The Sins Of New Wells

Trouble Unleashed, the second scenario in the Sins of New Wells DLC for The Rise of the Golden Idol, begins with the subtitle “a tragic day at the races” and it’s clear from the very first glimpse at the scene that this is a very fitting description of what happened.

The Best Puzzle Games On Steam

The best puzzle games can hook even the most resilient players, and these puzzlers on Steam are some of the best ones available.

There’s quite a lot going on here, and plenty of clues to untangle and unravel. We’re looking at some gruesome stuff today, and it’s not the fainthearted. We’ve got plenty of hints for the answers to be found here, and the answers themselves if you fancy skipping to the end!

All Word Locations

There’s a whopping 69 words to find in this scenario, split between a doghouse and the dog track outside.

All Role Solutions

There are eight roles to figure out in this panel:

• The kennelmaster is someone who has responsibilities dealing with the welfare and care of the dogs at the dog track. Is there someone who has dialogue or possessions that give you a clue to this end?
• The track owner is one of the more obvious ones here. Of the buildings and other locations in this scenario, which is most likely to belong to the most important person?
• The northsider’s identity and the place you learned the word ‘northsider’ are related.
• Favorite girl is not very likely to denote a human, especially when there are so many dogs around. A certain person has jewellery that will give you a clue to the favorite girl’s actual name. Put two and two together…
• A bodyguard and a door guard will have very specific locations.
• Is Benny a human or a dog? Dialogue will point you in the right direction.
• The note that taught you about the ‘Czar’ mentions a blond man who can’t defend himself against a one-handed man. The note seems to imply the one-handed man is the Czar.

The kennelmaster is the dead man from inside the kennel	The track owner is the woman inside the office	The northsider is the man with the tape recorder at the back of the outside screen	The favorite girl is the dog with the ‘Jess’ nametag
The bodyguard is the man in blue standing further away from the office	The door guard is the man in blue standing outside the office	Benny is the dog found inside the kennel next to the dead body	Czar is the man in orange with green hair

All Theft Solutions

The first of two ‘sequence of events’ panels deals with a peculiar case of thievery. Or does it?

• The first word to figure out is the identity of the relevant gang. You have a few proper nouns to work with – which ones are you certain belong to humans and dogs? Which one makes the most sense based on where you found it?
• There are three peculiarities in this scenario: the mess in the office, the fight and death in the kennels, and the random man with three days of recordings on his tape recorder. How might any of these be relevant here?
• The transfer of some goods from the office into an obviously fake dog carrier case in the kennel is an important point here, but how many items are supposed to be in the case? Six or seven? Why might there be a discrepancy here?
• You can find out that the gang works in pairs. One gang member is obviously the guy standing outside the dog track – what happened with him? Where is his buddy?
• Two people were busy at a certain time. You can see when certain races were happening, along with which dogs were racing. Who has a favourite dog? Who would be travelling in a pair?

On Tuesday, a member of the Andier gang broke into the office. They stole nothing, but left a tape recorder to record the track owner‘s meetings.

On Friday at 4.10pm, the track owner and the bodyguard were busy watching Jess race. One member of the Andier gang distracted the door guard while the other tried to collect the tape recorder.

All Death Solutions

The final panel, naturally, deals with the body you can find in the kennel and the events surrounding his death.

• Zira’s case is important here – the one filled with items, not a dog. The one that the employees are lying to the detectives about. Examine this case closely.
• Again, the discrepancy between the numbers of items referenced and visible is important. Look at the marks on the shelf in the office and examine the items in the case.
• You know what the gang member wanted to do in the previous case. First of all, ‘tried‘ doesn’t mean they were successful. Second of all, where in the office might something be hidden? What happened in the office that could have disrupted plans?
• The kennelmaster always keeps No. 17 with him. Who is No. 17?
• What could bring the relevant people into the kennels? Careful examination of notes might be very useful here.
• The tape recorder is important here.

On Friday at 3.45pm, the kennelmaster went to collect 6 items from the office. After Benny knocked the shelf down, the kennelmaster left with 7 items. The 7the object was a tape recorder, which has been in the plant.

At around 4.10pm, the northsider saw the kennelmaster‘s note and went looking for Benny. When he saw that Benny was a dog, he went to the kennels. While fighting over the tape recorder, the northsider shot the kennelmaster.
