Non-Member Demo
When you land on the island, you find a poster for a Chicago World's Fair, and a train stopped there is going to this fair. Go left until you find a man struggling to push some bags on to the John Bull, the train stopped there. The man, Thomas Edison, will tell you that if you can push his luggage in the train, he'll be in your debt. Now you will see five suitcases and a wooden board. Just organize the suitcase into size order (smallest one on the left side and tallest on the right side), click on the wooden plank, and your Poptropican will push Edison's luggage onto the train. Edison then gives you a ticket to the John Bull in case he needs your assistance again, tells your Poptropican to meet him once you board the train, and leaves. Then go a bit right and board the train. Once you board the the John Bull, you will see the Conductor yell "Full steam ahead!" Then go left to the Coal Man, a man in black who is covered in soot. Talk to him, and he'll welcome you aboard. Then go left. Continue in until you find George Ferris, a man with a moustache that is wearing navy blue. Talk to him, and he'll say that his invention for the Chicago World's Fair, a gigantic wheel, is not working. He'll give your Poptropican a Telegram that explains why. Read it, and you will find out that the Ferris Wheel needs device to give it more power for it to work. Then go left until you find Nikola Tesla, a guy standing outside a door marked with his name on it. Tell him that the Fair sounds unbelieveable, and he'll tell you that "Nothing is unbelievable if you can imagine it. That is the essence of science." Then head a little bit left to a door marked 'Reserved for S.B.Anthony' (that's Susan B. Anthony). Go inside and you'll find Susan B. Anthony. Talk to her, and she'll give you a phamplet on her exhibit at the Fair: Women's Sufferage. Exit her cabin and head left intil you spot Gustave Eiffel, a moustached & bearded man wearing a greenish suit. When you realize you he is, and what he made for the Paris World's Fair a few years before (that's the Eiffel Tower), you ask him if he's afraid of the wheel upstaging his tower. "Non, non," he replies, "All great creations should inspire others to even greater heights!" After that, slip left to a door reserved for Erik Weisz and head in. Ask Erik Weisz, the Poptropican in the room, if he is excited about the fair. Weisz agrees, saying that it'll be 'magical'. Then leave and race on to the left until you see the New York Times Reporter, a man with a pencil in his ear and a notepad in his hand. Talk to him, and you'll learn that he is unhappy that the Fair is not going to be held in New York City. Next up to the left is Mark Twain's cabin, so go inside. At the left side of the room, sitting by his bed, is Mark Twain, wearing a white tux, with white hair and pale white skin. Talk to him, and you'll comment on his skin. "I'd much rather be on a steamboat," he says, "Train travel makes me ill. It's the coal fumes. . ." Then he makes a sickly urk sound. Now would be a good time to leave. When you leave, go left to a cabin reserved for a Mlle. Mondeau (Mademoiselle Mondeau), but as you do, grab a pencil from a table. When you make it in, you can probally tell where this reporter is from. go to the right, and you will find the femine reporter. Like the N.Y. Times Reporter, she doesn't seem happy about a world's fair not in Paris, but unlike the N.Y. Time Reporter, there was already a Paris World's Fair, and she gives you a newspaper about it (it's in french). Then go to the left one more time intil you see the Porter, a dashingly handsome Poptropican in navy blue (he's/she's dashingly handsome because he/she has the same skin color, hair color, mouth, and gender as your Poptropican). Talk to him, then head right intil the cabin of Thomas Edison. When you enter in, Thomas Edison will be done with his device. Talk to him, and he'll tell you that he is now going to test out the motion capture device. You head to the front of the device, and on Edison's push of a button, the machine hums to life. Edison is excited that his machine works, and races out of the room to tell the N.Y. Times Reporter, forgetting to turn off his device. When he leaves, the John Bull goes through a tunnel, causing all light to dissapear. Soon the light pours in again and you see that the Motion Capture Device is gone. Then Edison and the Reporter return, and Edison, in shock of his invention's dissapearance, corners down the suspects to you. But you plee that it wasn't you, and Edison believes you and a screen pops up, telling you how to start investigating. When you click close to delete it, look on the bottom right corner for a blue circle with a magnifying glass on it. That is the Investigation Button. It stores all of your clues, and if you ever get too confused, click on it to review your clues to yourself. Now that you know about the Investigation Button, it's time to start sleuthing! Click on the N.Y. Times Reporter, but instead of talking to him, you'll find yourself looking at the N.Y. Times Reporter againist a table, but this table has a little square with the Motion Capture Device in it. This the the Interrogation Table, where you can try to get clues from other Poptropicans, and the square is the clue of the Motion Capture Device Stolen. Click on your only clue, and the N.Y. Times Reporter will tell you that he thinks that Mark Twain may be hiding the device in a secret compartment in his cabin, giving you a new clue: Mark Twain's Secret Compartment. Close down the Interrogation Table and leave the cabin.

