How to Leave the Haunted House in "Poptropica"
The islands of Poptropica offer fantastical places to explore, mind-teasing puzzles, and hours of online fun and adventure. While on your journey through the virtual map of Poptropica, you have the chance to go on mini-quests to earn credits and unique prizes. One of the mini-quests takes you to a graveyard outside a haunted house. Once there, you have to perform specific tasks so that you can leave the haunted house and complete the quest. If you do, you'll get 50 Poptropica credits and your choice of costumes to wear at a Halloween party.

1
Catch the bat flying around the graveyard and grab the key from it. Use the key to unlock the door to the far left of the haunted house. This is the cellar door, and is the place to find the first item you will need to complete the quest.
-
2
Enter the cellar and look for the boiler and furnace. Rotate the pieces of pipe until they connect the boiler and furnace. Once they are connected, steam will disperse from the boiler. Jump up on the steam to get to the top of a platform. Pick up the bottle of poison you see on the platform. This is the second thing you will need on your quest.

Explore the other rooms in the haunted house to find the rest of the items you need and to complete the remaining tasks. First, go up to the second floor and look for a statue of a knight. Jump on the head of the knight holding a pick axe. When the axe drops, take it and go downstairs to the kitchen.

Enter the kitchen and open the refrigerator. Use the axe to chip away at the ice. You will now see the pieces of ice in your inventory -- you will need these to go to the Halloween party. You no longer need the axe.

Go to the top floor and look for the bedroom with the clocks and fireplace. The task in this room is to sync the two clocks so that they strike midnight at the same time. This is tricky part and may take a few trials. Place your cursor over one of the clocks to speed it up -- this will help you match the times. When the clocks strike midnight at the same time, an unlit lantern will appear in the fireplace. Take the lantern.

Move to the room next to the bedroom. Look for the small spider and click on it. This makes the spider drop down over a picture of a witch. This scares the picture of the witch, which makes the witch drop the broom. Go downstairs and get on the broom. You can now fly all over the haunted house.

Fly up to the attic and look for a chest. Click on it and arrange the pieces of the puzzle until you see an image of a skull. The chest will open and a gauntlet will come out. Grab the gauntlet and save it for the party.

Return to the cellar and look for a crate at the bottom left. On top of the crate is kerosene. Jump on the crate to grab the kerosene. This automatically lights the lantern.

9
Go to the kitchen and talk to the ghost of a cat. Follow his directions to find the statue of a crying girl outside of the house. Look for the hole next to the statue and climb down. There you will find a witch. If you give her all the items you found in the haunted house, in return you will receive 50 credits and a way to choose your costume for the party. Your mini-quest is complete.
