Early Poptropica was the very first island to appear in Poptropica. On it, the islands oldest inhabitants ask you to help them locate three stolen items: a pig, a bucket, and a signal flag.
In front of the Pop Art Museum in Early Poptropica.
The Beginning
As soon as you jump down from your blimp, you will be on Main Street. Go inside the Pop Art Museum to see art from famous artists and speak to the artists themselves. There are two multi-player buildings here: the Arcade and the Soda Pop Shop.
Ready to start exploring? It’s fun to jump up the side of the water tower in the middle of Main Street. You’ll see a flag there, but you won’t be able to reach it. Look down on the street and you’ll see a manhole that is open. You can jump down now if you want, but you might want to wait until you get your Glow Stick. Getting back up isn’t so easy!
Old Poptropica
Go right on Main Street to get to Early Poptropica. The characters here look like pilgrims, and the buildings look like old cabins. Speak with each of the citizens here and you’ll soon learn that three important items have been stolen from them.
This is where you’ll be able to pick up a handy glow stick. You can find it here if you clim down inside the well and jump from platform to platform. Walk right up to the Glow Stick to put it in your inventory.
Return to the Main Street Area
OK, with glow stick in hand, let’s go check out that underground area beneath the open manhole. Jump down to the very bottom. You might get knocked over by a spider, but that’s okay. Keep falling all the way to the very bottom. You’ll land just fine. Then hop over the green spider and move to find the prized porker. Contact the pig to incorporate it to your items. You will be tempted to leave the manhole now, but there’s more to be found down there. Get past the green spider again and enter the tunnel on your left.
Your Glow Stick will light the way through the tunnel. When you see a rope, climb up. Keep climbing until you spot the Golden Egg. There are hints written on the walls to tell you if you’re going in the right direction. Walk up to the Golden Egg to put it in your backpack.
Once you get the Golden Egg, make your way to the top left and exit. You’ll arrive in the Poptropica Towers area.
Check Out Poptropica Towers
So now you have the Pig, but you still need the Bucket and the Flag. Because you’re at Poptropica Towers, you should start exploring the city street lined with tall buildings. Jump to the ledge of the first building you see and head for the roof! Travel from rooftop to rooftop, bouncing off clotheslines to help you. When you reach the blue building, climb to the very top, which looks like a rooftop restaurant. Then go up the vine.
Clouds and the Giant
Now you’re in the clouds. Move right until you see a huge pair of purple feet. Click on them to talk to the giant. He’ll accept your Golden Egg as payment to enter his vegetable garden. You’ll find the bucket among the enormous veggies.
Continuing in the Clouds
Keep moving right until you find the Aircraft Graveyard. You can’t use some of the aircraft here, but if you search rigorously, you’ll find a Jet Pack. This is simply what you need to get to high places–like the top of the Water Tower, where the Signal Flag is waiting for you.
Get back to Main Street any way you can. Then use the Jet Pack to fly to the top of the Water Tower. To fly, move your cursor until you see a green up-arrow. Click and hold to move up. Then move left or right. When you reach the top of the tower, click on the Flag to add it to your items.
Use the jet pack to fly to the top of the Poptropica water tower.
Return to Early Poptropica
Now you’ve got the Pig, the Bucket, and the Flag. Head back to Early Poptropica. (You can fly if you want to, but you’ll have to walk between Main Street and Early Poptropica.)
Talk to every one of the three pilgrims who were missing items. Once you do, the things are going to be taken from your Inventory and delivered to their original owners. Once you return the Signal Flag, a boat will get to the boat dock. Speak with the person on the boat, and he will thank you with an Early Poptropica Medallion. Congratulations!
