Invisiclues

At The Shanty, 8:30 a.m.

Johnny wants me to join him. What should I do?

1. This is the first exciting thing to happen to you in weeks.
2. Go along with him.
3. Anyhow, there's no way to continue the story if you don't join up with him.

At the Lighthouse

What time do I have to be at the lighthouse?

1. If you didn't accept Johnny's offer at The Shanty, don't bother coming to the lighthouse. The deal has been called off.
2. Otherwise, be at the lighthouse at 9:30 a.m.

Johnny showed me the dinner plate. What should I do?

1. Type EXAMINE THE DINNER PLATE.
2. Have you read your shipwreck book?
3. There's only one wreck listed that used to be owned by the Hollywood Cruise Lines.
4. So you know that you have to salvage the Leviathan.

Johnny showed me the china teacup. What should I do?

1. Show him the teabag that Pete the Rat gave you.
2. You haven't found the tea bag yet? That's not surprising, since there isn't any tea bag in this story.
3. Furthermore, there isn't any teacup.

Johnny showed me the gold coin. What should I do?

1. Have you tried typing EXAMINE THE COIN?
2. Did you read your shipwreck book?
3. There is only one Portuguese wreck listed in the book.
4. So you know you have to salvage the São Vera.

Johnny showed me the Chile con Carne recipe. What should I do?

1. Don't let Pete the Rat prepare it, whatever you do!
2. Chile con Carne recipe?
3. You must be daydreaming! There's no Chile con Carne recipe in this story.

Okay, I know which wreck to salvage. What now?

1. Play it cool. You don't need to tell anyone yet.
2. Wait until someone asks you for the wreck's depth...
3. ...and no one will ask you for this yet. Be patient.
4. Johnny will ask you for the depth at a later meeting. There's nothing more you can do here.

I got killed at the lighthouse. What went wrong?

1. Did you have your passbook with you at the time?
2. You did? Did you notice someone following you?
3. You did? Was it McGinty?
4. Yes? McGinty saw your passbook and got suspicious, so he followed you.
5. And you know the rest of the story.
6. You don't need to bring your passbook to the lighthouse.

At Point Lookout

What time should I be at Point Lookout?

1. It you didn't go to the meeting at the lighthouse, don't bother coming to this one. The deal has been called off.
2. Otherwise, get to Point Lookout at 10:45 a.m.

Johnny wants to see the money. What do I do?

1. If you have it, show it to him.
2. If you don't have it, you're dead.

Johnny wants to know if the treasure is deeper than 200 feet. What should I tell him?

1. It depends on what he showed you at the lighthouse.
2. If he showed you the plate, then you'll be salvaging the Leviathan.
3. If he showed you the coin, then you'll be salvaging the São Vera.
4. Check the map in the book of shipwrecks for the depth of the wreck you'll be salvaging.
5. Tell Johnny whether it's deeper than 200 feet.

At The Shanty, 11:45 a.m.

Should I attend this meeting?

1. You weren't invited, were you?
2. Do you usually go to meetings uninvited?
3. Nothing important happens at this meeting.
4. Skip it. You don't need to be there.

At the Ferry Landing

I wasn't invited to a meeting at the ferry. What meeting?

1. The one you weren't invited to.
2. It takes place at the ferry landing at noon.
3. It's a secret meeting, but you can go and see what transpires.
4. McGinty meets the Weasel...
5. ...and they make a deal.
6. McGinty tells the Weasel to kill you once the Weasel has the treasure. Then McGinty and the Weasel will have it all to themselves.
7. The Weasel also hands something to McGinty.
8. McGinty takes it back to his office.
9. Of course, the meeting won't take place if McGinty has no reason to be suspicious (like if he never saw you and Johnny together in Outfitters International).

After the meeting at the ferry landing, McGinty puts something suspicious on his desk. What can I do with it?

1. Have you examined the object?
2. It is an envelope containing the Weasel's collateral for the deal made at the ferry landing.
3. Have you tried taking it?
4. It seems to be quite important to McGinty, doesn't it?
5. It would be perfect proof the Weasel is a traitor.

How can I prove my suspicions about the traitor?

1. If you don't know about the envelope, see the question above.
2. You'll have to get the envelope in McGinty's office.
3. But you won't be able to take it while McGinty is in his office.
4. After McGinty gets back from his meeting at the ferry landing, he drops off the envelope and leaves again.
5. That's your chance. Go into McGinty Salvage once he leaves.
6. The front door is locked? You'll have to find another way.
7. McGinty's also has a back door...
8. ...and a rear window.
9. Open the window, climb through it, and take the envelope.

Okay, I have my proof. Now what?

1. You should show it to someone.
2. How about Johnny? He's the captain.
3. But you'll have to wait for the right moment.
4. Don't show it to Johnny until you've put out to sea. You'll need every crew member to make the voyage.

Who took my proof?

1. The only person who has reason to.
2. The Weasel took the envelope.
3. You'll have to hide the envelope.
4. There's only one safe hiding place on the boat.
5. Hide the envelope under your mattress.
