough, when you go check, you’ll have a new clue: the floor is covered with prune juice!
After discovering the prune juice, you can start the questioning all over again. Not much information is revealed, except Edison says the prune trail seemed to lead to the coal car. Le Monde Reporter (whom I call Frenchy) says a similar thing. Now go to the dining car further left.
When you talk to the Porter, he/she (the porter is supposed to look just like you) throws the order sheet away, saying that orders are confidential, and then he/she will walk away. So open up the Porter’s Notepad that gets left behind, and using the Pencil, check for an imprint.
Apparently, Tesla ordered the prune juice. But he won’t talk to you. So go take a look at his luggage.
There are coal smudges on his trunk, and when you lean down, you get attacked by a pair of scissors. If they really wanted to get rid of you, they would have attacked with something more, uh, powerful. But this is Poptropica!
Anyway, you get the Scissors, and now you start asking again.
The Coal Man says this:
But for now, skip asking everyone. Just go straight to the Porter. And the Porter confirms that, yes, the Coal Man did get something to drink.
Now go to the luggage cart, and Frenchy will be right there. Talk to her. She says the key might be in his cabin, the key to Tesla’s trunk. But you can’t get in, so she tells you to go dress up as the Porter. So, go to the Porter’s closet, get the Porter’s Outfit, and put it on. Now go to Tesla’s room.
Once inside, he says he wants a prune juice refill. So walk to his drawers, and pick up the prune juice. Refill, refill. Then he’s got to go to the bathroom. And you’ve got to find the key!
The location of the key varies. But first, you have to click everything else. The key will be in the place you click at the last moment, just before Tesla re-enters his room. And then, when you’ve got the Luggage Key and Tesla comes back, you can leave.
Go to his trunk, and use the key. The device is in there! Frenchy will call the guards, and Tesla gets dragged away… and you go tell Edison.
But.. oh no! Edison plays the device, and Tesla was on the other side of the train when this thievery happened! You’ve caught the wrong person! *GASP* You’ll get the Grainy Picture.
After Tesla had been arrested, Edison says that the device was rolling and it might’ve shown an image of the real thief. However, the only person that ended up there was Tesla, just chilling in a train window… on the other side of the train. Which means…
You have to go talk to Tesla. But you can’t go through the coal car because a guard is blocking the way. Instead, you have to go ON TOP of the train! But how? Ok, go to the luggage car, climb up the luggage and go up through the trapdoor.
Go up. Now you’re on the top of the train. Duck whenever the red on the right side of the screen is more up, which means a tunnel is about to pass by. And jump when the red is further down, which means a sack is about to get in your way. Make your way to the right until you see a hatch. That’s the coal car, which Tesla is in, all chained up.
Talk to him for a while. He’ll say that he had left behind something important in his cabin. And then he’ll ask for something to write with. Click use on the pencil, and he’ll draw a Sketch of Tesla’s Cabin like it was before he got captured.
Exit the coal room to the right. The guard will ask what you did, and you’ll lie saying that nothing’s up. Go to Tesla’s cabin and notice that the briefcase by Tesla’s bed is open. Click on Tesla’s sketch and once the screen opens up, click use. Click on the pencil and finally click on the briefcase to make a circle around it.
Go back to Tesla the way you did before. Talk to him, telling him that the briefcase is open and all. He’ll start to worry, because something important is inside. And he has no idea how the case was unlocked.
Um… Tesla… Poptropicans don’t really have necks.
Moving on… exit the coal car and go into Erik Weisz’s room in VIP Car 1. Ask about the briefcase, and he’ll start acting weird. You’ll get a clue about his odd behavior.
Go to the New York Times reporter (he’s near Mark Twain’s room in VIP Car 2) and ask about Erik Weisz’s odd behavior. He’ll show you a New York Times Article with a guy who looks familiar: Erik Weisz = Harry Houdini!
Go back into Houdini’s room and move to the right to the right to pick up the Lock Pick Bag. You’ll confront Weisz for being Houdini and he’ll escape through the hatch in his room.
Follow him! Which means… more top of the train traveling. Making sure to avoid the obstacles, go to the left until you see an opening on the red cart.
