Welcome to Twin Palms Mall, where you’ll be put on night watch duty and be responsible for escaped animals, creeping cat burglars, and more crazy exciting scenarios! Are you ready for a mall cop adventure?
When you get to Night Watch Island, go all the way right and to the parking lot area. Keep going right, past the line, and talk to the guy with the NY hat. He says the mall needs a security guard and you should apply for the job. Now, go back left to the security office. When you get there, you’ll be asked if you’re here for the Security Guard job. You say, “I guess so,” and go inside.
When you get inside, she tells you that before you’re hired, she wants to know if you’re the guy she wants to give the night watchman job to. She’ll lead you to the next room.
I Spy… Twin Palms Mall
When you get inside the mall, she will test you on spotting the five differences in a picture: Dr. Hare shirt (folded into a square) becomes Medicine Man shirt, turquoise belt becomes orange belt, red shirt with yellow star (hanging on the rack) loses its star, jeans on the floor face a different direction, disco ball becomes a lightbulb hanging from the ceiling.
When you finish it, she’ll move on to some real life situations. She then gives you a Segway (scooter) to patrol the mall for trouble. Now, get on the scooter. You can click on all the people you see around the mall – they’re all training robots/dummies.
Learning how to be a Mall Cop
When you get on the scooter, go right and tell the boy and girl “No loitering!” Wait for them to leave, then go all the way to the right side of the mall. You will see a kid running on the escalator. Click on him, and he will… be shredded.
Get off the scooter and go up to the top floor. A thief will suddenly come and steal the granny’s purse. Now, get on your Segway and head left, chasing after the guy. You hit him with the Segway, but the robber turns out to be a training dummy too! The security office lady will give you your Security Guard Badge.
After you get your Security Guard’s Badge, go left and head inside the Security Office.
Security Office
When you get inside the Security Office, the screen says there’s a disturbance at MacGuffin’s!
In the top right corner of the room, there is a blueprint of the mall. Click on it, and you’ll notice MacGuffin’s is located in the top-right corner. Here’s the layout map of the entire Twin Palms Shopping Center, which you can click to enlarge (thanks Fuzzy-B!).
MacGuffin’s Gadget Store
Go back into the mall area and towards the right. Go up both escalators and then turn left and head into MacGuffin’s.
When you get inside, sit on the vibrating quake chair. After a couple of seconds, a Smart Phone will fall out. Pick it up.
The person who was calling was the last security guard, Gus. He says he lost his phone in the last shift. You ask if he wants it back, and he says no because you’re the new security guard and you will need it. He’ll give you a step-by-step walkthrough of how to use the phone. Here is how you use it:
-
Security Camera: It shows the mall’s camera feeds of all the stores. Using this, you can zoom in and view a bunch of different rooms by pressing the buttons. This is a very helpful.
- Contacts List: It lists all the people you call for your job.
- Notes: It’s where you need to write notes for something that happens in the mall.
- Planet Slug Game: It’s like Angry Birds in outer space and is just for your amusement.
- Power Button: Return the phone to your inventory.
After looking though all the features, leave MacGuffin’s.
Security Camera Shenanigans
You’ll get a call about a disturbance at Slugger’s (the store is right below MacGuffin’s). Accept the call, and you get to see the store from the surveillance camera. Look around the room, and focus on some boxes and helmets on the ground.
The manager tells you to call the owner of Slugger’s and tell him about the damage (he’s in the contacts list). He asks if there’s been a break-in, then he says to go check behind the statue in Slugger’s and see if someone stole the most valuable baseball card in the world. He says the combination is 6723.
Slugger’s Athletic Keepsakes
One you get inside Slugger’s, which is a floor below MacGuffin’s, go right and click on the baseball statue. There is a safe with a combination lock on it. Enter the code 6723.
When it opens, grab the Honus Wagner Baseball Card, which has not been stolen.
The owner calls and says you can put the card back and close up everything. After you do that, check the security cameras. View the camera feed for Giuseppe’s Toys and zoom in. You will notice a robot toy on the ground. That’s where we’re going next.
Giuseppe’s Toys
Giuseppe’s Toys is all the way on the left side of the mall on the third floor. Now leave Slugger’s and head into Giuseppe’s Toys.
Once you’re inside Giuseppe’s Toys, pick up a Toy Bird from the rack labeled Lil’ Peepers.
Walk right to the Toy Robot on the ground and pick that up as well.
Leave Giuseppe’s Toys, and when you walk outside your phone will ring, telling you there has been a disturbance at Sizzle Tanning Salon. Look around with the cameras and you will notice a tanning bed is still on.
Sizzle Tanning Salon
The Sizzle Tanning Salon is located on the right side on the bottom level.
Once you get inside, go to the far left tanning bed (the Sunomatic 3000)and click on it. When you open it, there’s an old woman inside – and her skin’s orange! Time to go, lady!
