Welcome to Reality TV Island, where you get to be a contestant on a reality TV game show and compete to be the hometown hero!

Tabloid & Application

Walk into Mike’s Market and head right. Talk to the man by the fresh donuts reading a blue tabloid magazine, and he’ll tell you that he’s got to go see Reality TV Island. In his rush to leave, he’ll drop his Tabloid. Pick it up.

Now click on your inventory and click to ‘Examine’ the Tabloid. Once it opens, click on ‘Next’ and you will find a blue application card. Tear it off, and you’ll have an Application.

Leave the market and go left toward the Wayside Motel.

Pen & Pizza

Enter the motel’s office and head right to the phone desk with a bunch of pens. Pick up a Cheap Pen, and use the telephone to dial 555-7383 (as in “555-PETE” as shown in the tabloid). Papa Pete’s Pizza will pick up.

You’ll order a small plain pizza and ask for it to be delivered to motel room 4B. Papa Pete’s says they’ll send a driver over.

Exit the office. Outside, talk to the woman with a pizza box.

You’ll offer to take care of it, and she’ll hand the pizza box over.

(Tip: If you have the ‘Costume Collector’ or members’ costume closet, you may want to take this opportunity to save the pizza box to your closet!)

Bucky Lucas

Jump up to room 4B and click on the door, announcing the pizza’s arrival. When the door swings open, enter and head right, where you’ll find a disheveled-looking man. That’s Bucky Lucas, the local celebrity of Wayside Town who won the Reality TV Island show many years ago.

He’ll take the pizza. Next, tell him you could really use the grand prize for the reality TV show. Bucky Lucas will give you a Postage Stamp. Go to your inventory and click ‘Use’ on the stamp to stick it on your application card.

Applying for Reality TV

Leave Bucky’s house, and go right until you see TV World, the local television store. Enter and hop up to the third floor.

Click on the biggest TV screen and wait. It will soon announce that it’s your last chance to be on the show, and give you an address to send applications to: 123 Star Avenue, Hollywood.

This information will be put on your application card. Also, you can write anything you want on your application to answer the box for “Why do you think you should be on reality TV?”

Once you’re done having fun with that, head over to the blue mail post box next to TV World to mail in your application!

The Next Day…

You can hardly believe it as a helicopter comes flying into Wayside Town with the specific purpose of bringing you to compete on Reality TV Island. It’s your big moment, so get up on that roof and make things happen!

Begin the Show

Upon starting the show, you’ll meet your fellow contestants for the season.

(Tip: You might not see them all in one season, but if you end up playing more than one show, you will get to meet more of them.)

For your reference, here is an alphabetical list of possible opponents you may be up against: Betty Brownie, Betty Jetty, Black Widow, Bret Batter, Busy Bob, Cathy Codex, Chef Jeff, Director D, Dr. Hare, Freddy Fry, Grandma Gracey, Grandpa Grum, Helen Hike, Hip Hop, Hippie Harry, Lassie Lasso, Magic Mervin, Merry Muse, Ned Noodlehead, Richie Rebel, Rickie Rock, Sally Score, Sarah Snooty, Sickly Skull, and Slim Slam.

Each day on the show, you’ll get a random challenge. The challenges are pretty simple and you are given instructions before you begin, but here are some tips and helpful information for each one, listed here alphabetically.

Tips to keep in mind as you play:

  • If you get a challenge you know you’re not good at, use your browser’s “back” button to go back to the “begin” page for that round and click on the button again to get a different challenge. Be warned that this tends not to work on the last round.
  • Watch who votes off whom, and anticipate that they may vote off that person again in the next round if they can. Vote off the person you think will get the most votes based on this. Be careful — if someone you try to vote off doesn’t get voted off, they may decide to vote you off in the next round.

After the end of every challenge, someone will be voted off the show. If you or any other contestant wins a challenge, they will be immune from being voted off for that round. The contestant with the most votes is kicked out of the show. You have to survive seven rounds to be declared the winner.

With all that being said, here are some tips on winning each game!

Balanced Diet

You have to keep your pole balanced. Try to keep the dot in the middle; it gets harder as more food is placed with your pole. As the brown dot (top of the pole) moves, move your cursor toward the opposite side to keep it centered.

balanced diet

Boulder Push

Keep left-clicking rapidly on your computer mouse on your boulder rock, as fast as you can, to reach the finish line first.

