Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express Hints
What is there to find in Ratchett's room?
1 of 10: Oh, just all KINDS of stuff. Follow your instincts and you'll do fine. Read to the end of this hint for a list of all the things you need to find here.
2 of 10: Start by examining the body. There are two things to find on or near the body while you're here.
3 of 10: Take a look at the nightstand; there are four things to take here. (Actually, there's more, but you can take all the stuff in the ashtray with one click.)
4 of 10: Take a look out the window, though you won't be able to go outside till later.
5 of 10: There are two things on the floor to pick up, one by the nightstand and one by the door.
6 of 10: While you're by the door, don't miss Ratchett's hat and coat.
7 of 10: Finally, look up --
8 of 10: -- and go through the suitcase in the overhead rack.
9 of 10: Once you've got everything, first talk to the doctor about it all, then look at everything in inventory. To do this, click on the magnifying glass and use the top slider to move from one item to the next. On each item, click on the eyeball at the bottom of the screen to turn the item over. If you hear a dramatic chord, it means there's something significant on this item.
10 of 10: When you think you've seen everything, go talk to Poirot about it. If you missed something, he'll send you back to look again.
