When you arrive on Shrink Ray Island, go directly to the school and into the room where the science fair is taking place. All the other science fair displays are up, save for one: turns out, the star student, CJ, is missing! Talk to CJ’s father next to the empty stand on the right and ask how you can help. He’ll tell you to go check in on their apartment in Avenue A.

CJ’s Apartment

Now head down right to Avenue A. Go to the house at the far end. A cat will get in the house, and you will have to shoo it out! Chase the cat around the house, until it enters the bathroom. When you come out of the bathroom, the cat will have mysteriously disappeared, but his paw can still be felt if you pass by the front door – so every time you do pass that door later on, be sure to jump!

To solve a problem this big, we have to think small…

Now we’ll have to check the house for clues on CJ’s disappearance. Go to CJ’s bedroom to the left and click on the microscope, where CJ has left you a note saying that her invention has been stolen and you will need to think small to find it.

message

And then a man will come with a gun and shoot you. You will be shrunk down to miniature size!

Now, travel through the house to the kitchen on the right. Along the way you will see drawers, pieces of fuzz, books, and all sorts of big things (but that’s because you’re tiny now).

Kitchen

Inside the kitchen, your goal is to reach a scrap of paper with clues sitting unreachably on the table at the far right. First, enter the right area of the kitchen (there are two parts; left and right).

Push the brown rolling pin towards the kettle, and the kettle will start steaming. The steam of the kettle should push you onto the top right shelf, containing flour, sugar, and oil. Tip the can of oil over, and it will drip oil down to the ground.

oil

Jump down to where the cat food bowl is, and push it to a spot where it’ll be directly in the path of the bag of cat food above. Next, hop over to the bag of cat food and click on it to drop the food into the bowl.

When the cat food bowl is full, move it towards the bottom of the table, get on top of the food bowl, and jump! You should land on the farthest right table and pick up the Piece of Paper. Move the cat food bowl again, this time placing it under the grapes on the table, and jump again to grab a grape – which you will now be carrying.

Now go back to the left side of the kitchen. Jump up to the open drawers and pick up the Screwdriver. Next, take the toaster’s cord and plug it into the outlet. Carrying the grape, you’ll now have enough weight to jump onto the toaster switch – wait a moment as the toaster gets heated, and you’ll be flung up to the shelf above.

place

Push the salt shaker on the shelf to the far left end until it rests on the bottom of the spatula. Next, jump on the other side of the spatula, and it will fling you to the top of the fridge, where you can grab the Remote Control!

Dumpster Diving: Into the Trash Can

Jump back down to the kitchen floor and up the drawers to where the sink is, then click down to enter the trash can below. Inside, it’s a bit of a mess, as well as a bit of a maze – to get to certain areas, you will have to click on objects to move them. Scroll down below for help with this maze.

shrink-ray-4

Follow these steps carefully (careful, one false move and you’ll be squished!):

  1. Right at the start, move the can of tuna to the right.
  2. Jump down and move the next piece of cheese to the left, so the column does not collapse on you.
  3. Jump up through the top and keep going! Move the next can of milk to the right and follow it down.
  4. Next, go left and push the cheese left out of the way.
  5. Jump over to where the tuna can is, and push it right so it falls down. This gives you something to stand on.
  6. Stand on the tuna can and pull the next can of tuna out left. As you do so, run right so you don’t get squished!
  7. The column should collapse, allowing you to walk over the top of it to a new area.
  8. Go right, pull out the final can of tuna to the left, jump on it, and jump up to grab the Torn Page.

Once you’ve grabbed that slip of paper, you can allow yourself to get squished to bring you back to the beginning, where you can then exit the trash maze.

Living Room

Head to the living room (left of the kitchen) and use the Screwdriver while standing near the toy truck to unscrew the battery case. Take the Battery and stick that into the TV remote on the table just above the toy truck. Now go to the remote and press the big green button. It should turn the TV on.

Go up to the top of the TV and collect static from the antennas. Once you’ve got static clung to your body, jump over to the green balloon, and the static will allow you to stick onto it as you float over to the pictures on the wall.

