The victim had a passport and left it in his hotel room. I believe it was on a table.\n\n[[Back to Part 3.|3]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

If one of the agents searched the body initially ("look at" body) they should have a keycard for the victim's hotel room. Head there and have a look for something useful.\n\n[[I need more hints. Spoil me.|IFPID2]]\n\n[[Back to Part 3.|3]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

There is a phone book at a payphone on B street. Use it and look for the name.\n\n[[I still need a dime. Spoil me.|SPD]]\n[[I found daylight and I still need help.|SR]]\n\n[[OK, back to the chapter list.|C]]\n

So, I believe the dime is found randomly on A, B or Main streets. You need to switch to the above ground character. It is shiny and looks like a couple of bright pixels against the background. \n\n[[Then what?|SPDG]]\n[[I still need a phone number. Spoil me.|SPP]]\n[[I found daylight and I still need help.|SR]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

You need toilet paper from the Quickie Pal bathroom. (Enter from outside. Once in the bathroom, it's on the right hand wall.)\n\n[[What do I do next?|BBT2]]\n\n[[Back to Part 3.|3]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

Head back to the body and use the toilet paper on it. \n\n[[Back to Part 3.|3]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

People saw Willie's wallet, covered in blood. \n\n[[I need another hint.|BW2]]\n\n[[Back to Part 3.|3]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

Willie will give you his wallet, but he needs somewhere to keep his money. He will tell you his preference for a new wallet, as exchange.\n\n[[I need another hint.|BW3]]\n\n[[Back to Part 3.|3]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

Did you check Ransome's noticeboard in his caravan? (Again, after the flashback.)\n\n[[I need another hint.|BW4]]\n\n[[Back to Part 3.|3]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

Ransome has had some of his merch delivered, so take the postal slip to the post office, give it to the postal worker and open the package. \n\n[[I need another hint. Spoil me.|BW5]]\n\n[[Back to Part 3.|3]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

Ransome still won't jump because he needs a spotter. \n\n[[I need more hints. Spoil me.|RLLCJB7]]\n\n[[Back to Part 6.|6]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

My kids loved this puzzle. They do gymnastics. (They appreciated both needing a spotter and the difficulty of Ransome's trick.)\n\nSo, Ransome needs someone to stand next to him to keep him safe while he jumps. \n\nBring Delores to the location and then he can use the trampoline.\n\nJust click "pick up" on the page when you are close enough to it. \n\n[[What was I doing this for again?|WHAT]]\n\n[[Back to Part 6.|6]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

These hints are for the starting area, after you walk down to the lake and forest, under the bridge.\n\n[[What do I do?|PW]]\n[[I know what to do, I just can't do it.|PS]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

You need a human (possibly Delores, I used her) to place the book on the altar in the secret rune room. \n\nYou also need something living which is found in close proximity to the final resting place of the person you wish to visit. \n\n[[I need another hint.

You need to do a ritual in the secret rune room. Who would know about these things?\n\n[[I need another hint.|HOTP6]]\n\n[[Back to Part 4|4]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

Head to the occult bookstore on A street and look for something relevant. \n\n[[I need another hint.|HOTP7]]\n\n[[Back to Part 4|4]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

I found this before I needed it, so I don't know if there is a better hint. \n\nBut. You need The Book of the Dead from the very top of the ladder.

Can you give her what she wants to hear? Have you seen another radio about?\n\n[[I still need help.|M6]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

She's waiting for a call on her radio. Listen to what she says about it.\n\n[[I still need help.|M5]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

She keeps returning when you're trying to leave with the map. You need a copy from the machine.\n\n[[But I don't have 5c.|5]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

Go to the police station with one police agent, leave the other in Nickle News. Place a call with dialogue choices related to what she is waiting for. (I can't help further, it's different each time.)\n\n[[I still need a hint, though.|M7]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]\n

This was a long puzzle chain, it's true. \n\nRansome needs the joke book page to combine with his joke book. Once his joke book is complete, he can participate in the Ransome Lookalike Competition at ThimbleCon.\n\n[[Back to Part 6.|6]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

First, try looking at the posters you'll see around for ThimbleCon.\n\nTalk to the hotel manager, too.\n\n[[I need more hints.|WITCT1]]\n\n[[Back to Part 4|4]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

At some point in my game, probably when I needed it, the bank opened. \n\n(If it's not open, come back later.)\n\n[[I need another hint. Spoil me.|BBLW5]]\n\n[[Back to Part 4|4]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

Give the receipt stub to the bank manager and he will give you a cancelled cheque to give to the lawyer.\n\n[[Back to Part 4|4]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

So, the person dressed as a pizza slice gave you a flier for a secret meeting. (Or dropped it.)