Once you leave the Tanning Salon, your phone rings and tells you there has been a disturbance at the Good Deals Electronics Shop. Look at the camera, and you’ll see nothing wrong until the signal is lost! The other security guard says there’s someone in the mall! He wants you to go check it out. Good Deals Electronics Shop is on the top floor.
Good Deals Electronics Shop
Once you get inside, go to the TV screens, and you will see a robber walking away with it! Then suddenly the other security guard calls and says he swears he saw someone there but now he’s gone!
Crawl Mart
When you leave the Good Deals Electronics Shop, your phone will ring and tell you there has been a disturbance at Crawl Mart. You look around with the camera and notice the snake is missing! You have to call the owner immediately. The owner says he might be hiding behind his favorite rock. Crawl Mart is on the left side on the bottom level.
Once you get inside, go all the way to the right where the snake is – but he isn’t there! Then the owner calls and asks if he’s there, and you tell him no. He says to find one of his favorite snacks so he will come. Now you can leave the pet store.
Chasing Eddie the Coral Snake
When you step outside, the snake is right there. Chase after the snake, following him all the way to the right side of the mall on the top floor. Go inside MacGuffin’s store.
MacGuffin’s, part 2
Once you get inside, go to the middle of the store, where there’s a shaking port-a-potty. Click on the port-a-potty, and all of a sudden the snake shoots out like a bullet!
Run outside and follow it! Once outside, go down to the bottom level. You will see the snake inside the Tanning Salon!
Sizzle Tanning Salon, part 2
Once you get inside, go to the first tanning booth. The snake will be inside, but he escapes again!
Leave the Sizzle Tanning Salon and follow him. When you get outside, he’s right there! Keep up with the pace of the chase!
Chinese Food Stand
This time you will have to chase him to the left and you’ll find him at the Chinese food booth in the middle (mall atrium). (By the way, the characters on the sign say “shí wù” in Mandarin Chinese, which just means food.)
Use that Toy Bird you got earlier from Giuseppe’s Toys to lure him out of the food stand! He’ll come out and eat it, then runs away again.
Suddenly, the Crawl Mart pet store owner calls, saying the snake is probably now looking for a place to sleep and that he’s going to get him tomorrow. Your phone rings again, and this time it’s from the Carnival Costumes store. When you check the camera, the signal will be lost.
Now, leave the mall atrium, and go to the right area. When you reach the right area, go to the top floor, and enter Carnival Costumes.
Carnival Costumes
Once you get inside, go all the way left. The burglar is there! He jumps out and runs over you, knocking you down!
Catching the Crook
Gus (the other security guard) calls you to say that maybe the burglar is going to rob MacGuffin’s because there is a new gadget called the Quickcharger that hasn’t been released to the public yet. He tells you to go to the store and wait until the robber comes. Leave the Carnival Costumes store and run left, over to MacGuffin’s, and enter.
MacGuffin’s, part 3
Once you are inside, hide in a corner and wait until the lights go out. The robber will run out of the store and drop a Back Room Key, which you should pick up.
Exit the store and head right, where you’ll find the Good Deal Electronics Shop.
Good Deals Electronics Shop, part 2
Once you get inside the Good Deals Electronics Shop, use the Robot Toy you found earlier to keep the lights on. Go all the way to the left until you reach the Employees Only sign. Use the key and enter it.
Back Room
When you get in the room, go all the way right. Take the piece of paper next to the TV.
It’s an application form for a new store! On the application, it says the person who applied for it was Preston Wilhelm, the current owner of PrintFax Printshop, which is also in Twin Palms Mall.
Now the other guard calls you and he wants you to go look for a clue at PrintFax. Leave and go to the other side of the mall. When you reach the top floor, the robber will fly out of nowhere and hit you with the security cart he’s riding!
The other guard calls you again and says to go get the Segway in the mall manager’s office. He can’t remember the password to the closet holding the Segway, so he sends you a list of possible passwords to the Notes app.
Mall Manager’s Office
Head on over to the Mall Manager’s Office. It’s located in the mall atrium (middle area), top floor, right side. When you get inside, go to the middle of the room. There’s a keypad and door. Click on the keypad.
You can test all the codes, but the correct one is FROST.
When the code is granted, the door will open. The Segway is right outside the door now, but before you start, you need to go back to MacGuffin’s and get the Quickcharger.
When you get back from MacGuffin’s, use the Quickcharger to charge the Segway.
Now let’s segue to the part with the Segway
When you get outside, wait at the right escalator until the robber rides up it. Then, ride the Segway to the left and hit the golf cart the robber is riding. The robber will fly out, but it turns out the robber was a decoy robot!
Suddenly, the snake comes out and hijacks the Segway!
And now there’s a disturbance over at PrintFax! The robber is doing something with the printer! PrintFax is located on the far left room, top-level, left corner.
PrintFax
When you get inside PrintFax, click on the printer. Now, click on the menu button, then click Reprint Last Scan, then click Print, and you will see it’s a scan of the baseball card!
