—Female lab worker

Time Tangled Island is the 3rd island on Poptropica. It was converted to Beta on November 11, 2013.

Synopsis[]

A malfunctioning time machine has messed up history! It's your job to go back in time to set things right in this online virtual world. Because if you don't, who knows what the future will hold?

Walkthrough[]

Main Street[]

Arrive at Main Street on Time Tangled Island. Go to the right and talk to the lady scientist who appears to be crying. She will tell you to enter Pendulum's lab. Go into Pendulum's lab and from there, go down and push the plug together. Then jump up and enter the time machine.

Possible Future[]

You will be in Possible Future​, a dystopian future filled with smog and ruined buildings everywhere. Go to the left and meet your future self. Your future self will be 50 years older than you are. Talk to him/her and he/she will give you a Time Device to travel back in time in order to restore history. Click on the icon on the lower left of your screen to use the Time Device.

Ancient Greece[]

First go here. They need a gold vase, they have a Phonograph. Give the gold vase to the Greek guards, then jump on the roof of the first building you see and you'll find the Phonograph.

The Vikings Period[]

They need an amulet, they have a gold vase. Go to the Vikings period. First, give the amulet from The Great Wall of China to the Viking. Then go up to the sealed cave and click on it to use the Gunpowder and blow up the rocks so you can enter. The next part is a timed maze game. You have to navigate the cave and find the vase before your torch burns out. Be careful around the puddles of water. Get the Gold Vase at the end.

Mali Empire[]

They need a bag of salt rocks, they have the Declaration draft. Avoiding the snakes, go inside of the Timbuktu Inn and talk to the document man. He will notice that you don't have any money so he will ask if you can piece together a puzzle. Do it and you'll get the Declaration of Independence draft.

Da Vinci's workshop[]

They need a notebook, they have the Peace Medal. Go to Da Vinci's Workshop and go up to the pulley system and jump onto the highest platform. Wait until it goes all the way down, then jump onto the lowest one. Then, jump to the right, and grab the Peace Medal hanging underneath the wooden deck. Be warned - patience here is key, as it can take lots of tries to get the peace medal. Now, go up to Leo's Workshop. Once in there, find Leonardo da Vinci and return to him his Notebook. He will reward you with a Glider, but you don't need it to complete this island.

Aztec Empire[]

They need a sun stone piece, they have a pair of goggles. Once you're in the Aztec Empire, go to the right, pass the warriors trying to attack you and go up the pyramid to the king. Give him the Sun Stone Piece. Then, go to the pyramid on the right and talk to the old man at the top. He'll give you a Warrior Mask. Put it on, then talk to the warrior wearing the Goggles who will no longer attack you. He'll give the goggles to you.

The Great Wall of China[]

They need a stone bowl, they have an amulet and some gunpowder. In the Great Wall of China time period, go to the far right to get the Gunpowder, then climb up in the construction zone, go right, and talk to the man sitting down. He has the Amulet. Beat his memory game and he'll give it to you.

The Graff House[]

They need the Declaration draft, they have a bag of salt rocks. In The Graff House, go inside the building and give Thomas Jefferson the Declaration of Independence draft. After that, go to the top of the building and get the Salt Rocks that are on the chimney.

Lewis & Clark's Expedition[]

They need the Peace Medal, they have a stone bowl. In the Lewis and Clark time period, give Lewis the Peace Medal. Before you leave, go to the top of the tree where a beaver has the Stone Bowl and is popping in and out of the tree. To grab it, jump on the beaver in the moment he's about to peek out or catch him while he's going back in his hiding spot.

Menlo Park, New Jersey[]

They need a phonograph, they have a sun stone piece. Go to Edison's Workshop and go inside. In there, find Thomas Edison and give him the Phonograph. Then go back outside, go to the left and find the cart. Click on the wheel to make it move and follow it until it stops. Then, jump from the cart to the tree and from the tree to the top of the building. Go to the chimney on the left side of the building and on top of it, you will find the sun stone piece.

Construction of the Statue of Liberty[]

They need a statue model, they have a notebook. In the Statue of Liberty time period, enter the construction house that says "Gaget, Gauthier et Cie," find Bartholdi and give him the Statue of Liberty model. Now, go to the top of the Liberty structure and jump to the left. You will land on one of to ledges. The Notebook will be on the lower one.

Mount Everest[]

They need a pair of goggles, they have a statue model. Go to the Mount Everest time period and climb the mountain until you find Edmund Hillary. Give him his Goggles and continue climbing up the mountain. You will eventually get to the top, and once you done it, you will find the small study model of the Statue of Liberty.

Repairing the Last Two Times[]

Now you just have to return to the times that aren't repaired and give the items to the people who need the items. First, go to the Statue of Liberty time period, enter the construction house that says "Gaget, Gauthier et Cie," find Bartholdi and give him the Statue of Liberty model. Now, go to the Mount Everest time period and climb the mountain until you find Edmund Hillary. Give him his Goggles and continue climbing up the mountain.

Mission Accomplished[]

Return to the lab, turn on the future machine again and go inside. You will find yourself in the future, but it is different from before. Make your way up the buildings, using the monorails and the floating platforms and enter the house, where you will meet your future self again. He will give you the Island Medallion! Congrats!!!

Bonus Item![]

Go to the Vikings period and climb up the small mountain. Using the Glider that Leonardo da Vinci gave you, jump to the right and you'll glide through the air. Land on the other platform and you will find the Viking Suit.

Monster Adventure[]

It appears that Time Tangled Island was originally planned to be more reliant on the Fact Monster website. If the game loads an island named FactMonster or a scene named HomeFM, the following will occur:

  • The loading screen's Poptropica logo will change to a "Monster Adventure" logo (see below). Only applies to versions of the game that are at least older than 2012.
  • No island dropdown list will appear in the item inventory menu.
  • Time Tangled Island's time machine button will appear if the player has obtained the time machine item.

Notably, the AS2 login scene is named Home, which is similar to the name HomeFM. This may indicate that Monster Adventure was going to use its own login scene. Given that the inventory menu's dropdown menu is hidden while in the island, Monster Adventure may have been completely separate from the rest of the game, similarly to Our Discovery Island (also known as Poptropica English).

  • Time Tangled is the first island to feature sound, which you can hear when you play Edison’s phonograph. Click “Play” and you’ll hear real-life Edison from long ago singing “Mary Had a Little Lamb.”
  • Every year, the “Lab” setting of the time device is updated to reflect the present year.
  • The Possible Future (dystopian future) used to be filled with green smog, and but now it’s brownish-orange.
  • Many of the locations used to have Fact Monster bubbles, which you could click to learn historically accurate information or other educational facts about the subject. Fact Monster is a Poptropica sponsor and has been spotted in Poptropica.
  • In the island, you will encounter historical figures such as Lewis and Clark, Thomas Edison,Leonardo da Vinci, etc.
  • Aristotle the Greek philosopher can be found in Ancient Greece (328 BC), and when you talk to him, he says, “Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.”

  • Professor Pendulum, the guy who created the malfunctioning time machine, can be seen vacationing in Shark Tooth Island‘s Tourist Center.