Jump onto the picture frame, then jump left to reach the shelf with fish food.

Pour the fish food downwards, and it will fall into the fish tank below to mollify the fish. Turn off the tank’s aqua filter, jump into the tank, and grab the Diary Key in the treasure chest.

key1

CJ’s Bedroom

Now jump down and exit the living room, through to the next room, and reach the diary on the top shelf by jumping up the bookshelf to the plant on top and then to the top shelf to reach it.

shrink-ray-6

Use the Diary Key to unlock CJ’s diary. Inside the diary, you will that one of the pages has been torn out – which matches the Torn Page from the trash can!

Use the Torn Page where you’re standing to reveal this message: “The thief is right out the door! I’ll shrink myself to get the shrink ray and then get him later.”

diary

There will be a simple formula below that: lemon + paper + light. Jump down to where the lamp is on the desk and place the Piece of Paper under the lamp light. Jump on the lamp a few times so the light is shining on the paper completely, and click the switch on the lamp to turn it on.

lamp

A message will reveal itself on the page: look for me at the school coordinates.

While you’re in the computer area of CJ’s bedroom, jump up to where the thermostat is and run on it until the setting is pointed at the red spot, heating up the room.

Go to the telescope at the far end of the room and jump onto the X/Y switches. On the X switch, run right on top of it and set it to 87. On the Y switch, set it to 16. The school coordinates are X87, Y16 – this information can be found on CJ’s cork board in the bedroom.

For this part, you’ll also need the Morse Code Key, which you should get from on top of CJ’s bed. You’ll also need the thumb drive from under CJ’s bed. To get that, jump onto the fan so it goes lower so you can reach the switch. Hit the switch, and the fan will turn on and blow away the dust under CJ’s bed. Turn the fan off and grab the Thumb Drive.

Go back to the computer and plug the thumb drive in. The password for the laptop is the name of CJ’s hero, Marie Curie, with numbers in place of certain letters for added security. Type in m4r13 cur13 – with the space – and upload the data on the thumb drive to the laptop.

04_ShrunkenMicroscope

Now, go back to the right side of the bedroom and tip the trash can over on the way. The rubbish scraps should float up because of the heat coming from the vent, and you will be able to get across. Go back to the telescope and look through it.

From the school, CJ will flash you a message with her flashlight. A morse code translation mini-game will occur, but if you don’t want to analyze the codes she’s flashing, just wait for her to flash each letter and then select the right one, spelling out the message: flush the thumb drive. She wants you to flush it… literally.

Bathroom Break

Now, head left, all the way until you reach the half-open bathroom door (you can see the green tiled walls beyond) and enter. Jump up the half-open drawers to get onto the countertop, run past the sink, and keep going until you reach two switches. Jump down on the switch to the right to turn off the ventilation fan.

By the way, if you do stop by the sink and turn on the hot water faucet, you can let the mirror steam up, revealing hints for CJ’s password. But we already told you that (above).

shrinkray2

Anyway, run over to the hair dryer on the rack left of the sink. Jump onto the red switch to make warm air come out. Then, jump on the right of the hair dryer to make it tilt. Now, jump directly in front of the hair dryer. The heat should push you up and into the shower!

shrink-ray-8

Once in the shower area, go to the water dispenser in the bathtub and turn the warm knob. Water will start to fill the tub. You’ll also need to push a soap bar into the tub from a fixture on the wall.

Now, jump onto the bar of soap, then onto the rubber ducky, and finally out of the tub to the left where the toilet is.

Standing on top of the toilet bowl, use the thumb drive to drop it in. Then jump on top of the toiler paper and click on the flush handle. As soon as you flush, a voice will come from the living room calling, “Drat, where did she hide that darned thumb drive?”

Never too young to be driving a toy car!

Go back to the bedroom and head for the telescope, making sure the dials are set to the school coordinates: X87, Y16. CJ will flash you another message: Thief is Mr. Silva.

scret

You will see a dark figure pass through the science classroom where CJ is flashing you the message! You have to get back to the school to save her.

