Hey there, Clawtropicans! It’s me, Purple Claw, and today, I’m going to review one of my favorite islands, Arabian Nights!
Recently, I made a review for another island, Time Tangled. If you missed that post, click here to read it! However, that post (and the one you’re reading right now) contains spoilers, so if you don’t wanna be spoiled, make sure to play this island after reading this post. Now, let’s get started!
THE BASICS
[Episode 1: How Bazaar] After the forty thieves ransack his city, a desperate sultan has one request: find the thieves’ lair, and bring back his most cherished possession!
[Episode 2: Lair of Thieves] In the den of the forty thieves, danger lurks around every corner. To outwit the most dangerous thieves in the desert, you’ll need a little help evening the odds — and you’ll find it in the form of an incredible magic power!
[Episode 3: Careful What You Wish For] The genie is out of the bottle, and now everyone wants a chance to make their wishes come true. But whether you’re a greedy merchant, a lovelorn palace guard, or a Sultan with a long-buried secret, heed this advice: be careful what you wish for!
Arabian Nights is Poptropica’s 41th island in chronological order. It’s an amazing episodic adventure, with super storylines and memorable characters. I wouldn’t quite say it’s educational, but it sure has great morals! I had an awesome time playing it, and if you haven’t played this island yet, I suggest you to do so, because I’m sure you’ll have lots and lots of fun! Anyway, this island was suggested by a Poptropica fan that won the Create Your Dream Island contest. Well, anyway, let’s pass on our next category (A.K.A. my favorite one)…
STORYLINE
Episode 1, How Bazaar: On this episode, your quest is to figure out where the forty thieves live. There are lots of trading and going back and forth on this episode, and that’s what actually ruined the fun experience for me. How Bazaar didn’t have a lot of potential, just like the other episodes did.
Episode 2, Lair of Thieves: That’s when the story starts getting better! On this terrific episode, you’ll have to bring back Sultan’s lamp from the thieves’ hideout. That isn’t easy, though! You’ll have to watch out for thieves that lie on each corner of the lair…
Episode 3, Careful What You Wish For: The third part on this island is placed in the same place as episode one, but it’s still pretty interesting!You’ll have to catch the genie to make Sultan’s family happy again. I like the fact that this episode has a great moral: that family love is incomparable! So adorable!

VISUALS/ART
What can I even say about this island? The backgrounds are absolutely magical! I adore the style, the animation and the colors! They’re so well combined together, it’s like a symphony (only that it isn’t music)! 😆
I can’t even decide which episode has a better art style! How Bazaar showcases the beauty of the sky, Lair of Thieves has awesome backgrounds and textures, and Careful What You With For has both!
SOUNDTRACK
Besides the awesome storyline and the terrific art, this island has also a few enchanting soundtracks that I, personally, could listen to them all day! Nice job, Jeff Heim! You’re an awesome musician! XD
http://static.poptropica.com/game/sound/music/arab1_main_theme.mp3See what I mean? Isn’t this a true masterpiece? By the way, to be honest with you, Arabian Nights has actually more soundtracks, but I only featured one (which happens to be my favorite) because I don’t wanna spoil everything, so, play this island as soon as possible!
RATING
This island has great storyline, beautiful art, and music that can leave let speechless. There’s no doubt I rate this island with a…
…5 OUT OF 5 GENIE LAMPS!
FINAL THOUGHTS
This Island is on the top on my favorite islands list, right after Astro-Knights, of course! Now, you know why I adore this island so much, and I hope you love it as much as I do! And if you don’t, that’s fine! I’m just sharing my silly opinion!
Hope you guys enjoyed reading this review! If you want to see more of these, please show support by liking and commenting on our post! We’d really appreciate that! 😀 See you guys on my next post, and ’til then, I’m out!

