lamp twice to get a close-up view of the bulb. Take the bulb using
the hand cursor.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
I've just seen Olympia walk past the Rodin sculpture, "The
Thinker," then disappear from the next room. I'm wondering how she
did that! Why do some people seem to disappear in some rooms?
Hint:
Closely examine the back of the Rodin sculpture's head using your
magnifying glass. You'll discover a tiny hinge on the back of the neck
of the statue. Use the hand cursor on the front of the head. Walk
through the archway on the right-hand side of the screen and you'll

open the painting above his fireplace. Behind the painting is a wall
safe. The combination to the safe is in the phone list on his desk
under the heading "B. SAYFF."

Thumb through the book and you'll find Yvette's garter and a note.
Read the note. Also try pushing the button hidden behind the framed
medals on the wall.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
Help! I keep getting eaten by a bunch of beetles in the Mammalogy Lab.
Hint:
To avoid being eaten by the beetles in the Mammalogy Lab, first get a

examine the contents of the trunk without getting eaten by the beetles.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
What what should I do in the Preservation Lab?
Hint:
There are two things to do in the Preservation lab. First, pick up the
bottle of snake oil from the table in front of the room. Second,

later on you'll be able to attend if you're wearing the proper attire.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:

---------------------------------------------
Problem:
How do I get a password for the speakeasy?
Hint:
You can get a password from the desk sergeant at the police station.
To do this, give him a corned-beef sandwich from Luigi's. Then select
the ask cursor from the Icon Bar and use it on him to find out about the
speakeasy. He'll tell you the password is "Charleston." Go to the
speakeasy and tell the bouncer at the door that you know the secret
word. To give him the password, use the ask cursor on the door and
select "Charleston" from the misc. section of your notepad.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
Who should I speak to in the speakeasy?

When you were at your desk in the news room, Crodfoller told you about
a stool pigeon named Ziggy. Speak to Ziggy. He's sitting alone at the
first table.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
What can I do in the trash-filled taxi?

conversations. Learn all the characters' names and pay attention to
what they say. After all, you never know what someone might
accidentally reveal. Visit the buffet table to pick up a water glass.
You can use the water glass to eaves-drop behind closed office doors
throughout the museum during Acts 3 and 4. You can also visit the gift
shop and examine the fine selection of gift items there.
---------------------------------------------

Is there anything in the gift shop of importance?
Hint:
When you enter the gift shop, take a look at each of the fake
daggers on display. Use your magnifying glass to examine each of the
daggers carefully. One of these is the stolen Dagger of Amon Ra.
Unfortunately, as soon as you discover it, you're ushered out of the
room by Wolf Heimlich. Perhaps you can get it later. Check this display
case later in the game.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
I've found an ankh medallion. Is it important?

office. Go to the Egyptian exhibit room and take a look around.
Visit Rex the talking dinosaur and take a look at the hands-on
dinosaur bone display. This will get you started.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
I'm in Dr. Carrington's office but I can't find anything useful.
Hint:
Look in the fireplace and remove the piece of charcoal. This will help
you with your investigation.
---------------------------------------------

I'm in Yvette's office and can't find found anything useful.
Hint:
There are two important clues in Yvette's office. Take a look in her
trash can and discover the piece of carbon paper. You can hold this
carbon paper up to the lamp in her office to read it. Also take a look
at the lamp on her desk and remove the light bulb. To do this, first
use the eye cursor on the lamp to get a close-up view of the lamp. Next,
use the hand cursor to turn the lamp off. To let the bulb cool down,
exit her office for a moment then return. Use the eye cursor on her
lamp twice to get a close-up view of the bulb. Take the bulb using
the hand cursor.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
I've just seen Olympia walk past the Rodin sculpture, "The
Thinker," then disappear from the next room. I'm wondering how she
did that! Why do some people seem to disappear in some rooms?
Hint:
Closely examine the back of the Rodin sculpture's head using your
magnifying glass. You'll discover a tiny hinge on the back of the neck
of the statue. Use the hand cursor on the front of the head. Walk
through the archway on the right-hand side of the screen and you'll
discover a secret spiral staircase leading downstairs. Be careful of
that first step, though. There are also several secret tunnels
running throughout the museum. One tunnel leads from Heimlich's office
to Dr. Carrington's office. To access this tunnel, press the button
hidden behind the framed medals on Wolf's wall. Another tunnel leads
from Olympia's office to the alcohol preservation lab. To access this

