I played and ranked EVERY Poptropica Island so you don’t have to… 

Looking for Legendary Swords or Haunted House? They’re not actually islands, I made a whole video about these Miniquests! Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fp_i_-W4RZQ.html

so so good. i remember ghost story island scared me so bad because-in this SOUNDLESS GAME-suddenly i’m looking through a telescope and i hear a WOMANS VOICE COME THROUGH MY SPEAKERS. needless to say child me was so freaked out. 10/10 island.

mythology island is always my favorite, when you actually care about greek mythology and can notice the references, same with the astro knights and the arthurian references... poptropica is super fun with reinventing existing stories also i genuinely fucking hate shrink ray island and i remember how much i hated having to try to escape and i spent several hours on it by just going to the shop and procrastinating😭

I remember being absolutely mindblown when Counterfeit Island made you go to a different island to talk to someone, that seemed completely out of the box for their independent islands design.

This is insane. Poptropica was definitely a STAPLE in the computer lab. I think the last island that I remember playing was the superhero island? I feel like I “aged out” of the love of it. My favorite island was the super spy one too!

I remember never progressing past Super Power Island because once my character could fly I thought what more could I want, and starting the next island without the power made me upset so I’d never leave.

Seeing the Jersey Devil jumpscare for the first time was SO SCARY as a kid I’m still traumatized

Fun fact: Arabian Knights was actually a fan-made Poptropica island! People were able to submit their designs and ideas to Poptropica using these “Create Your Own Island” books!

The Cryptid Island terrified me as a kid because of the Jersey Devil. When it appeared, I screamed and force quit the game. I was absolutely convinced that the Jersey Devil was going to be outside my bedroom window despite me living in Arizona. I was traumatized!

This days Poptropica greatest failure is being a phone app instead full blown steam game where each island is a playable full on game (and you can definitely remove some of the islands and make a big islands. That way the money will be more investment to the game

The Marie Curie puzzle on shrink ray island can be found by turning on the hot water in the bathroom; the code’s written on the steamed mirror. Years later I still haven’t forgotten the absurd difficulty of that island..

Interesting to note about poptropolis games: it was a special island in that it wasn't always available to play. It would "rise from the sea" for a short amount of time before "returning to the depths" I think it was supposed to be a once a year thing. but yeah

I believe survival island is based on the story "The Most Dangerous Game". I think its an awesome concept for a poptropica island and im pleasantly suprised they went for it

The Cryptids Island was my favorite. As someone who’s into mythical creatures, that one was right up my alley back in the day.

I was really upset about the old islands not being playable anymore.. they were truly unmatched. Maybe one day I will download flashpoint and relive my childhood once more. I remember being really bad at Spy island because I never wanted to look up guides LOL. At the time, some of the islands were member locked as well, so I didn't get to fully experience some islands like Wimpy Kid. I think one of the moments I remember most was being mind blown at Fiona's song in Ghost Story Island, because of both the sound and getting to play the violin. To this day I still remember the melody😹This video deserves more attention, I'm glad you made it!

Poptropica will always have a special place in my heart. I still occasionally use the account I created when I was 7 years old. I especially remember how nearly all of the islands were too difficult for me to understand so I’d literally just watch Thinknoodles walkthroughs for every single island 😭😂

poptropica improved my english so much as a non-fluent child. i distinctly remember struggling with islands that were more text heavy, up until i became more proficient and as a result, much more immersed. this made every replay doubly satisfying. i'm so happy i got to experience it and will always remember it fondly. thanks for this video 💌

time tangled was my absolute favorite. was shocked by how many others i remembered playing once they were described

On the vampire island, when the count is defeated and dies, seeing how his ashes form his image next to his long lost wife on the portrait, really had 9 year old me crying

Skullduggery Island was one where younger me was so proud of defeating the final boss using only the second best ship rather than the full best ship. It just felt so cool that the boss wasn't restricted to having the best gear, and it allowed you to challenge yourself by being more tiny.