Coconut Catch

When the monkey throws coconuts, you have to jump and try to catch them before the others do. Stay to the left and center if you can. All coconuts are fair game, but grabbing the bunches of 3 coconuts will help you get to your objective faster, increasing your chances of being the winner. The winner is the first to get 20 coconuts.

Geyser Guess

This game is based purely on luck and chance. You need to select a geyser hole on the ground and hope it doesn’t blast you off. This is just a game of luck, and the same geyser can erupt twice in a row! The last player still standing will be declared the winner.

Hang Glider

Your main objective in this mini-game is to avoid the birds and the erupting volcanoes, which will knock you out of the air if you get hit by them. Last one still flying wins!

The best way to win is to stay just behind a group of gliders so that you can better fly out of the way of obstacles. Always stay near the top of the screen unless there is a bird coming. When the volcano lava is starting to make a ball, stay away! When it is done erupting, speed forward.

Knockout

Basically, you have a sling-shot with a rock and you have to pull back to hit any of your opponents’ plates. Whoever’s plate is the least broken after the three rounds, wins. Aim for the plates with the least damage, and pull the slingshot just halfway for the lower plates and farther for the top row of plates. The person with the most of their plate left unbroken is the winner!

Mountain Race

The objective of this challenge is to reach the top of the mountain before your opponents do, but you have to watch out for and avoid the rocks as you run uphill. If the rock is falling from the air, click below to duck; if it’s sliding downward, jump to avoid them.

Keeping yourself a little farther to the right (higher) works best even if you get hit once or twice, because most of the overhead rocks will miss you. But you still have to jump over the rolling rocks!

On the Line

Click the left click on your mouse and your fishing pole automatically will go down and come back up. If you’re lucky, it will return with a fish. The winner is the first to get 5 fish. Look for fish ABOVE your hook.

Also, consider the speed of the fish and the speed of your fishing line when reeling the hook in. Click as soon as your line can come close to any fish’s mouth. You can time its rise again to try to hook it.

on the line

Pole Climb

The objective of this challenge is to stay on the poles and move right or left, while trying to avoid the falling coconuts. Click right or left to dodge the falling coconuts.

Tip: When a coconut has just gone down on one of the poles, jump to that pole. Always watch the top of your pole for coconuts. The first to reach the top wins.

Shot Put

Click the angle to where it reaches 45 degrees, so it should be right in the middle. Click again when the power bar is full. Whoever’s rock goes the farthest is declared the winner.

Shuffleboard

Click to aim your puck to the center of the target. There are three rounds. The objective is for your puck to be at the center of the target at the end of the 3rd round. On the first round, if you aim your puck to the center of the target, the other challengers can knock your puck out of the target in the next 2 rounds – prevent them from winning, and keep your puck in place!

Select a long shot (long arrow) for the first shot, or bank it hard into one side to go around your opponents. Get close and don’t shoot too hard. Because you are the last player to move your puck at the end of the last round, you need to make that shot count the most!

Totem Hop

Just stay on your totem and if your totem starts to shake, click on another one until you’re the last one standing. Keep in mind that you can’t jump long distances, so be careful.

Turtle Shell Toss

All you have to do in this challenge is to throw your coconut into the turtle shells; the larger, closer turtle shell awards you 10 points, while the smaller, farther one gives you 20 points. There are three rounds. Match your mouse with the angle your opponents throw at if they make a 20 point shot, so that you can cash in on the same amount of points they get just as easily.

Throwing at a 45-degree angle will almost always guarantee three hits on the 20-point shell. (You can set your cursor at the center of the palm tree to get this aiming point.) At the end, the challenger with the most points wins. If there is a tie, a tie breaker will be played until someone misses.

Water Run

The objective is to fill your jug with water from the waterfall, then bring it back safely without spilling it. You must stand on the red-and-white circle on the right to have your water counted for your score. First to 100% water filled wins.

Watch out for the boar, who may attempt to knock you down. If the boar hits you, your water jug will be emptied and you’ll need to go back to the waterfall on the left to refill. Fill your bottle completely full so it will only take four trips (one less than full) to fill your container to 100%.