(this is where he fell through)
Once you land on that cart, you’ll automatically go through the cart into the junk room. You’ll hear a “blub blub” coming from inside those weird curtains. Use the scissors to reveal Houdini trapped in a water tank. But this is no trick: He can’t get out!
Now, you need to pick those locks, fast. Line up the things using the appropriate shaped pick and line up the line to where the color of the lock thing changes. The first one is easy because the locks are in order, but the others are all mixed up. Take your time to get it right, while still going quick.
Once you get Houdini out of there, you’ll accuse Houdini of being a thief. However, he’ll reveal that he’s trying to solve the mystery, just like you are.
Finally, he’ll say to talk with Tesla AGAIN and find out what he is hiding. He’ll disappear (literally) and you need to go on the roof. Again. Go all the way to the luggage room or Houdini’s room (either way it’s fine, but it’s quite a distance from here) and jump up to the hatch.
Go back to the coal room, via the train top, and talk to Tesla. He won’t talk until you free him. Use the lock picks again and he’ll tell you what was inside the briefcase: the transformer designed to power the ferris wheel. He’ll give you a Transformer Sketch. Go back to VIP Car 2 and talk to Mark Twain in his cabin. He’ll say this:
Ok, now go to the left until you reach the Pinkerton car. You have to be swift to avoid the traps. Jump up the boxes and jump over the first gap and fall down the second gap. Move quickly to the left and exit the Pinkerton car.
You’ll end up in the last boxcar where ANOTHER famous passenger is. And who is it?
Grover Cleveland… that guy who became president twice, right? Pick the second dialogue option, and Cleveland will help you piece the clues together. When he pauses, here’s the order in which to click the pictures: prune juice, coal marks, luggage key, briefcase, transformer.
Once the long conversation is over, go and get to that luggage room. Fortunately, the Pinkerton guard has moved the traps out of the way for you, so you can navigate easily. Keep going until you reach the luggage room. Use the key once again and click on the white cover on the case.
So… it’s either “Frenchy” or Gustav Eiffel. Talk to Eiffel, and he’ll say that he’s French, but there’s a lady’s handkerchief in there, so it’s… *dun dun dunnn* “Frenchy”. After the talk, you will arrive at the fair. Now to get off and stop her from destroying the transformer.
So… she’s only doing this for her country’s reputation? Oh wow. She will run off and you got to go after her. Once you reach the first area, you’ll see her cry to the guards and do a pity cry emote to get them to go after you. WHAT A DRAMA QUEEN!
The guards will chase after you now. Quickly go up to the podiums and wait for the first lion to be fed. Once it’s chewing, jump on its nose. Do the same with the rest of them. You’ll land on a platform. Quickly jump onto the bouncy window awnings and avoid the flames and sharp swords being thrown around. You’ll come across a sleeping Poptropican using a snake flute, and a snake going up and down. Jump up on the snake’s cap, then go left.
You’ll accidentally interrupt a dancing show, and you’ll experience one of many Poptropica firsts… these girls twirl!
Once you get on the ledge, you’ll see Frenchy at it again… she’ll pity-cry to the guards, and she’ll even throw in the laughing emote as well.
Now, get on the totem poles. Jump from totem pole to totem pole, trying not to fall to the ground. Once you get to the fourth one, the guards will shake one of the totem poles and knock them over, causing a domino effect. Go left – now!
(notice that the weather is starting to look iffy… are we at another Poptropican first here?)
You’ll see Frenchy jump up the Ferris wheel. Follow her by climbing ropes and jumping up platforms. And it’s raining. Great. Umbrella anyone? Anyone? No? Just get back on topic? We don’t care for these Poptropica firsts? Ok.
(Hey, watch the lightning! I’m having a confrontation here!)
Once you get up to platform #13, Frenchy will push a crate to push your platform down a notch.
Jump up the roof of the platform… and swing a rope thing across. 
Yet ANOTHER Poptropican first!
You’ll land on the other side. Climb up more ropes and jump on more ferris wheel cars. Once you reach the roof of a damaged cart, Frenchy will throw Tesla’s transformer.
Quickly jump on the rope and swing. You’ll grab the Transformer and land on the other side once again. Jump up some more carts and corner Frenchy. She’ll be startled by a lightning flash and fall… into a water tank?
Talk to George Ferris and give him the transformer. Finally, talk to Grover Cleveland and he’ll reward you with the Island Medallion and credits to spend in the Store.
