(The preview was only available from December 2 to December 19, 2010.) On the Cryptids Island preview in Poptropica, visitors had a chance to spot Nessie for a prize. She appeared as a small shape in the distance. Seeing her was mostly random chance, but the odds could be improved by multiple visits over the period of the preview.

The viewfinder game was part of the demo of Cryptids island and had almost nothing to do with the quest. It was possible to see a hazy outline of Nessie after you saw the dog barking. If you did, you received a Nessie costume prize.

The prize for spotting Nessie during the Cryptids Island preview (beginning December 2, 2010) was a Nessie Hat or other various costume prizes, from the Nessie follower to the Bigfoot costume hat. (Nothing but "virtual" prizes for your avatar.) (see related link)

Yes, it was possible to see Nessie on the binocular telescope, but she wasn't there all the time. She appeared in the deep background for a short time several times a day, so that some players might see her and win a prize.
When you catch Gretchen Grimlock's helicopter, jump onto it from yours, then click her gas cap and fuel will start coming out. Cut loose the line to Bigfoot's cage with your gardening shears, and you both float safely down on the cage's parachute.
The Sneak Peek was from December 2 to December 19, 2010. You could not really beat it - you got a certain amount of time to look for Nessie, and if you found her, you got a prize.
You do, but you don't. By proving the 4 cryptids, you win the Mews million-dollar prize. But since he has exhausted his fortune, you generously let him use the money to buy up land to protect the Bigfoot population. Even if you aren't generous, or don't want to be generous, that's how the quest ends.

Early Access was granted to paid monthly members on December 20, 2010.The island is based on a reward offered by a billionaire, to go to whoever provides proof of the existence of cryptids (legendary creatures that are not proved to be real or not). Creatures featured are Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, the Chupacabra, and the Jersey Devil. Other adventurers are out to claim the prize, but are being sabotaged by the evil fortune hunter Gretchen Grimlock.
There is no prize for beating all of Poptropica's islands.
