Blackwell 4: Deception Hints

How do I find out more about the ghost?

  • 1 of 8: There's a clue to his name in the first screen. Do you see that carving on the side of the boat?
  • 2 of 8: Rosa can't bend over far enough to see it, but Joey can. Talking to the ghost confirms that his name is Ryan.
  • 3 of 8: Your next hint to what's going on here is in the downstairs room, behind that knotty pine wall.
  • 4 of 8: Wow, look at all the money! You can't take it, but you can right-click to look at it more closely. What the heck is GCT? Using Oogle is no help without more information.
  • 5 of 8: Once Rosa opens the locked door and talks to Ryan --
  • 6 of 8: -- he asks if you're from the bank. Maybe GCT is a bank of some sort?
  • 7 of 8: This is a situation for the "Compare Notes" function of Rosa's phone.
  • 8 of 8: Click on "GCT" and "Bank" to have Rosa combine the two ideas. She comes up with the name of a bank, the Grant City Trust. Look that name up in Oogle to get Ryan's whole story, which you can confirm by talking to him about it.