Hey everyone! We finally are getting a new island on Poptropica today and it will be Episode 2 of the Arabian Nights Island! If you remember, on the first episode, we had found out that thieves were stealing stuff from a small town including a precious lamp from the Sultan. We had tracked them down to the entrance of their lair which was in the pond. Now its time to go in there!
Arabian Nights – Lair of Thieves Cheats
When you first start the 2nd episode of this island, you will find yourself in the entrance of the lair. Make your way all the way down to rhe bottom and click through to the next section. Once you pass the as section, a short story will play where a guy puts a lamp on an alter and disappears. You then fall down and the thieves capture you!
You will now be in a small cell with a locked door. To get it, look at the week spot in the stone above you and jump up to hit it two times. You will now need to push your bed over so that you can use it to jump up there! Once you get here, you will see a ball attached to a line which is attached to the wall. Push this ball down to where you just jumped up from! That will break the other wall!
Now that you are free, you need to find a way out of here. Head right until you get to a new section entrance and enter it. You will now be in an area where you see a skull holding jewels. Head all the way right, staying on the bottom and jump on the chest you see in the image below.
When the thieve above you turns and walks left, use the bird statue to jump up. Go to the right and sitting on the ground you will find a white robe. Now, just to the right you will see a skeleton sitting on a ledge. Jump to him and click on him. You will now have quicksilver. Now drop down to the ground and head right into a new section.
Hint or Cheat: If you get spotted by a guard, you will need to start all over!
Once you get to the new section, head right and you will see a barrel of oil, jump on the big barrel next to it and jump up to the rope hanging from the ceiling. Now you will see a thieve standing there, as soon as he says, “these lamps never hold enough oil” and then he turn to walk to the left, jump down and head right. Here, you will find gun powder on the top platform and a crafting table to make magic sand on the main level.
Tip or Cheat: Remember where this is! We will need to come back here once we have everything to make our magic sand.

Now its time to put on the white rope you found. Once you do, you will instantly run past the guard behind you and grab something off of him. He catches you and takes you back to your cell. Now open your inventory and put on the black robe that is now in your possession! This will help us trick the guards.
From your cell, head right until you get to the first set of wood steps. Jump up one level and head left past a guard. Jump up another level and just to the right you will see something green on the floor. Pick it up! It’s Viper Skin!
Now use those same steps to jump up to the next platform and head right going into the next section (same one we have been in already with the skeleton holding diamonds).
How To Beat Poptropica 40 Thieves
From this section, you need to head up to where you fell down from. When you get to the section, head up until you get to the bag of Borax and click on it!
Now that we have all of the materials we need, head back to that crafting table we found earlier! We need to make some magic sand!
How to make magic sand in Arabian Nights Island – Lair of Thieves
To make magic sand all we need to do is follow the recipe.
- 2 parts gunpowder
- 3 parts quicksilver
- 1 part viper skin
- 2 parts borax
Please see the video if you are having trouble!
Poptropica 40 Thieves Episode 3
Once you have made the magic sand, the guard will catch you and throw is flaming lamp into the rook. Everything will blow up and your disguise will be gone!
Now, to get out of this room, go into your inventory and equip the magic sand. Throw one at the loose stone you see and it will turn into quick sand. Go down there! Now we need to get caught again and go back to our cell. We need to break out the guy that was next to us!
To do this, we need to use the magic sand to drop a stone ball on the guards head and knock him out. We can then take the key and let our new friend out. Please see the video on how to do this! Once he is out, he will be the one to help you find the lamp that belongs to the sultan!
In the next area over, throw more magic sand at the loose stone you see all of the coins on! This will get rid of the thief in this room.
Now we need to find the lamp! It is the generic looking one that has no match! Once you find it, our new friend will take a fake lamp and sacrifice himself so that we can escape! Now we need to outrun the thief. Please see the video for this part!
Poptropica 40 Thieves Episode 1
Now you will get caught once more and have to place the lamp upon the statue! That will be the end of Arabian Nights Island Episode 2 – Lair of Thieves!
It looks like Arabian Nights episode 3 will be us having to stop the forty thieves. I hoped my cheats walkthrough guide helped.