Pop tropical was such a huge part of my childhood. I remember playing counterfeit island for the first time with my sister on our 13th birthday. It introduced her to art history and restoration. Now she has a bachelors in art history and is going to graduate school this summer for archival studies. Literally introduced her to her dream job!

Poptropica is sooooo nostalgic to me. I remember constantly losing my account info as a kid and creating a new character most times I logged in lol. But that just made me redo some of the classic islands (like the first 15 ish) so many times. Counterfeit was always my fave too! Something about the story was so fun for me.

I remember reading the short story Survival island is based off of in high school, and I couldn’t stop laughing because I couldn’t imagine the characters being anything other than little poptropica figures. That island gets extra points in my book just because of that 😂

I enjoyed poptropica so much as a kid. I assume the reason why the islands got easier as they went along was to make it more accessible to children? Because I remember not being able to finish some islands without the help of ThinkNoodles in elementary school.. still, I wish they had stuck with their original complexity, especially since their audience was aging anyway. My favorite islands growing up were Cryptids & Ghost Story. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, it was all super nostalgic for me :)

Justice for shrink ray island, definitely started up the nostalgia

Even though I LOVED the stories to the other islands, I replayed Reality TV island so much because I just had so much fun with the mini games, and being able to see some of the iconic characters from each other island battle with me (and honestly I’d just vote off my least favorite ones and be sad when my favorites left lol) thanks for this amazing nostalgic video I’m definitely going back to play these. :)

As a reassurance, I watched the whole thing. This was my childhood and it was really cool that you took the effort to document it all. Thanks man.

I actually had to read a short story for school called “The Most Dangerous Game”. I’m like 90% sure that it inspired Survival Island in some way. On a more interesting note, I remember finding out that you could go under the wolf in Vampire’s Curse and didn’t have to cut the bridge.

Poptropica is, by far, my FAVORITE online flash game. Logging on and seeing a newly released island, spending hours playing through that and old islands, seeing teasers for new islands, watching Thinknoodles tutorial videos cuz little me was dumb, endlessly customizing my character (Strange Boa!), unlocking secrets, playing games with strangers in the hub areas,,, it's all just so many fond memories. There was just so much love, care, and creativity that went into a fundamentally free online game that I think was/is very rare. Even the lackluster islands had so much effort put into graphics and design. Cryptid, Greek Mythology, and Vampire Island was my SHIT!! My ONLY qualm with the game was the awful chat system- which I get was to protect children playing the game-- but I hated it😂

Poptropica still has a special place in my heart - some of my favorites are Spy Island, Cryptid Island, Nabooti, 24 Carrot, Red Dragon Island and (of course) Astro Knights. Mythology, Counterfeit, Wild West, Skullduggery, Mystery Train, and Shrink Ray, are iconic too!

Skullduggery was ROBBED, it was always my favorite! Fantastic video, hit me right in the childhood!

Ahhh you forgot Haunted House mini island. It was an item available in the store and you go to the island through the island. It was super short (comparable to the early islands) but I remember it being one of my faves

My most profound memory of poptropica is the cryptid map and when you go to find the Jersey Devil. As a kid, it literally scared me so bad I quit the game and never went back to that island until I was older.

Time tangled Island

i havent played poptropica recently, but i remember it being my favorite computer game back in the late 2000s- early 2010s. im dissapointed to see thats its gone a bit downhill but im not surprised at the changes made in hopes of staying relevant. im rlly glad i found this video either way :)

It’s so crazy to see how many people enjoyed this game back in the day. It was such an amazing experience we didn’t even realize we were all sharing. I’m so glad you’re giving it the recognition it deserves. I’d love to see you talk about some of the extra islands(?) like Legendary Swords, that was always my favorite as a kid🙏

Cryptids, Wild West, and Twisted Thicket are such fond memories, easily my FAVORITE three. They were just so fun and involved.

Spy was my first island i played like in 2008. I remember getting my ass whooped at the docks before i discovered the camouflage suit. Good times.

