Monster Carnival is an Island that was supposed to be released in 2008, but strangely disappeared from the map. Left incomplete with all the Creators too busy with other projects to get it finished, it was finally completed and brought back 5 years later in February 2014. It was the sixth island made as a beta island and the fourth to be released with beta. It was the 38th island to be released on Poptropica.

History of the Island[edit | edit source]
Disappearance[edit | edit source]
The island was meant to be released in 2008, even pictured on the map with the words 'COMING SOON!' displayed beneath its icon. However, for previously unknown reasons, it was scrapped. Monster costumes were accidentally leaked into the Poptropica Store, but were quickly removed upon discovery.
A few years later, the Creators released a sneak peek of a concept art of what appeared to be a circus and stated that it was for an unfinished island which was presumed to be Monster Carnival Island. This was evidence that the release of Monster Carnival Island was cancelled because it was not completed.
Later still on February 3, 2014, Captain Crawfish officially announced on the Creator's Blog that Monster Carnival was never released because it was announced too early on without being finished back in 2008 and none of them were able to complete it, having other projects to work on. The name kept popping up in the discussions for new islands every year. Everyone agreed that it should be revived and sure enough, it was.
Beliefs of Return[edit | edit source]
Multiple times it had thought to be returning. Sneak peeks of monster-related islands were posted on the Daily Pop, but they turned out to be sneak peeks for Cryptids Island and Zomberry Island. When a sneak peek of what seemed to be a carnival appeared, some people assumed that it was for Monster Carnival Island. However, it was meant for the Carnival Costumes store on Night Watch Island. There are four monster costumes currently in the store that resemble the previously leaked costumes. On the Creator's blog, a post by Captain Crawfish revealed notes for a 'Haunted Amusement Park Island', supposedly an early name for Monster Carnival Island. At the end of the blog post, Captain Crawfish quotes: 'You never know, I guess.', hinting at its return. A piece of paper in the trash can of Mocktropica had the words 'Monster Carnival NOPE' on it.
Return of Monster Carnival Island[edit | edit source]
Thinknoodles Poptropica Mystery Train
On the Poptropica Creators' Blog, Captain Crawfish announced that Monster Carnival Island would return in February 2014, with all new features and members' only items soon to be released. The teaser trailer only revealed a picture of a mysterious ringmaster-like Poptropican with a black bird mask and red monster eyes.
Member Only Items [edit | edit source]
The Ringmaster costume comes in three different colors; red, white, and purple
Hypno Power
Raven Swarm
Chemical X (turns your Poptropican into a monster)
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The username MonsterCarnival2012 is very briefly seen in the Poptropica Friends trailer. If you enter the username MonsterCarnival2012 on the Avatar Studio, a Poptropican called Monster Carnival will appear. The account was probably created to hint towards the Island's revival and is most likely being used by one of the creators themselves.
- In the video, Poptropica Tour, posted by the creators, you can also see a username box, and in it was the username 'monstercarniv-' However, the typing was cut off abruptly.
- A blog post called The long, strange journey of Monster Carnival in the Creator's blog stated that the island wasn't finished and all the other Creators were 'too busy with other projects to give it the attention it needed'. http://blog.poptropica.com/2014/02/the-long-strange-journey-of-monster.html
- There are brief references made to The Hunchback of Notre Dame in the old newspapers found in Dr. Dan's apothecary. One article is written by a reporter credited as 'Esmeralda Modo'- an amalgamation of the names of the gypsy, Esmeralda, and the titular hunchback, Quasimodo. Another article mentions the 'Bird Boy' hiding from the townspeople by stowing away in a bell tower, reminiscent of the book's protagonist.
- Interestingly, both storylines to the book and Island carry overtones regarding society wrongfully mistreating people due to difference or prejudice.
- The Fly-Man in the Haunted Lab is a reference to The Fly, a horror movie and short story about a mad scientist who accidentally turns himself into a fly-human hybrid.
- A statue in the Haunted Lab is a statue of Ro-Man from the movie Robot Monster
- The character Edgar may have been named after Edgar Allen Poe, who is most famous for his poem The Raven. This is supported by the fact that the main antagonist of the island uses the raven's image as an emblem of sorts, even adapting 'Ringmaster Raven' as his stage name.
- The story takes place exactly 20 years after the carnival last visited the town.