Gus (the other guard) calls, wondering how much the card is worth and where the original is. You need to go back to Slugger’s and check and see if the original was stolen. Slugger’s is located on the far right side of the mall, second floor, left corner.
Slugger’s, part 2
When you get inside, move the statue, and you will notice the safe and card are missing! It looks like they fell to the store below.
You need a blowtorch to break the lock on the building below. The blowtorch is behind the Employee of the Month Picture in the Manager’s office.
Mall Manager’s Office, part 2
When you get inside, click on the Employee of the Month Picture, which will open to reveal a Blowtorch. Take it.
Run right to the Coming Soon store. Use the blowtorch to cut through the lock on the door.
Coming Soon Store
When you get inside, walk right, and you will find the burglar trying to switch the cards.
Chase him into the air ducts and use the blowtorch to cut through any of the metal bars blocking your way.
After you blowtorch those two doors, hop on the ladder onto the platform above, then jump right, over a metal fan to a metal bar. Hop down and run right. Another metal bar is there, and you need to use the blowtorch on it. Hop up the ladders until you reach the robber.
After confronting the robber, he will run off, and you need to use the blowtorch to cut through the metal bars above your head. Use the blowtorch on the second metal door from the right and the one on the far left.
Follow the tunnel again and drop down onto the right side, next to the burglar. After the burglar knocks you off the platform, go back up the right side where the two ladders are located.
Then go up the first ladder and use the blowtorch on the metal bar to your left side and climb through the tunnel until you get to the power box which you need to burn up to cut off the power.
As soon as you cut off the power, the thief runs and hides again. After climbing back down you need to go back through the tunnels just like you did before. Now the robber will be on a floating surface, so use the fan to float up and then use the blowtorch to cut down the bars on the left side.
Hop down and blowtorch the next power box, marked A/C.
Blowtorch the left metal door, run left to the next metal door, and blowtorch it. Climb up two ladders and blowtorch the last door to the right.
Finally when you get to the top, the burglar will fall down and drop the baseball card.
He pushes you out of a window, but you both will fall into the fountain and the police will be there waiting to arrest him. The robber is just about to run away again when the snake comes out of nowhere with the Segway and hits the bad guy, which of course is the PrintFax owner. The police will apprehend him and award you the Island Medallion and credits to spend in the Store!
Congratulations, you’ve survived a night at the mall and completed Night Watch Island!
Bonus Quest (members only)
For the members-only bonus quest, a robot has stolen a rare 1960s baseball card set from Slugger’s. They want you to find all 9 cards scattered all over the mall. Here’s where they’re located:
Mall Left Area
- Jolly Gifts – Click on the second can next to the cash register and the card will pop out.
- Crawl Mart – The card is inside the piranha tank.
- ITN (In the Now) – It’s in the large speaker next to the mannequins.
- No Pain, No Gain Fitness – Pick up a baseball bat then turn on the pink ball machine by clicking on it. Run back over to the plate and stand in front of it. Press the space bar, and you will hit the baseball, which knocks the card down from the shelf. (Make sure you’re not wearing anything that has a special action when you press the space bar, or it may override the batting action you want.)
Mall Atrium (Middle)
- On Saturn’s ring (technically, rings).
- Space Time Pizza – It’s in the dough.
Mall Right Area
- Slumbertown Mattresses – Jump on the purple mattress right above the door (which is in the right area, 2nd floor, far right). Pick up the card that falls out from it.
- Sizzle Tanning Salon – First tanning bed, click on the temperature meter until the setting is pointed to yellow.
Outside the Mall
- Exit through the security office door to go back to Main Street. Jump onto the window ledges on the mall. Once you reach the top, you will see the card on top of the glass dome roof.
Once you finish getting all the cards, go back to Slugger’s and give the guy his cards back. He thanks you and gives you this awesome costume prize – an Old-Time Baseball Uniform! Well done!

Trivia
- Night Watch Island is Poptropica’s 33rd island. It was released to members on February 21, 2013 with a demo for non-members and opened to all on March 14, 2013. The login screen for its release featured characters from the island, such as the burglar dashing quickly and mall cop on a segway trailing behind.
- There are a number of references to the Back to the Future film series: the parking lot contains the DeLorean car, known for being a time machine in the movies; the red jeep parked beside it, which is what Marty McFly drives when he’s not time-traveling; the time saying 9:02pm; the Sports Almanac 1950–00 in Slugger’s; and the name Twin Palms Mall, referring to Twin Pines Mall, where Marty meets Doc Brown in the first film.
- Slugger’s Athletic Keepsakes has team pennants for Dos Cactos (Wild West), River City Rodents (Shrink Ray), Poptropica Paddlefish (the team Joe Puddy supports in Zomberry – you can see the banner in his apartment), and Hemlock Haunts (Ghost Story).
- At Slugger’s, you can see Wilson the volleyball, who is also seen on Shark Tooth Island’s“Castaway Island” as a reference to the movie Cast Away.
