HINT How do I shirk my responsibilities?
CLUE Have you tried walking west?
CLUE How about East?
CLUE North, South, Down, Up?
CLUE In other words, you can't. Type Enter or NE to go underground.

HINT The boulders just collapsed my exit route. What do I do?
CLUE You can try eating them.
CLUE There's not much you can do with them at this point. You will need to get them removed to file your report though.

HINT What's a Grue?
CLUE The Grue is a sinister, lurking presence in dark places. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tampered by its fear of light. No Grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

HINT How do I enter the Grues Convention with my lantern?
CLUE Read the above description of Grues.
CLUE They dont seem to like light, do they?
CLUE Have you tried dropping your lantern?
CLUE Of course, without your lamp, the Grues eat you.
CLUE You cannot enter the convention with the lantern (on or off).

HINT How do I survive in the Grue Convention?
CLUE Without a light, you will have to rely on subterfuge.
CLUE You will need to be in costume.

HINT Where do I find a token for the Zork Underground Subway?
CLUE In the bucket.
CLUE At the bottom of the well.
CLUE You know, just before the Dragon Stairs.
CLUE What Subway!!! This is not Zork Grand Inquisitor! This is one of those questions which was put in here for the sole purpose of teaching a lesson - do not use the presence or absence of a question on a certain topic as an indication of what is important, and don't assume that long answers indicated important questions.

HINT How do I purchase items at the Souvenir Stand?
CLUE Have you tried buying one?
CLUE Don't have enough money, huh?
CLUE What about taking one?
CLUE The salesman doesn't seem to be into charity at the moment.
CLUE You'll need to get rid of the salesman before you can obtain the candy or anything else at the souvenir stand.

HINT How do I chase away the salesman?
CLUE He looks kind of creepy, don't you think?
CLUE Why would his face be so unmoving - it isn't natural.
CLUE Maybe that's not his face!
CLUE Have you spoken to him yet?
CLUE He's wearing a mask. You need to remove it.

HINT How do I take the mask off the salesman?
CLUE He's pretty well out of reach behind the counter.
CLUE You'll need to get him to come closer.
CLUE Type "Salesman, hello" or "Talk to salesman" to get him to lean forward. Then, take his mask. Be sure to read the description carefully.

HINT Am I mistaken, or did the game just describe a Grue?
CLUE Pretty sacrilegious, huh?
CLUE Didn't think that was coming, did you?
CLUE We're pretty proud of ourselves for taking that chance.
CLUE Well, it wasn't that big a chance as we had Marc Blank and Mike Berlyn write the game.

HINT Was that the first time a Grue was described in a Zork game?
CLUE Of course. Everything in this game is brand, spanking new.
CLUE Well, except for Grues.
CLUE And Zork.
CLUE And the lantern.
CLUE Now that you mention it, you can Frotz a Grue in Sorcerer anytime you are in the dark to get a brief description of these fearsome creatures.

HINT What can I do with the popcorn?
CLUE You can string it together for a decoration.
CLUE How about shipping your computer to mom?
CLUE Maybe soak up a small reservoir?
CLUE All you can do with it is eat it.

HINT What do I do with the masks, gloves and body suits in the Changing Room?
CLUE You could wear them.
CLUE Do you see any items that resemble any of the local wild life?
CLUE Which ones make up the best Grue disguise?
CLUE Note the look of the Grue Salesman when you take off his mask. Then wear the same items to dress up like a Grue.

HINT How do I survive the Grue Convention
CLUE Your costume only fools the Grues for so long. You can't survive more than a few moves.

HINT How do I stop the walls from collapsing in the Trash Compactor?
CLUE Have you braced the walls with the pole?
CLUE Did you shoot the snake creature in the water?
CLUE Have you tried a laser blaster on the door?
CLUE What trash compactor? There is no way to survive jumping down the chute.

HINT Why do I want to go in the convention anyway?
CLUE You need to grab the glasses.

MENU Theater
LINK How do I navigate the maze of seats?
LINK How do I take a lens off a footlight?
LINK What's in the trunk?

HINT How do I navigate the maze of seats?
CLUE Don't you love mazes?
CLUE This one is huge.
CLUE Did you try dropping objects in each of the environments and then mapping the areas?
CLUE Wow, you could walk for days.
CLUE Better yet, don't bother. There is no way to get through the maze.  It only exists to teach you not to go into mazes.

HINT How do I take a lens off a footlight?
CLUE They are hot to the touch.
CLUE You need something to protect your hands.
CLUE Wear any of the gloves from the changing room.

HINT What's in the trunk?
CLUE Why don't you open it?

MENU Hall of Science
LINK How do I raise the cover and push the button?
LINK How do I see the image under the cover?
LINK How do I get through the sealed door?
LINK Where do I find a second quint-Zorkmid coin?
LINK How do I consult the oracle with only 5 Zorkmids?
LINK How do I open the Janitor's Closet?

HINT How do I raise the cover and push the button?
CLUE That cover is pretty heavy. You need to keep holding it with one hand.
CLUE It takes another hand to push the button.
CLUE You need to drop all of your inventory you are carrying to open the cover and push the button.
CLUE You do not need to drop items you are wearing.

HINT How do I see the image under the cover?
CLUE The image is fuzzy and out of alignment.
CLUE Did you notice the colors?
CLUE You will need special eye wear to correct the image.
CLUE What about the lenses?
CLUE Put the red and blue lenses in the glasses.
CLUE Wear the glasses, raise the cover and push the button.

HINT How do I get through the sealed door?
CLUE You need to align the symbols on the floor.
CLUE Did you look at the image under the cover?
CLUE Place the models on the correct symbols to unlock the door.

HINT Where do I find a second quint-Zorkmid coin?
CLUE Did you check the trunk for a second coin?
CLUE Did you look under all the seats?
CLUE Maybe you should steal one from the Grues?
CLUE Of course, that would all be too easy.
CLUE There is only one quint-Zorkmid coin.

HINT How do I consult the oracle with only 5 Zorkmids?
CLUE You need a way to make your money last.
CLUE Did you look at the coin?
CLUE Interesting shape, isn't it?
CLUE You could try to attach something to the coin so you can retrieve it.
CLUE TIE THE TINSEL TO THE COIN. You can now insert the coin twice.

HINT How do I open the Janitor's Closet?
CLUE Did you Rezrov the door?
CLUE Whoops, wrong game again. Maybe something else will work?
CLUE How about a skeleton key?
CLUE Actually, the skeleton is the key to this puzzle.
CLUE Consult the Oracle in the Museum of Illusions for more information.

MENU The Cage
LINK How do I survive the Rat-Ants
LINK How do I get the Rat-Ants to the Tunnel?
LINK I escaped, but so did the Rat-Ants.

HINT How do I survive the Rat-Ants
CLUE They are pretty hungry.
CLUE Maybe you could feed them.
CLUE Hey, they like candy?
CLUE Is there anything else sweet around that could curve their appetite?
CLUE The boulders blocking your escape are sweet.

HINT How do I get the Rat-Ants to the Tunnel?
CLUE They are not very smart.
CLUE And they like candy.
CLUE Maybe you could lure them to the tunnel.
CLUE Leave a trail of candy between the Cage and the Cultural Complex.

HINT I escaped, but so did the Rat-Ants.
CLUE You need to arm yourself with a deterrent before you make your escape.
CLUE Did you know that Rat-Ants are insects, not rodents?
CLUE Make sure you have the Bug Spray before you lead the Rat- Ants to the outside.
CLUE Oh yeah, make sure you don't waste the spray before then either.

HINT Where do I get some tinsel?
CLUE Where do you usually find tinsel?
