Grim Fandango Hints
How can I get in to see Hector?
1 of 14: First, you need a disguise before Manny will even try to head into the casino.
4 of 14: Once you have the right clothes, you will still need to prove that you know Hector.
5 of 14: Seems you have to answer a question that the guard is asking you.
6 of 14: The answers are all in plain sight.
7 of 14: Take a look at the board behind you, when the guard starts to question you.
8 of 14: Notice that new numbers get added with every question.
9 of 14: One number is added with each question, to be precise.
10 of 14: The answer to each question is the number that most recently appeared on the board.
11 of 14: Answer correctly, and you'll be allowed into the elevator, but you still have to wait outside of Hector's office.
12 of 14: He seems intent on selling his Number Nine tickets to Celso and his wife.
13 of 14: You're a salesman, too.
14 of 14: Just keep talking to them, until you have a chance to explain to them how bad the Land of the Dead is. They'll rush to buy tickets on the Number Nine, and Hector will come out to congratulate you on your sales job.
