Walkthrough
Barn
After the first cutscene, we find ourselves in a barn where the training takes place. You need to activate the switch, take the yellow key and open the lock hanging nearby. There will be a blue gear behind the door, which you will need to insert into the mechanism near the exit. Next to the exit there will be a box with a crowbar sticking out of it. Using it, we open the box, which will contain stones. We take a stone and throw it into the display case with a green gear, breaking the glass. We take the gear and insert it into the mechanism. We return to the car, pick off the board and, crawling and climbing the stairs, grab the last red gear, insert it into the mechanism and activate it, opening the door.
Mr.Peterson's House
After the cutscenes, we head to Mr.Petersom's house. We go into the left room, where we turn on the TV, which will have the inscription "Nounds Of Tanure", with the letters N, O and T highlighted. Under the stairs to the second floor we find a sliding picture, behind which you will need to enter these three letters. A secret passage will open, where there will be a crowbar and a figurine of Aaron. We put this figurine on one of the stands on the toy house standing in the kitchen, in accordance with the picture on the refrigerator. Then, near the stairs to the second floor we climb onto the closet and slide the picture, behind which there will be a figurine of Mr.Peterson. There we will also find a drawing indicating a house on a tree. We climb onto the tree house using the trampoline, which is behind the house, opposite the Mr.Peterson's house. There you need to move the robot's drawing, behind which there will be his hand with a sword. We put the robot's hands in the same position as in the drawing and a compartment will open in it, in which there will be a switch. We insert the switch into the switch and activate it. The train will go along the other track and bring us scissors. We go to the kitchen and behind the toy house there will be a hole in the wall, boarded up. We remove the board with a crowbar and take the Mia figurine from there. We put the figurines on the toy house according to the picture on the refrigerator, after which the door of the house will open, where there will be a key to one of the locks on the door to the basement. To find the next key, you need to open the refrigerator and move the plate, behind which there will be a cube with a number. The same cubes are in the toilet, in the drawer in the left room and near the safe. Above the specialist there are multi-colored flags, according to which you need to make a sequence of numbers using cubes. As a result, you will get the code for the safe "1984", after which, having opened the safe, we will get another key to the basement. Then we go to the second floor, cutting the ribbons with scissors, where, to find the next key, you need to restore the photo, collecting its parts. One is in the room near the bedroom on the shelf, another in the drawer in the hallway, another behind a patch on the pillow in the nursery and the last one in the closet. To get the last one, you need to climb on the closet in the bedroom and cut the web, behind which there are dumbbells. These dumbbells need to be placed on the pressure plate in the nursery, after which the closet will open, where the last part of the picture will be. Having found all the parts, we insert them into the frame, and the bookshelf in which the key is located will slide out. To find the last key, you must first pull out the bed by pressing the lever disguised as part of the bed. There will be a switch in the drawer, which we insert into the switch near the rack in the room near the bedroom. The rack moves away, and there will be a device with a battery behind the web. We take the battery and go to the nursery, where we insert this battery into the remote control, after which, having activated the lever twice, the toy car will bring the last key from under the bed. We open all the locks on the door to the basement and in the basement we take a newspaper sheet, which talks about a museum. Then we take the red key and, having opened the red lock, get out of the basement. After the cutscene, we go to the museum, where we take a shovel.
Bakery
After the cutscenes, go to Gerda's bakery. There you need to find four buttons for the cash register. To find the first one, you need to steal Gerda's key hanging on her belt and open the refrigerator in the pantry. From there, take a fish-shaped cookie and put it in Imbir's bowl. Imbir will eat the cookie, and we take the button he was playing with before. To get the second button, you need to take an ice cube with a key inside from the freezer and put it in the oven. When the ice melts, you need to put out the fire using the fire extinguisher hanging on the wall near the kitchen table. After taking the key from the oven, you need to go up to the second floor, where there will be a table with a book on the lock. After opening the lock, we find the second button in the book. For the next button, you need to take the valve near the refrigerator and insert it into the nipple in the bathroom on the second floor. After turning off the water, you need to take the scissors on the bedroom table and, going out onto the balcony, trim the bush in which the button will be. The last button is in the clock on the second floor. You need to cut the patch on the carpet, behind which there will be one of the hands on the clock. We insert it into the clock and set the time as on an electronic clock: 10:35. The door opens, behind which is the last button. We insert all these buttons into the right place on the cash register and press the buttons in the right order, as shown in the photo above the machine: 1576. The cash drawer will slide out, in which there will be a key to the museum.
