Playing notes:
Not everything needs to be done in the way I describe... Some things
can be done earlier, and some later... But what the heck... why should
you... ;-)
Also, this solution doesn't give all of the 342 points... 1 solution
gave me 326 points, while the other gave me 336 points... I think you
you can get more points by asking everybody about everything... But
who cares...
And now... Here it goes...
Day 1
-----
Problem:

Hint:
Every morning read the paper by the coffeepot for hints on things to do every
day. On the table you can find a magnifying glass and tweezers. On the top left
shelf of the bookshelves on the back wall you can find a book by "Heinz
Ritter". On the right top shelf of the bookshelves there is a book on Snakes.
Read both books. On the book shelf under the window you can find a
German/English dictionary. Open the cash register and get a gift certificate.
Use the "Question" icon on Grace, and ask her for messages. This will put the
Police Station and Grandma Knight's place on your map. Later in the day, you
will need to ask Grace to do some research on Malia Gedde. (This triggers the

time someone walks close enough he will follow them, so avoid other people if
you can. Once you get him to follow you, go to the motorcycle cop. The mime
will make fun of the cop and the cop will chase him out of the picture. When
the cop is gone, use the "operate" icon on his motorcycle radio. This will give
you the "Crime Scene" on your greater New Orleans Map.

come in to take the photo. At this point use the dialogue choice to leave the
room, (Hold on a sec while I go check my hair.) Once you leave, take the file
out of the in box at officer Franks desk, and make a photo copy. (This puts
veve copy in your inventory.) Then go back in for your picture with Mosely. If
you steal the file, officer Franks will no longer talk with you.

Malia while she is hanging in the pit. Either choice will lead you to The End.
