Walkthru for DAY OF THE TENTACLE                by G.J.Woeginger
                                                [e-mail]

I divided the story into eight parts.  Every part describes the one- or
more-step solution of a special puzzle.  You do not have to solve the
puzzles according to my ordering.  To my knowledge, it is impossible to
reach a no-win-situation.  Just try around and enjoy the game!

1 START:  Open the grandfather clock and enter the secret lab.  After
the time-travel sequence, go to the right and get the paper from the board.
Improve the plan.  From now on, you can play as Hoagie or as Bernard.  Your
first goal is to free Laverne.

2 HOW TO FREE LAVERNE:  Hoagie takes the bucket with red paint in the
twinbrothers' bedroom with the cat; then he goes to the outhouses and paints
the kumquat tree red.  He talks to Washington about cutting down the cherrie
trees.  This makes the tree disappear in the future; Laverne falls down and
is imprisoned.  Laverne tells the tentacle-guard that she feels kinda ill;
in the doctor's room, she takes the tentacle-chart and then goes back to
prison.  This time she tells the guard that she needs to go to the toilet;
outside, she gives the tentacle-chart to hoagie.  Bernard climbs up thru the
chimney, gets the crank and sends it to Laverne.  Hoagie goes to Betsy`s
room and puts the tentacle-chart on the table.  Laverne goes back to prison
and once more she starts feeling ill.  On the roof she gets the changed
American flag with the crank and then wears the flag as almost perfect
tentacle diguise.
   From now on Laverne is free to move everywhere in the future.  The three
mansions in future, present time and past are essentially identical. Hoagie,
Bernard and Laverne will collect lots of items.  Items are passed from one
character to the other by clicking on the item and afterwards on the head of
the other character.

3 A BATTERY FOR HOAGIE:  First, Bernard passes the patent application
to Hoagie.  Thru the clock, Hoagie finds the secret lab of Red Edison. He
gives to Red the patent application.  Now he needs i oil, ii vinegar and
iii gold.  Getting the oil i is easy, since a bottle of oil is in the
kitchen.  For the vinegar ii, he steals the wine from Franklin's room and
gives it to Thomas Jefferson.  In the future, Laverne finds the room with
the time capsule and opens it with the can opener.  During 400 years, the
wine has changed to vinegar.  Pass it to Hoagie.
   Getting the gold iii is more complicated: Hoagie takes the letter from
the mailbox, passes it to Bernard.  Bernard gives the letter to the depressed
man upstairs to cheer him up, and then takes the flag-gun.  He goes down to
the party room, exchanges the flag gun with the cigar lighter, talks to the
fat man and asks him for a cigar.  He opens the grating near the fireplace,
maneuvers the chattering teeth into the grating and passes the lighter, the
cigar and the teeth to Hoagie.  Hoagie offers Washington a cigar, later
the chattering teeth and then takes the blanket.  On the roof, he puts the
blanket on the chimney, and finally he may take the gold-plated quill pen.
With the help of the gold pen, Red Edison produces the battery and Hoagie
can steal it from the shelf.

4 CHARGING THE BATTERY:  In the room near the kitchen Hoagie takes the
bucket and the brush and in the kitchen, he fills the bucket with water.
In Washington's room, he uses the bed and pulls the cord in order to call
the roommaid.  He steals the soap from the roommaid's cart, uses the soap
with the bucket full of water and brushes the carriage outside the inn.
This will make it rain.
   Bernard takes the help-sign and passes it to Hoagie.  In the lab, Hoagie
gives the help-sign to Red, takes the labcoat and then visits Franklin.
With the labcoat Franklin produces a waterproof kite.  On the field Hoagie
uses the kite with the battery, pushes the kite and finally takes the fully
charged battery.

5 HOW TO OPEN THE SAFE:  Bernard takes the coffee and the decaf coffee
from the kitchen, the funnel from the wash room and gives the decaf to Fred
in the lab.  In the green Tentacle's room he finds a videotape and then he
moves on to Edna`s surveilance room.  Hoagie takes the left-handed hammer
from Red`s lab and exchanges the left-handed hammer with the right-handed
hammer of the twins.  Now Bernard gets rid of Edna by pushing her.  He puts
the videotape in the vcr, looks at the monitor and records Fred with normal
speed; he rewinds the tape and watches it with slow speed.  Finally, he goes
down to the office, opens the safe and takes the contract.