The Ransome lookalike competition is at ThimbleCon! (far right)\n\nRansome needs his joke book before he will proceed. Where might he keep it?\n\n[[I need more hints.|RLLCJB]]\n\n[[Back to Part 6.|6]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

Yeah, totally.\n\nThe game has 5 playable characters. \n\nCharacters are added (to your top right roster) after Ray and/or Reyes have found them in the present (not in a flashback.) \n\nSo, go look for them first (where you think they should be.) \n\nThe following hints will tell you how to access characters, but you probably don't need to spoil yourself.

It may not be immediately obvious what you need to put into the slot next to the door. \n\nIt does make sense within the narrative, but maybe not yet.\n\nOne of the characters has given you a clue when you've looked at the item in your inventory.\n\n[[I need another hint.

The page is actually stuck on a pole/antenna right outside his caravan. \n\n(It is above the screen. I'm not sure if there is a way to see it. You may be able to look or such.

[[Skip the greeting and take me to the hints.|I]]\n\nHello!\n\nI'm Meghann O'Neill and I've been writing for [[PC Powerplay magazine, Australia,|https://www.pcpowerplay.com.au/]] for 10 years. I currently write up 4 pages on indie games per month, as well as a one page opinion column. \n\nI played the very first graphic adventure games, and I'm still playing several each month now. The genre has evolved, as has the way we receive hints. \n\nWhat sucks about being a game reviewer (for me)? Tight deadlines and having to spoil myself with a full hint via a YouTube Let's Play. \n\nWhat is the best way to get hints? From my dad. When I was a kid, he had a "friend at work" who was always somehow playing the same game as us. My dad always promised to ask this friend the following day, but refused to call them after hours. Delaying gratification. Always important. (He actually kept those magic marker hint books in his drawer.) \n\nBut, my dad is busy playing games and enjoying his retirement. So, what is the next best way to get hints? Personally, I always loved the gentle, subtle approach provided by [[UHS.|http://www.uhs-hints.com/about]] \n\nSo, as I reviewed Thimbleweed Park, on hard, ahead of time, and because I loved it so much, in part thanks to the two incredibly small hints that attentive PR person, Emily Morganti, gave me as I played, I want you to have access to the same experience at release, or soon after, if you want it.\n\nI will do my best not to spoil you. I'll just try to nudge you in the right direction. But, read this at your own risk.\n\nI won't include easter eggs, although I found a few.\n\nIf there are alternate paths through the game, I don't know them. \n\nI can't guarantee you'll have a question I haven't answered. I've done my best.\n\nAt the request of developers, I haven't provided hints for any of the ending section.\n\nThis hint guide will be released in a few stages, so as not to spoil the game too close to release.\n\n[[You Deserve Tiny Incremental Hints for Thimbleweed Park.|I]] Feel Welcome. \n\nContact me on [[Twitter|https://twitter.com/IndieGames_Muso]] with feedback or questions.\n

There is a chainsaw in the bushes to the left of the sewer entrance, to the right of the body. I think it's initial tooltip is something like, "something strange."

The hotel manager will give you a keycard for Franklin's room. Go into the room, then exit the room again. \n\n(Following this, you will trigger a cutscene.

When you need to copy a fingerprint (for example, to use in the FingerTron) you brush fine powder onto it by "using" the fingerprint kit. \n\nYou then "use" tape on the object you're getting the print from, to get the copy. \n\n[[I need some detecive equipment.|FFFD]]\n[[What is the murder weapon?|WMW]]\n[[Where is the murder weapon?|WWMW]]\n\n[[Back to Part 3.|3]]\n\n[[Back to the chapter list.|C]]

Which character is hard to gross out; hard to make disgusted? (Try every character. One will go in, I'm pretty sure.
