...I'm stuck I'm in the block of flats investigating and need to bypass the lock...

Which lock has you stumped? There are two different set of flats that you have to investigate.

If you're investigating D-Vyne (the red hallway), then use Harry on the lock and he'll use the HackLink to crack it.

If you're investigating Homer J. Fong (the yellow hallway), then use the HackLink in your inventory and crack the lock with it.

However, if the HackLink puzzle is giving you problems, then just USE the keypad and enter the following combination for each lock:

D-Vyne (red hallway):
Spoiler
21718997. That's her citizen ID number and you can find it on her case file button on the GUI.
[close]

Fong (yellow hallway):
Spoiler
8675309. The foster parents are old and, apparently, love cheesy pop songs from the 1980s.

Hope that helps and I"m glad you like the game!

Hi - I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to get past the lock to Jani's office. Can anyone give me a little bump in the right direction please? It's probably so obvious but I just don't see it.

Thanks!!!

guest,

Hint 1:
Spoiler
Notice all the graffiti on the wall? Maybe there's a clue among the mindless scribbles...
[close]

Hint 2:
Spoiler
There sure are a lot of numbers on the wall... I wonder why some are scratched out?
[close]

Hint 3:
Spoiler
Starting from the left side, and going from top to bottom, enter all the numbers that haven't been marked out.

I'm stuck in the elevator in the mall and I tried messing around with the electronic panel but I can't re-activate the elevator. Any hints on what I'm supposed to do with the cables and the electrical amplifier thing?

Check Brentimous' post above on how to open the club's door.

To repair the elevator:
Spoiler
Pull out the scorched wire in the top slot, replace it with the good wire in the bottom slot, and turn the switcher knob until it connects with the second wire's position.

As for the circuit cards, the device is a multiplier. Each slot has a numerical value, as does each chip. The system requires 32 amps, so do some quick math and find which chip value, multiplied with each slot value would produce 32, and put those chips in those slots.

Press RESET and that should do it.

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the help but I ran into another problem. After speaking with Jani, I'm supposed to write something in paper but I don't have it. Is the paper found outside your office? If so, I think its a bug. After picking it up and choosing a case, the paper vanished from my inventory.

stridey, try this:
Spoiler
There's a yellow note pad under all the garbage on Jani's desk. Poke around and you'll find it.

That should do the trick.

Tina,

That's the one lock that has no back door combination and must be hacked, so here's the sequence you need to use to crack the lock.

As soon as the HackLink screen loads, from left to right, do the following:
Spoiler
Column 1: Click up twice. Column 2: Click down twice. Column 3: Click down once. Column 4: Click up once.
[close]
Lock all the circuits and enable the bypass. That should unlock the elevator.

Pressed for time right now, so no time for hints. Hope you don't mind me just giving you guys the answers instead of being clever and hinting at them. ;)

Spoiler
Use the Harry Icon on the control box next to the bartender. Once the Booze-a-matic is fixed, take the bundle of red cable from the corner and use it on the light rig overhead.

Tina
Spoiler
Put the 6 card in the 5 slot, the 2 card in the 1 slot. Leave the scorched card in the holding slots beneath the puzzle. Do the same with the speckled wire. Place the other two wires in top to slots (doesn't matter which order), and turn the switcher knob until there is a metal rod connected to each of the top two slots. Then press the reset switch.
[close]

That should get you guys back on track!

Can't write him a note with just a pencil. You need something to write on.

Spoiler
There's a yellow note pad at the bottom of the pile of garbage on his desk.

That should do the trick.

Smart One, great puzzle indeed. If there was a hint, I probably missed it.
