Scratches Hints

It seems I need to drive to town. What do I do?

  • 1 of 7: You arrived here by driving that green car outside.  Perhaps you could use it again to go to town.
  • 2 of 7: When standing by the door to the car, click the door to climb behind the wheel.
  • 3 of 7: Now, where could that key be?  It doesn't seem to be in the inventory.
  • 4 of 7: The car ignition is to the right of the steering wheel.
  • 5 of 7: That's where you'll need to use the car key.
  • 6 of 7: Once the key is inserted in the ignition, click on the key again.
  • 7 of 7: Michael tries to start the car, only to discover that he's left the lights on and the battery is dead.  Looks like you won't be able to use the car after all.  You'll need to call Jerry again and let him know.
