He is in New Jersey, near an old abandoned house.
On poptropica Cryptids Island, the matches are used to light a lantern you get from the monastery (in the Himalayas) which eventually assists you in finding the jersey devil.
It would really depend on the kids' opinions of what is scary to them or not, but I think that the giant spider on Early Poptropica island and the Jersey Devil on Cryptids island might scare them.
Its in the woods hiding
you buy it in the store and it dose it for you
figure it out
go to the jersey devil place and take motor bike and use the grappling hook to get the evidence in the nest on the tree.
Take the shells back to the Mews lab and test them. The DNA analyzer will prove the existence of the Jersey Devil.
with the matches eventually you'll get a lanturn need the matches and to light it when you look for the jersey devil
Once you enter the abandoned house in the woods, there will be a noise in the attic. When you enter the attic, all that is there is a raccoon. Go back downstairs. The New Jersey Devil will be looking at you from a window when you get down there.
You cannot 'win' the Jersey Devil. If you want to find her/him, go to the Himalayas to get a lantern from a munk, then go to the Loch Ness place, and get the matches from the pub. Go to New Jersey, and ride the motercycle into the forest. (You also have to have metal cutters for the dumpster)
You have lantern and matches for the house. Go up in the attic because you hear a bumping noise it turns out is a raccoon as you make your way down to the door the jersey devil appears. You follow it outside it has nest of eggs in the top of a tree use rope to climb up and bring one of the egg shells to the lab.
Get the grappling hook in the far right of the attic. Walk out of the house, after the Jersey Devil flies away, right next to where the Jersey Devil was. Go to items, select grappling hook, and you should say, "Here goes" and launch the grappling hook up. climb up and grab the egg shell.