Now, get back to the toy car in the living room. Take the battery out of the TV remote and put it back into the toy truck so you can power it. Hop into the toy car and drive it all the way to the bedroom, until you see a stack of books blocking the way. Climb up to the bookshelf and push the book titled Tess’ Tree down. That will act as a ramp for you to ride over!

shrink ray car ramp

Then, a short cutscene will play – you’ll jump across the ramp and break straight through the window. Like a boss!

Now it’s time for another mini-game. Keep driving the car through the streets, but as it goes, watch for things that you should avoid like sewer drains, leaky fire hydrants, and shoes – but do hit the ramps for an extra boost! Eventually, you’ll make it to the public school, PS101.

Shrinking Silva

Inside the school’s science room, CJ will tell you that while Mr. Silva has always been a great teacher, he’s betrayed her and stolen the shrink ray for himself.

shrink-ray-10

A mini-game will begin. You must run from the evil teacher, Mr. Silva, who’s holding the shrink ray and threatening to make you and CJ even smaller! For the final showdown, hide behind any object that will cover you, so that when the shrink ray is pointed at you, it will shrink the objects instead.

While hiding whenever the shrink ray draws near, make your way to the far end of the room and climb up the shelf. Then, jump up to the table and run right, hiding behind the earth globe. When the shrink ray hits the globe, instead of disappearing like the other objects you hid behind earlier, the globe will simply get smaller. Push the globe to the chair in the middle of the room, and jump on it to reach the chair.

Climb up from the chair to the table, then hide behind the lunch box for cover. Once Mr. Silva’s ray shrinks that, quickly dash right and hide behind the mirror. Your next move will be the winning move! Wait for the ray to fire again, and… this time, because it hits the mirror, the laser will bounce back and shrink Mr. Silva instead! He’ll land inside a nearby ant colony container – tiny as can be.

Now, go down and flip the switch on the shrink ray device to “grow”, bringing you and CJ back to normal size. She will award you the Island Medallion and credits to spend at the Poptropica Store. As for CJ’s science project, it’s a prize-winning display starring Mr. Silva as “The Incredible Shrunken Man”!

      1. If you jump on the slide, then slide down and with your arrow, point left when it’s blue, then you’ll go all the way to Sweet Dreams Candy Shop.

      2. I have a really stupid question… if i restart an island that i have already solved the quest, will i lose 100 credits? xD

      3. no way! the poptropica creators would never do that! not in a million years! You will lose your credits when you spend them. When you restart and you spend them and then still have some left, then you will won’t lose them. Hoped I answered your question! 🙂

      6. do u have a milk blocking your way right after you dropped the milk?

      2. OMG this is a really cool island, but i’m standing on the toilet bowl, i try to put the thumb in the toilet, but it won’t work. HOW!?!?!?

      3. Well their wrong if u need help this is the right place to go it also helped me💖💖

      4. I had no idea what to do after I shrunk I just walked in the bathroom and climbed the cabinet I was so stupid and this helped a lot

    8. But its really hard to jump onto the green balloon since it reallllly far i cant even get past that its got me stuck on that island and i completed a lot of other islands on that account

      Reply

      4. I can fix it! Don’t jump from the antenna! Rather stand on the edge of the TV, and jump into the balloon, it might take a few tries. It worked for me 🙂

      2. Have you tried jumping on the shelf and running behind the globe, if you have the push the globe to the right of the chair, where you started, quickly jump on the chair then jump on the shelf where you find the lunchbox that hide behind. After that it should be a piece of cake depending on the person. P.S I’m predicting this what your supposed to do. I hope my information is helpful.😄

      5. Soup this is the best island I playing it in real life wth my toys awkward but fun
        Peace out God bless gigi

      8. there is a part of the walkthrough to help, but in the corner of the screen there is a RESTART button. press that and you will be at the beginning again without losing the item you get. 😛

    11. i need help when the teacher will shrink you smaller that nobody will see you part the globe is too big too push that fast the teacher wont shrink me and that whole thing is too much i left a think on the floor near to hide behind i hid behind it after that i pushed the globe but i was too late i need major help

      Reply

      1. don’t hide behind the books in the beginning, because that is what I hid behind after I pushed the globe down. You push it down to the floor, hid behind the books, finish pushing it, get to the table, and finish it.