Getting on the Train
When you land on the island, you find a poster for a Chicago World's Fair, and a train stopped there is going to this fair. Go left until you find a man struggling to push some bags on to the John Bull, the train stopped there. The man, Thomas Edison, will tell you that if you can push his luggage in the train, he'll be in your debt. Now you will see five suitcases and a wooden board. Just organize the suitcase into size order (smallest one on the left side and tallest on the right side), click on the wooden plank, and your Poptropican will push Edison's luggage onto the train. Edison then gives you a ticket to the John Bull in case he needs your assistance again, tells your Poptropican to meet him once you board the train, and leaves. Then go a bit right and board the train.

How I Met the Passengers
Once you board the the John Bull, you will see the Conductor yell "Full steam ahead!" Then go left to the Coal Man, a man in black who is covered in soot. Talk to him, and he'll welcome you aboard. Then go left. Continue in until you find George Ferris, a man with a moustache that is wearing navy blue. Talk to him, and he'll say that his invention for the Chicago World's Fair, a gigantic wheel, is not working. He'll give your Poptropican a Telegram that explains why.

Times Reporter, she doesn't seem happy about a world's fair not in Paris, but unlike the N.Y. Time Reporter, there was already a Paris World's Fair, and she gives you a newspaper about it (it's in french). Then go to the left one more time intil you see the Porter, a dashingly handsome Poptropican in navy blue (he's/she's dashingly handsome because he/she has the same skin color, hair color, mouth, and gender as your Poptropican). Talk to him, then head right intil the cabin of Thomas Edison.

The Mystery Begins
When you enter in, Thomas Edison will be done with his device. Talk to him, and he'll tell you that he is now going to test out the motion capture device. You head to the front of the device, and on Edison's push of a button, the machine hums to life. Edison is excited that his machine works, and races out of the room to tell the N.Y. Times Reporter, forgetting to turn off his device. When he leaves, the John Bull goes through a tunnel, causing all light to dissapear. Soon the light pours in again and you see that the Motion Capture Device is gone. Then Edison and the Reporter return, and Edison, in shock of his invention's dissapearance, corners down the suspects to you. But you plee that it wasn't you, and Edison believes you and a screen pops up, telling you how to start investigating. When you click close to delete it, look on the bottom right corner for a blue circle with a magnifying glass on it. That is the Investigation Button. It stores all of your clues, and if you ever get too confused, click on it to review your clues to yourself.

