Poptropica Survival 5 Guide

Survival Island is Poptropica’s 38th island. It is the first island to be released episodically, meaning that new chapters (episodes) will be released over time so that we won’t have to wait so long for a new Poptropica adventure. The first episode (Crash Landing) was released to members on March 20, 2014 and April 17, 2014 for everyone.

Survival Island is the first episodic island released by Poptropica. Instead of arriving all at once, it was released in five separate episodes. The story follows your sudden crash landing on a strange island, your immediate need to seek warmth, food and shelter, and then some unsettling discoveries about who lives on this island. Here are all the details, including the full walkthroughs and cheats for all five episodes of Survival Island in Poptropica.

Survival Island Episode 1 – Crash Landing

Night has fallen and the temperature is dropping. Alone in the forests of the Yukon, you must find a way to build a fire — but time is running out.

Episode 1 Walkthrough

You’ll begin the first episode of Survival Island with a short cinematic featuring your balloon crashing into the wilderness. Your goal for this episode is to collect all the necessary materials to start a fire and stay warm. The episode starts with you hanging helplessly from a tree. Fear not: just click on the screen below your avatar and you’ll drop harmlessly to the ground.

Walk over to the left and you’ll find a Survival Handbook on the ground. Pick it up to place it in your backpack — you’ll need it!

Now go to the right and you’ll see a gnarled tree with exposed roots above an ice pond. Jump up on the branches to get to the top, where you’ll find a missing page for the survival handbook.

Keep moving to the right until you find a rock pile. Up above this rock pile and to the left you’ll find a dead branch. Jump onto the dead branch to cause it to fall and break apart into a pile of logs, which you’ll need for your fire.

Once again, keep running to the right. You’ll encounter a squirrel running up a tree. You’ll need to follow him up to his squirrel hole, but the way to get there is a bit complicated, since you can’t climb a tree like a squirrel. Instead, you’re going to run all the way to the left, to the edge of this area. You’ll find a woodpecker here, and he’ll fly off to the right. Jump through the branches and follow the woodpecker to his next spot. He’ll fly off again. Keep following him until he reaches the tree with the squirrel inside the hole. The squirrel will cover his ears, totally annoyed by the noise, and leave. This will allow you to collect the squirrel’s nest, which you can use as tinder for your fire.

Drop down to the ground and go to the right, entering the next map section.

Keep moving to the right and you’ll come to a large tree with a hole in it. Pick up the pile of wet kindling under the tree.

There’s another handbook page in the tree right above you. Pick it up to place it inside your survival handbook.

Run to the right again and enter the next map section.

You’ll be running on top of a fallen tree. There’s a hole here that you’ll drop into so that you’re inside the dead and hollow tree trunk. There’s a small family of hibernating rodents here. Run a few steps to the left, and pick up the mittens that have been placed inside the tree. How did they get there?

Jump back up outside of the hollow log and proceed to your right. There’s a tree here with another page from the handbook in the branches. Pick up the page to add it to your collection.

Walk a few more steps here and you’ll find a huge boulder. You’re going to need to move this rock, but you can’t push it with just your hands. You need a little leverage–and now we’re off to find some!

Run all the way to the left, back to the starting area, and then go left once more to enter another area of the map. A few steps away, you’ll find the fourth page of the survival handbook. You will also see a bag hanging from the branches in the tree above you. To get this bag, you need to go to the left and jump up into the branches. Once you reach the bag, click on it, and an item will fall out of it and land on the ground. Jump down and use your mittens to clear the snow. You’ve found the striker, a tool you can use to spark your fire.

Keep moving to the left and you’ll soon come to a tree stump with an axe sticking out of it. Put on your mittens (you need to have them on) and click on the axe handle. It will come out of the stump and you will place it in your backpack. You’ll use the axe handle later to pry the large boulder loose.

Poptropica Survival 5 Guide 2

While you’re here, pick up the fifth and final page of the survival handbook.

Run all the way to the right until you get back to the large boulder. Equip the axe handle from your backpack and then click on the boulder twice. The first time, it will roll a little. Click on it a second time to push it even further. It will drop, and a piece will chip off. Pick up this piece, which you’ll use as flint for your fire.

The other thing that happens when you roll the boulder is that you’ve created a spot on the ground that is shielded from the wind. According to the survival guide, you need this to properly build a fire. Now you just have one problem: the only kindling you have is wet. That won’t do! We need to find some wood that is dry. Hey, how about looking inside the cave just to the right?