      2. You dont need to push the globe climb on top of it then jump from underneath the chair then hide behind the cup and other things

      1. Get the static, go to the edge of the TV and jump onto the balloon from below. It might take a few tries. It worked for me, good luck! 😀

      1. That’s kinda like me except when you push the milk down and follow it there is more than one cheese and I was pretty sure it was the bottom cheese so I pushed that one out. Then, when you have to pull out the second tuna can it won’t work! I can’t even click on it! PLEASE HELP ME!

    14. I have had to use these guides for so many islands, I am so thankful that I was able to search up a simple question on google and it gave me this. I wish I had a better way of showing my gratitude but unfortunately this is all I can do–for now, at least.

      Reply

      1. Me too! It’s so frustrating! And I can’t find anything that I needed to do before that!

      2. I think I got it! For some reason the diary page didn’t load so I could examine/read it so my character didn’t know what to do. (Even though I did because of this blog.) after I went back and read the diary, my character wasn’t so confused!!!

    23. but when you have to get the key from the fish, i sink to the bottom and go to the key but the fish swim to me and knock me out- that is because they are guarding the dairy key in the treasure chest, how did you guys get past that part???

      Reply

    24. Btw there is a easier way to get to the shelf for the catapult. Just jump on the toaster and u can jump on the shelf.

    27. HELP ME!!!! Whenever I try to flush the thumb drive, it says its not a good time to use it. HOW DO I DROP IT IN?

      Reply

      1. Well at least you got that far! I still cannot get through the balloon! Every time I just sink down and it releases me!!! 😤

      2. Did U try backing it up the thumbdrive on the computer then stand on the toilet seat then try to use it. After dropping it in the toilet flush the toilet. And if that fails look up cheat codes ^.^

    28. This was helpful, but my game keeps glitching at the balloon. It won’t let me go onto the picture frame. Help!

      Reply

      1. Not sure what you mean by that! I enjoy the game – yes, apparently enough to write about it – but I recognize that it is just a game, and not something my life depends on. Now if you mean this website, or the community surrounding it, then yes, I do take them somewhat seriously as they involve real people – people who can be helped. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun too! 🙂

    31. I cant flush the Thumb drive! it says that it isn’t a good place to use this here!!! help!

      slantedfish: Make sure you’ve done every step prior to that point!

      Reply

    32. I need help, I need to find the part where you see C.J. flash morse code telling you to flush it. What are the coordinates on the telescope.

      Reply

      1. The step-by-step instructions for that part in the guide are already quite clear. If you need more help, I recommend watching the video guide at the top of the page and visually seeing how it’s done.

    36. So is there like a specific spot that you are supposed to jump on the balloon because no matter how many times I restart the island or do something else then I do the balloon it won’t work.

      4. angry penguin-
        Look at the dates for the past comments. They’re 2011 dates, not 2015 dates.

      2. yep. seems cool, but really expensive. there should be like a membership trial run for free in the store.

    3. it is awesome but when you are supposed to flush the thumb drive in the toilet, (long story) you can’t. the person says, I don’t think we should put this here.” well shoeless tomato, (my name at poptropica.) you ARE supposed to put this here! I know you posted this in 2014, and it is 2016, I hope you read this.

  6. Great guide, Elmo! Remember when I told you to just relax and finish it when someone else wrote it on the PHC? Well, I was wrong. It’s too bad I wasn’t patient. I could have finished it this morning with your guide, but I have a thing where I MUST finish the island the day it comes out. 🙂

        slantedfish: Like all ads eventually do, it’s now retired.

