Grim Fandango Hints
Dom's tube is locked. How can I open it?
1 of 11: Actually, you can't.
2 of 11: But you still might be able to get a sneak peek at his messages.
3 of 11: There is a window in the tube that you can use to your advantage, if only you could keep the messages in place long enough to read them.
4 of 11: Did you notice what the repairman was doing when he was fixing the communications tube?
5 of 11: He needed to stop the messages from flowing through the broken system.
6 of 11: The messages are just propelled by air.
7 of 11: There is a slot in the message tubes that you might be able to use to stop a message in route.
8 of 11: But you also want to make sure that you don't block the airflow completely, or else you won't even get the tube close enough to look at.
9 of 11: There was a deck of cards back in your office.
10 of 11: A few holes should keep air going through the card.
11 of 11: Use the hole punch on Eva's desk to put a few holes in the card. The card is now suitable for intercepting Dom's messages. Just put the card in the tube, and you'll head off automatically to find Meche.