Congratulations, you’ve completed Mystery Train Island! Case closed. 😀

Trivia
- Mystery Train Island is Poptropica’s 21st island. It was set to release at 4:21pm on October 7, 2011, in honor of two things: Poptropica’s 4th birthday and 21st island. The login page featured a train chugging across the screen upon launch.
- The John Bull locomotive (the eponymous train of this island adventure, which is named on the Train Ticket) is on its way to the Chicago World’s Fair (Columbian Exposition) of 1893, which is historically accurate.
- Common room: Reverie Lounge
- The famous Van Gogh painting Starry Night is seen in Eric Weisz’s cabin, hanging above his bed.
- The train’s freight car contains elements from many different islands, as explained in the Poptropica Creators’ Blog. For example, you can see masks from Nabooti and totems from Reality TV Island.
- Mark Twain in this island is working on his manuscript for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which in real life was first published 1884. However, the year of this island is 1893, so the book should have already been published.
- The coal smudges made by the French Le Monde reporter shows five fingers, although Poptropicans generally don’t have any fingers.
- Many of the characters you meet are famous historical figures, including Thomas Edison, Mark Twain, and Susan B. Anthony.
- Le Monde is a real French newspaper that still exists today.
- Mark Twain’s cabin in VIP Car 2 contains a framed picture with three portraits labeled Susy, Clara, and Jean – the names of his three daughters.
- Nikola Tesla’s cabin in VIP Car 1 contains a Tesla coil – his own invention.
- The thief’s luggage contains a book titled Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme by French playwright Molière.
- There was a preview game called D.C. Diner available since August 11, 2011. It’s similar to the popular game Diner Dash, and while it is no longer available, you can read about it here. Every time you served a VIP on D.C. Diner, a prize would be added to your items: Edison Light Bulb, Mark Twain Haircut, Magician’s Hat, Eiffel Tower Hat, Tesla Coil. The latter three prizes were only available to members.

I’m not sure what the guide says, but the key you find in his room is to his bag in the luggage car on the train.
And another thing about the key: I think the hiding place varies, because it was behind the shirt in Tesla’s closet for me.
yeah meh too.
same here
For me, it was under his pillow.
I found it behind one of his posters.
For the thing about the key, it does vary, but you really don’t have to look anywhere. Just wait until Telsa is right outside the door, then click any hiding place and that’s where the key will be.
you know what part I like in this guide the dun dun dunn part
ikr
mine was on top of his closet
I found it in the bird cage
it as on the lamp for me
I need help. where do you find Frenchy in the luggage cart????? how do u get other clues??? plz help me
Ditto

edison never allowed me to test
it was behind the bird picture to me
I found it behind the red book

Ditto
I was able to finish the island, so happy about that 🙂

what I want to know is how to get out of the train I want to get to my blimp but the guy with the P on his hat wont let me because he says im not aloud to see the (BAD GUY) so plz help tell me how to get out
Go on the roof to the room where the bad guy is and then go to the conductor.
Or you can play the shrink shot game
I am stuck on the part when you get on top of the train. This website doesn’t tell how to avoid the tunnels!!
If you get to one of those tunnels, duck down (make the your arrow point to the ground) and stay like that until the tunnel passes by.
i wonder if this is gonna be like clue
nope it wasn’t
I found it in the box of his underwear 😛
When I try the guy who I helped is always working on machine so what do I do?
i arranged the luggage to make the ramp but i cant continue??? /:)
Shastibaby, look at the picture which has the luggage in it. See the long, thin plank under it? Click on that.
when you mean everybody like everybody on the train I met all the people you said to meet and when I went to Thomas Edison cabin, he told me to meet the other people
same here
When I went to susan b anthony’s room, she wasn’t there ‘_’
same here
Can anyone help me please? I got stuck in the part where the train stops. As soon as it was stopping, I accidentally logged out! When I returned the new York times reporter won’t tell me the clue. And I couldn’t click the prune juice outside Edison’s cabin! Help!
Thanks to Jennelle (Super Thunder), Brave Tomato, and Elmo Pwns for contributing to the PHB’s Mystery Train Island Guide! We hope it has been helpful to you.
so i get the luggage key, but he’s already in the room, so i can’t open hte his luggage. what do i do?!