      1. Popropicans, just turn the heat on, knock uver the trash, jump on the trash, jump on the bed, run then jump over the bed (make sure the fan is all the way down) onto the fan and click on the RED button. It should turn on. Hoped this helped! 😀 😉

    2. The fan part isn’t to far from the beginning. Just use an island restart! Plus, I do island restart and set up a timer to see if I can finish it REALLY fast! So click on the map, and click the button on the bottom left. It will ask you if you would like to restart. And next time, here’s a tip, BE CAREFUL. Haha. I hope this helped you popropicans!

      1. actualy if you do this it will work

        go to the temperature change thing on top of her computer and then turn it to the red,hot part…then go back to the room!!!!

    3. you have to turn the thermometer to red (its over the computer) then you push the trash can over so its on top of the heat vent and the trash will float up. then you jump on the trash to get to the bed

      hope i helped:)

      1. Go to the hair dryer and click on the blue and red buttons then jump onto the air currents. If you’re reading this two years after it was posted, I hope maybe we can friend each other? Please;0

  17. Blue Paw, to get the grape, you need to click on it. You can’t always depend on running into it to move it; you must click on it, then your Poptropican will pick it up. You can carry it around from there.

    2. you jump on the cat bowl when its filled and you jump on the table. then you click the grape. then go to the toaster and plug it in. then pick up the grape again and jump on the thing to push it down. wait and it will fling you up. then push the salt onto the spatula handle and jump onto the other side. it will fling you up and you have to put your mouse toward the refridgerator.it might take a few tries

  20. The correct password for the laptop is m4r13cur13. You forgot about the I. I used the guide (slightly, to feel a sense of accomplishment) for the password, and I thought I did something wrong on it. Fix it soon please, so that other kids won’t have the same problem I did using it.

  25. If anyone needs help with the “Escape The Evil Science Teacher” game, here’s a tip. When you’re running towards to shelf, don’t hide behind the grape soda. Hide behind something else. It’ll come in handy when rolling the globe.

    Reply

      1. When the round part of the globe falls down, you’ll have to push it. You’ll become slower and there’s climbing involved. So you’ll need a place to hide behind when Mr. Silva comes.

    1. you have to get the grape from near the fruit bowl (next to the note of clue witch is supposed to smell like lemon juice) then take the end of the black cord (behind the toaster) and plug it in. Then take the grape and then jump on top of the handle. This will heat the toaster and you will be flinged to a shelf. Go back down, pick up the grape and repeat what you did )jumping on top of the handle thingy) untill it flings you on top of the fridge =D

      Reply

    2. How to do the toaster part: Bring Whisker’s food bowl exactly to where the cat food will fall. Fill it all the way up, and bring it below the table and-hop! you’re on the table.(It started glitching when i was filling up the bowl, so be prepared) you’re on the table.

      THE TABLE:

      Get the piece of paper that you’re poptropican wanted on the table. It smells like lemon juice (the lemons are cut up) and get the grape. Then get off the table. Hope this last one helps, because i really wanted to help. So please don’t say i’m a wimp…

      THE TOASTER

      Hop to the toaster and let go of the grape. Then it will make the toaster thing go down…down… and-HOP! you go. But wait-i’m gonna help you ALL complete the island, so since you see more steps, do them. You’ll never know if you complete the island…

      THE SPATULA AND THE SALT

      Basically put the salt on the end of the spatula and as you jump on the front, the salt will jump-it’s basically like a seesaw. The salt lands and you jump-even further, since you’re small. That is how you get…

      THE REMOTE CONTROL

      Put the salt on the spatula. Hop on the the front. After the salt hops you hop. KNOW HOW FAR YOU GO: Hop from the spoon-holder(Above the spatula) and you hop not that far. Sorry. It’s happened with me too. But i hopped in 24 carrot island, reality TV island and Night Watch island(I liked the mall). Anyway, when you finally get on top of the fridge, just get it by clicking it. Yayy!

