Day of the Tentacle Hints
How do I get the gold?
1 of 7: There's a gold-tipped pen in the Constitution room of the inn.
2 of 7: You will first need to get rid of the Founding Fathers.
3 of 7: Did you notice the smoke detector on top of the fireplace? It might go off if there were a fire in the room.
4 of 7: Thomas Jefferson won't give up his log until he has a reason to. Another hint in this section tells you how to make him.
5 of 7: All you need to do now is to make sure that the smoke stays in the room.
6 of 7: Try covering up the chimney.
7 of 7: Put the blanket from John Hancock on top of the chimney, and you can take the gold pen after everyone else leaves.