A Secret Compartment Clue
Now that you know about the Investigation Button, it's time to start sleuthing! Click on the N.Y. Times Reporter, but instead of talking to him, you'll find yourself looking at the N.Y. Times Reporter againist a table, but this table has a little square with the Motion Capture Device in it. This the the Interrogation Table, where you can try to get clues from other Poptropicans, and the square is the clue of the Motion Capture Device Stolen. Click on your only clue, and the N.Y. Times Reporter will tell you that he thinks that Mark Twain may be hiding the device in a secret compartment in his cabin, giving you a new clue: Mark Twain's Secret Compartment. Close down the Interrogation Table and leave the cabin. Now head to Twain's cabin and find Twain, looking less sick, standing next to a table with books stacked on it. Bring him to the Interrogation Table and click on the clue Mark Twain's Secret Compartment. Now your Poptropican appear asking Twain about his compartment, and sputter out an answer like he's afraid. With those sputtered words, he allows you to check for a secret compartment. You'll leave the Interrogation Table, to where you were before. Click the second to top rigth-side square and you'll hear a THUMP and a secret compartment will open, reveiling a rolled-up stack of paper. "It's true, you've found my manuscript." sighs Twain. Turns out, he was hiding a manuscript for his new book, 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' and didn't want anyone to read it yet. So Mark Twain's Secret Compartment is deleted from your clues.

The Unscheduled Stop
Suddenly, the John Bull screeches to a stop. You decide to go outside and investigate. There you find George Ferris, the Conductor, and the N.Y. Times Reporter. Talk to Ferris first. "An unscheduled stop? Maybe the fresh air will clear my mind." Then talk to the Conductor, who thinks that the stop was all the Coal Man's fault. Then talk to the N.Y. Times Reporter. He just remembered that he heard footsteps heading towards Edison's cabin, and maybe they left a clue. Then the Conductor yells "All aboard!" and you appear next to him on the John Bull as he yells "Full steam ahead!"

Hiding Out
Don't forget your hint from the N.Y. Times Reporter, and run straight left to Edison's cabin, but make one small delay. Slip into Susan B. Anthony's cabin and confront her with the Motion Capture Device Stolen at the Interrogation Table. She say that Nikola Tesla has locked himself in his cabin since the theft, and the clue Nikola Tesla Hiding in Cabin will be added to your clues.

Disaster Prune
Now you can race to outside Edison's cabin, where you'll find spilled juice of some kind. Move your mouse over it, and it'll turn into a magnifying glass, which means you've found a clue. Click, and you'll identify the juice as prune juice, and the clue Spilled Prune Juice will be added to your clues. Now head left to the Dining Car, where you will find the Porter. Bring him to the Interrogation Table, and ask him about the Spilled Prune Juice. "I can't tell you what our passengers ordered! That is condifential information!" he/she exclaims. The two of you leave the Interrogation Table and the Porter rips out the order from his/her notepad and tosses it off the John Bull, sets down his/her notepad, and leaves. Grab the notepad, then use the pencil to try to find an imprint on the the Porter's Notepad. I f you do, you find out that Twain had asked for a bicarbonate of soda and that Weisz wanted water. But most most importantly, you'll find that Nikola Tesla ordered prune juice, and because of that, the clue Spilled Prune Juice will dissapear and you will earn the clue Nikola Tesla Ordered Prune Juice.

The Coal Hard Facts
But then you remember that Tesla has locked himself in his cabin, so you decide to check his luggage. Head right to get there. When you arrive, you notice that the suitcase nametagged with Tesla has coal smudges all over it. Use the magnifying glass to collect the clue Coal Smudges, but as you do, an offscreen Poptropican tosses a pair of scissors at you. You grab the scissors, and maybe you should investigate there later. Run right to the only person you know has coal on him: The Coal Man. Bring him to the Interrogation Table and ask him about the Coal Smudges. "Okay, okay! I did leave to get a snack, and that's when the train stopped, but I didn't go near the luggage, you can ask the Porter!" he confesses. And he does, Coal Smudges dissapears and a new clue, Coal Man Left for a Snack appears. Since the Coal Man told you to ask the Porter, go ahead and do so. Although, the Porter is now at the left of VIP Car 2. When you reach him/her, bring him/her to the Interrogation Table and ask him/her that the Coal Man Left for a Snack. The Porter points out that he was getting a snack, and since he was, he couldn't have stopped the John Bull, and thus, Coal Man Left for a Snack dissapears.