Scroll down for the written version. I apologize, with all the power of apology in my heart, that there is no sound on this video. Believe me, I tried, but my computer wouldn't let me record the awesome soundtrack. No matter, it's less distracting now, and of course you can still play the game :)
Poptropica Cheats for Monster Carnival Island
The newspaper you can collect fromthe woman next to the blimp.
Looks like a fairly normal, well-adjusted town... but looks can be deceiving. Talking to the locals, you'll find that there's a grannd carnival that's returning to the town after a while. Judging from the economy -- an apothecary, a repair shop, and an ice cream place -- I think the carnival is good excitement. Anyway, go left and enter the Apothecary. Talk to the pharmacist and he'll describe his profession (using way too many words), then give you a formula for... salt. Oh well. Exit the store.
Run all the way right and talk to the boy (by the way, 'carnie' means 'someone who performs in a carnival'). Then follow him right. Talk to the guy by the duck game; you must find a hose now. Then continue and talk to the lady at the fried dough stand. Take the formula she gives you to the Apothecary. Go to the top left and click on the gray machine. You need some ingredients for your formula. Pick up the bottles of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide from the top left shelf, then click on the machine.

This part's fun. Use the gun to break the molecules apart (aim mouse + click to shoot), into little halves. Then, shoot the halves to push them together. When two halves hit each other, they'll stick if they're a similar color (so blue goes to blue and yellow to yellow). When all of them are done, you have salt! Run down and give it to the apothecary. Ignore the apothecary's scary warning about the carnival. Go back to the machine.
Pick up both the purple and blue bottles (fructose and glucose) from the shelves to the right and
click on the machine. Do the same thing as last time. This time purple-spiky-thing goes to purple-spiky-thing as well as blue to blue. You have sugar now!

Evening
Exit the store and go left, into Honest Gabe's Auto Repair. Ask him for a Radiator Hose, the go right and jump up to grab it off the shelf. Take it back to the guy at the duck stand. Then give the sugar to the woman at the fried dough stand. Run right, to the next area (Carnival Rides). The guy at the Ferris Wheel will enlist your help. Run all the way right, to the next area. Right below the giant head is the lever he wants! Grab it and go back then give it to him. Suddenly, it will become afternoon, and the creepy carnival begins...
Go to the left of the Carnival and click on the ducks. Soon you'll find that the game is impossible to win! Go right and talk to the crowd around the balloon pop stand. The darts are so blunt that they won't even pop a balloon! Jump your way up to the ledge and walk left, past the mirror maze, and talk to the people there. The weight guesser will be right again! We can't let these cheaters beat us!

Run all the way left to the Apothecary and click on the yellow box in front of the desk. You'll collect some osmium -- plenty heavy but pretty small. Then exit and go left, into the auto shop, and use the machine in the left to sharpen the dart. Run right and play the balloon game. As prize, you get.... drumroll... a sponsored plastic cup.
Return to the weight guesser. Your prize is... a super bouncy ball! Just what I always wanted. Run right and drop off the ledge. Go all the way right to Carnival Rides and continue until you reach the Test Your Weight game. USE the bouncy-ball to slip it under the pad, then ask to play the game. Your strength is off the charts!.... not really. Go left. Uh-oh, those kids are stuck on the Ferris wheel!

