The first case deals with a dangerous car chase outside a fast food restaurant; a restaurant that may have more secrets than it’s letting on from it’s bland exterior. If you’re struggling with any of this scenario’s puzzle panels, we have plenty of hints to help you figure things out, as well as the answers if you just need that last pesky word arrangement.

All Word Locations

There are two screens to investigate in this scenario, and there are 38 words to find within them.

All Order Solutions

This panel has you working out the exact orders made by the cars in Lots 2 and 4, and also the identity of some cars.

• You’re trying to figure out Lot 2 and Lot 4. You know that Lot 4 is empty, but Lot 2 is not, so you know that you’re trying to work out the orders of one of the cars still present, and one car that is no longer here.
• People who work at the restaurant will have the key information here. But are they all 100 percent correct?
• Of the two cars still parked here, which is more likely to be one of the cars whose orders you need to figure out? Which one has information that you could cross-reference?
• Lot 4’s meal is always stated in full.
• Plenty of options in this panel have a zero for both columns.

The answers in this panel are as follows:

	Lot 2	Lot 4
Burger Royal meal		2
Chicken Royal meal	1	2
Meat Surprise wrap		1
Chicken Surprise wrap
Barbecue sauce
Tomato sauce
Pesto
Cucumber sauce

All Event Solutions

There’s quite an involved story segment in this scenario!

• A good strategy here will be to first work out what types of words are required to fill in this panel and then go back to analyse the scenario’s dialogues to see what could possibly fit.
• Some individuals are more relevant to the series of events than others, and it will be obvious who just by looking at them. Their dialogue will be more important.
• There are mentions of sour sauce and garlic sauce. The restaurant doesn’t even sell those sauces. This is not an error.
• Pay attention to the dialogue – some of it sounds nervous, which would be natural. Some does not sound nervous, which is suspect.
• What is the employee inside the restaurant actually doing?
• During your word search earlier, you discovered ‘gangster’ and ‘drug’. Where could those fit into the sequence of events, if they do? Does the fact that the body was holding a weapon give you a clue here?
• The car in Lot 4 ordered quite a lot of food – how many people do you suppose were in there?
• Pay close attention to tire marks and footprints to work out the direction of the events that occurred.
• There was a bearded man, yes, but he can’t be found. What does this mean?

A bearded man stole food and drugs as they were being delivered to Lot 2.

In a car that had been parked in Lot 4, 5 gangsters gave chase and shot the bearded man‘s tire.

The bearded man then ran up a fire escape, pursued by some of the gangsters on foot.

Somehow, the water tower fell, killing one gangster. In the same way, the door was opened.

When the bearded man got downstairs, a fight broke out, in which someone somehow lost a hand.