Poptropican in Porter's Clothing
Now run to the right into the Luggage Car, where you'll find Mondeau hanging around. Talk to her, and she'll suggest that since you look like the Porter, you could dress up like him/her to get into Tesla's cabin. But where to get a Porter outfit (you can't costumize with him/her). To the right of the Luggage Car is the Porter Closet, the Porter's closest thing to a home. Inside, to the left, is a hung up Porter Outfit. Pick it up, and then put it on. After you're done putting on the Porter's outfit, head out and right to Tesla's cabin, knock, and Tesla will let you in. When you're in, pick up the jug of prune juice on the table at the left of the door. Then walk over and click on Tesla. He'll ask you three times to fill his cup, then he will need to go to the bathroom. While he's gone, check everything at least once, and you'll find the Luggage Key. Then Tesla will come back, and he will tell you to leave.

Case Closed?
Head to the Luggage Car, and use the Luggage Key to open the suitcase nametagged with Tesla, and inside you will find the Motion Capture Device! Click on it, and your Poptropican will come out if the case and exclaim, "The device is in Tesla's trunk! He's the thief!" Mondeau, who is still hanging around, races off to inform a security guard, a Pinkerton Security Guard. Soon a Pinkerton Guard appears forcing tied up Nikola Tesla, who tries to say that he is innocent, into the Coal Car. After them comes the Porter, who tells you to bring the recovered device to Thomas Edison. In his cabin, Edison refuses to believe that Tesla is the thief, and remembers that he left the Motion Capture Device on. Together you and Edison watch footage on the device intil to find Tesla on the other side of the John Bull, without the device!

The Mystery Continues
When you exit the footage, you earn a picture of Tesla on the other side of the train, and the clue Grainy Picture. Then you & Edison realize that the real thief is still on the loose, and Edison suggests trying to talk to Tesla, because he may know something helpful. Like I said before, Tesla is now in the Coal Car. Go far right, next to the enterance to the Coal Car, and you'll find that a Pinkerton Gaurd is blocking the way in. Talk to him, and you'll gain the clue Pinketon Blocking the Way. So go into the Luggage Car and you'll see that a door at the top of the area is open. Jump up through it, and you'll be on top of the train. Now you need to get to an opening at the right that leads to the Coal Car. To do that, you'll need to jump from car to car, ducking under tunnels and jumping over lights (you'll know they're coming because there will be red flashes on the right). If you can make it without falling, you'll land in the Coal Car.

Talks with Tesla
There you'll see chained-up Tesla. Ask him if you can help him, and he'll ask for something to write with. So give him the pencil, and he'll give you a sketch of his cabin, instructing you to check and see if anything is different. So exit the Coal car and check Tesla's cabin, and when you've found the difference, click examine on the cabin sketch, then click use. Use the pencil to circle the difference: Tesla's briefcase is open. Then use the open door at the top of the train to return to Tesla and tell him that his breifcase is open. He seems terrifiedat the news, and you ask him why. "That briefcase contained my most important invention! The Fair can't go on without it!" Then ask him how someone got in the case, and he'll has no idea, because the key is around his neck! Then you'll unlock the clue Open Briefcase.

The Truth about Weisz
Leave the Coal Car and visit the cabin of Erik Weisz. At the Interrogation Table, ask him about the Open Briefcase. "That lock looks like it was picked by an expert." Weisz says, looking proud, "No, I don't know anyone like that. Excuse me." That'll give you the clue Erik Weisz's Odd Behavior. Now exit and head left for the N.Y. Times Reporter. Bring him to the Interrogation Table and ask him about Erik Weisz's Odd Behavior. He'll agree that something bothering him about Weisz, and gives you a N.Y. Times article. Read it, and you'll find out who Weisz really is, and you will get the clue Erik Weisz's True Identidy. Head back to Weisz's cabin, but he's not there, but you will find a Lock Pick Bag. Pick it up, and Weisz will walk in. "I know who you really are, Mr. Houdini."your Poptropican says, "And I found this bag of lock picks in your cabin!"

