Still Life Hints

Office: How can I get the janitor's keys?

  • 1 of 17: You can try talking to him, but he's pretty protective about his keys.
  • 2 of 17: You'll need to distract him in some way.
  • 3 of 17: He's apparently quite fastidious with regard to his work.
  • 4 of 17: Perhaps if you could create a diversion -- something that would require his attention elsewhere -- you could lift his keys from his work cart.
  • 5 of 17: Explore around this floor of the office building, for something that might draw him away from his work cart.
  • 6 of 17: Do you recall the coffee machine where you previously got a cup of coffee for Todd?
  • 7 of 17: If you tried to run the coffee machine with no cup present, that could make a mess.
  • 8 of 17: But the coffee machine seems to have a pretty good drain, even when there is no cup there.
  • 9 of 17: Is there some way you could stop up the drain?
  • 10 of 17: Try using one of the napkins.
  • 11 of 17: Place a napkin where a coffee mug would normally sit.
  • 12 of 17: Now use the coffee machine.
  • 13 of 17: With the drain plugged, the coffee will overflow onto the floor -- what a mess!
  • 14 of 17: Someone should really clean that up.
  • 15 of 17: Maybe Victoria had better tell the janitor about the mess.
  • 16 of 17: After the janitor leaves to clean up the spilled coffee, Victoria can take his keys...
  • 17 of 17: ... and anything else he might have left around on his work cart.
