How do you beat Charlie Brown island on poptropica?

Answer 1

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the 31st island of Poptropica, released on December 6, 2012. It is loosely based on the book by Roald Dahl, which was the basis for two movies about Willy Wonka. Players enter the Chocolate Factory along with the kids who were lucky enough to find a Golden Ticket in their Wonka chocolate bars.

This solution contains all spoilers. A shorter version will appear at the related question below. There is a link to a video walkthrough in the related links.

Beginning the Quest

Main Street has three buildings: the Wonka store, the Post Office (multiplayer room), and the Corner Store. To the left are the Tenements, where Charlie Bucket and his family live. To the right is the Willy Wonka Chocolate factory.

1) The characters all tell the story of the coming tour of the Chocolate Factory, to be available only to the holders of 5 Golden Tickets. Charlie, outside the store, has no money to buy candy.

2) Go to the far left, and past the tenements to the Pay Phones. There is a Silver Coin in one of the phones. Bring it back to the Corner Store and go inside.

3) Give the coin to Charlie, who buys a Wonka bar. Open it to reveal a Golden Ticket.

4) Shove aside the people offering to buy the ticket so that Charlie can leave. Go out and run behind him. Click all of the crates and trash bins to keep anyone from catching him. (This is a long and repetitive chase scene.)

5) When Charlie leaves, it is the next day. A 6th Golden Ticket floats down outside the factory. Follow it left to the Tenements, and climb the building at far left to follow it. Bounce on the wire to cross to the upper right, where you will catch the ticket.

The Chocolate Factory

6) Go right to the factory and enter the gate. The parents of the kids are outside. Talk to all 5 kids, and Willy Wonka will appear to usher Charlie and the others inside. They are Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Mike Teavee.

7) When the kids run off, Willy asks you to get his cane. When you go left to pick it up, he disappears along with Charlie.

8) Go right and enter the work rooms. Each time you enter the hallway, the "room selector" will appear. Select a room and then follow the blue hands down until you fall into the room.

The Chocolate Room and the Fudge Room

9) Augustus is swimming in the chocolate and gets sucked up into the pipeline. Turn all three green wheels to send him off to the Fudge Room (at right).

10) In the fudge room, you have to rescue Augustus from the smasher and the fiery ovens. Turn the green wheel to send him to the smasher. Cross quickly to the left and press the green button on the computer to stop the smasher.

11) As he heads back to the right, wait at the oven and press the blue flame control to tighten the flame. Then press the flame-reducer red button on the computer control (at right) to let him safely pass.

12) As he goes left again through the main ovens, press any of the flame alternator buttons to switch the flames from the one he's under to the ones he's not under, until he exits at the left side. (* the key here is to reduce the first flame, then stand at the middle orange button -- if you try to move from button to button, you may lose). Enter the hallway and choose TV Room.

The TV Room and the Bubblegum Room

13) After Willy Wonka sends the candy bar, Mike goes under the camera and is sent to the TV at far left. Adjust the antenna on the set until he's clear.

14) In the Bubblegum Room, use the stretchers to restore him to "normal" (almost) by selecting a mid-range between Less and More for both the vertical and horizontal stretching. Enter the hallway and go to the Inventing Room.

The Inventing Room and the Juicing Room

15) Willy Wonka is at right explaining his "three-course meal gum" and Violet wants to try the prototype. (Jump on the large button at right to release a gumball.) Unfortunately, the gum is not perfected and she swells into a purple blueberry from the dessert. She goes into the Juicing Room.

16) There are 4 operating machines, and all you need to do is match the order of the fruits to the order of the machines so that Violet goes to the squeezer. Slide the four color blocks to the proper positions (on the square, not the holes). The orange goes next to the number 1, the yellow next to 2, the purple next to 4, and the red next to 3. Violet gets shrunken and you take the hallway at right and go to the Nut Room.

The Nut Room and the Incinerator

17) In the Nut Room, both Veruca and her dad are tossed in the trash and you follow. (You pick up a Walnut in passing.)

18) In the Incinerator, you have to stop all three generators and the backup to stop the conveyor belt taking them into the furnace.

19) Jump to the next level and pull the handle that drops a huge wad of old gum. Roll it right to gum up generator #1. Pull to get another ball and roll it right to block the squirrel door -- so that one cannot come out when you throw the switch on generator #2. Quickly go to the bottom and slide the trash can to the right, blocking the other doorway. Now you can shut off generator #3.