Go left and talk to the woman at the fried dough stand. She'll give you some DELICIOUS fry oil! Nice and greasy, the way I like it. Take it back to the Ferris wheel to grease it and the kids will be free. Next, they run into the Tunnel of Love. Follow them there... The woman will stop you and inform you about their 'strict hands-to-yourself' policy. Uh-huh... gotcha :). Run right and into the Haunted Mansion. Ignoring the completely normal flapping doors, climb the stairs to the top floor. Jump up the shelf and collect the black lightbulbs, then go grab yourself a nice bug mask. Exit, go left, and enter the Tunnel. That'll give them the scare of their lives. |
What's happening? All the carnies are going into the woods. Go all the way right, past the giant head. This part of the woods is confusing. You'll find something on the ground that doesn't belong there, like a balloon or French fries or a bottle. If it's on the left side, then go left; if the item is on the right side, go right. Finally you'll reach all of the carnies. Wait, why are their eyes rolling? That mysterious guy is talking some nonsense about becoming your true self... GAAAH! They're all transforming into.... MONSTERS!! GAAAAHAAHAAAHHAHAHHHH!!!! Go on, get out of there as fast as you can! (gasp, pant, wheeze)...
Night
Back at the carnival, the boy suggests finding Ringmaster Raven. Hmm.... anyway, follow him. To avoid the monster blocking the way, jump on top of the radioactive waste barrel next to the Haunted House and then jump over it. Jump over the next monster and go left. Enter the tent. The ringmaster suggests a formula that the Ferris wheel operator had. Go right, jump over the small monster again, and meet the boy at the Ferris wheel. Equip the hammer, then press SPACEBAR to knock the dude down and out cold.
Pick up the ticket, which references the duck game. Run left, jump over the monster, and go left. GAAH! What's happened to the fried dough lady?! Continue to the ducks and USE the black light. It'll equip with your flashlight, and this time the ducks are marked in colors. Hold the mouse down, then swipe over a green duck, then orange one, then red, then yellow. To avoid hitting the wrong ones, I wait until the one I want kind of swims away from the rest. When you've got them all, the formula will be C11H17N2NaO2S.

To the Apothecary! But no, it's closed. Enter the auto shop. Click the green down button on the right, then jump onto the right side lift. Click the red up button, then enter the vent. Run left along the translucent pipe, jump up the bend, then continue left. You're in the Apothecary, but can't get in! Click the vent to remove it and then click on the newspapers in turn to remove them. Looks like 'Bird Boy' is someone important to the story...
Climb to the top left of the building and jump off right. Grab the yellow bromopentane, red sodium sulfidosodium, and blue ethylmalonic ester. Do the same thing as before for these molecules. Now you have sodium thiopental, also known as 'truth serum'.

Exit and run back to the circus tent. Oh no... Edgar is one of them! Ringmaster Raven is actually Bird Boy! To make Edgar remember you, USE the fried dough. Now you're free. Raven, driven mad at being driven out of the town, has turned to using sodium thiopental to turn people into monsters like him and keep them as pets! Follow him into the Mirror Maze.
He'll be hiding behind a mirror in each of the little mirror clusters. Equip the hammer and walk in front of the mirror where you saw him last. Press the SPACEBAR to knock it out and Raven will go to a different hiding place. This will happen three more times. Since the maze is so... well... confusing, I recommend going down to the bottom floor each time after he moves, then jumping up to where he is now.

The fourth time, you'll enter the mirror and use the sodium thiopental on him. You've stopped the avian menace! Let's see... first he's Bird Boy... then Ringmaster Raven... then... Circus Chicken!
The mayor and his wife seem more interested in the carnival than the monstrous disaster, but hopefully they've learned their lesson. The circus has packed up and zoomed away, the medallion has been won... but if you're a Member, then the show's not over yet.

Members-only Apothecary Rescue Quest
Dr. Dan, the apothecary, is missing! Run right and enter the woods. He will act strange and run off; follow him! Jump onto the roller-coaster track and walk right. Jump up and left, to the next track. Go left, jump up to the sign, and jump right, to the yellow flag. Jump up to the next yellow flag, then go right and drop down. Oh great, Dan is a monster... but he has a formula for the cure! This one has strange ingredients, though.

Wild Mushroom ExtractJump to the branch and jump up, to the top of the tree. Jump off to the right and fall to the ground. Go left and click on the mushrooms. That's one down, two to go. | Pickle JuiceGo all the way left to the auto shop and jump to the leftmost shelf. There's a convenient jar of pickes... | Cola Soft DrinkTo the Apothecary! Go left, click on a soda. |
Go to the molecule machine and do the same thing to create Chemical X. Return to the woods and give it to Dr. Dan. Darn that diet soda, he's become even worse! But then the townspeople will deliver a sappy inspirational talk and Dr. Dan will be free. After that, you can use Chemical X to become a monster anytime you want (it wears off when you leave the room). Happy common-room-raiding!
