Heya' Islanders!
To celebrate the 14th anniversary of The Island, and also the final few parties on The Island, I am ranking EVERY major TI party! All 167 of them, not counting the ones we are celebrating from February - June 2025.
So! Let's get started, and what better way than to start off a ranking list with the very worst party of The Island?
Before we start, might I add how it blows my mind I'm even ranking 167 parties? When I first started working on The Island way back in February 2011, I never would of that I'd be here almost 14 years later doing such a thing, crazy! Anyway, let's start now!
167: April Fools' Party 2011
The worst party, in my opinion, was the April Fools' Party 2011. There may be no pictures available of this party, but all I know is that the Pet Store was the only room decorated, and that it was just a mess of colors, with red and white pennants. No items, not much to do, and overall just a forgettable event.
166: St. Patrick's Party 2011
Like the April Fools' Party 2011, this party has no available pictures. The Island held its first ever St. Patrick's Party in March 2011, a year before Stan Zavior's debut. Guess what the only decorated room was? You got it, the Pet Store! I don't even remember too well how the Pet Store was decorated, but if I recall, it had a small stage, was all green, and... Yeah. Again, not much to this party at all.
165: Gopper Party 2015
In September 2015, The Island had a bunch of Goppers take over! Zachary was able to be met, Fellys could adopt many new colors of Goppers, and party with their Goppers around The Island!
You may be wondering, why is this the worst party as of recent TI history? Goppers were very unpopular on The Island. The party was just pretty unpopular and had nothing special happening.
The one thing the Fellys truly enjoyed at the party was the Gopper transforming at the Arcade.
But that's about it. Overall, the party was just forgetful and is often considered one of the worst in modern history of TI.
164: Prehistoric Party: Iceberg Refreeze 2021
The story of the 2021 Prehistoric Party went as followed: Rain from the previous thunderstorm was too warm, so it ended up melting the Iceberg, and the only way to save it was to go back in time.
While there was not much to the party, Fellys could at least feel good knowing they went back in time and altered the Iceberg enough so it would never melt! Plus, we got to see how Island Central looked in prehistoric times.
Pretty cool! Also, like the Gopper Party, Fellys really enjoyed transforming into a Cyclops!
163: Iceberg Mysteries Party 2021
Two Iceberg themed parties in a row this quick in the list? You'd think the Iceberg wasn't a popular room at all, but no, it just turns out Fellys aren't that into parties surrounding it. Nevertheless, both Iceberg themed parties happened in 2021, with the first being arguably better than the previous.
At this time, the Iceberg received a huge makeover, with the entire layout looking much more like ice!
At the party, a large hole was dug in the middle, with the intention of retrieving a lost device!
What was this device, you ask? It just so happened to clone Dark Red Crabs, though, it ended up being stolen by Dusk.
Also, during the party, The Island's 2nd mission, "Under the Iceberg" released!
162: Pumpkin Harvest Party 2018
In September 2018 (Wow, September really doesn't have many popular parties now, does it?), Lando discovered Pumpkin Island, and encouraged the Restaurant to start serving pumpkin pie!
She was also kind enough to have us throw a huge pumpkin themed party, where Fellys could celebrate... Well, pumpkins!
While there wasn't much to do, Lando could be met at the party, and it at least got Fellys into the Halloween spirit for next month's Halloween Party!
161: Island-Con 2023
The Island's first ever party on the new website took place in January 2023, with it being Island-Con 2023!
Before the party, Fellys helped Piason retrieve pictures of the Sea Monster, that she would show off at this party!
Most mascots attended the event. The Bend Band also made a rare Winter appearance, signing autographs at Island Central. Steve Sailor (now known as Splash) even returned for the first time since November 2021, and Fellys could interview him on a big screen at the Marina.
Why is this party at 161 on this list? There wasn't much else to do. Yesterfesterfitz did allow his game show to be played at the Beacon Bay, and Zachary did answer questions at the Shopping Plaza, but other than that, not many rooms were decorated.
160: Crab Party 2021
In 2020, the Crab Party, much to the dismay of many Fellys, changed. Instead of the same Crab domain formula that had been followed since 2011 and even 2010. In 2021, I was planning on returning to Crab domains, however, unfortunately, I ended up losing all the files, so that version of the Crab Party 2021 remains lost.
The party was almost an exact copy of the 2020 due to there being no other option with such little time to work on the party. This party is worse than 2020's because it only lasted a week, didn't decorate as many rooms, and didn't introduce any new Crab, making this easily the worst Crab Party.
Though, that doesn't mean this party was THAT bad, it still had plenty of things to do! The water park returned to the Park, the Crab of the Year vote still happened, and it still featured plenty of colorful, cool decorations!
This Crab Party was certainly a little more Summer themed than the others, but Fellys wanted Crab domains! Good news, they'd eventually return the next year!
159: Hawaiian Party 2011
One of The Island's most memorable events was, well, not a very memorable one, or at least it wasn't intended to be!
The Island's only Hawaiian Party occurred in July of 2011, and Fellys could explore some cool looking decorations, with lots of Lei decorations surrounding exteriors and interiors!
