Boredom Busters

There are so many fun things to do on Poptropica – you probably just haven’t tried them all yet! See how many items on this list of 101 boredom-busting Poptropica activities you can check off – great for when you’ve got nothing else to do while you await the next island’s release.

1. Jump on every windowsill at Main Street, Time Tangled Island. See how many you can jump on without falling off. (Note: If this is too challenging for you, try the windowsills on Poptropica Towers, Early Poptropica Island. It might be easier.)
2. Make the crab on Main Street, Time Tangled Island, burst by clicking on it over and over again, as fast as you can.
3. Keep trying to chat with the same player in a multiplayer room until they leave.
4. Use the randomizing glitch (Ctrl + Shift + R) to change your outfit. Remember, it’s random! (Note: Do not try this if you do not wish to lose your current outfit.)
5. Swing on the wires at Main Street, Time Tangled Island. When you get bored with that, try it with the clothes lines on Poptropica Towers, Early Poptropica Island.
6. Knock down all the flowerpots on the windowsills of Poptropica Towers, Early Poptropica Island. You can also go to Down Town, Super Power Island and knock down the statues on the gray-stoned skyscraper.
7. Get an extra Hot Dog for your inventory from the hot dog seller at City Park, Super Power Island after you complete the Super Power Island Quest.
8. Get an extra bottle of Carbonated Coconut Milk for your inventory from the guy outside of the Coconut Cafe at Main Street, Shark Tooth Island after you complete the Shark Tooth Island Quest.
9. Visit the bathrooms of both genders in Super Power’s City Park (boy/girl) by using a boy Poptropica account and a girl one. (Note: There is not much of a difference between the two rooms. Also, do not try this if you do not wish to lose your current outfit.)
10. Read all the comic strips in the Klassic Komix store on Main Street, Big Nate Island. (If you want to read more, there’s plenty on Comics.com under the ‘Big Nate’ section.)
11. Read the Roald Dahl book excerpts in the Wonka Factory Outlet on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island, Main Street. There’s even some unpublished content in there you can check out!
12. Just type/write a journal, and pretend that your character is an explorer that is searching for discoveries. Good islands to go to are Nabooti, Astro-Knights, and Shark Tooth. Have fun!
13. Go inside the Klassic Komix store on Main Street, Big Nate Island. Jump down the stairs and walk left, and you’ll see a chalkboard titled Oodles of Doodles. Hold down your mouse and trace anywhere on it, and have fun drawing a cool picture!
14. Go inside the School Picture Guy’s building on Main Street, Big Nate Island. Walk right and hop onto the stool. Take a picture of your character by posing your character there, then pressing the PrtSc button on the keyboard.

15. Play Mancala against the old man guarding the cave at Mountains of the Moon 1, Nabooti Island. See how many times you can win against him!

17. Make your Poptropican look like yourself in real life as much as possible. Especially try out different hairstyles, hair colors, skin colors, and glasses if you have any to see what fits you best.
18. Raise your battle ranking by playing games in multiplayer rooms. Win as many games as possible, so you can improve your 5-star rank even more. (Tip: You can see how many times you have won/lost a game by going to your games inventory.)
19. Fly off into space on your Astro-Knights Island rocket, go near the Jungle Planet (coordinates are 15, 15), and shoot some aliens! Use your Astro-Knights rocket to try to shoot at all the asteroids, sharks, aliens, and any other space obstacles out there! (Tip: Your rocket is on top of the Castle of Arturus.)
    
20. On Astro-Knights, visit Pewter Moon and re-design your spacecraft (rocket) until it looks just the way you like it!

22. Visit Big Zeke at the Safari, Nabooti Island and take some photos of different animals with your camera! Take a look at our Nabooti Guide for further information about obtaining a camera.
23. Complete all of the island quests, and if you’ve already done that, restart an island by going to your Map and replay it! (See our Island Help guides for tips and walkthroughs.)
24. Read The Mystical Weapons of Arturus, which is one of the books you should find in the Astro-Knights Island Castle Library. Because this book happens to be rather damaged, it will be more of a challenge to read!