And the winner is…

You! (Hopefully.)

If you didn’t win the show, try and try again until you do. Once you win, you’ll get to go home and be the hero of Wayside Town.

rtv win

Congratulations, you have completed Reality TV Island! You will be awarded the Reality TV Island Medallion and credits to spend in the Poptropica Store.

(Tip: If you ever want to restart the show and play the challenges again, just take a ride on the helicopter! However, you can only win the store credits once.)

Trivia

  • Reality TV Island is Poptropica’s 11th island. The island was released on February 24, 2010 for members, and March 24, 2010 for non-members.
  • Reality TV Island is based on the hit reality game show Survivor. In 2008, the Creators’ Blog had a poll asking what type of island players would like to see, and one of the popular options was called Survivor island.
  • Some of the contestants are characters encountered on the previous ten islands: Betty Jetty, Black Widow, Director D, Dr. Hare, and Ned Noodlehead.
  • Common room: Billiards
  • The TV show Bucky Lucas was on (and the one you later appear in) is called Reality TV Island, just like the island’s actual name.
  • Like Monster Carnival, Reality TV Island disappeared for a short while from the Poptropica Map. Fortunately, it did eventually come back. However, it kept getting delayed, and was originally intended to be released in the summer of 2009, before Counterfeit Island, which ended up being made available online before RTV Island.
  • Papa Pete’s Pizza is a parody of Papa John’s Pizza. Players are supposed to deliver the pizza to Bucky Lucas. (Tip: You can save the pizza box to your costume closet while you’re still holding it, if you want to keep it to wear later!) There is also a Papa Pete’s Pizza car in Zomberry Island.
  • The Tabloid contains references to other Poptropica islands: Super Power Workout, Shopping for Sharks, Dancing with Director D, Secrets of the Mimes, Cooking with Dr. Hare, Battle of the Bards, Dating the Black Widow, Black Widow in Style, Spy Sports (as in Sky Sports), and [not an island] Poptropica Planet (likely a reference to Animal Planet). The front page advertises “The Bard’s Secrets to Success” and “Dr. Hare: Is he still in space?”
  • You can squash the cockroaches crawling on the motel walls.

  1. A huge thanks goes to Mega Boy for writing this Poptropica Reality TV Guide, and those credited above for their help as well. Hope this helps you out, and if you have any questions, feel free to comment below. 🙂

      1. I am so glad there is people in the world like you that take time out of their day to help others accomplish things!

      3. That’s kind of the point. Someone gets voted off after every challenge, until there is one person left, and you should try to be that one person. It’s how the winner is decided.

      1. All the possible opponents are listed in the guide, but you only need to beat 7 challenges to win, so you start with 8 contestants (including you) until they slowly get voted off and you’re the one remaining.

      6. You can voet yourself off too. Grandpa Grum did that and I thought that was funny because he voted himself off. LOL

      8. hi.Juyo, I need some advice please… I stink at the “ShuffleBoarding” game, and I always come in 4th, 2nd if lucky. Anything to say?

      9. For the first shot, shoot long to land your puck near the scoring rings. In the second round, your opponents may knock your puck off course. Wait until it’s your turn again and adjust your arrow for as much as you need to be as close as you can to the middle ring, and do the same for the last round. Good luck! 🙂

      1. Hijuyo, can more than one person be voted off?

        Slanted Fish: (I’m ‘Hijuyo’ by the way) No, one person only is voted off per round at a time until one winner is left.

      4. Cool Bite, why should only one person get voted off?

      5. I have 1 cheat. (BTW I’m only sure that this works on a PC)
        If you come across a game that your really bad at, then you can click the back arrow before it goes to the voting part (Note: This does not work if you already are on the voting screen, because it’s already saved.) If you do this too many times on one day on the island it gets weird. By one day on the island I mean like Day 1,2,3,4,etc.