First Night at The museum
With the key you need to come to the museum and open the lock on the door. There you need to break two display cases, behind which are a model of a house and scissors. Use scissors to cut the web at the neighboring peak, from where you take another model of a house. Bring these models to the map in the corridor at the front entrance. There will be a safe with another model nearby. Insert the houses according to the bases, and the safe opens, in which there is a blue key that opens a blue lock. In the upside-down room behind the web, take the sconce and insert it near the shelf. Tilt the two sconces down, after which a door appears behind the web. In the room behind the door is a heart-shaped key. This key opens the bedroom on the second floor, where behind the display case is a photograph of the Neighbor's family. Take the photo and after the cutscene head to the Kinander Residence.
Kinander Residence
Climbing onto the roof of Otto's house, we find the letter "C" there. Then we need to find the letter "B" under the roof in the house and the last letter "F" on the toilet lid on the first floor. These letters need to be inserted into the refrigerator in the kitchen, after which the refrigerator will open, where there will be a deer horn. This horn needs to be inserted into the stand for antlers on the second floor, after which a bookshelf will slide out, in which there is a part of the map. For the second part of the map, you need to activate four boar heads in a short time. One on the first floor, the second on the second floor above the stairs, the third on the basement floor and the fourth on top under the roof. If you activate all the heads quickly, the microwave will open, where there will be another piece of the map. For the next piece of the map, you need to take the switch from the stuffed bear in the basement and insert it into the switch on another stuffed bear in the workroom on the first floor. Once activated, the bear's jaw will move away, and you can take the piece of the map. The last piece of the map is in the chest on the basement floor behind the boards under the stairs. Take the scissors on this floor, and take the crowbar on the rack on the second floor. Use the scissors to cut the patch on the pillow on the bed on the second floor, where the key to the chest will be. Use this key on the chest, and in it we find the last piece of the map. All these parts of the maps need to be hung in the correct order on the board on the second floor using pins. The map will indicate the location of the safe. In order to open it, you need to match the colors of the pins and the numbers on each of the pieces of the map. Then we take a shovel in the extension on the roof of the house and go dig up the safe in the place indicated on the map. We enter the password in accordance with the colors of the pins and numbers on the map, and we get the code 80164. The safe opens, and we get a key in the form of a book.
Second Night at The Museum
This key opens a room on the second floor of the museum. There you need to take the bird-shaped car mascot and attach it to the nose of the Neighbor's car, which is in the museum's garage on the basement floor. The hood opens and we find a gear in it. Another gear can be found in the globe in the room on the second floor. You need to rotate the globe to position the large red cross opposite the hand sticking out from under the blanket, so that it looks like the finger is pointing at the cross. Then the globe will open, where there will be another gear. The last gear is in Mr.Peterson's bedroom. You need to take the weight in the box in the room with the globe and put it on the pressure plate in the bedroom. The wall above the bed will turn, revealing the last gear. These gears need to be inserted into the clock on the first floor near the right staircase to the second floor. The clock will set the time to 11:35. These numbers will need to be entered into the safe, after which it will open, and there will be a camera inside. Take the camera and after the cutscene go to the city hall.