wall.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
What should I do? I've discovered a dead body in Dr. Carrington's
office!
Hint:
Examine the two letters "CP" in blood on Carrington's desk. These
letters stand for "Crime and Punishment," one of the books on
Carrington's shelves. Find the book and open it. You can also listen
to conversations using the intercom system on his desk. You can also
open the painting above his fireplace. Behind the painting is a wall
safe. The combination to the safe is in the phone list on his desk
under the heading "B. SAYFF."
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
What clues should I look for in Ernie Leach's office?
Hint:
In Ernie's office, there are three important items to look for. Look
at the "alcoholic index" notepad on Ernie's desk and note which vat

of wire cutters in Ernie's toolbox. Finally, look under his desk and
find the snake lasso.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
I've found Ernie Leach's body in the Mastodon room. What should I do?

warthog hairs on his shirt.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
What should I do in the Old Masters Gallery?
Hint:
Examine the works of Anonymous Bosch. One of his paintings depicts a
skeleton holding a key. Actually, a real key has been glued over

from Ernie's toolbox to remove the key.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
What should I do in Wolf Heimlich's office?
Hint:
Take the cheese from the rat trap on the floor in front of his desk. Use
either the dinosaur bone from the Tyrannosaurus Rex room or the
Snake Lasso from Ernie's office to safely trigger the trap. Also
examine the books on his shelf until you find a book of poetry.
Thumb through the book and you'll find Yvette's garter and a note.
Read the note. Also try pushing the button hidden behind the framed
medals on the wall.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
Help! I keep getting eaten by a bunch of beetles in the Mammalogy Lab.
Hint:
To avoid being eaten by the beetles in the Mammalogy Lab, first get a
slab of meat from the icebox in there. Immediately after you open the
steamer trunk, throw the slab of meat into it. Now you can safely
examine the contents of the trunk without getting eaten by the beetles.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
What what should I do in the Preservation Lab?
Hint:
There are two things to do in the Preservation lab. First, pick up the
bottle of snake oil from the table in front of the room. Second,
after visiting Ernie's office and examining the "alcoholic index"
on his desk, you should overhear a message on his intercom about the
valve being plugged on Vat Number Thirteen. Find Vat Number Thirteen in
the lab and climb the ladder. This is the second vat on the left-hand
wall. After skimming the contents of the vat, you should find the
Dagger of Amon Ra.

ACT FOUR -|- Museum of the Dead
---------------------------------
Problem:
I'm in the hall with the statue of "the Thinker". Where do I go from
here?

to listen.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
It looks like a struggle may have taken place in Yvette's office!

fabric, and the red hairs. Now go to the Old Masters Gallery and look
for anything suspicious.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
I'm in the Old Masters Gallery. What should I do with the freshly
plastered statue?

pterodactyl on Ziggy's corpse. This piece of wire will come in handy
later in the game.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
Should I do anything in the Armor Room?
Hint:
Take a look at the dog armor. Beside the armor is an old work boot.
That looks like Steve's boot, doesn't it? Better pick it up. It will
be useful later in the game.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
How do I avoid being bitten by the cobra?
Hint:
Use snake oil three times on the cobra and you'll back him into a
corner. Now use the snake lasso to pick him up. Finally, to put him
back in his cage, use the hand cursor on the cobra's cage in the left
rear corner of the room.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
I keep running out of snake oil!
Hint:
To corner the snake in Olympia's office, you need to shake the snake
oil three times at it. Therefore, you may need to refill your snake
oil bottle. To do this, go to the preservation lab and use the snake
oil bottle on the container on top of the table in the front of the lab.

wall. Exit through the mummy case into the Sun Worshipper/Sphinx
ceremonial room.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
What are the answers to the riddles in the Sun Worshippers room?
Hint:
The answer to the first riddle is "womb." The answer to the second

symbol out of the way. Now you can safely exit the room.
---------------------------------------------

in the Medieval Armor Room. Now he won't be hurt by any dangerous nails
in there.
---------------------------------------------

How can I get out of the furnace safely?
Hint:
Go through the second opening at the top of the tunnel. You will
safely exit through the talking dinosaur's mouth in the Tyrannosaurus
Room.
---------------------------------------------
Problem:
