After our investigations, we found these detective games to be the best.

As always, you have a big stack of identities to work out, and the events you untangle will neatly fit into the complex Golden Idol mythos. So get your detective cap on and start picking up words and tugging at the knot that is this mystery.

All Word Locations

This chapter has 57 words to find, split over two sides of a larger scene: one on the left, and one on the right.

All Equipment Solutions

Of all the panels in this chapter, this is possibly the easiest.

• For the identity, only one word really makes sense.
• What does a person need to access a drive-in cinema?
• A certain distraction is mentioned. What evidence can you find of foul play, and what could enable that foul play?
• The final word is the trickiest; it requires some very keen examination. This is easier when you know who actually wrote the plan, but you can also guess it with some luck.

• Disguise my identity – need a costume.
• Get in and out of the drive-in – bring enough money.
• Get the staff out of the way with a distraction – pack wire cutters.
• They may search people’s bags, so I’ll hide my spoils in plain sight – bring paint.

All Costume Solutions

This panel deals with the characters of the movie being shown at the cinema.

• Many of the clues here can be found in the results of the costume competition, found in the cinema’s office building. Look at the comments and also the prizes won – the winners have their prizes.
• Dialogue also has some clues.
• If you’ve figured out the ‘dispute‘, you may be closer to one identity than you realise.
• One of the names is very silly, almost sounding like a mascot. Does this fit one character more than any other?

• The robot at the top of the poster is Bertrand.
• The man on the left is Transom.
• The woman on the right is Marini.
• The alien at the bottom is Porbo.

All Name Solutions

As in most cases, many names are found in classic ways:

• Dialogue will reveal many of the names at play here.
• The costume competition will tell you three names quite clearly.
• The people who work at the cinema have names worked out, surprise surprise, by examining the cinema itself.
• As ever, check any letters and notes carefully and note who they belong to.
• There are no married couples here.

The locations of the names in the table below correspond to their locations in the panel.

Andy Lemmons	Doug Baxter	Beck Mason	Mike Lendl
Jenny Chen	Champ Vincent	Augie Tamine	Annie Kishimoto
Laura Parker	Tom Powers	Sarah Cunningham

All Dispute Solutions

One couple here seems to be arguing over something, and it’s your job to find out what.

• What sort of dispute has people arguing over whether something ‘counts’?
• When you know what the dispute is, try to work out why the dispute would take place at the showing of a movie.
• Someone is arguing that something specific came to pass. Did something happen in the movie, or did it happen in real life?
• The types of words available to use will provide hints and narrow down the possibilities a ton.

The bet between Mike and Jenny.

Tonight, we will see Bertrand lose his head.

All Event Solutions

While all the panels before this have been fun, this is where we get into the interesting stuff. Working out what happened here is very important.

• The first panel requires an understanding of the roles of the various people here. Filling out the Names and Equipment panels will help immensely here.
• Something to think about here is the cinema itself and its unique selling points.
• There’s a poster in the projection booth. Is the diagram accurate to what you can see? If not, why might this be?
• While the first panel deals with the setup of this catastrophe, the second deals with the catastrophe itself. Examine the scene closely for this one.
• Specifically, understanding the dispute and the circumstances around it will provide the biggest clues.
• Once you know all the above, the key is picking the exact right words.

Sarah Cunningham, owner of the Neptune cinema, had been using a red crystal to enhance the projector. A weird lady sent Augie Tamine to buy it, but he was banned from the cinema.

Augie Tamine arrived in costume and stole the crystal, disguising it as a tooth.

In order to win a bet, Jenny Chen pulled the head off Doug Baxter‘s costume. This started a fire, so patrons tried to escape.

Hearing the commotion, Sarah Cunningham looked out, saw the screen, and realized somebody must have taken the crystal. She then caused a car crash while attempting to block the exit.
