Sam & Max: Season 1 Hints

How do I get past the firewall?

  • 1 of 6: Watch the other cars go through and see if you can tell what the scanner is looking for.
  • 2 of 6: It goes up and over, and then down the back. Almost as if it was looking at the three colors and then the license plate.
  • 3 of 6: Notice something odd about the plates?
  • 4 of 6: They all have a variation of same four letters: R, B, G, and P.
  • 5 of 6: Strangely, that's the same number of colors that were available to paint with: Red, Blue, Green, and Purple. What if the letters on the plates stood for the colors?
  • 6 of 6: The letters on the DeSoto's plates are BRP. So paint the car blue in the front, red in the middle, and purple in the back.
