Alley (next to the diner):

If you walk to the back of the alley (optional), the agent will be hit over the head and abducted. You’ll lose control of that agent for approximately ten minutes, after which time they’ll show up in the sewer. In the meantime, you can keep playing as the other agent.

Escaping the sewer (if abducted):

• When you wake up in the sewer, you can exit to left or to tunnel in the back wall.

• Go through the back tunnel. There’s a ladder in this room and a dime on the floor.

• Pick up the dime.

• Climb up and you’ll see the QuickiePal store outside the grate. You can’t escape this way.

• If you have the cellphone, it won’t work in the sewers, no signal.

• Leave the ladder room, walk to the left through the room you woke up in.

• Next, go left. This leads you to an area with a locked gate, there is no way to open this gate so proceed further to the left.

• In this room you will discover a phone and some graffiti on the wall.

• Open the pay phone. The phone requires the dime and the graffiti gives an indication that someone is available to help you. Take note of the name on the wall.

• Switch to the other agent.

• Walk down B Street until you reach the pay phone. Look at the phone book and locate the name from the sewer wall. Remember the phone number (names are alphabetical by first name).

Bus Station (B Street):

The bus station is at the very end of B Street. Talk to Lenore here — she has some information on the identity of the killer which will trigger the Delores flashback.

• Re-enter the mansion and return to Delores’ room.

• (At some point after this, the doorbell will ring — go answer it.)

• Use the computer to apply to MmucasFlem for a job.

• The printer’s out of ink!

• Exit Delores’ room. Walk to the very right of the hallway and enter the furthest room (Chuck’s workshop).

• Talk to Chuck and ask about new printer ribbons. He says he just re-inks them.

• Pick up the full ink bottle from the desk.

• Leave the workshop. You can either walk all the way back to the far left side of the great Mansion mansion hallway, or experiment with Opening its doors to find a shortcut.

• After Delores has opened the letter take it back to Chuck’s workshop.

• Talk to Chuck about the letter to end the flashback.

Vista (to the very right side of Main Street, past the QuickiePal and up the winding path):

If you attempt to proceed past the vista, the sheriff will stop you. To explore past the vista you need to locate a map.

Finding a Map

• First try the QuickiePal. Unfortunately the sheriff seems to have removed all the maps from the map holder.

• Walk to the Nickel News on A Street. Go inside and Talk to Natalie to find out about Chuck.

• When the conversation has ended, attempt to interact with the map on the wall. Since Natalie won’t allow you to remove the map, we need to find a way to get rid of her.

• Try interacting with the PoliceTron 3000™ to hear that Natalie is waiting for a call from the sheriff’s office about a potential news story. Remember the details, they’re important.

• Switch to the other agent and go to the sheriff’s office. Use the PoliceTron on the desk to make a false report that matches with what Natalie is expecting to hear. If Natalie leaves the Nickel, you have chosen the correct story. If not, try again.

• When Natalie has left the Nickel, switch back to the agent inside the Nickel and Pick up the map.

• (If you try leaving with the wall map, Natalie will return and stop you, so you’ll have to make another PoliceTron call to get her to leave again.)

• Use the map on the CopyTron 3000™.

• Pick up the map copies (there are four of them) from the side of the CopyTron. If you want, you can return the wall map to its frame on the wall.

• Return to the Vista and the sheriff will again stop you. Show him the map. He’ll let you pass.

• You only need one map. Give the extra copies to the other agent, Delores, and Ransome when you next see them.

• Seasoned Adventure Pro Hint: If you Use map, you’ll be able to quickly traverse most of Thimbleweed Park County, even moving between points inside of the town.

• The map will also appear whenever you exit any of the other main areas in Thimbleweed Park, like the circus, Mansion mansion, factory, etc.

Part 3: The Arrest

Thimbleweed Park Hotel (Map):

Either Use the map or walk into the countryside from the Vista and go to the Thimbleweed Park Hotel. Walk through the front doors and you’ll find Natalie again. Find out what you can. This will trigger the Franklin flashback.

Franklin Flashback

• Look at Franklin’s To Do list.

• Walk Franklin through the front doors and across the lobby to the hotel manager.

• Franklin can’t get a room without raising suspicion. You’re going to need a disguise. There’s a cool kid with a boombox to the far right of the lobby.

• He won’t be able to hear you, so Use boombox to turn it off.

• Talk to the kid. Find out what motivates him. Then convince him you’re cool and current on the latest and greatest.

• After he thinks you’re cool, Give him one of your prototype bear pillows in exchange for his nose glasses. He’ll also throw in some used chewing gum as a bonus.

• Use the nose glasses to put them on. Then Talk to the hotel manager and get a room.

• Ask about photocopying your prospectus.

• Use the elevator and go to your room. Use the keycard to get in. This triggers a phone call cutscene.

• Use the chewed, sticky bubble gum on the HôtelTron.

• Pick up the hotel stationery from the desk and Use it on the HôtelTron (or the gum).

• That’s the right idea, but it alerts Chuck to something being amiss.

• The hotel manager said the 10th floor was under construction, installing the HôtelTrons. Take the elevator to the 10th floor.

• From the stand near the elevator, Pick up the standard room photo example.

• Return to your room. Use the standard room photo on the HôtelTron.
