Trivia
- Skullduggery Island is Poptropica’s 13th island. It was released on May 20, 2010 for members and June 17, 2010 for non-members.
- Despite the name Skullduggery Island, it is really made up of several islands – Fort Ridley, Dragon Cove, Bouffant Bay, Parrot Port, Golden Harbor, Pirate Outpost, and then the actual Skullduggery Island at the end.
- The word “skullduggery” means “trickery,” and could also have been chosen because of the iconic skull-and-crossbones of a pirate ship’s Jolly Roger flag.
- The highest amount of doubloons is 18,725,999.
- Common room: The Broken Barrel
- There are many white clouds over the Skullduggery seas, and some of them have interesting shapes, such as a heart, skull-and-crossbones, smiley, fish, whale, bone, etc.
- Coderkid discovered from Poptropica’s code that this island would have originally been called Pirate Trade Island. A framework file in Poptropica that shows the islands’ code names does refer to Skullduggery as “Trade.”
- The ship’s names are, in order: raft, Jimmy Rigger, Carabelle, Sea Sultan, The Koi, Steaming Fury, Phoenix Warbird.
- Some people have reported being able to defeat Captain Crawfish without the Phoenix Warbird (although the Warbird is recommended). However, in the cutscene, your ship will display as the Warbird.
- Before the island was released, starting May 3, 2010, members received two exclusive items: The Skullduggery Teaser Trailer and a Skullduggery Pirate costume.
- An official book for Skullduggery Island was released on November 8, 2012. The first two chapters can be read for free on Funbrain. At the end of the preview, you’ll get a promo code for the Skull Pirate costume (the code is SkullBook).

Discuss Skullduggery Island here!
This island takes the longest time to beat. Its pretty cool though.
Cool and YAY! second comment.
Why is Skullduggery not available to the public when today is the 17th June, (America time)??
I am a member, but there was an error on the Poptropica system which lost some of my items, preventing me from going any further on the new island. As a result I am waiting for the public “unlocking” of Skullduggery and it still has not come??
Hijuyo: It should come out later today. The Poptropica Creators didn’t promise that SD Island would be coming within the first hour of the appointed day, so just be patient.
Same thing with me.They should give a prediction for when it will be online.
I feel really stupid asking this… but where do you go to upgrade your ship? I seem to have lost the place. ^^;;
Hijuyo: There’s a ship trader at Dragon Cove who will let you buy better ships.
Best Island!!!!!
RTV and this are the only ones you can play after you win, which I really like.
Yea, I agree. It’s the best because it’s the longest!
I’ve had it open for a year. o-o
Hmm, I never knew that about the doubloon value.