The Mayor's House
Entering the mayor's office, we find a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, using which we put out the grill on the veranda, from where we take the meat and put it in the bowl of the dog Skipper. After that, we take a shovel near the statue of the mayor and dig up the scepter. We insert this scepter into the hand of the statue, and a hiding place with one of the awards opens. For the next reward, you need to climb onto the roof and through the window get to one half of the attic, where behind the board is a box. Open it, there will be a fuse, which, if pulled, will turn off the lasers in the mayor's office, behind which is the next reward. Another reward is on the second floor in the mayor's bedroom. You need to jump on the bed and fly onto the decorative beams, where the reward will be. For the next reward, you need to open the box in the same place where the previous reward was and insert the fuse. This moves the painting underneath it, where the safe is. Then you need to go into the bathroom on the first floor, where there will be a model of a yacht, which you need to bring and put on a stand under a painting with the same yacht near the dining table next to the kitchen. The painting rises, and behind it there will be a photo with the Skipper and his date of birth: 06/08/1991. The numbers 8, 6 and 91 will be highlighted, from which the code for the safe is made. After entering the code, we find the reward in the safe. To find the last reward, you need to press the keys on the piano in the right order. The order is on the sheet of music opposite the piano. There is a sequence of yellow, red, green and blue keys. After that, you need to go up to the second floor and in front of the stairs there will be a gold plate in a frame. After breaking the glass, we take the plate and go to the opened room on the first floor with a gramophone. We insert the plate, turn on the gramophone and, while the music is playing, quickly climb onto the retractable platform under the ceiling, where we find the last reward. All five awards must be placed in the corresponding places in the room near the stairs, after which the ship's steering wheel will be opened for us. We bring this steering wheel to the bedroom and attach it to the steering wheel. We turn it until the longitude and latitude indicators match. After this, a secret room will open behind the steering wheel, where we will find a key in the form of a gear.
Third Night at The Museum
With this key in the museum we open the room near the headless stuffed animals. There will be a book there, in which there is a wrench. With this key we unscrew the bolt at the door near the left stairs on the second floor. There we find a book with a flower, which we insert into the bookshelf in the room near the stuffed animals. Then we go to the TV on the second floor, climb onto the platform above it and open the box, in which there is one of the antenna whiskers. We climb onto the roof, where we find the antenna and insert the whisker there. We lift these whiskers up and go to the TV. On the TV, switching channels, you can see symbols in the form of a fire, a flower and a planet. We go to the room near the stuffed animals and pull out books with the same symbols, after which the wall opens, where there will be a bear's head. The next scarecrow head is in the upside down room on the first floor. Between the windows you can find a fish head. And the last head of the stuffed animal is in the trunk of Mr.Petersom's car. You need to find a handle from the car door in the box in the garage, which you need to insert into the door, after which it will open. In the cabin, you need to press the lever that opens the trunk, where there will be a boar's head. These heads need to be inserted into the stuffed animals, after which the stairs to the attic will open. Once you climb up, there will be a key hanging nearby that opens the lock on the cage.
Escape from the Museum / Final Battle
After the cutscene, you need to take the scissors on the nightstand near the bed and remove the cobwebs from the lock. You need to look around for numbers on multi-colored circles that will make up the code: 75203. But the lock is upside down, and you need to enter the numbers from the outside, not the inside. Therefore, you either need to look at the lock from the side and pick up the code, or you can put these numbers upside down from the inside, and then turn all the drums five more numbers, after which the door will open. Then you need to take the switch, remove the cobwebs with scissors and activate the switch. After that, going down, we steal Mr.Peterson's wrench, which is hanging on his belt. Using the wrench, we unscrew the bolt and open the fire extinguisher, which is in the corridor near the entrance to the garage. Then we unscrew two bolts by the fireplace, move the grate, put out the fire, take the key and open the lock at the entrance. We also take the crowbar from the display case, chip off the boards and open the door, ending the game.
Trivia
- This act is currently the longest in the game.
- If you know everything and don't go through some puzzles, if you don't have to solve them (for example, finding a map in Otto's house), then on average this act can be completed in 30-40 minutes.
- Act 2 is not a sequel, as it is a side quest. Although it also has its own ending and may have a sequel, it does not tie in with the ending of Act 1. Most likely, its events take place in between Act 1.