This video deserves so many more views 😭Poptropica was literally my whole childhood and it sucks to see how far it’s fallen 😔

I was OBSESSED with poptropica as a kid. Sad it went downhill - but we can still always treasure the icons forever

I remember sitting in the computer room in middle school just playing Mythology, Spy, Skullduggery, Superpower, Time Tangled, and so many more of the earlier islands. I spent hours just playing this game. Thank you for making this video, now I'm gonna go play a computer game that I miss so much.

this video felt like it was 15 minutes long i literally loved watching it & waiting for the next island to be talked abt!!! 24 carrots, mythology, astro knights, & counterfeit island were defs my favs!! (also there was a little sword game you could buy in the shop,, i really liked that one as well!)

I honestly really enjoyed Ghost Story Island, it was one of the few island’s I completed almost entirely by myself. Way back when I would always go to the island play the violin when I started up the game. Personally I’d say it deserves at least a mid B. I’d probably put it a higher on my own list tho.

Wow nostalgia overload… I was a beta tester for this game many years ago, it only had 3 islands to start with and I remember all the other kids at my school trying to figure certain stuff out like how to knock the shark out or the order you’d need to time travel on that one island. I remember keeping up with it for a year or two but I think the last dialed I recall releasing and playing was the secret agents one.

The moment I saw the words "Astro Knights", a tidal wave of nostaglia and joy emerged in my mind. It's been years since I played that island and watching your summary of it felt as if I was teleported back in time to my own playthrough, like old memories being unlocked. A well-deserved S. I appreciate the trip down memory lane you crafted in this spectacularly dedicated vid, I'm surprised to hear the game is still being updated with new content

This is so Nostalgic, I remember I would always play the wimpy kid boardwalk island and i just couldn’t figure out how to solve it for the life of me lol

I was actually really into Greek mythology, yet was disappointed by the island compared to genres I wasn't as immediately into. I do think often fans of a genre will be much more critical vs others being pleasantly surprised

Justice for Ghost Story Island. I would play the violin over and over again because I love the song so much, parts of the twist definitely shocked me to my core, and the setting itself is so beautiful. Poptropolis Games is another favorite of mine. I actually loved the challenges and the setting is super cool. The lack of story never bothered me, it was just a fun setting with a clear goal and it's one I would play if I just wanted to play minigames and not worry about running back and forth.

I kept on being like, “oh I guess that’s when I stopped playing” but then recognized islands way further in then I expected. I started playing this game back when there was only three islands and boy howdey six year old me could barely beat early poptropica. I think that’s why reality TV island is my favorite lol, it was the first REAL island I beat after dozens I could barely get anywhere in (helped that I was several years older at that point) great video!

Survival island’s story reminds me of a story I read where this guy crashes a ship and finds a hunter who’s tired of hunting for animals and finds more entertainment for hunting people. I wonder if that’s the inspiration for that game or just a coincidence honestly wish I could remember the name of the story. also great video I’m glad people are talking about the poptropica again I still occasionally log into my old account from when I was a kid so this was nice to see

Big nate was such a wild moment to me man, I was so confused. It was like if they made a Calvin and hobbies island which would already be a weird turn, except instead of a universally known comic ip it was...Big nate?? Who

I agree with you that it would've been really cool if they made more islands that crossed over with older islands. They could've made a cool, interconnected world with recurring characters and everything. I could even see it almost as a live service game (despite how many failures plague that idea), where each update changes and adds to previous worlds. Like, you defeat a villain on one island, and then later they might be doing something evil on another island you already previously saved, giving them an opportunity to expand on mechanics and characters.

Despite having no reason to do so, Vampire's curse island made such A HUGE impact on me. I was obsessed with the island and it basically kickstarted a whole stack of fan comics, fan fictions, and my whole art career (I really can thank it for literally getting me to where I am). The weirdest part is that just as I thought earlier this month that maybe I'm finally over with this island, I revisited poptropica and got obsessed again. I can't believe I am still not over Count Bram....Thank you for this video it's literally so nostalgic to revisit. Though the title tbh should be "I played and ranked EVERY Poptropica Island because you can't", because i would totally play this game all over again if I could :')

I got excited when I saw Wild Safari Island, because Reality TV Island is my favourite island. Oh how dissappointed I was. It didn't help that you used to be able to go to a lot more places on the islands, but when they were trying to salvage Poptropica to outlive flash, any old islands that remained became a lot smaller. So I used to have a big and fun Reality TV Island, only to get the far smaller and boring Wild Safari Island.