Are you trying to open the luggage key in Telsa’s room, or in the luggage cart? The one you are looking for is in the luggage car, not Telsa’s room.
Frenchy wasn’t in the luggage cart please help. how did u find the clue where Telsa got the drink??? /:|
Oh my gosh…your website is sooo helpful! It’s so easy to get through the islands with your guides! 🙂
And thanks to your friends for writing too. You people ROCK!!!
You are so right!!! I have beat soo many islands with this website!!
ME TOOO!
you need to fix the part where you forgot the e in get. you just wrote gt!
slantedfish: Thanks, it’s fixed now. 🙂
ya know, Frenchy should be put in the Erehwon Prison!
xD Yay us! *claps*
i beat 23 islands with PHB
Does anyone get this bug where you are stuck in a loop of stuff you have to do? I can’t get away from Tesla asking me if I have a pencil! HELP!!!!!!
I had that problem if I exit out of Poptropica right after I finished Mystery Train. It repeats the last scene with Frenchy and the transformer!
when I first tried to do mystery train, i was running around using the pencil in every car. In the coal car, when i used it (and this was almost at the very begining of the island) an invisible telsa gave me the thing where you have to notice that the breifcase is open! i restarted the island. wierd, huh.
After this mission, I want to change my look but it’s saved in ma costume closet and every time I click on the look, it says you can save up to 30 looks in your closet with membership how do I fix this i would really like to know.
You can only customize from your closet if you have membership. You could customize from the island photo album, but this will only feature some of your photos (all if you’re a member), and the costumes are whatever you were wearing at particular moments when you were playing the islands.
yes exit past the security guard and then go on top of the train to the coal car again
O_O Wow. I just noticed that right now. Yay us! ^)^
u r awesome Hijuyo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job with the guide guys! This will be super helpful when October 7th rolls around 😛
Uh-oh. Why isn’t one of the pictures showing up? 😐
I used Transperacy (dunno if spelled rfight) Tonic and I did it in the 2nd gap thing. It worked!
its spelled transparency
What I did to find the key was to click on EVERYTHING an right when he was about to enter, I clicked on the books. It probably varies from player to player like Max said, but for repeating a scene over and over, try clearing your cache, or save and press F5.
my fav part bout mt is that you hav 2 swing on those swinging thing. I did not want to leve mt
um…..does anybody know how to reset the island i havent found out yet
nevermind
u go 2 map and itz there.
nvrmind
just beat the island WOO!
Can someone plz tell me how to free Tesla?
Never mind i found out, I think.
I did it!!! I beat the island!!!!!!
And for people who reply to me,didn’t you read my comment below it!If you didn’t and reply,you guys are stupid!
No one replied to you…
Well, that was quick.
i luv pooptropica!!!
OOOOOOOO…… KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY……..

I knew that the guy was houdini…I have a book about him and houdini was his stage name and i learned that erich weizs was his given name…no bragging or nything.
I thought he only used that name while traveling!
Nah, he was born with it.
when you leave an island and then come back how do you continue your game from where you get the thing from “frenchy?”
nobody is listrnins to me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Get What?

2morrow i better see an answer hijuyo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
anybody aaaaaaaaaaaaaa here aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Stop spamming.
So cool! I just LOVE this island, didn’t want to get off!
that message is longer than my screen will alow
Oh god I love this island sooo much! i play it over and overrr
Uh, you can never get back on the train once you finish the island [unless, of course, you restart].
so i will still have my credits from the island then? cuz it said i’ll lose all of my progress…
Nevermind! Thanks for the help…sort of. 😀
I don’t know if anyone noticed this, and this won’t really affect the gameplay, just wanted to point this out.
On the train in the freight car…in front of the totem things there’s this bike-looking-thing. I thought it looked familiar. It was standing on the road on Time Tangled Island, Thomas Edison’s time period (I think it was)…
It is, and the rocket board from Astro Nights is in that car too.
ya it was from time tangled i think it is because in this island it is the same time as the time you see the bike in time tangled
i already finish this island!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeeehaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just finished. I got stuck on the part where you had to swing on the ropes. I kept jumping off too late!
Oh My Gosh I am so so happy that people make guides and stuff to help It makes it SO much easier!!!! thank you!!!!!
