Riddling Rumpel Challenges Poptropicans to a Fairytale Twist | Side Quest Walkthrough šŖš°
Ā
Rumpelās Challenge was recently released as a members only side quest, that picks up where Fairytale Island left off!Ā The side quest begins with Rumpel reappearingĀ on Home Islandās Mainstreet, offering players the chance to uncover the Kingās whereabouts.Ā
Ā

Ā
Thankfully for our āpunyā Poptropican brains, the magic manās gracious enough to write down t the riddles leading to the King. With a burst of hisĀ signature puff of purple smoke, Rumpelās disappeared in thin air and we can begin the adventure.
Ā

Ā
Examine the first riddle in your sidebarās quest tab to get started!
Ā

Ā
Where gods standā¦ā the next destination must be on Mythology Island! Use the map to travel to Ancient Greece to search ābeneath a pretenderās head.ā Hmm, who do we know Mythology that might fit that description?
Ā
After arriving to the next island, consider the lines āhere your education is fedā and āhard as stoneā¦ā The Museum of Olympus fits the riddleās clues ā the Greek godsā and goddessesā statues are housed inside. Enter the Museum and sure enough, youāve found the second riddle under Zeusā statue.
Ā

Ā
The next riddle offers further clues to the next destination. If youāre familiar with the islands, this one should be relatively easy! āThe clock is always strikingā refers to Time Tangled island! But the unknown era on Time Tangled is the harder question. Letās check out the time device options to see where we should travel. Rumpelās hints the next leg of the challenge is located āabove my lost herd of vikingā ā and sure enough, the Vikings are represented on the time deviceās watchface. At Rumpelās recommendation, take a hike above the Viking herd near the cave to find the next clue!Ā
Ā

Ā
Finally, it seems weāve come across the last riddle. Who have we met thatās notorious for his weeping and crying? The Fairytale Prince, of course! Use the map to travel to Fairytale Island and up to the crying royal on the palaceās steps. Heās overjoyed by Rumpelās āpretty bad poemā and the prospect of finding his missing father. The Prince suspects that the room housing āgolden trovesā is the treasury!
Ā
Side by side, you and the Prince must descend into the depths of the treasury, making sure to use the levers to unlock the gates blocking your path. As you navigate the golden troves, you might notice Rumpelās back to his usual mind games. Look closely at the statues you pass ā the figuresā heads are replaced by Rumpelstiltskinās smirking face.
Ā
Ā
of visitors touching his gold. Try to keep both you and the Prince from touching the dragonās spoils, or the Prince will run away when the dragon wakes up.
Ā
On the lowest floors of the treasury, you can see the King! Heās imprisoned in a cell, protected by electrified panels. The Princeās reunion with his father is too much for him; he canāt help but cry! Surprisingly, the young royalās tears damage the electrified panels, overriding the systemās locking mechanism. Several cell doors swing open. Thatās it! Who wouldāve thoughtĀ that the Princeās vulnerability would be the very thing to save his father?!
Ā

Ā
Click on the Prince above the panels to insult and make him cry! Move the Prince around the panels until you find the right combination to release the jailed King. It seems Rumpelās left one last riddle to aid our efforts. The walls read, āTwo are shocking, four are not. In a column, or heāll stay caught.āĀ There are several different combinations you can use to manipulate the security system. With Rumpelās last riddle in mind, you can make the Prince cry over both levelsā panels on the left and right sides. Alternatively, making the Prince cry over the upper and lower middle panels is just as effective. What other combinations have you found that unlock the Kingās cell?
Ā
After the Princeās tears force the system to malfunction, the two royals are finally reunited! But their celebration is short lived. The King warns of a rumor Rumpel delivered just before he disappeared. The Queen, the Princeās mother, is returning to Fairytale Island. Both men simultaneously burst into tears and flee the treasury. What would make them react so poorly?!
Ā
Congratulations! You saved the day! Upon completing Rumpelās Challenge, youāre rewarded with 2,000 credits and left with one final clue ā Rumpel shall return.
Ā
Ā
Whew! What did you think about Rumpelās Challenge? Did you use a different combination of broken panels to breach the security system? And why on earth would the King and Prince be terrified by the Queenās return? Only time will tell!
Ā
Bonus Question: How many statues did you see Rumpelās head temporarily replace? Mischevious should be the magic manās middle nameā¦

š HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN: 18 days!Ā š
You guys forgot the halloween countdown
Oops, updatedĀ the post with the countdown!
Guys, let's not stop complaining about the old stuff until they bring them back. Invisible Ring's movie inspired me, not to rebuild the fandom's attitude, but to actually bring the original Poptropica back! We've got to take action!
what are we actually gonna do. Whine in the comments? Has that worked, so far?
As far as I know, "complaining about the old stuff" does less than build a generally negative attitude.
Want them to talk to you? Send them an email(not hate mail, a respectful one). Try to throw ideas at them where they'll listen, and where they'll respond. Remember that actions speak louder than (complaints) words.
This wasn't a choice they wanted to make, it was a choice they had to make. The old islands were removed due to the death of flash.
yes. although the old islands were fun, they are putting out new things. there wouldn't be any costume contests and the baron if poptropica was still old poptropica.
Ever think Poptropica was BETTER in the old days?! Jeez. You guys just donāt understand
I see 5.
Will the side quest become available to non-members?
Wow! Another great side quest. But some questions remain... Is the Queen evil? Possibly working with Rumpel? So many questions! Thank you, Poptropica for keeping us on our toes!
Is the Rumpelstiltskin side quest open to non-members now?
My prince keeps saying "where's my real dad?" , even though I got the final rumpled clue. I tried replaying the fairytale island and it still is not allowing my character to say "I've found a clue that could lead us to your father". Help, what do I do?
Sorry about that! Please report the issue through the Contact Us page and we can help ya out!Ā
