How do you beat the Cabin Fever game on Poptropica?

Answer 1

The ad-game "Cabin Fever" was a promotional mini-game that appeared at the start of November 2011 to advertise the latest Diary of a Wimpy Kid book Cabin Fever, released on November 15, 2011.

The game is a simple snowball fight between you and the Whirley Street Kids. They will pop up and throw snowballs at you, and you throw back. The object is to hit all 10 of the Whirley kids in 60 seconds, without hitting Greg or the other friendly kids (Fregley and Rowley).

The rewards are a Paper Costume and a sneak peek at a chapter of the book.

Answer 2

Cabin Fever is episode 4 of the Poptropica "Survival" quest (aka "Survival island").

Having completed episodes 1, 2, and 3, you used a radio tower to call for your rescue. Now you have to deal with your mysterious rescuer (inspired by a classic short story 'The Most Dangerous Game').

Episode 4: Cabin Fever

A helicopter sent by "Myron Van Buren" picks you up from the radio tower. But the message in the crashed plane said "Don't trust MVB." You meet Van Buren and you are dropped off at his hunting lodge. After a short tour of his trophies ((cross the ad room to enter the bottom floor right), you meet his valet Winston. Go with Van Buren to the dining hall (cross the ad room to the bottom floor left). But after eating you fall asleep and awaken in a locked bedroom.

1) Click on the three lights below the herald to turn them on and off. Turn the red light on, and you see a message "You are not alone." Turn off the red and turn on the blue, and you see "Meet me in the woods." With just the red and blue lights on, you see the number '0451' which is the front door security code, and the initials MM.

2) Click on the right paw of the bear rug to get its claw. Use it to break the lock on the door.

3) To get past the security lights, wait until the first one goes right, then click the plant to hide behind it. When the light moves right, click to come out again, and jump onto the stuffed walrus. When the second light moves away, click to hide behind the second plant, then come out and turn off the security system.

4) Exit and go downstairs. Jump on the moose head three times until it falls and reveals the hidden Trophy Room key. Go right and Use the key to enter. (If you try to go upstairs, Winston catches you and you start again from your room.)

5) Collect items in the room:

- click the Spear from the safari

- jump to the elephant, then the crocodile to break it off the wall and reveal the Voice Recording

6) Leave the trophy room and go to the Dining Room/Kitchen. Turn on the water faucet to attract the Chef's attention, then click to hide behind the plant as she passes. Click to jump back out and grab the Water Pitcher. Continue right to the stove and pick up the Tainted Meat. Quickly click behind the other plant until the Chef passes back to the left. Click the water faucet again to quickly fill the pitcher. Leave the room.

7) At the fireplace, click the right candle to open a secret passageway. Use the water pitcher to douse the fire. Go right and blow the Ram's Horn and Winston comes down to investigate. When he does, jump behind the fireplace and climb the hidden stairs to the painting of Van Buren. Click it to jump out from the hidden room and enter Van Buren's bedroom.

8) The key to the Armory in the Trophy Room is hanging by Van Buren's bed, but you can't cross the wooden floor or the trophies without waking him. You have to jump across the four animal heads. When you get close, Use the spear to hook the key, then leave the same quiet way you came in.

9) Return to the Trophy Room and use the key to open the Armory. You don't need the costume. but jump to the top shelf to get the Night Vision Goggles.

10) Leave the room and go to the front door. Click the Security system and press 0451. But the door won't open until it hears Van Buren's voice (use the recording).

11) Outside, put on the Night Vision Goggles and climb the tree. When you are above the guard dog, Use the Tainted Meat to put him to sleep. Go left and you reach the gate. You receive the Survival Episode 4 Medallion.

12) Unfortunately, you set off an alarm and Van Buren and Winston appear. Van Buren says the hunt is going to begin, and YOU are the hunted prey! The story continues in Episode 5 : Escape!
