Machinarium Hints

How can I find a drum for the drummer?

  • 1 of 9: Think of another type of drum.
  • 2 of 9: Sure, there's a bass drumo ra snare drum, but think of another kind.
  • 3 of 9: How about an oil drum?
  • 4 of 9: Have you seen one nearby?
  • 5 of 9: There's one in the bar.
  • 6 of 9: You can get it, if you could just find a way to distract the barkeeper.
  • 7 of 9: Didn't you find some fly paper in his bar? I bet he hates flies.
  • 8 of 9: Collect some flies from the green vat outside (using the fly paper) then take them inside and sick 'em on the barkeeper.
  • 9 of 9: In his flustered state, he won't notice you pulling the drum outside and giving it to the drummer.