Escape from pelican rock is my favorite island, so I’m a tad bit upset with where it ended up. Survival island, though, is right where it belongs. I miss proptropica and this video made me really happy. Needless to say, I’m subscribed.

This is a trip down memory lane. I remember being scared as hell of Cryptid Island as a kid. Especially the Jersey Devil part.

I LOVED shrink ray island as a kid. Everytime I see Morse code I think of this island.

This was super enjoyable to watch! I remember loving cryptid island, mythology island, and shrink Ray island growing up

I loved 24 carrot island because you can make a drink in the diner that let you change your hair color LOL

i just randomly stumbled upon this video and my love for poptropica had been reignited!! thank u for bringing me back to the simpler times where my biggest concern was beating every level to get a poptropica membership😭😭

I only ever played Poptropica for about an hour and a half on a cousin's computer, but I will never forget the awe and enjoyment I had. I came to this video looking to see if I could bring back any memories, only to find that the spacefaring adventure I had had was only a tiny fraction of the game. That's right, my intro to the game was Astro Knights, and I thought that was the whole game.

Nostalgia has definitely clouded my vision, because Twisted Thicket has always been my favorite... but I haven't played in FOREVER! So it being in D tier definitely shocked me for realsies

This game is so nostalgic to me, I love seeing it through someone else’s eyes! My favorite was mystery train, I’m inspired to replay it!

Skullduggery was my favorite. I didn’t upgrade from the raft until the story required me to. I liked wandering around and luring other ships and monsters into rocks. Then I upgraded to the max and then proceeded to run into everything cause the increased speed messed with my control.

You know what's crazy? I remember exactly when I started playing Poptropica because Red Dragon had just come out and I literally cried because those kids were stuck in Japan and I couldn't save them because I wasn't a member lmaooooo also, the vibes of cryptids, counterfeit and ghost story island are UNMATCHED. my favourite islands then and now!!!

I loved poptropica so much as a kid and remembered using thinknoodles walkthroughs for spy island lol. survival island and time tangled island were my favorites and i really liked escape from pelican rock too! i must’ve beat pelican rock like 3 times during computer class and i would be the person showing my friends how to beat it because i was like a poptropica master. good times, i miss the good old days of flash and good poptropica islands

Cryptids, Ghost Story, Vampire’s Curse, and Monster Carnival Island will always be S-Tiers to me :D (this isn’t to say that I don’t love tons of other islands from Poptropica - the islands mentioned are just my favorites!) also: I’m glad that I’m not the only one who thought the Sphinx from Mythology Island was hot :D

the jersey devil design gave me nightmares as a kid; I actually thought I'd see it now and realize how silly I was as a kid but *NOPE* that thing is still hella uncomfortable to look at good job to the artist who made it (It looks really cool!!!!). Some of the freakiest moments in these games was when they were clearly experimenting with using sound; the constant silence being broken by the LOUD crashes or the tiny whispers was so jarring I would flip my bean every time

Omg that magic tree house water dragon fight was impossible! One of the few I couldn’t beat as a kid. Loving this nostalgia trip!

I remember I used to love the vampire island as a kid!! I do remember it being tedious, it was mostly the 〜vibes〜 that made it cool. also loved Pelican Rock. great video!!! 💚

Honestly shocked this doesn't have more views... great video and I loved getting to relive the old islands watching you play!