Saving Houdini
"You've found my true identidy," sneers Weisz, "But can you catch me?" Then he jumps up a ceiling door like the one in the Luggage Car. Jump up there too, and confront him, but he'll run left intil he falls into the Freight Car. Follow him, and when your Poptropican lands, you'll see a item with a large cloth drapped over it with a rope tying the cloth, but the item suddenly speaks, "Blub, blub." Use your scissors to cut the rope and drop the cloth, and you will find Weisz trapped in his own famous water tank, but he can't escape! Click use on your Lock Pick Bag and then you will notice four locks, which all lock in Weisz, also on the left side you'll notice a bar with Weisz in water, but the water is sinking. That shows has much time you have intil Weisz runs out of air. Choose whatever lock you want, they're all almost the same. Just match the shapes of the lock gears with the shape on the pick, and use it to push the bottom of the square on top of the lock gear to the red line. Once all the lock gears are in place, that lock becomes unlocked. When you finish unlocking all the locks (in time) you'll save Weisz and confront him as the thief. But Weisz will prove himself innocent and tell you that Tesla is hiding something, and if you find out what it is, you'll be close to uncovering the thief, then Weisz disappears in a cloud of smoke, and you gain the clue Nikola Tesla is Hiding Something.

Transformer is Prime
It's no mystery about what to do next. Just go into the Luggage Car, get onto the roof, race across the cars, land in the Coal Car, and confront Tesla about hiding something. He'll agree that if free him from his chains, he'll talk. So use your Lock Pick Bag to free the Poptropican, just like Weisz, but there is no time. When you have finished, Tesla will tell you about his invention, the Trasformer, his invention that was in his briefcase, a device that can power the Ferris Wheel. Ask him why someone would want to steal it, and Tesla points out, "Egotistic fools - No one wants to be upstaged by the Wheel!" Then you unlock the clue Transformer and get a sketch of Tesla's creation. Now, head to Twain's cabin, bring him to the Interrogation Table, and ask him about the Transformer. Twain will then tell you that perhaps a mysterious Poptropican in the last car, which is guarded by Pinkerton Guards, may be able to help you. And then you get the clue Mysterious Fellow in Last Car.

Solving the Crime
Head left to a car named in the map as Pinkerton Security. Usually, there is a Pinketon Guard guarding the place, but now he's asleep. But he's set off a chain to wake him up someone comes, but there is one way through. First jump on top of the boxes to the top floor, then jump on the top floor. Jump over the first possible way down, but head down the second. Then just head left, down one more floor, and past the snoozing guard & Coco. Head left intil you see President Grover Cleveland, a moustached Poptropican wearing navy blue that is standing by a calkboard. Ask him, "You've been trying to solve this mystery too?" and he'll say that he has almost all the pieces to finish the mystery, but you have the remaining pieces. Then he brings you to the Interrogation Table, which has all the clues you've earned, then he begins the story: "When the lights went out, Nikola Tesla was peeping through Edison's door while holding . . ." This is one part that Pres. Cleveland needs help with. Click on the clue A Glass of Prune Juice, and Pres. Cleveland will continue. "A Glass of Prune Juice. When he heard Edison coming back, he ran, sloshing the juice over the sides of his glass." Then you add a comment, "So he didn't steal the device. He was only curious about it." Then Pres. Claeveland continues on, "The thief then snuck into the Coal Car and hit the brakes, causing a distraction. The thief then took the device to the Luggage Car - Hence the . . ." Now choose the clue Coal Smudges, and the President will go on, "Coal Smudges on the trunk." Again, your Poptropican cuts in, "Wait. How did the thief get into Tesla's trunk? The key was still in his cabin!" Cleveland starts again, "Or was it? Perhaps the thief switched nametags between his own trunk and Tesla's. When the train stopped, the thief could have snuck outside and thrown the . . ." Click on the clue Key so the President can continue. "Key into Tesla's cabin. The trunk you thought was Tesla's was the thief's all along!" You can't help but ask this question, "Why go to all this trouble for something the thief didn't even want?" Cleveland answers like this, "That's just it! It was easy enough for the thief to access Tesla's cabin. Much harder to get at the thing Tesla never lets out of his sight, not ever when he went to the bathroom: His . . ." Now choose the clue Briefcase, then Pres. Cleveland will go on, "Briefcase." You cut in another time to say, "So the thief took Edison's Motion Capture Device as a distraction." Next goes Pres. Cleveland "Precisely. the thief's real goal, all along, was . . ." For your last clue clicked, click the clue Tesla's Transformer, then the President continues, "Tesla's Transformer." Now, to finish up your talk, you and Cleveland will realize that if the thief switched nametags in the Luggage Car, you can look in 'Tesla's' trunk, you may find something that can narrow down the suspects to one: the real thief.

