Scratches Hints

Where can I find a hidden safe and how do I open it?

  • 1 of 5: Where can I find the hidden safe?
  • 2 of 5: Michael will be the first to admit that he is not a safecracker.  You'll actually need to use the correct combination.
  • 3 of 5: The only trouble is -- the combination is not available around the house.
  • 4 of 5: Someone else may be able to help you obtain it, though.
  • 5 of 5: Call Jerry and ask him for it.  If you had found the safe the previous day and have already asked Jerry about it (on Saturday), he will call you back (on Sunday) and tell you what it is.  There will be no need to remember the combination -- the game will remember it for you.