      6. i got totally screwed over three times in a row where i got second place once i lost becaus eof geysers once was a computer glitch and one i was totally winning but then at the last second she pushed past me i hate this level

    10. hay if you click in the middle of the palm tree in the turtle shell toss then you get 20 all the time haha cheats got me tripping

      2. Who’s cute? Hiphop? He’s fictional and he doesn’t even say anything unless you click on him. @SCREAMER! and hiphop, I’ve been reading your comments through my email lately and you guys are a bit annoying :/

      7. And, we were just describing this. The oppenents are cute. Don’t say that again or I’m gonna tell Slanted Fish!

      12. Yes, that was. But look at Serious Shadow’s comment! He just said something really mean!

  4. This is soo cool! But I only read about the games, no spoilers for this Island I’ve decided! But great guide Mega Boy! 😀

    2. Um……..don’t you think this is a bit of a spoiler for the nonmembers? But good job Mega Boy anyway.

      Hijuyo: Non-members don’t have to read it yet if they don’t want spoilers… 😉

      Reply

      3. well, i LOVE spoilers!!! its makes me more excited to see what im up against for some reason. Okay,some of you dont like spoilers, but thats okay, because that means you guys like surprises heehee thats cool 😉

  7. On the Line (Fishing Game) Tip: Look for fish ABOVE your hook. You will also need to consider the speed of the fish and the speed of your Poptropican when reeling the hook in.

    Reply

    1. Turtle Shell Toss: It’s where you have a ball, then, you aim for a shell. There are two shells: A large, closer one worth 10 points, and a smaller, farther away one worth 20 points. a tip: match your mouse with the angle your opponents throw at. if they make a 20 point shot, just click your mouse. BAM! 20 point easy as pie. Also, go for the 10 point shell in the first round. that way some points will back you up. Note: there are three rounds.

      Reply

      1. No. Click on the middle of the palm tree for all of your shots and you get 20 every time! Starting with 10 means getting half the points you should be getting.

      3. I only said “Oh, crap” and that’s it!

    1. i do 2! and i just found out tht my parentz JOKED ’bout me get’n membership! 😦 they said i dnt need it! so ima just gonna wait a month for rtv

      Reply

      1. Well, they are right cuz you don’t NEED it. Just cause the parent won’t give her membership DOESN’T mean they are bad parents. 😉 Just saying.

      2. Membership is a waste of money.Just say that your parents not only did themselves a favor,they did you a favor.
        Membership is a waste and not worth it. 😀

      1. If you also look inside at what’s on, you can see hilarious stuff like Cooking with Dr Hare and that, but you’ll have to look real close

      3. There is…

Literally! They all looked the same and I couldn’t tell who was who! They had black Afros,black pants,and white sleeveless shirts! Then At the base camp, they still had white skin EXCEPT THEIR EYES. It was freaky!

  17. Personally, I can’t believe that we have to face Director D and Dr. Hare AGAIN! I mean we beat them, arrested them or he got lost in space and suddenly we have to face them all over again?

    Side note: When do Dr. Hare and Director D. get voted off?

  18. LOL! I’m looking forward to RTV. I’m also not gonna refuse to look at spoilers.I’m gonna read the spoilers! 😀

    Reply

  19. PRETTY GOOD. for the turtle shell game, put your mouse in the middle of the tree in the background, and you’ll get 20 every time. plus, the starting with ten points thing doesn’t work. its just better to earn as many points as possible by getting 60 (20 points x 3 rounds), the maximum.

    Reply

    1. There is actually no maximum. there can be tie breakers where everyone who has a tied score keep throwing until someone wins out. a tip for this is to get the 20 points and just keep your mouse in the same place 😉

      Reply

      1. once this tie breaker swent on till richie rebel and sickly skull got 150 or 160 points each and sickly skull won(i only had 20 points)!

    2. Which tree? There are 2, the really huge one and the palm tree.

      Hijuyo: The palm tree helps. 😀

      Reply

      2. As it says in the guide, the palm tree helps you aim for the coconut shell with the highest points. Position your cursor at the tree’s center and click.

  20. This island was crazy hard for me. I literally played 6 seasons of the show in total to beat it. I think it can vary, though, because some may get it on their first try.

  45. Phew! It took me two seasons to win the medallion. By the way, I got a tip for Geyser Guess.

    What I did is on the first round, I hope I don’t get blasted and if I didn’t, on the second round I choose the geyser hole the eliminated person chose in the first round cause it will be unlikely that the same hole will blast again. I do the same in the other rounds.

    The island was fun! Great guide too, although I didn’t use it.