6 HOW TO GET THE DIAMOND:  First, we have to free Fred.  Bernard gets
the red paint from Hoagie, paints the mummy in the garden and climbs up thru
the chimney.  He takes the rope from Fred, fastens it to the pulley on the
roof, fastens one end at the mummy in the garden and pulls the mummy up.
Then he uses Fred with Ted and lowers Fred to the garden.  In the lab, he
uses the funnel with Fred, the real coffee with the funnel and gives the
contract to Fred.  He makes Fred sign the contract by telling him to sign a
petition against Tentacles.  Then Bernard watches TV in the depressed man's
room, takes the fake ink from there, uses it on Weird Ed's stamps and gets a
stamp. He stamps the signed contract and passes it to Hoagie.  Hoagie puts
it into the mailbox.  In the office, Bernard takes the Swiss bankbook and
orders a diamond.

7 HOW TO WIN THE HUMAN CONTEST:  Laverne talks to the blue tentacle near
the fireplace and gets a name tag for the Human Contest.  Upstairs, she uses
the roller skates and the name tag with the mummy, and then pushes the mummy.
To win the contest, the mummy needs i hairs, ii smile and iii laugh,
and moreover, we have to iv eliminate Harold from the contest.
     i Hoagie takes the spaghetti from the kitchen and passes them to
Laverne. Bernard takes the fork from the kitchen and passes it to Laverne.
Laverne attaches the spaghetti at the mummy and uses the fork.
    ii Bernard passes the textbook to Hoagie. Hoagie puts the horse to
sleep by reading the textbook, takes the tentures and passes them to Laverne.
Laverne uses the tentures with the mummy.
   iii Laverne sends the scalpel to Bernard.  Bernard kills the Clown in
the party room, gets the box o'laughs and passes it on to Laverne who uses
it with the mummy.
    iv In the Tentacle's room, Bernard pushes the speaker and turns on the
stereo.  This makes the fake barf fall down from the ceiling.  He passes the
barf to Laverne who drops it in front of Harold.  The judges will rank the
mummy first, and Laverne wins a Dinner For Two.

7 ELECTRICITY FOR LAVERNE:  Hoagie swaps matresses in the twins' bedroom,
uses the squeaky matress, picks up the mouse and then passes it to Laverne.
Bernard takes the Booboo-B-Gone from the depressed man's room and passes it
to Laverne.  In the garden, Laverne uses the Booboo-B-Gone on the fence and
the mouse with the cat.  In the prison, she gives the dinner certificate to
the guard, turns off the force field and uses the cat.
   Bernard goes to the room with the sleeping man, closes the door, takes
the carkeys, gives the keys to the thief in the parking area and gets the
crowbar.  He uses the crowbar on the gum with dime stuck in it and chews it.
He takes the dime from the pay phone, inserts both dimes into the coin slot
in the room with the sleeping man and gets the sweater.  Outside, he breaks
the candy machine with the crowbar and takes all quarters.  In the washing
room, he puts the sweater into the dryer and inserts all quarters.  Then he
takes the hamster from Weird Ed and gives it into the ice machine.  Laverne
takes the tiny sweater out of the dryer, the hamster from the ice machine,
puts the frozen hamster into the Microwave and gives the tiny sweater to it.
In the room where the mummy was found, she takes the extension cord, plugs
it to her Chron-O-John and uses it with the window.
   Then she enters the secret lab thru the old clock, plugs in the extension
cord and uses the hamster with the generator.  Bernard passes the flier to
Hoagie who puts it into the suggestion box.  Laverne uses the vacuum cleaner
to get the hamster back.

8 HOW TO FINISH THE GAME:  After the time-travel sequence and everything
else, the three-headed creature is shrunk by the old Tentacle.  The creature
enters the room of the depressive man, leaves thru the mouse hole, waits a
little bit and takes the bowling ball.  In the secret lab, it uses the ball
and makes the old Tentacle shoot at Doctor Fred by finding the correct path
thru the dialogue.  Finished.
