Trivia
- Counterfeit Island is Poptropica’s 10th island. An Early Access pass was available on December 21, 2009, and anyone who completed the island within the early access period won 200 credits for free. It was released on January 4, 2010 for all.
- Master Mime, a Poptropica Creator alias, is based on the mimes in this island.
- The Scream, a painting by Edvard Munch, plays a big role in this island. Another famous painting featured in the Museum Fantastique is The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh.
- During the quest, players travel to the Pop Art Museum on Early Poptropica Island.
- Common room: Moldy Baguette Inn
- The villain, Black Widow, reappears in Super Villain Island. Her design is based on the black widow spider. She’s also a Poptropica Creator.
- There is a sign at the inspector’s cottage that says “Black Widow” in French. (It should say “Veuvre Noire” but is misspelled as “niore.”)
- Balloon Boy, who floats away after you give him a balloon, is based on the Balloon Boy Hoax of 2009. Balloon Boy also appears as a running gag elsewhere on Poptropica, such as on a TV screen on Reality TV Island.
- The artist on Main Street beside the easel you can draw on is based on Bob Ross, who hosted a TV show about painting.

This is sooooo exciting! I got an early access pass on 3 characters.I beat it the first day it came out!
Exciting!
This is fun!
Awesome! I beat it without using any cheats! (I only use cheats when I am desperate) I think this is the best and most exiting island yet! (and I am not just saying that!) P.S. in the cave the light switch never does any thing.
How do u get the balloon boy down????????
Hijuyo: You can’t; it’s not possible. Balloon Boy shall continue floating in the sky. xD
Notice that when you are riding the scooter, you can see Balloon Boy in the sky for a few seconds. XD
Also in the new RTV trailer, it shows the “Balloon Boy” report
kind of
poor balloon boy
I finished counterfeit island all thanks to you guys
I finished it!! Thanks for the help
I know how you can costumize the evil black widow. On your internet if you have a thing to maximize it use it. Use it when your in the black widows hideout before you are about to defeat her. Then use the maximizer and cosumize her then.
Help with the paint board (infront of the multiplayer room on Counterfeit island)
Q: How do I select a color?
A: Click on one of the globs of paint on the side of the board. Black and white are below the other colors.
Q: How do I get different shades of a color?
A: There is one big paint glob for each color. Around each one, there are 2, 3, or 4 little splatters. Each splatter gives you a different shade of the color of the glob they are around.
Q: How do I get colors other than the 6 main ones?
A: In between 2 colors, there is a little thing connecting them that fades from one color to the other. Click where you want to get the color/shade you want.
Q: How do I know what color what color I am using?
A: At the bottom, there is a glob that is the color of the paint you are using.
You can change the brush size at the bottom where it says brush size. You can change the transparency at the bottom where it says transparency. You can print your picture by clicking print, or clear the board and start over by clicking clear. Hope this helped!

I am ging to beat the island right now!
this is one of my personal favorites, it has great graphics and places to go, flows smoothly and has awesome action
FUNNY GLITCH:
Go to Counterfeit Island.
Go to the underground tunnel entrance.
Inflate the Birthday Balloon from the store.
Do the ctrl-shift-s glitch until the balloon sting is like two strings and your balloon is upside-down!
Do the glitch again to remove it.
Have fun with your silly balloon!
I need help!
kay, it’s like this…. I’d collected all of the torn pictures and made it into the museum at night through the secrets passage. I decided to save and continue the game the next day. So I did. The next day when I logged back in I was outside the museum at night and 2 pieces of the torn pictures missing!
Now I’m stuck since I cant enter the secret passage without the whole picture and I can’t retrieve the pieces as one is in the museum which is closed for the night.
I can’t finish the island now T____T !
Please help anybody!
yeahhhh
I need help with counterfitt island because I can’t put the pictures in place
The street artist is based on Bob Ross, who used to have a “How to paint” show.