I used to love Poptropica so much!! In elementary, I would go to school early every day just to play it in the computer lab. At the time, I didn't know you could create your own account and save your progress, so I just went as a guest and replayed 24 Carrot a MILLION TIMES until I could practically do it with my eyes closed. I was never able to get all of the way through because I had no idea you could save your progress!! To this day, I still don't need to use the map at all and I have every password memorized. Thanks for putting this together. I watched the whole thing.

oh my god the wave of nostalgia that hit me as soon as i saw the footage was unbelievable. so many hours of my childhood were sunken into this game. hm. might download flashpoint and start a new playthrough at this point.

I was always a fan of mythology, hint my pfp. The mythology island was always up my ally. I distinctly remember always messing up on the flute part even though it seems to east now haha.

I literally wish I wasn’t such a baby about the dark & slightly scary things!! Now that I’m older I’m wishing I was braver to actually do the islands now :(

thank you so much for making this video!! poptropica was such an important part of my childhood and i loved hearing what you had to say about each island

Despite my lack of knowledge in English when I was little, I still manage to enjoy playing Poptropica and even accomplish some missions like the ones from Super Heroes, Time Tangled and Early Poptropica and even half of the iconic Astro Knights. I remember I would read blogs that showed up how to solve the different missions because I didn't have no idea about what they were saying in the dialogues🤣

I loved this whole video, thank you for making it! Obviously there are a couple rankings I like more than you did, and a couple I like less, but I’m just glad to see such a cool and well thought out video on poptropica after the game has existed for so long. I feel the sudden need to go download and play all the old islands now.

This brought back SO many childhood memories!! You did an outstanding job with this video, and all your hard work is much appreciated!! 👏😁

i seriously love the passion that shows through in this video! i really appreciate it and it makes the video super nostalgic and comforting to watch. thank you so much! ❤❤❤

The Red Dragon island was my favorite!! I also loved the concept of Virus Hunter island but found it difficult when I was younger. I also remember Twisted Thicket being difficult because I never figured out how to get through the forest without the sprites carrying me away.

Thank you for this video! Poptropica was my LIFE as a kid, and I'm so happy to see other people still thinking about it too! I really enjoyed revisiting all the old islands with you (Even if our opinions on some of them differ lol)

Virus Hunter, Mocktropica, and Zomberry were some of my favorites from when I played! And I played since 2010 up to the release of Monkey Wrench. Loading times (or at least going back and forth frequently) were a bit of an issue, but I really don't remember them being that long as they seemed to have been for you. Different strokes for different folks tho, I guess! Happy to see you Putin the work and review them regardless 💪🏾

Oh, man. Skullduggery island was my SHIT. I used to spend hours just sailing around the islands, blasting monsters and enemy ships with cannonballs. I really felt like a true sailor lol. I miss it so much😢

This video was phenomenal and so thorough! You managed to be unbiased with your rankings and I agree with you pretty whole heartedly on them. I'm glad to see someone who still loves the game and gets excited about it all these years later. God bless you man!

My life changed the day the Chupacabra audio jumpscared me on Cryptid Island, I haven’t felt safe ever since

Also the centipede worm thing in the temple on Shark Island was a pain to get past.

Thank you for making this!! For the last couple years I have thought there wouldn't be a way to return to the old islands, it's awesome to see they still hold up :)

Man. This really took me back further than I thought it ever would. I'm so glad it's such a high quality video

Thank you for making this video, I really enjoyed it. Had this on while I was feeling a bit glum and it was extremely nostalgic, you're very entertaining to watch!

