Sam & Max: Season 1 Hints

How do I get the phone back from the rat?

  • 1 of 12: Jimmy Two-Teeth said he wanted some swiss cheese. Is there any cheese around?
  • 2 of 12: Max says he bought a whole bunch of cheese, but he can't remember where he put it. Well, there aren't that many places to look; try searching the office, which is filled with fun but mostly irrelevant things.
  • 3 of 12: Look in the closet (to the far right of the screen, under the plaque with Jesse James's hand on it).
  • 4 of 12: Aha! A huge pile of cheese! But it's not swiss cheese, which is what Jimmy Two-Teeth demanded. What now?
  • 5 of 12: How smart do you think that rat really is?
  • 6 of 12: Maybe he'll be fooled if we put some holes in this cheese. What have you got in your inventory that might make holes in things?
  • 7 of 12: Use the gun on the cheese, then pick up some cheese and use it on the rat's hole.
  • 8 of 12: Little creep, he's still trying to hold us up! It's time for a little good-cop-bad-cop here.
  • 9 of 12: That is, switch back and forth between your two characters until you get Jimmy to cave in. Look at Sam and Max. Which one do you think should play the bad cop?
  • 10 of 12: As Max, say something threatening. This triggers Jimmy to say he's getting a headache.
  • 11 of 12: As Sam, ask about the headache. This leads Jimmy to tell you about his fear of heights.
  • 12 of 12: As Max, tell Jimmy you're going to hang him out to dry -- then watch what happens.
