Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove Hints
What do I do with the cell phone?
1 of 8: The first thing you need to do is get it charged, for which you need a phone charger. If you don't have one in inventory, go back to the hotel fireplace for a second hidden object scene.
2 of 8: Now you need a place to plug in the charger. Where have you seen a power outlet?
3 of 8: The only one in the game is in the nautical bedroom, above the bookcase. The only problem here is --
4 of 8: -- that there's no power. Time to turn on that generator, if you haven't already.
5 of 8: Now that you have power, plug in the charger and put the phone in the charger. And your last challenge is --
6 of 8: -- to solve the phone's security puzzle. This is actually easier than it looks; just switch the squares so the yellow ones are on the bottom and the blue ones are on the top, and you're done. (In case it's not obvious, the pieces can jump each other like checkers.)
7 of 8: Unfortunately, you can't actually make a call with this phone. But remember what Alison said in the videotape you found in the locked bedroom of the hotel?
8 of 8: The last four numbers of her phone number are the combination to her suitcase. At last!