- Also at Slugger’s, if you click on the baseball card display, you can play a memory game just for fun. As long as you don’t flip over the “game” and “over” cards in a pair, you win!
- Common room: Bananabee’s (a parody of the Applebee’s restaurant chain) – a November 2012 Daily Pop sneak peek shows that the name was originally going to be “Chrisabee’s”
- Giuseppe’s Toys is a reference to Mister Geppetto, the fictional elderly character who created Pinocchio. “Geppetto” is a nickname for Giuseppe.
- The game on the Smart Phone, Planet Slug, is similar to Angry Birds (in outer space).
- The retired security guard’s name, Gus, may be a reference to a security guard from the film Night at the Museum who also had the same name.
- The criminal’s name, Preston Wilhelm, may be a reference to the Wilhelm scream.
- Preston Wilhelm drives a Dorf Bean 2, a reference to the Dorf Bean car first seen on Zomberry Island.
- PrintFax is a reference to FedEx, a delivery and photocopying service.
- At PrintFax, there’s a sign that says “Choose your favorite font: Papyrus, Comic Sans, Jokerman,” all written in their respective typefaces. These fonts are reputably known for their unprofessional (and some might say ugly) looks.
- The mall cop scooter you ride on is a Segway.
- On the front window of the No Pain No Gain Fitness store, there’s an ad for Sports Nectar, which is sold on Cryptids Island as Poptropica’s favorite sports drink.
- When the burglar is finally unmasked at the end of the island, he cries “I would have gotten away with it if not for this meddling security guard!” This is a reference to the villains’ catchphrase in Scooby-Doo.
- The employee of the month depicted in the mall manager’s office is the training robot kid who was destroyed when you told him off for running up the escalator during your mall cop training.
- The Carnival Costumes store references other Poptropica islands: Bobo the Clown poster (Counterfeit Island), Japanese geisha (Red Dragon), cardboard box robot (Game Show), elf (Twisted Thicket), police officer (Super Power), Medicine-Man-like mask (Shark Tooth), and rich guy’s money hat (SOS).
- The shirts folded into squares in the spot-the-difference game (In The Now shop) reference other Poptropica shirts such as the flaming skull shirt of the Biker Boy in the Store, musical note shirt, and black shirt with skull. It also references characters from other islands such as Dr. Hare (one of the differences: changes to Medicine Man), Black Widow, and Balloon Boy.
- A MacGuffin is a plot device as a form of some motivation for a character to be willing to sacrifice almost anything to pursue. There is a long line of fans camped outside the mall eagerly waiting for the new MacGuffin’s store product to be released, and it looks like they will do anything for it.
- A slugger (as in Slugger’s Athletic Keepsakes) is a baseball term for someone who consistently hits for power, especially for home runs.
- Crawl Mart rhymes with Walmart.
- The logo design and name of Good Deals (Electronics Shop) is a spin off of Best Buy.
- The mall atrium contains a Berry Delicious Smoothie Shop, first seen in Zomberry Island. This one comes with a new flavor – oranges.
- The characters on the Chinese Food booth sign say “食物 (shí wù)” in Mandarin Chinese, which just means food (as opposed to Chinese food).
- As you ride the elevator, elevator music will play – another rare case of sound in Poptropica.
- The prized baseball card that the burglar wanted was of Honus Wagner of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- In the Mall Atrium fountain, you can collect coins which will come out of the water every once in a while. You can use these coins for the rides next to the elevator on the left.
- In MacGuffin’s, when you click on the chocolate toothpaste, your character talks about his/her mom, revealing that your character has a mom!
- In Good Deals (Electronics Shop) your character can say “What good is a tablet if it can’t run Flash?”, probably referencing the iPad and its inability to run Flash.
- “Eau de Toilette,” the name of the perfume stand by Giuseppe’s Toys, means “toilet water” in French, but also refers to a lightly scented cologne. Here, you can create your own custom scent, resulting in a colored mist trail following your character!
- At the Hat-o-matic booth, you can create your own custom hat which can be worn by your character! Options include styles (fedora, top hat, baseball cap), color way (POP or tribe), and logo (yes or no).
- The lady in the tanning bed is a reference to “Tan Mom,” a lady who had made the news at the time for bringing her 5-year-old to a tanning salon.
- Bonus quest for members only: A training robot has gone haywire and scattered valuable collectibles around the mall. You’ll have to explore every nook and cranny of the building in order to bring them all back! The prize is an Old-Time Baseball Uniform.
- Members would previously get an additional Night Watch Island gear pack, which included the Cat Burglar costume, Burnt Orange Tan power, and Whoopzie Cushion (a parody of the Whoopee Cushion). The Cat Burglar costume was only available during Early Access.
🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺 
Thanks to Samwow5 for writing the walkthrough with pictures for Night Watch Island and Skyboy303 and Fuzzy-B for their help in the guide as well. The PHB hopes you find it helpful. 😀

I it took me three days to finsh this island
the robot isn’t coming, and i don’t want to restart the entire island 😦
Erm, I can’t finish it. In the beginning where the security office is supposed to ask iif I’m there for the new job they need to say
Hi, I had a problem where I was riding the scooter and I tried to go right but accidentally pressed hop off and went into the next screen but I couldn’t see my scooter so I searched the entire mall and couldn’t find it. What happened? Is it a glitch? HELP ME!!
Fishy here’s my NWI guide! http://samspoptropicacheatblog.wordpress.com/island-walkthroughs/night-watch-island/
SERIOSLY,I HAD TO WAIT SO LONG FOR THE DECOY ROBOT(who wears the mask burglar wore) IT TOOK SO LONG
same thing happened to me white tiger
white tiger and bklank just go into a different part in the mall and the decoy came! My username is Ratboy1007 B-)
So, do u want to use my guide Fishy, I made it pretty much for u and the PHB.
Slanted Fish: Thank you! I’ll be editing the guide later. 🙂
If you ask me,they could put the bonus quest here.
Thanks for using my guide, I like Skyboy’s but it’s kinda hard to understand.
Hey Slam
LOL, you said Slam instead of Sam. 😆
cool☺
You guys rock
dude, how do you get the ropes and the black stuff covering your poptropica characters mouth?
Thanks Fishy I appreciate it so much!
Isn’t that a bit too much of a one sided conversation?
Um, can u stop being rude, please. Thanks!
Um, I wasn’t being rude, just asking if it was a bit of a one sided conversation. But if it seemed rude, then sorry. I didn’t mean for that to be thought of in a negative tone.
the robber is not coming up the right esc
kool i love using the blog and barely ever get to see the maker
who is the goddess in the food court?
Lol I stink at catching the decoy and my poptropican keeps going “Maybe I can catch him if I sneak up on him when he comes down” and he doesn’t come down he keeps coming up! I fell off my chair laughing it’s crazy!!!
the phone is not ringing for the snake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tamara, the goddess in the food court is probably Aphrodite? I don’t know.
the phone will not ring unless you change the area that you are in. even if that does not work, i think that you glitched the game.
We are a fan of Slanted Fish. ”We” is a three friends group.
Hi i wanted to know what do you do if the robber/robot decoy doesnt come within 10 minutes
leave that scene and then come back
it was fun:D
i found a cool little glitch in night watch island. in the middle area of the mall where the fountain is ….. go up to where the turtle is and go under to where the water is dropping out of the turtles neck. Then jump on that area. and it will give you a coin. if it doesn’t work the first time keep trying and eventually a coin will fall out. its small but you’ll see when it falls out. when you see your poptropican holding the coin , go to where the mini-rides are at and it will let you ride them. its not a disappointing ride , but just wanted to let you know this little glitch.
Slanted Fish: That’s intentional, not a glitch, but it’s cool nonetheless. 😉
sorry i meant it is kinda a disappointing ride
another thing. you can do this as much as you like. there is no limit. so have fun on the rides. lol.
it was really funny bc when the robber and I fell out the air vent, I caught a coin in the process XD
this is cool cx
it took just 3 hrs for me 2 finish this island
who was the guy with the three eyes??? I really want to get it
UGH I’M WAITING SO LONG FOR THE TRAINING ROBOT TO COME UP THE ESCALATOR AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
I need help! You know the part when you need the scooter to knock the fake robot guy, right? So I may have fell down the escalator and I can’t get back up, so now I can’t catch the robot. I don’t wanna restart the island either. ;-; Please help! I read the guide too, btw.
woof
Hello! I know this was made quite a while ago and you may not know, but what is the snakes favorite food?
The snake will eat up the Toy Bird. More details in the “Chinese food stand” section of the guide. 😉
Um…could you edit it a bit?I like it better paragraph style,not “step-by-step” style.
Night Watch Island was pretty interesting in my opinion. Did you peeps notice that the criminal’s name is Preston Wilhelm? Reminds me of a certain Wilhelm scream…
Also, Eddie (possible reference to Eddie Murphy, who played the leading role in Beverly Hills Cop) the snake was so cute! But not as cute as Sprocket or the Twisted Thicket dryads…
I agree with the Eddie part. :3
NICE
Me 2
Theres alot more cool stuff about this island…
-The common room on this island, Bananabees, is a reference to the real-life restaurant, Applebees.
-The car in the parking lot on Night Watch Island is, in fact, a DeLorean, a reference to the sports car time-machine from the Back to the Future movies.
-The Twin Palms Mall is another reference. In the first Back to the Future movie, Marty McFly meets Doc Brown at the Twin Pines Mall before zooming back to 1955 in the DeLorean.
-The time on the Twin Palms Mall sign, saying 9:02 pm, is yet another reference to Back to the Future.