Fake volcanos and mountains, limbos, and even a map of Hawaii, the Hawaiian Party definitely had a lot of cool decor.
Unfortunately, since The Island takes place on Nibiru and not Earth, this was the ONLY time a Hawaiian Party took place, though similar parties like the Heat Wave Festival and other Water Partys have happened very recently!
Oh, also, the earliest footage of The Island EVER (July 16th, 2011) was taken at this party!
158: Mountain Climb 2017
In the late 2010s, Mountain Climbs happened yearly in January/February, with most of them being the same. The biggest example of a complete carbon copy of the previous year's was the Mountain Climb 2017, with the only difference being less decorated rooms.
Of course, during the party, like all other Mountain Climbs, Fellys could... Well, climb the mountain!
Ever since the 2015 Mountain Climb, there were 9 different Mountain rooms to climb up, with 6 having puzzles!
This is probably considered the worst Mountain Climb, because, as stated above, it is pretty much an exact copy of 2016's.
157: Summer Party 2011
Going right back to the Summer of 2011, we have a two-phase party!
Unlike the Hawaiian Party 2011, Fellys were given plenty of spots to swim and cool off! During phase 2 of the party, an AC was placed at Island Central.
Other than that, there was not much to do at the party, but the Summer vibe definitely puts this at a nice 157 spot on the list!
156: St. Patrick's Party 2020
From March 17th - 24th, 2020, The Island celebrated St. Patrick's Day yet again! However, things were pretty different. The Island Central and Marina were decorated, whilst some indoor rooms had their 2012 decorations, and that was pretty much it.
This party was a completely downgraded version of 2019's St. Patrick's Party, and I don't remember why.
Well, at least Stan Zavior could be met.
155: Mountain Climb 2011
The very first Mountain Climb occurred from August 29th - September 1st, 2011, surprisingly not even in the Winter as most Fellys might think!
Fellys could head to the Marina to start climbing the mountain, a series of 4 rooms, featuring puzzles in 2 rooms. While there wasn't much to this party, it gets a bit of points for being the very first Mountain Climb, a party that is iconic on The Island.
Did you know that the Mountain Climb 2011 was also the very first party to include exclusive temporary party rooms?
154: Fellimpics 2012
A large party at the time was about to happen! Fellys trained a lot before the event began, and it did not disappoint! Well, unless you expected more than 5 rooms to be decorated.
The very first Fellimpic Games happened in August 2012, with plenty of events planned, but unfortunately, files were lost and the rest of the party was included. The party was originally going to be much bigger, with decorations at the Marina, Beach, Beacon Bay, Reef's Diner, etc, but with the party fast approaching after the files were lost, I had to resort to what was already done.
Fellys competed in each game to earn items, but there was not much else to do at the party, making it ranked 154 on the list.
153: School Party 2015
Nothing says back to school like the month of February!... Well, at least on The Island, that is. That's right, apparently School was back in session in February 2015.
Other than the boring decorations in a few rooms, the party did introduce permanent expanded rooms to the School!
But not only did the new rooms open, but a new game was introduced, located at the brand-new Classroom, called "Trivia Bash", where Fellys could earn the popular Smarty Pants item to showcase their knowledge!
152: The Patuna Gem Quest 2023
Team Desert VS Team Jungle competed for Blade to be the first to find the ultra-rare Patuna Gem!
Each team had their own HQ where they could plan out strategies on how to find the gem faster, or where other teammates could hang out with each other.
While Fellys planned out and represented their teams with facepaint, there was lots of work going on at the Shopping Plaza, which was completely transformed into a mining area!
Eventually, Team Desert found the Patuna Gem first, and Blade rewarded all the Islanders that tried to find the gem, including both teams, with 500 Islander Tokens! Did you notice that these parties are already starting to not sound so bad? If anything, these early parties up in this list only lack a lot of decorated rooms, or originality/interest.
151: The Golden Fish Quest 2018
In November 2018, Zachary held a quest similar to one in 2014 where Fellys could go deep into The Island's hills to find the Golden Fish!
Fellys had to find enough pieces of gold to build the Golden Key that would be used to unlock the area where we discovered the Golden Fish, and they could adopt their own!
Since the party took place in November, Splash held the annual Thanksgiving event, where Fellys could travel to his island and eat, as well as the other Thanksgiving festivities like the big table at Reef's Diner, the Gobbly transformation, and more!
The bonus event at the same time as the party really spruced it up a bit, making this the 151st best party on The Island!
150: Potion Party 2018
To end off the list for today, we are taking a look at the 150th best party: The Potion Party!
Another Blade experiment gone wrong, what a surprise! The Potion Party happened after every Felly fell in love! Yikes...
The Island was decorated as a love paradise, took place at night, but the only issue is... It didn't decorate that many rooms! But the interesting storyline, the uniqueness of the party, the chance to meet Blade in-game, etc, all made this enough to be number 150!
Stay tuned for the next part of this blog post coming in March!
Thanks for reading!