      “TRASHING” IT OUT!:

      Follow these steps carefully (careful, one false move and you’ll be squished!):
      Right at the start, move the can of tuna to the right.
      Jump down and move the next piece of cheese to the left, so the column does not collapse on you.
      Jump up through the top and keep going! Move the next can of milk to the right and follow it down.
      Next, go left and push the cheese left out of the way.
      Jump over to where the tuna can is, and push it right so it falls down. This gives you something to stand on.
      Stand on the tuna can and pull the next can of tuna out left. As you do so, run right so you don’t get squished!
      The column should collapse, allowing you to walk over the top of it to a new area.
      Go right, pull out the final can of tuna to the left, jump on it, and jump up to grab the Torn Page.

      Once again, on wrong move and you get squished! 🙂

      THE LIVING ROOM OF LIVING

      Head to the living room. use the Screwdriver while standing near the toy truck to unscrew the battery case. Take the Battery and stick that into the TV remote on the table just above the toy truck. Now go to the remote and press the big green button. It should turn the TV on.
      Go up to the top of the TV and collect static from the antennas. Once you’ve got static clung to your body, jump over to the green balloon, and the static will allow you to stick onto it as you float over to the pictures on the wall.

  27. How do i get to the other side of the fan when i flush the thumb drive? D: I cant pass the fan cuz its lowered

    Reply

    1. Go back to the computer room, and turn the thermostat all the way to the red part. Then go back to the bedroom, tip over the trash can and jump on the scraps of paper. They should rise up high enough for you to jump on the bed.

  30. yea this is one of my fave islands. p.s. the guide by the toilet talks about making a good password, that might help

  34. I’m on the bit where you hide from Mr. Silva. I know what to do, but I just can’t do it. 😦 It’s like it’s timed!

  35. how to flush the thumbdrive??? i use it and it says “i should back up this data before destroying it!” help!!!!!!

    Hijuyo: You need to ‘back up the data’ by going to the computer and entering the password (m4r13cur13), then use the thumb drive there to upload the contents to the laptop.

  36. I can only get to the telescope part, sadly. I click on it and it’s doing nothing..Good guide though..

  37. Hi, I just finished the island, beat Mr.Silva, and grew back to normal size. However, I didn’t get the medallion or the 100 credits. In addition, it doesn’t show the island as completed! What do I do?

    Reply

  38. when I tried plugging in the thumbdrive my character just jumped on the key boards. what shall I do? I tried and tried and tried but it just didn’t work.please help me!

    Hijuyo: You need to type in the password using your actual keyboard. [Spoiler alert: the password is m4r13cur13]

  40. I’m trying to flush the thumbdrive, but when I click “Use” to drop it in, I keep saying “I should probably back up data before destroying it!” HELP!!

  41. I’m TRYING to push the globe to the chair, but it’s moving SOOOO slow!! I got shrunk. WHA!! How will it go faster?

    Hijuyo: You don’t have to push it that far. As soon as you see it nearing the chair enough to be able help you jump to it, hop on the globe and then up the chair and move quickly.

  45. do you ever find out how the cat got out?

    Hijuyo: Nope.. but you can have your own theories about it. 😛

  48. I’m stuck. I flushed the thumb drive without reading the lemon juice letter and now I can’t get the message saying that Mr.Silva is the thief!

    Do I have to restart the island?

    Reply

  49. Hey, just a tip, when you’re trying to get on the fridge to get the car remote, it’s a LOT easier when you just go to the shelve above the toaster, and then if you move the salt shaker to the left of the spatula, then go on the right and jump, it will propel you to the top of the fridge. i just found this was a lot more efficient, so yeah.

  50. this is a cool cheat i just figured out! 😀 swim in the fishtank when the fish are eating and then turn the filter on. you’ll be walking on the bottom!!!

    Reply

  52. Yah, Llamalover is right. I think you’re SUPPOSED to use the spatula as a catapult. I did that cuz I used the guide on Super Thunders blog.