Once you get inside the cave, you’ll discover there’s a hibernating bear inside. If you wake him, he’ll chase you out. The trick is to pay attention to the bat who enters the cave with you. When he flies up, there’s a ledge there (you won’t be able to see it — just jump!) and you can use that to cross over the sleeping bear. Drop down on the other side and you’ll find some dry kindling. Go back over the bear and leave the cave.

Now you have everything you need to build a fire. Go to the sheltered spot to the left of the boulder and then click on the fire icon in the lower-left part of your screen. Follow the fire building steps that are outlined in your survival handbook.

  1. First, use the mittens to completely clear a patch of ground beneath the snow.
  2. Next, place the tinder (the squirrel’s nest) down.
  3. Then light the fire with the striker and tinder.
  4. Now “blow” on the fire with your mouse cursor (drag it up and down where it says to blow).
  5. Place the dry kindling on the fire.
  6. Finally, place the logs on the fire.

You’ve done it! You now have a warm fire in a sheltered spot and you’ve completed Episode 1 of Survival Island. Congratulations!

Episode 5 Walkthrough


Here is the cheats walkthrough guide for Survival Islands Episode 2, Hook, Line & Sinker. This is the 2nd episode of 5 in one of Poptropica’s biggest islands! I hope the video and written walkthroughs help you get through the island quickly!

Survival Island Cheats – Episode 2 – Hook, Line & Sinker

When you first start the island, you will be climbing down a rope. When you get down from this rope, your main goal is going to be finding something to eat! Catching a fish will satisfy your hunger!

Cheat or hint: Throughout this whole island, you can find more pages to your handbook. However, because you will know what to do already, you will not be needing the handbook for guidance!


First you are going to want to jump down onto the ground and just to your left you will see a rock on the ground. Flip it up and you will find worms!

Continue to the left and all the way to the end you will find a Fishing suit on a tree stump. Pick that up and put it on! Now just to the right from where you found the suit, you will see a log covering an opening in the ground. Lift that log up and jump down the opening.

Once you are on the bottom, go left into the next section. From here, continue left and jump on over to the beaver damn. Now it’s time for a little mini game. In this mini game, you will need to get the water level down in order to get the fishing hook! To view how this mini game is played and to ultimately get the fishing hook you need, please watch the video below!

Basically all you need to do is jump to the log that is above the hole the beavers are trying to fix!

Once you have the fishing hook, continue to your left and exit the beaver damn area and continue left into the next section of Survival Island Episode 2.

When you get to the next section over, the first tree on your left has a fishing pole on it just a few branches up! Use the branches to jump up and grab it.

Now continue left and on the ground you will soon see another rock. Get on the left side of this rock and push it down to the right until it fills the gap between the large rocks on the ground.

Cheat or Tip: You will need to push this rock 3 times to get it where it needs to be!

Now head left and you will soon come to a tree that you can see the beavers chewed on and it is leaning. Jump to the top of this tree (it’s short) and push it over so that it leans up to the cliff just above you where you will find a round boulder.

Now jump to the left side of this boulder and push it down the tree you just pushed over! The boulder will roll all the way to the ice and break it giving you open water!

Now continue left into the section section of the island. In this section, you are going to need to push over three trees that the beaver have chewed on! You will need to push all of these to your left.

Cheats or hints: On the last tree, you will need to climb the tree to its right in order to push it over!

When you push the last tree over, it will land in the water! Go ahead and jump on it and it will start to move to the left. Your goal is to get to the boot hanging from the tree just to your left. If the log stops before you get there, just jump up and down to your left. The log moves with the momentum from the direction you are jumping!

Poptropica Walkthrough Survival 5

When you get to the boot, jump up and grab it! You will get a shoelace.

Now continue left and just on the other side of the pond you are on, jump up the first tree you see. When you get to the top, jump over to the second tree. You will see something in this tree. Head into your inventory and use your fish hook. Now you will want to equip your fishing pole. Use your fishing pole to grab the other shoelace in this tree!

Hint or cheat: To use the fishing pole, press the space bar!

Now it is time to head all the way back to the right to where we pushed the boulder to break the ice! When you get here, pull out your inventory and use the second shoelace as well as the worms!

Now go ahead and drop your fishing line down into the water. You will catch a fish!

That will be it for Episode 2 of Poptropica’s Survival Island, Hook, Line, & Sinker! I hope this walkthrough guide helped you get through it!
