Nightlong Hints

How do I get him to come back?

  • 1 of 11: Why did he come here initially?
  • 2 of 11: If you could set off the alarm again, he'd have to return to switch it off.
  • 3 of 11: Before you do that, however, it might be a good idea to make sure he doesn't close the hidden panel.
  • 4 of 11: What set off the alarm the first time?
  • 5 of 11: The terrorist dropped something when he came to switch it off.
  • 6 of 11: A match!  Pick it up.
  • 7 of 11: One of your inventory items can be converted into a torch if lit with the match.
  • 8 of 11: It's probably made of straw.
  • 9 of 11: What about the broom?
  • 10 of 11: Still can't set the alarm off?  I should curse you -- but the "censors" wouldn't allow it!
  • 11 of 11: The sensors near the trapdoor entrance might prove to be helpful.