Guys- His name is TESLA, not Telsa. Would it be possible for you to fix that? 🙂
Thankyou alot 😉 Also, there are alot of comments about the key. It is in-fact anywhere. At the last moment, click somewhere and I promise that’s where it will be, Such a guess! 🙂 Mine was where she said, Because I clicked there. This was very detailed, So thankyou for that, And It was easy to follow 🙂 And they guys name IS Tesla, not Telsa 🙂 Thankyou for the walkthrough!!
Hey, when ur tryin to get past the guard, how do you avoid the can??
just step as close as you can on the edge and click right pass it
Thanks!! Couldn’t have done it without you guys!!! anyway as i was in front of “frenchy” i used my guitar, using space bar, then the lightning came ,.. SO AWESOME!!
Frenchy’s a girl. I’m a girl. Why can’t I do a pity cry? Plus, when she fell in the water tank she was like, “Help me I can’t swim!” and yet she was swimming…so I tried falling too and I just landed on the steps
SOOOOOOOOOOOO A GLITCH!!!!!!!!
No She Just Cries And Then They Feel Pity For Her
i love this adventure!
love it! ❤
=D
They gave me 50 credits….
Yeah they do that for all islands now, it sucks :I
I got 150
Erik Weisz was Houdini’s real name. He took his stage name from famous French magician Robert Houdin. Houdin was his childhood idol. Robert’s family ended up hating Houdini because he used his name, and Weisz/Houdini ended up writting books to expose Roberts secrets and to prove him to be a fake. Houdini was accutally a terrible magician, but a great escape artist.
Of course it was the le monde reporter she was in the luggage room
i finished!!!!! this is my favorite island……………..for now
The key isn’t in the last place you click; it’s in the place you click when Tesla is just about to re-enter his room. Just thought you’d want to know. 😀
NOOO!!
I think Poptropica’s server dies automatically at midnight like just now… it did the same thing yesterday too. 😦 I was nearly at the end of the island. Hope it autosaved close to where I was.
(I’m in a different time zone to you all, that’s why I’m talking about crashing now, not in four hours time.)
And it’s funny (not haha funny) Edison says that he and Tesla are rivals, but for a while they were actually partners in their work. Then Tesla got really ambitious and decided he didn’t like the way Edison ran things, so he left and started his own electricity… (not company, but you get the idea).
Thanks!Did anyone try using the lock piks when she was stuck in the water tank?If you did please tell me!
Peace+Love+Happiness+Hugs=ME!!(and rainbow ponies)
I knew it was here when she went to get the guards after I found the device in there I don’t remember how though!Not bragging guys!
Peace+Love+Happines+Hugs=ME!!(and rainbow ponies)
I have a question, How do you get off The Mystery Train Island without finishing it?
I don’t think you can 😦 I had to restart.
Actually you can. You go ALL the way to the right, past the coal guy, until you see the captain. Talk to him and he will ask you if you want to get off the train and start a new island
🙂 Lightbulb Campfire idea in Thomas Edison’s Cabin.
I think there’s a Tesla coil to the far left of the luggage car!
Go to the WC room. Open the doors and stand on the toilet. Close the doors, and you drop from the ceiling. weird.
It was in the top box on the wardrobe for me!
The transformer shows up in my inventory as a white box, and I can’t give it to Ferris!
What should I do????
(btw thanks for the guide!!)
no need, I found out how to get the transformer! 😀
*sigh* did you get it wrong? it says dining car but in poptropica it says coal car.
No… the only mention of a dining car in the guide is for the prune juice, and it makes sense that prune juice is in there, not the coal car. In this part, you find the order sheet that says Tesla ordered prune juice.
ok. Pinkerton agent isn’t letting me go to Nikola Tesla. what do i do?
You’ll need to get to Tesla by going on top of the train car. Go to the luggage car and climb up the luggage until you can click “Go Up.” Now you’ll have to duck when a tunnel passes and jump when a sack passes. Keep going right until you see a hatch, and enter it to find Tesla. It’s all written in the guide (under the part that says “dun dun dunn”) if you need more details. 🙂
Thank you very much! I was wondering for a long time. Now I can finally solve this island! Yay! Thank you!
cant do the totem pole thing.i’m stuck
I finish it add me
Username: JunMark
shanks for the help!!!!! i got 50 credits and i had 25 so i got 75 credits! i bought a ninja costume!!!!!
btw if u want to add me as a friend my username is lspfangirl
On the swinging rope part you can actually jump up to the platform were “Frenchy” is, if you click on her it does nothing but you can shrink her if you have the shrink ray it’s really funny.