-The final reference to Back to the Future is the red jeep in the parking lot, which is what Marty McFly drives when he’s not jumping through time.
and alot more… I got all this from:
http://poptropica.wikia.com/wiki/Night_Watch_Island
There’s even more on the PHB’s own Night Watch Island page! For example, a MacGuffin is a plot device about a character willing to sacrifice anything to pursue, which is used in the case of the long line of people waiting for MacGuffin’s store to open. 🙂
Wow
there’s also in slugger’s references:
dos cactos, a reference to wild west island
hemlock haunts, reference to ghost story island
river city rodents, reference to shrink ray island
poptropica paddlefish, a reference to zomberry island
Slanted Fish: This and more is mentioned on our Night Watch Trivia page. 🙂
wow they put a lot of that stuff
Um…there’s a glitch for me…I got the key for the back door,but Gus,the old security guard isn’t calling me!Do I need to be in a specific place?If so,where? 😦
Oh,never mind,I just skipped a part. 😳
I think you can try walking to the right page or left or 1st floor etc.
Plus, there’s Wilson the volleyball in Slugger’s (I forgot where he’s from)
Aww…it was SO adorable when Eddie leaped on the Segway and thought,”FREEDOM!” 😆
omg yeah! ❤
It was more funny for me…
Omgosh yes!!! XD That was adorable!
Umm…actually,Eddie steals the segway,not the golf cart.
Who implied that he took the golf cart?
Skyboy303 said that,in his guide.
Oh. I didn’t really read his guide cause I completed it the day it came out, without a guide…
Thank you PHB for the guide!I finished this the day it came out! 😀
Also,could you give a bonus quest walkthrough too?
Do you know that if you complete the bonus quest,you get an old time baseball uniform!Oh Goody!All that work didn’t go to waste!YAY! 😀
on step 45, no crazy golf cart dude shows up after i go down the escalator!!!
You have to go to the escelator on the left.
oh thanks!
wait….nothings happening, no matter what escalator i go to!
Wait at the right escalator for him to go up, then go to the left and wait a minute, and then he will come down the left escalator.
I Won The Island…. And They SHUT DOWN MY PHONE!!!!!!!!! 0-0
i’ve been waiting at the right escalator forever!
Wow, this seems like a big island! Can’t wait to play! 😀
Believe me, it’s great! You can even make a hat (And it can support your tribe) Go Wildfire!!
i liked making my own perfume
I see some similarities to 24 Carrot and Mystery Train…
I used 2 ❤ Dr. Seuss
Perfume? I didnt see a perfume-making machine….
in the Eau De Toillette place
It’s near the printfax store it looks like a bunch of trophies
me too
not as good as zomberry, but night watch is a nice addition to the list of islands 🙂
Well, you’re going through tunnels, like 24 Carrot. Oh, and you’re chasing people like on Mystery Train.
I love the elevator music 🙂
I know right?!?

…Please don’t.
what bars on the left side?
Please look at my name, and reply, PLEASE.!!!!
Slanted Fish: Thanks, but you can write your message in the comment and not the name section. 😛
Everyone uses my email..Im sad. Anyway I just wanna ask Slanted fish, is there any island that gives you alot of credits??
try Survival. It’s 5 episodes so it gives a lot of credits. it’s not that hard tho.
When I got the phone the time says 12:12 am hour later it still says 12:12 am why?
I can’t seem to get my smart phone to ring when I leave the Sizzle Tanning Salon. I restarted the island 5 or something times and it still doesn’t work. Help?
For me, you have to change rooms. Like the center to the right side.
please tell me where the scooter is. i searched the entire mall for it ;_;
If you’re at the beginning part (mall cop training), the scooter should be right where you are (or wherever you left it). If you’re past this point, the Segway (scooter) is retrieved from the Mall Manager’s Office, guarded by a keypad (the code is FROST, but you’ll need the notes from Gus first). After you hit the decoy robber with the Segway, the snake takes it from you, and you won’t need to use it again.
Slanted Fish… I don’t get why I can only use the scooter during training and not during my night watch shift! (not including chasing after the training burglar).
Slanted Fish: Unfortunately, that’s just the way the Creators made it.
I cant exit the island. Whenever I try to leave through the security office, the lady is in there & says follow me @ the end of her speech just like @ the start of the island & it’ll just keep doing that. Is it just a glitch or is there another exit?
Slanted Fish: Try using the PopTransport tool to teleport to another island, then go back if you want to.
What’s the PopTransport? Can you get it from the store? If so, how many credits?
slantedfish: PopTransport was a cheat tool that let you teleport to places in Poptropica. It’s no longer available.
if you pause on the elevator and un-pause you will fall out of the elevator until the doors open and then you teleport up to the elevator doors 😀
What? That Made No Sence.
After you say no loitering and the boy and girl leave, I don’t see a kid running up the escalator.
You Have To Go more To The Right, *Friendly Paw* He Should Be Right There. You Dont Have To Thank Me Im Just Really Nice Like That.
I didn’t like this island. It’s too easy and repetitive.
You obviously didn’t see all the cool new intractable features and new costumes,did you?