20) When the squirrel starts running in the backup cage, place the Walnut on the platform to his left. He will stop running and get the nut. You have saved the Salts.

21) In the process, you picked up a can of Whipped Cream that turns out to be useless because a different version is used in the final challenge. You also picked up some Fizzy Drink, which you use to exit through the vent in the ceiling. Take the hallway back to the Chocolate Room again, where Charlie is waiting with Wonka.

Chocolate Room and the Chocolate River

22) Before Wonka can finish his speech, Charlie is swept away down the river of chocolate and you have to follow to rescue him.

23) As you jump to floating objects, some will rapidly sink, so you have to jump quickly. For wide distances, there is a can of whipped cream that solidifies in the air, creating temporary walkways. You need to use these to cross the rocks (no place to stand) and in one place there is no time to use it if you jump onto the sinking candy grass first -- just use the whipped cream exclusively at this point. Since you only have seconds to use it, you may want to spray a second line beneath the one you are on, in case you have trouble.

* The main problem is that if you don't click directly on the can at upper right, your character will move that way, into the chocolate! Don't miss the click!

24) Reach Charlie and rescue him, but he gets the keys to the Factory anyway. You get the Island Medallion. To leave, use the hallway exit to the main entrance.

Bonus Quest for Paid Monthly Members

1) Three of Wonka's competitors have stolen three valuable recipes. You have to fly after them in the Glass Elevator to recover the recipes.

2) This is a much shorter timed version of the Red Dragon battle (though somewhat easier). Collect candies from the clouds and spray them in front of the airplanes to gum up their engines (which explode). You face each of the three planes separately and you have 40 seconds to blow each one up. This can be hard if they hide offscreen or if you cannot find a candy refill right away.

3) As each plane is defeated, you recover its recipe as the pilot bails out. You must do all three in the same try to win. The reward is the Helio-Gum (typo for Heli-Gum), a bubblegum that lifts you a short distance above the ground. It apparently will not help beat any quests, because you drop back to your original level.

Notes:

1) Nutty glitch - if the "backup squirrel" does not start running in the cage in the Incinerator Room, you cannot finish the room. Let it restart.

Answer 2

There is no Peanut Island on Poptropica. You will find the solution at the related question below ("How do you beat Great Pumpkin Island?").

However, you could also read the following answer, which has not been checked for errors.

---

Run down Main Street to the right and head to the Pumpkin Patch, where you'll find Linus and Lucy. Linus will ask you to help find the heaviest pumpkin in the patch. You have a timer and need to drag the heaviest pumpkin onto Lucy's picture before time runs out. The quickest way to do this is to pick any two pumpkins and put them on the scales. Remove the lighter one and drop it off to the side so you don't accidentally pick it up again. Then keep putting pumpkins on the scale, always removing the lighter one. After you've gotten through all the pumpkins, the one remaining on the scale is the heaviest, so drag it over to Lucy.

Next, Lucy and Linus need you to roll the pumpkin back to their house. This launches a challenging mini-game where you push a pumpkin along hills and obstacles. There are several spots where it can drop off or get hit by something and be destroyed. If it breaks, you'll get sent back to a starting point (either the very beginning or the last flag marker you passed). The toughest part is near the end, where three kids are on swings. The best strategy is to get the pumpkin into position right next to the first swinger and then as soon as she passes you while swinging backwards, run and push as fast as you can all the way through. You and the pumpkin will end up safely next to Lucy.

Next you'll go inside the Van Pelt house (Van Pelt is Linus and Lucy's last name). Linus will give you a trick or treat bag. Lucy will carve the pumpkin and then the screen fades out to "Later that Day." Charlie Brown and Linus have a quick conversation with you and then Linus starts to write a letter to the Great Pumpkin. Once this is over, run outside into the street and find Pig Pen. Give him the trick or treat bag and he'll give you a lemon flavored Sucker. Head back inside the Van Pelt house and give the lemon sucker to Linus. He'll leave and then you can grab the pen he leaves behind on the desk. Now run outside.