  46. Dude, Like lightning struck in the poptropica screen,after i clicked on the phone.Is that supposed to happen,cuz i dont think it is.And i dont have the lightning staff.im freaked out.

    Hijuyo: You have to keep the dot in the middle by following it with your cursor in the opposite direction. 😉

  58. Easy way to win the Turtle Shell Toss:
    Place your mouse slightly below or on the bottom right palm frond in the background. You can get twenty points every time if you position your angle that way every time.

  60. New RTV challenge! It’s called Knockout. Basically, you have a sling-shot with a rock and you have to pull back to hit your plate. If you end up with the LEAST percentage of unbroken plate, you win!

  61. Knockout!
    Pull back and release the stone to shoot at your oppenent’s plates. The player with most of their plate left after 3 rounds win! Really your slinging your slingshot into these brown circles (plates).

  67. Important Tips:

    It’s nice to win all the challenges. But it is especially important you win the challenge on Day 6. If you get immunity on that day by winning the challenge, you are guarenteed a spot in the final two. You also get to choose who your competitor is.

    Try Again Cheat:

    Before you start a challenge, save your game at base camp. If you lose, quickly X out and reopen Poptropica and try again. Repeat as needed. Be very quick, though: once the base camp reappears for the voting ceremony, the outcome of the challenge is permament.

  70. You can refresh the page if the game is one you aren’t good at. The seasons are still saved though. 7 time winner!

  71. I have some hints for the minigames!:

    Balanced Diet : As the brown dot (top of the pole) moves, move your cursor toward the opposite side of it to keep it centered.

    Boulder Push : Your most rapid clicking will almost always be successful

    Coconut Grab : Stay to the left and center and time your jumps to get groups of single coconuts or preferably groups of three. (More than two others will usually get in each other’s way.)

    Geyser Guess : This is just a game of luck, and the same geyser CAN erupt twice in a row!

    Mountain Race : Avoid the rocks as you run uphill. Running farther to the right (higher) is an advantage even if you get hit once or twice, because most of the overhead rocks will miss you. But you still have to be aware of the rolling rocks!

    On the Line : Click as soon as your line can come close to any fish’s mouth. You can time its rise again to hit them.

    Pole Climb : Click right or left to dodge the falling coconuts.Tip:When a coconut just goes down on one of the trees jump to that tree.

    Shot Put : Click to aim at a 45-degree angle (the middle). Click again when the power meter is close to the top. (Best score is 55-60.)

    Shuffleboard : Select a long shot (long arrow) for the first shot, or bank it hard into one side to go around your opponents. Get close and don’t shoot too hard.

    Turtle Shell Toss : Throwing at a 45-degree angle will almost always guarantee three hits on the 20-point shell. (You can set your cursor at the center of the palm tree to get this aiming point.)

    Totem Hop : When a totem starts to shake, you have time to leap to another (click on the one you want to jump to).

    Water Run : Jump the obstacles and avoid the boar. Fill your bottle COMPLETELY full so it will only take four trips (one less than full) to fill your container to 100%.

    Hang Gliding: You fly across the sky and avoid the volcano erupting and birds Tip: Always stay near the top of the screen unless there is a bird coming.(Another) Tip: When the volcanoes lava is starting to make a ball,STAY AWAY!!! When it is done erupting, speed forward.

    Knockout: Each player takes three shots. Aim for the plates with the least damage, and pull the slingshot just halfway for the lower plates and farther for the top row of plates.The person with the most of their plate left is the winner!

    Hope you had fun and hope this helps!

  73. I have a question about this blog but I don’t know where to put it, so I’ll just put it here and please don’t (virtually) yell at me if there’s somewhere else I’m supposed to be posting this.

    If we finish an island before the guide for it is posted on this site, can we type up a guide about what we did and e-mail it to you, or do you only want members of the PHB team making guides for this site?

    Hijuyo: You’re welcome to send in any contributions to the PHB at [email protected]. We appreciate the help and support of our readers! 🙂

      8. @Hatersloveme, (Wrong comment) means that you have to ignore the last comment.

    2. You do now. You get 200 credits the first time you win, and you get 150 every time after that. If you get really good at this you will be rich!

      slantedfish: Actually, you can only win credits the first time you complete an island.