I liked it! 🙂
I liked it. IM WEARING ONE OF THE COSTUMES RIGHT NOW! Look At My Pic! Oh And If U Wanna Be My Friend On Poptropica My User Is #1b-ball2
Slanted Fish: Glad you liked it. 🙂
This takes way too long
This island is so fun! I love the store “In the now” and “we’ve got you covered”
It was kinda fun roaming around the mall in after-hours….
I couldn’t get into the store “we’ve got you covered”.
Hehehehehhe
The last time I played this island, i couldn’t get the burglar to come until i came back after a day. I tried that abut I still can’t get the burglar on the segway2 part. He comes when im OFF the scooter but when i get on, he disappears! what do i do?
Nvm. But i caught him and now i look all blurry and out of focus. lol
OMG!! That’s what happened to me too!! I was worried at first but all you have to do is go to another screen Young Flame
I cant find the toy store… it wasn’t on the mall directionary
hello. I have a problem in the part where you have to knock the dummy robber. the dummy
robber does not come. I need little help.
actually i finished the island so no problem!
How did you get you poptropican avatar to have his eyes closed and have rope tied around the avatar while holding an axe?
Why would you want to know? It looks terrible…
In Good Deals store, if you position yourself correctly next to one of the T.Vs, you’ll see
infinite yous! (excuse me if this was already mentioned)
PHB, your guide helped me a whole lot! Thanks!
Thanks Again!
OMG I had no idea the elevator worked until just now. I kinda feel stupid.
Thanks so much that helped a ton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
I’ve read all the comments and did all the things people said and that robber on the golf cart won’t come so I cant crash into him.
Slanted Fish: Try contacting Poptropica about the glitch.
i cant find the gussipie toys store
Slanted Fish: Check the map/blueprint.
Umm when I talked to the person to get the job all she said was she had to let the guy go because he was spooked by things that weren’t there. Then she keeps talking like her mouth is moving in a talking position but there is no speech bubble. So I reloaded it and it still did the same thing! What do I do?
I can’t find Guiseppe’s Toys!!!!!
Slanted Fish: Check the blueprint map on the office wall!
I finished this island with your help! Finally! Now I finished 9 islands.
cant find the store on the left. the toy shop
So easy to finish islands with this
Agreed!
so i finished it like 2 years ago
hey guys want grenades acrocc your chest? add me. b.o.b771
i completed this island alredy! thanks for your awsome help! { my username is actually my comments username, poptropicasosship455} { freind me!}
Someone friend me!!
I’m haikulovinggirl
add me chewybanoonoo
Just finished this island 😀 Mine’s xxhannahesxxx btw
OMG At the part where you have to guess the password for the scooter, I was listening to let it go and I immediately chose Frost without looking at the walkthrough. XD What a coincidence!
🙂 Meow.
well, as was saying it took so long for the decoy robot I went right and when I came back…..BOOM the burglar whacked me and I flew as high as the escalator
If you go into the store “The In Now”, there’s a few outfits you can costumize
why so i love this so much? the snakes like
‘freedom!’
then the other snakes would be like..
‘go on eddie do it for our rights!’
it takes forever for the robber to come out
Ok, I don’t know if you are deliberately avoiding these questions, Slanted Fish, but what are we supposed to do if the dummy robber doesn’t show up after acquiring the segway?
It would be great for you to answer so myself an others can finish this island.
I don’t respond to every comment that gets made because there would be too many to answer. Many answers can be found by reading the relevant pages/posts on this blog. In your case, I would suggest contacting Poptropica for help as you seem to be stuck at an unfortunate glitch. You can also try playing on a different web browser and/or computer.
Right, sorry. I was just a little annoyed as I was there for about 10 mins. Sorry if I was speaking (or typing) a bit rudely. I didn’t realise while I was typing, exactly what I was typing, and I’m sorry for that.
Btw, obviously I’m Addy, but I just changed my thing to abcadz123.
Also, for those who had the same problem as me, I’m sorry to tell you that I don’t think there is a definite way to make the dummy appear, but for now there’s this:
Step 1: Roam around the shopping centre (especially by the escalators) until he shows up. If not go to…
Step 2: Refresh the page
Step 3: Repeat step 1.
Step 4: Keep repeating steps 1 and 2 a couple times. Or if that doesn’t work…
Step 5: Close your internet tab and open it up again, along with poptropica (duh)
Step 6: MAYBE do steps 1 and 2 again but if not try a different browser as Slanted Fish suggested. (for dummies: e.g. from Chrome to Firefox, or to… INTERNET EXPLORER. Yes, I know, I’m terrible, but you’ll survive).
Step 7: Also suggested by Slanted Fish, If that does not work try a different computer. So maybe your laptop or a school computer… maybe a friends PC.
Step 8: Seriously, I don’t know HOW these haven’t worked but, if ALL else fails, you may have to restart the island… and if that doesn’t work, I honestly don’t know what will. I mean, you must be a walking bad luck charm, honestly.