what an amazing time back in those days, a bunch of the older islands I loved due to nostalgia and how open ended they seemed (at least in comparison to some of the more recent ones) sure some of the stories were simple but it was still fun to play, there might have been no sound but by that point we were so used to it that when sound came into the game we didn't care all that much because it doesn't add much and the gameplay and story made up for the lack of sound. I was nearly heartbroken when I found out that they removed most of the islands, the series was reduced to a mobile game basically and flash was unsupported after 2021. I made sure to get flashpoint at least so I can experience most of the islands again, sure there are some bugs but I can live with that in comparison to the grandeur of the older poptropica islands. some of my favorite islands would consist of: astro knights island, skullduggery island, spy island, counterfeit island, cryptids island, and survival island. all of which have something special that I love. astro knights island: this one is obvious, the setting, the lore, the gameplay, the adventure, it has it all in one island and nothing felt lacking. skullduggery island: while the beginning is basic and the going back and forth part can annoy some people, I love the different themes and settings of all of the islands in this island. even though there is hardly a story on this island, it's quite open ended and you can earn doubloons and supplies in more ways than one by killing pirates and sea monsters or by trading back and forth. you always felt excited whenever you bought a new ship and are seeing it for the first time and you can also hire crew members which are entirely optional but if you explore and decide to get them then you get buffs to your ship. I think if the island was expanded upon more, add some more stuff to do and whatnot, it could really be its own game. spy island: decoding messages, using cool gadgets, saving poptropica from going bald, only the 6th island and it has a lot of stuff in it. counterfeit island: the setting, the story, stopping an art thief by figuring out clues and not to mention travelling to a different island as a part of this island. cryptids island: the idea its self is amazing, plenty of mystery and exploration to be had in this island all for you to figure out. plenty of places to go, plenty of cryptids to see, and you can do a lot on this island. survival island: an actual survival situation going through various phases of the journey makes you feel as if you were there and is actually challenging at times. probably the only episodic island that does it perfectly (but arabian nights isn't bad) then again, my opinions aren't facts and you may have a completely different list than I do but I am a big setting and theme person and if a theme/setting is good then I will like it naturally unless the gameplay or story wasn't to my liking. in conclusion, I have heavy nostalgia for this game as a whole (except for the newer islands either because I haven't played them or not enough time has passed for me to have nostalgia) and I am glad somebody went out of their way to rank all of the islands like you did. a lot to read I know but I was never good at explaining things in a single sentence so instead you get this.

I remember when I first played Counterfeit Island as a kid and made the balloon boy fly away, I was freaking out because I thought the police officers on the island were going to arrest me. I quit immediately and didn't revisit it for a while lol.

Love this video. I still love Poptropica and it’ll always have a special place in my heart. I also agree with your rankings, especially your feelings on Astro knights and counterfeit island. I would love if there was a sort of poptropica renaissance, where new islands were created that got back to the magic of the originals. The mysteries and storytelling were really sophisticated on lots of the classics

Amazing video!! Poptropica will always hold a special place in my heart since me and my friends played it all the time during school (I think I stopped playing around survival island). This video made me remember so many things about the game (thinknoodles tutorials included), and nabooti island is even the reason why I bought a physical game of mancala! Still play it to this day. My favorites were definitely shrink ray, time tangled, mystery train, and yes- twisted thicket. kid me just liked getting the powers of all the monsters!

this is genuinely suchh a phenomenal video. poptropica was a significant part of my childhood and going through every island together with you brought back so much nostalgia. thank you for this.

This video unlocked some childhood memories, I was obsessed with Poptropica! The one I vividly remember was Spy Island, remember feeling like a real spy cracking the codes and it was a ton of fun! I really didn't even realize this video was over an hour long because I was so much fun to watch (this is coming from someone with an extreme short attention span LMAO) tysm for making this :))

Damn what a ride. I love remembering the old islands. It’s so interesting to hear about the islands I never played but are gone now and what the new pop tropic is like.

It's 2023 and I feel so old watching you play through Poptropica and seeing it change, the last time I saw and played Poptropica was the Survival and Virus Hunter Islands (or just the ones I remember the most) Funny enough, I never saw the rest of the Survival one until I watched your vid, because 3rd one and onwards was locked (I was still young, didn't try to think of a way to get past that very much and I definitely lost my first account LOL)

This video is like nostalgia central! I used to play Poptropica all the time when I was younger, and I still do sometimes now. I have flashpoint downloaded on my computer so I can play the old islands. Thank you for making this video, I love it ❤️👍

This video really unlocked some old memories. Very fun to see some of those older islands have some deep-seated, long-forgotten memories resurface, and it's also interesting to see the direction of the newer islands that I never checked out. So thanks for putting in the work. 51 islands is a lot of islands to play and review!
