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 is the 39th island on Poptropica. It was the first island to be released in parts, or 'episodes'. It was the first island to be released in parts, or 'episodes'. The first episode was released on 20 March for members and April 17th for non-members. Anyway, push the next gray rock to the left until you can jump on it and jump up to the next platform. Click the tree to knock it down, creating a bridge. Cross it and now you'll see an orange rope swinging slightly off a branch. Jump on top of the branch to the right of the one where the rope is hanging. © 2007 - 2020 Sandbox Networks, Inc. All rights reserved.
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.
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.
- First, use the mittens to completely clear a patch of ground beneath the snow.
- Next, place the tinder (the squirrel’s nest) down.
- Then light the fire with the striker and tinder.
- Now “blow” on the fire with your mouse cursor (drag it up and down where it says to blow).
- Place the dry kindling on the fire.
- 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 Poptropica’s Survival Island episode 3, Distress Signal. You will find both a video walkthrough as well as a written one below to help you get through this episode of Survival Island! If you haven;’t already guessed it, in this episode we will be creating a distress signal to better our chances of getting rescued in this!
Survival Island Episode 3 Walkthrough – Distress Signal
Cheat or Hint: You will have to do some of these things in the exact order I do them. You will be fine if you just follow the guide!
When you first get to the island, you are going to run to the right past a big tree and a “keep out” sign. Just past this sign you will see a note above you on a platform. Without toughing any exposed wires, jump up to that platform and grab that note.
Just to the left of the sign we passed earlier, you should have seen a hard hat stuck in the trunk of a tree. You will need to climb to the top of that tree using the platforms to it’s right and jump down that trunk ultimately getting the hard hat! If you are confused, please see the video walkthrough.
Once you have the hard hat, you need to head to your right until you get to the exposed wire, drop down between the exposed wire and you will pick up some wire which will help us make a battery later.
Now head to your right into the next section. You will notice that there are parts to something all over the place, a car or plane maybe? Use the trees to jump up and you will see that a plane crashed into them. Go to the right side of the plane and drop down. In the plane you will find a manifest. After you grab the manifest, go to the very left side of the plane (inside still) and click on the radio.
Something will happen and the plane will tip down. You will fall out and now we need to find a way to get that radio! Head right into the next section.
Here you will see another part of the busted up plane. Jump on the right side of this and it will tip down and give you a platform to stand on over the freezing cold water. Use this platform to jump onto the island to your right. Here you should see a satchel or pack.
Now we need to cut down that tree in order to get the satchel. Head right into the next section and here we are going to find two things we need. A pocket knife and a nail. To get these items, head all the way to the right of this section and use the rock to jump up to the tree and get all the way to the top. You will find the nails in another section of the plane just to your left and you will need to jump even further left to drop down and grab the pocket knife. Please see the video walkthrough if you are confused!
Now that we have the pocket knife, run all the way back to the first piece of the plane we came across (where the radio is) and use the knife to cut the branch on the left so that the plane equals out again. When it is level again, run in there and grab the radio!
Hint or Cheats: Be careful! After you grab the radio, the plane will start to fall. Get out before it is too late.
Now that you have the radio, head back to the right and cut down the tree that the satchel is in. Click on the satchel and you will see that we now need to find a 100% copper penny. This will be used to get our radio to work. Keep clicking on the pennies and moving them until you find the one you need. This penny will look much older than the other ones.
After you have the penny, head right again and we will need to grab the lemons that are hanging from the tree. What we are going to do is use the tree to the right to get up to the branch the lemons are tied to. Now we need to cut this branch.
Once you have done this, jump on this branch and when it gets to the ground, go ahead and use your pocket knife to cut the rope. The lemons will come crashing down and break open. Pick up one of the lemons.
Cheat or Tip: If it does not let you pick up a lemon, leave this section and come back!
Survival Day 3 Poptropica 2
After we pick up a lemon, it is time to make the battery to power our radio. This is kind of hard to explain so here is a very short video on how to do that!
Basically you are going to put the penny and the nail into the lemon and then connect the black wire to the nail and the red wire to the penny!
Once you have created the radio you will notice a signal bar in the bottom left corner of your game. We need to head all the way left until this signal reaches 5 bars.
Hint or Tip: When you get to the big gap in the ground, go ahead and fall down and when you hit “try again” you will be on the other side!
When you get to the old radio tower, you will need to first let the stairs down using the lever on the first platform. Then climb all the way up!
There are a few things you need to do in order to get to the top but please see the video for that!
When you get to the top, go ahead and pull out your radio. You will call for help and someone will answer. You are saved! Or are you?