Hope this helps (and sorry Slanted Fish)

Im up to the thief and the good deals electroonics part but the thief isnt running out! What do i do?
You don’t have to wait for it to come out…….
You just see what he’s doing.
I’m stuck at the tanning salon and the sunomatic 3000 won’t open. I’ve went out of the shop 2 times and done the same thing and still doesn’t work. Help!
HOW DO I GET OUT OF NIGHT WATCH ISLAND WHEN I’M DONE?!?!?! Also, add me as a friend: MCintheHouse4 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slanted Fish: Exit the mall to get back to the blimp on Main Street.

I think there’s a glitch… Once I get onto the segway after charging it up with the portable battery and go out, the police cart disappears. Is there any way to fix this?
Banner, this happened to me too. Just click go right and come back to where the police cart was. Then, well… just wait to AMBUSH him!! 😛
I cant catch the robber when im on the segway when we have to wait on the right escalator
I was kind of ticked off only because its been 3 days and I’m still waiting for the decoy robot. Is there some sort of process to speed the game up?
slantedfish: That’s probably a glitch – try playing on a different web browser or restart the island.
Same here treblecleflife Im SOOOO not patience why is this happening!?
Just go to a new atrium – that’s what I did. I WAS WAITING FOR 2 HOURS!
i cant find the toy store. help please
You can search in the “Guards Room” or what so ever.
There’s a map!
Hope this helps. 🙂
The Security Office, to be exact.
Um, when the robber says “This isn’t over yet,” every time I get to him, he’s just on the ground pushing the wall. PLEASE HELP!!!! 😦
same
omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no matter what i do i cant possibly find any kid on the escalator..
and the two kids just keep coming back ! is that even supposed to happen!?!?
LOL!!!!!!! Thief: I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for that meddling security guard! #scoobydoo #mysteryincorperated
you can ride the rides in the mall. you can get the coins by waiting under the water near the right side of the fountain.
In night watch island, don’t know if you know already but, If you catch one of the falling coins from the fountain you can use it on the rides. 😀
LOL when i stepped under the fountain to get the coin i got a coin follower!! It’s sooo weird but cool!!
I can’t get the robot to come and I’m waiting by the right escalator
I accidentally fell off the AC thing after I blew up the AC, I don’t want to start over though! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go to my multiverse the code is blg34 and my usernaem is veryirked plz add me
i like game show island
This reminds me of Night at the Museum. The old night guard’s name was Gus, for crying out loud! (Not that I’m complaining…) Who else love Night at the Museum more than anything?
The kid on the escalator is not there. What do I do???
From Maroon Singer
AUGHH it wont call me so that i can go to Sizzles and keep going! HELP ME
*looks at title* Did they make an FNAF themed island?
*looks at screenshots on guide* Huh. Guess not.
They sort of did.
So i was using the Hat Genie stand because of curiosity, and now i can’t take it off, unless i get a new hair. Why, Poptropica, why?
thank you sam for spending ur time helping us
I know it’s been a long time since this has been commented on, but I wanted to point out that Sam wrote “on” as “ion” above the picture of Crawl-Mart. 😛
slantedfish: Oh, thanks. It’s fixed now. 🙂
I’m at the right escalator waiting for the bandit but he’s not coming! Help?
go to the area at the left then come back. i did that and it worked for me
I need help . . . I’m at the part where something happens in the Carnival Costumes store and the connection breaks, but my phone won’t ring so that can happen. What do I do?
THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO
YOU JUST NEED TO WALK AROUND THE MALL UNTIL IT RINGS
thanks
Thanks so much
I accidentally hopped off my scooter, and now I can’t find it anywhere. How do I get my scooter back?
I fell off and can get back up on to the second floor with the segway anything i can do with out restarting?
by the fountain coins fall and you can ride the rides.
It took me 2.5 hours flat to finish this island. Very smple compared to skulduggery.
any thing is simple compared to skullduggery xcept steamworks.
My poptropican walks very slow on this island. Does it need to be like that?
so did mine. dont know whats wrong game laggy had problems yesterday too
SLANTED FISH HELP!
slantedfish: Try playing on a different browser and contact Poptropica support for help!
Love this island and love mall design. very cool. very cool.
when i get out of the toy store and the phone is soposed to ring IT DOES NOT RING PLS HELP PLEEEEEEAAAAASE pls repliy
WHY WONT THE ROBBER GO TO THE ELSALATER POPTROPICA HATES ME!!!!!!
I LOVE JUMPING ON THE BEDS IN THE SPINOFF OF SLEEPS ITS SO FUN
I’d say that this island is like Five Nights at Freddy’s.
i somehow go the old time baseball uniform before i completed the island
they should make it at the berry delicious smoothie shop that when you press the purple flavor, then go on it you should look like a zomberry
where is the boy running
you know,in the baseball card shop, if you click the vintage card trade frame,you can play a fun memory card game!