  77. For the fishing part, the Black Widow got five fish in just as many seconds. What the heck? And also how the heck is that even possible?

    Hijuyo: Maybe she has great fishing skills we never knew about. 😛

  78. Mountain race guide: Stay on the line where the third last person on the top is. You only have to jump on falling rocks!!

    Water run guide: Fill your jug with water, be with someone until they jump, jump high too, the boar will be there.

    Totem hop guide: When a totem starts to shake your standing on, jump to a close totem. Not too far, you will slip and fall down.

    Shuffleboard guide. Do not go in the center of the target on the 1st or second round, just go close to the target, (someone will push you out of the target) and prepare for the center in 3rd round.

    On the line guide: grab the fish by the fishes mouth.

    Pole climb guide: If your draw with someone near the finish, go on the flag before your opponent your with.

    Hang glider guide: just stay on the top left corner and then when a bird comes, just go down. The volcanoes won’t touch you.

    I hate Slim Slam and Betty Brownie and Busy Boband Bret Batterand Lassie Lasso and Richie Rebel and Cathy Codex and the oldies. But Sally Score and Ned Noodlehead are kind. Director D Betty Jetty Sarah Snooty Sickly Skull and Merry Muse are Ok. All the other i sometimes like and sometimes not. Helen hiker and Magic Mervin are ok too.

      4. Oh yeah Amanda,I did it 17 times,you just got schooled!!!!!!

  80. BTW for the Turtle Toss game, just put your cursor (pointer) directly in the 20 point shell, but don’t click. The shells take turns going up and down so when the 10 pointer is down, click your mouse.
    100% success rate…faster too…

    1. I was playing Turtle Shell Toss too.
      I always get 60 everytime. Except for tie breakers.
      I got 110 points with Betty Jetty as 90 for a tie breaker!

      1. Oh, yeah? I got 200 points for Richie Rebel for a tie breaker! Oh, you just got poned, man.

      6. hate love thats not possible because it goes my 20s 90 is not in the 20 so not possible did that make sence

  82. I extremely love Reality TV!!!!!
    I disagree if they say it’s the worst. It’s the best!!!!!!
    Water Run is the Hardest.
    I am the best at it though,i win a lot of times!
    Thanks for the walkthrough.
    It’s the best, even the island too!
    Love this!!!
    Reality TV is the best!

      8. Hiphop told Serious Shadow not to say a bad word again, and Cool Bite scolded him! And Marie said a bad word to Speed of Light and I have to call Cool Bite! That’s why!

      13. one more thing,you guys are always saying “oh,you just got pwned” but when other people say it,you don’t like it oh and marie i beat 29 seasons so who got schooled now??????!!!!!!!

  84. Minigame Guide:

    Boulder Push: Click rapidly and speedy to be first in the finish line to win!

    Coconut Catch: Catch coconuts with bunches or three or single! But don’t catch bombs!Stay away from other people, and it’s a game of timing too so remember to catch it before your opponents do!

    On the Line: Just fish and you have to catch it by the fishes mouth, you can remember the speed of the fish above so you can click and catch.

    Totem Hop: When your totem shakes, jump on another stable totem. It gets more harder later on. Jump to your closest stable totem-you might slip and fall into the sea.

    Balanced Diet: This is very tricky. Keep your pole balanced! More fruit more harder. Put your cursor to the opposite of the dot. Keep it in the middle most.

      8. Marie, do you want me to tell Slanted Fish that you’re not responding to Break Dance?

  87. Does it matter who we vote for? Or just vote for like the ugliest one, or the one who alsmost won?

    Hijuyo: If you vote for the one who almost won, it would help because it would eliminate competition.

      1. Hip Hop wears gangster-like, hip-hop-style clothing, like a red cap, jacket, and bling. You might be able to see him as a contestant when you play Reality TV, so you could customise from him there.

      8. *runs after pet shop owner, grabs cage from him, runs away, locks door, and opens cage

  88. Ugh! It’s SO frustrating when you almost win the challenge and they vote you out! I’m just terrible at Balanced Diet! Otherwise, I think this island is super easy! 🙂

  89. Hee…… I have a follower Hummingbird, and she shows up even if none of the characters do. Like at the beginning screen for the TV challengem before you see your competition, she’s just flittering round, oblivious to the world. 😀
