Villainous nightmare creatures have escaped from the Realm of Dreams and placed
all of Skylands under a terrible sleep spell.
You and the Skylanders now have the amazing ability to capture the villains
and return them to Skylands to fight for you! Begin the ultimate 3D adventure
as you explore Skylands in search of the escaped villains!

PORTAL
OF POWER™
To begin Skylanders Trap Team, you will need to
prepare your Portal of Power. First, please install
batteries into the Portal of Power. To turn on your
Portal of Power, press on the top until it clicks and
the Portal of Power lights up.
You can use the Portal of Power to bring your
Skylanders to life by visiting the portal in the
Eternal Archives. When prompted, aim the rear
facing infrared transceiver of the Nintendo 3DS or
Nintendo 2DS system at the front facing infrared
sensor on the Portal of Power. Look for the green
arrow on the top of the Portal of Power to help
you line it up.
You can place one figure on the Portal of Power at a time. Figures include a playable
character or a Magic Item or a Location Piece (each sold separately). To play
Skylanders Trap Team you will need a Portal of Power and at least two Skylanders
figures as they are required to start a new profile and to complete the tutorial.
Skylanders from Skylanders Trap Team™, Skylanders SWAP Force™, Skylanders Giants™,
and Skylanders Spyros Adventure™ can all be used in Skylanders Trap Team.
For easy mobility, the Portal of Power can be powered off and the Skylanders who
have entered the game through the Portal of Power can be swapped into play at any
time using the menu located on the Touch Screen.
SAVING YOUR SKYLANDERS STATS
Your Skylander figures remember all of their powers and upgraded abilities via
the Portal of Power. Entering the Eternal Archives will allow you to save your