    But to be fair, BT forgot to mention that you ride on the trash. Wait you did too. Ah well, thats why I love ya. 😀

  53. on the computer the sticky note isn’t her password, its telling you that her password is her hero, Marie Curie which I found out by looking on the giant poster by knocking over the trash can and jumping on the trash. on the poster, there was a sticky note very much like the one on her computer that said “my hero” on it. the real password as we all know is m4r13cur13 which has her name in it! M. Cur. <:D

    Reply

      1. And the bathroom holds two more clues: a magazine article by the toilet that talks about making passwords be the names of people you admire, but changing some letters into numbers to make it harder to guess.
        And the other clue is a message hidden on the mirror which only appears if it gets fogged up( turn on hot water for steam, turn off the second switch so the fan doesn’t remove it), which says:
        A=4 E=3 I=1

  54. I’m disappointed that we never get to look at anything else through the telescope even if you can make out the obscured coordinates. Fun island, though.

  56. While you were hiding when Mr. Silva tries to shrink you, you hid behind the first pile of books, and it is titled “RUN”. Ironic?

  60. Lazy Fish is my best friend and she said that she didn’t know that her comment was posted. LOVE THE ISLAND!! I EVEN WROTE DOWN ALL THE CLUES FOR REAL!! PRICKLY DOLPHIN OUT!

  62. Why did my character say ‘I need to back up this data before destroying it!’ when I tried to flush the thumbdrive down? Now I’m stuck in the bathroom.

    Hijuyo: You need to get out of the bathroom and go over to the computer to upload the data from the thumb drive onto it. There is more information in the guide; please use it.

    1. I had the same problum. What you do is climb the anatana, then climb down it. Next you move jump up northwest with your arrow thingy, and then you are on! 🙂

  67. Its been a long time since I wrote on this guide full of comments. When I said Lazy Fish was my friend, I meant was I am her. Sorry about that. Any ways, I like Cj’s clothes. I can costumize her blue thingy. I completed the island in 45 seconds. I never loss on the escape from the shrink gun game on the island. This island is so easy!

    1. Go get the screwdriver, then use it on the truck. Get the battery. Next, jump on the table and click use on the battery and it will get inserted the romote. Then jump on the green button on the remote. Then the TV will turn on. Then jump to the top of the TV. Climb on the atenia or watever you spill it (the thing hat is sparkling). Jump on that and climb that up. Then climb down. Then jump onto the green balloon to the pictures. Hoped I helped!

      1. Go on top of the TV. Get yourself fuzzy. Then climb down. Then jump high and jump to the green balloon and then you land on a picture. Hoped I helped!

      2. Yeah! I did it because of Prikly Dolphin! Thank you! You see what I was doning was going to teh very top of the antana and trying to jump! Thank you so so so so much!

  76. I had the same problem too. What you do is you click the refresh button and click cancel. Then jump around so many times. Then click on the door. That is how you do that. Hoped I really helped!

    1. At the bottom of the fish tank. You have to feed the fish food to the fish by turning the tv on, climbing on the antenna to get yourself all static, jump on the green balloon from the edge of the tv, and ride the balloon to the picture frame and jump to the shelf with the fish food and push against the fish food a few times to feed the fish and go in the fish tank and get the key at the bottom of it

    1. Look, the staff of the PHB try their hardest to make these guides for you. If you aren’t happy, you don’t need to insult them. I love reading through these guides and I’ve been getting my Poptropica Walkthroughs from the PHB since the day Skullduggery Island came out for non-members. (Incidentally, the day I joined Poptropica.) So, as my teacher says: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” There’s no need to verbally assault Slanted Fish and the other people who make the PHB what it is.

    Slanted Fish: It IS in the guide. Ctrl+F and search the word “battery.” It’s in the toy truck on the living room floor. Use the screwdriver to unscrew the battery case.

  93. Oh my frickin gosh! Everytime I try to flush the thumb drive in the toilet, it keeps telling me, “I should back up this data before destroying it!”. What does that even mean?!

    1. It means you need to back up the data by going to CJ’s laptop and uploading the contents of the thumb drive. There is more information in the guide, please read it. 🙂