If you open the bathroom doors and jump onto the toilet, when you close the doors STILL ON THE TOILET, you’ll fall from the roof. Magical toilet, anyone?
How many people do you talk to at the beginning? Thomas Edison keeps on telling me to talk to other passengers while I am waiting.
oh i missed somebody
Yeah, thats happening to me too, l don`t know how many passengers there are! I suppose we are missing something! Although l have been to every single cart l can get to but l can`t find anymore passengers. If you do get passed it please tell me where they all are 😦
mine is saying the same thing but ive talked to everyone…
OMG I MISSED A GUY THAT LOOKS LIKE ALBERT EINSTEIN!
if you go into the cabin reserved for mark twain go to the bed and you will see him
OMG white blanket WHERE IS THIS GUY(because i`m having the same problem) ALSO THE GUY IS JUST IN A PICTURE!!!!!!!😡😡😭😭
@hanthm44 – It sounds like the person White Blanket is referring to might be Mark Twain himself, who has a white bushy mustache. If you’re not sure who you’re missing, try watching the video walkthrough above to find every person you need to talk to.
so im trying to swing to the other side of the ropes and i do it and i climb up and i dont see any other ropes to climb to the very top! help!
this island is easy why do u need a guide
It might not be easy for everyone. Not everyone needs a guide, but for those who do, it’s good to have one available.
i need help ive talked to everyone but he wont let me test
Quit being such a downer. Just because one person is good at this doesn’t mean everyone is. I have beat 10+ islands. I’m pretty good at this game. And guess what? I used a guide 1/2 the time.
Edison said the prune juice led to the COAL car!
that was a long guide but the part where i had to find the key in telsa’s room i got the key just in time no really i did but i didn’t get to open the suitcase 😦 i already flunked realality tv show because the phone
call for the pizza thing i did it wrong
the number is 555 5555 7383 if you want to know
yay
Even yayer.
Thanks so much for making this! YOU ROCK AND EVERYTHING IS ACCURATE! YOUR VERY FUNNY TOO! thanks again! 🙂
Just a bit of a LOL:
Apparently, if you go to talk to the old millionaire in the top hat after you’ve gotten the medal, he’ll say this hilarious thing:
” Want to solve the mystery all over again? Open your Island Map and press Restart Island!”
WHICH MEANS, HE KNOWS THAT HE’S IN A GAME! :O

Check everything in the walkthrough to make sure you’ve done all the steps. To get past the Pinkerton security guard, you’ll need to go to the luggage car and climb up through the open trapdoor on the ceiling to go on top of the train.
I am at the luggage car and l found the “trapdoor” but it says: http://prntscr.com/2aa9h8
Please help me! I`m so stuck 😦
Slanted Fish: You’re probably missing a step in the questline. Read the whole guide in order and find out what you’re missing.
I found the key under the pillow too
This helped me so much thanks you guys who did this site!
I ❤ this site 🙂 it is so helpful and i hope that they will never stop being so very generous and giving us all this help. Long live Poptropica! Tell me if you agree!
im the one who saved the feriss wheel
every poptropican that completed the island saved the wheel
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked this island so much i finished it TWICE.
I was stuck in the trap car thing, you know, before you see Cleveland, but when i say this, i completed that part AND the whole island.
*GASP* I’m just starting this island, and I noticed that Erik Weisz has a trap door on his compartment’s ceiling!
Does anyone else remember when Poptropica only had six islands!?
😀 Oh the good old days
i am only 7 and i started poptropica this month so no!
I started when I was 6
not really
Mystery and Fun!
This is my absolute favorite island yet! I would have never made it through though without this guide 😛
which reporter? Frenchy or the ny times? the one to ask about the prune juice – thingy ( i already finished this island but i restarted it lol)
nevermind, i already figured that one^^^^^^^ but talk about what the device or nikola tesla?
the device
i have u as my friend on poptropica and i have completed more islands than u