The Last Twist of the Tracks
Now race to the Luggage Car and use the Luggage Key to open 'Nikola Tesla's' trunk and pull away a sheet in the trunk to reveal French stuff. "So the thief must be from France!" you realize, and you collect the last clue in the Island, French Items in Trunk. Go a bit right, and you'll find George Ferris again. At the Interrogation Table, ask him of the French Items in Trunk, and he'll gasp that Eiffel is trying sabotage him. Leave the Table and to the right, confront Eiffel at the Interrogation Table that the French Items in Trunk are his. "It's true: I'm French." agrees Eiffel, "But you'll overlooked one very important detail. This is a lady's hankerchief." You then realize once and for all who the thief is. . . Mademoiselle Mondeau! You leave the Interrogation Table just in time to see the train screech to a hault. "The train has stopped. We have arrived at the Fair." Eiffel tells you, "She may be trying to destroy the Tranformer! You must stop her!"

All's Fair that Ends Fair
Suddenly, you appear out of the John Bull at the Fair. Go left intil you see Mondeau. There she reveals to you her plan. To keep Paris and its World Fair on top, Mondeau took the Tranformer, there for, the Ferris Wheel can't work, and Paris and its World's Fair will stay on top. Then the France-Loving Reporter will race to the left. Follow her, and you'll see Mondeau manuplating the Chicago Police into thinking that you're a bad guy. To escape the Police, jump up a ladder, and when they're fed, jump on three lion's head to a platform. Next make your Poptropican bounce on five canopies, over juggled obsticles, intil you land on another platform. Wait for a Charmed Cobra to doze down, jump on the basket lid on its head, then jump up to a narrow pathway and go left. Drop down and you'll watch a bit of the Persian Palace Bellydancers, then excuse yourself. Go left to the very edge, and you'll Mondeau manuplating more Police, then she runs leftwards again. Now jump from the canopy to the closest totem pole, and jump from totem to totem intil you reach the last one. When you make it to the last totem, you'll jump to the top, but the Police will push over the totem, and like dominoes, all the other totems fall too. Now quickly go left, and you'll see Mondeau climbing up the Wheel to escape you. Then it starts to rain and lightning, but don't mind that. Now use stringed lights and Wheel cars to climb up the Ferris Wheel intil Mondeau pushes a large box on your car, pushing you down. But on top of the car is a hung-up rope. Use it to swing to the other side of the Wheel, and continue climbing up intil Mondeau shouts, "Say goodbye to Tesla's Transformer!" And tosses the invention off the Wheel. Now, quickly jump up to another hung-up rope and use it to swing across the other side of the Ferris Wheel, and on the way, you'll grab the Transformer. When you make it to the other side, jump off and climb up more intil you confront Mondeau. She'll tell you not to take a step forward, but then a scarily close lightning strike will knock the thief off her feet and she will fall off the Ferris Wheel, landing in Weisz's water tank. Jump to the ground and you'll find that Weisz arrived to help you finish off Mondeau. Next is George Ferris. Give him the Transformer, then talk to Pres. Cleveland, and he'll give you the medallion for Mystery Train Island along with 100 Poptropica credits. When you exit that, you will see that the Chicago World's Fair turned out great. Congratulations, you've completed Mystery Train Island!