Run left through Main Street to Charlie Brown's backyard. There you'll find Charlie Brown and Snoopy over by Snoopy's doghouse. Talk to Charlie and then you'll play a game as Snoopy where you have to blow leaves that fall from a tree onto the leaf pile. You need to move five leaves over to the pile to complete the game. You move left and right with your mouse and then click to blow up into the air to keep the leaf aloft. It takes a little getting used to because normally in Poptropica you click to move. Once you finish, Linus will arrive and jump into the pile of leaves. He'll then walk away to go mail his letter to the Great Pumpkin.

Now run back to Main Street and you'll find Linus next to the mailbox. Click on him and he'll ask where his security blanket is. Now head back to Charlie Brown's backyard and click on the pile of leaves. Move your cursor around really fast in a circular motion to blow all the leaves out of the way and then click on the blue blanket when it appears. Take the blanket back to Linus and he'll use it top open the mailbox and mail the letter.

OK, now head back to Charlie Brown's backyard once again (there's a lot of running back and forth on this island!) and you'll find Charlie Brown and Lucy playing football. Charlie wants a signed agreement from Lucy before he kicks it. Give him the pen you found on Linus' desk when he asks for it. He'll try to kick the ball but Lucy takes it away at the last second and he falls flat on his back. They'll leave and then you can pick up the football. Go back over to where Snoopy's doghouse is and stand under the tree. Use the football to kick it up into the branches, where it will knock down Snoopy's aviator cap.

Now begins the whole Snoopy part of the quest. The first game is where you are Snoopy flying on his doghouse trying to avoid the Red Baron (who looks a lot like Woodstock!) The main strategy here is to fly around in loops and avoid the Red Baron as much as possible. You especially want to stay clear of the bombs he drops. Stay alive for one minute and then you'll make an emergency landing behind enemy lines. The next part is where you run across the countryside at night while trying to avoid being spotted by the searchlight. This is a lot like the laser beam part in the museum in Counterfeit Island. You just need to run to the right and stop at each obstacle that you can hide behind. When the searchlight passes back to the left, run again to the next hiding place. When you reach the house, jump up on twice to get onto the roof and hide behind the chimney. Then drop down to the right and you'll be standing next to a scarecrow. Take the mask off the scarecrow and walk to the right where you'll find the entrance to the Halloween Party.

Inside the Halloween Party, you'll find a bunch of different games that you need to win. The first one is bobbing for apples. This is very easy. Just click on one apple at a time when they appear. As soon as you get five, you win. The next game is where you carve a pumpkin using the back of Charlie Brown's head as a model. All you need to do here is trace the shapes of a jack-o-lantern and then you'll see your handiwork carved on the pumpkin.

The next game is harder. Here you'll see a jack-o-lantern move around and then the screen goes dark. You need to place the jack-o-lantern pieces so that they overlap as closely as possible where the jack-o-lantern last appeared. It's a bit like pin the tail on the donkey. If your pieces are all close enough, you'll win. Here's a quick tip: when the jack-o-lantern stops moving, put your finger on the screen right where it's nose is. That way, you can line up the pieces very closely.

The final game is a rhythm music game on Schroeder's piano. You need to click on the piano keys just as the falling dota land on the squares above them, just like in Guitar Hero or Rock Band. As long as you get enough of them to keep the blue progress bar past the red line, Snoopy will dance. At the end of the song, if he's still dancing, you win.

The party will come to an end and everyone goes out in costume for trick-or-treating. All you really need to do here is ring the doorbell at each house and then jump up and catch one piece of candy (get a different at each house). When your candy bag is full, the trick-or-treating is over.

Now head back to the pumpkin patch, where you'll find Sally and Linus still waiting for the Great Pumpkin. Give the bag of candy to Sally, and she'll thank you. Once that happens, you'll see a pumpkin moving in the foreground. Is it the Great Pumpkin? Nope, just Snoopy! Sally leaves in disgust but Linus says he's going to stay. You'll offer to stay with them. Then as night progresses, Lucy will arrive and thank you for watching out for Linus, who is now fast asleep on the ground. She'll give you the island medallion as a reward and then she'll take Linus home. Congratulations! You completed Great Pumpkin Island. Good grief!

After it's all over, you can still go back and visit with most of the characters.

Answer 3

There is no "Charlie Brown Island" or "Peanuts Island" or "Snoopy Island."

The name of the island is "Great Pumpkin Island" and the solutions are at the related questions below.
