Jack Keane Hints
How can I steal the hotel's service star?
1 of 12: Speak with the manager a little further and find out exactly why the hotel was awarded that star.
2 of 12: The manager says that the warm roaring fire is the reason the hotel was awarded the star. He goes on to say that if that fire went out, he may be at risk of losing the star, so there is no way he would let that happen.
3 of 12: You need to find a way to extinguish the fire. This will distract the manager long enough for you to do what's required to get the star.
4 of 12: After the fire goes out, the manager will run off to re-ignite it.
5 of 12: You need to take this opportunity to cause a problem and have the star fall off.
6 of 12: The star looks very well polished, doesn't it? There's even a cleaning cart stationed right next to the star for quick clean-up jobs.
7 of 12: Notice that the top shelf has the cleaning solution on it. The bottom shelf on the other hand, has turpentine on it.
8 of 12: The turpentine is certainly likely to take the adhesive off the star so that it won't be stuck to the desk anymore.
9 of 12: Perhaps there is a way to ensure the manager will accidentally use the turpentine rather than the cleaning solution?
10 of 12: All you need to do is grab both items and switch them over. Put the turpentine on the upper shelf, and the cleaning solution on the lower shelf.
11 of 12: After all that, we will still need to give the manager a reason to clean the star.
12 of 12: Once the manager tries to clean the star with the contents of the cart swapped over, the star will fall to the floor and you will be able to pick it up.
