Count's ornaments
Valerie
I flipped through the encyclopedia. Did you know that Dracula was a count? That means the costume has to have an upper class feel to it. A sophisticated brooch, for example.
Very well made! Definitely a very valuable accessory. The blood red stone in the center is the mark of a vampire.
-
Bloody Fangs
Valerie
There's a "D" sewn into the cape. Same as the others on the letter. This looks like Dracula's cape. If so, the person who wears the Dracula costume will be this year's "King of the Masquerade Ball. Great choice. I can't wait! Now let's continue our search and find the other parts of Dracula's costume. The fangs should be around here somewhere.
Look, look, look! Those fangs are so realistic! Did you pull them out of a vampire by any chance?

under cover of night
Valerie
Martha and the mayor scolded me for a full hour. ...... But I don't think there's anything to worry about. The spirit of Cerwyn whispered his first command before he was turned into a stone statue. "Bring me the two headliners of the masquerade." That means everything is in order and preparations for the holiday can go ahead! I'll definitely find all the parts of the leading couple's masquerade. And most of all, I have to find out who that honored couple is. I'm dying to know. Hurry up and find the parts for the festive costumes.
The black cloak with red satin lining is ...... so beautiful! Oh, there's a letter next to it. It would be interesting to read it.
-
The Call of the Spirit
Martha
Valerie, next we must accomplish the most important of the series of events leading up to the feast day. It's the summoning of the Halloween spirits. I can hear the sound of Sirwin's stallion's hooves as he gallops through the spirit world. It's coming! Find the bells of Cerwyn. With that sound, the spirits of Halloween will find their way into our world.
Oh heavenly powers, ...... the spirit of Thurwin has entered the world of the living. Valerie, take one step closer to the rider and say hello. You are the caretaker of Halloween.
-
air mobile
Valerie
I just put on the outfit and thought, I need one more piece of equipment. I need you to find me a witch's broom to finish it off. Not the kind that sweeps the city streets, but a special, enchanted broom.
A broom. That's nice! You found it quickly. Well, you can even fly! I need to practice my "caretaker flying" skills. On the night of the festival, people will be amazed to see me flying through the air wearing a gold mask and fluttering cloak.
-
cover one's face
Valerie
To complete the outfit, I need a golden mask. It's very valuable and scary rare. ...... Can you find the right one for me?
Wow! That's a very cool mask. It's pure gold! It's very heavy, but I guess that's the weight of responsibility. I'll do my best.
-
Cloak of Stars
Valerie
Next we need a cape. This will make the costume stand out clearly and let everyone know who is the best!
Did you find the cape? That's neat! It has a really bright little star on it! Now I won't get lost in the crowd!
-
Caretaker's hat
Martha
Valerie as a Halloween caretaker? I can't say I'm surprised. But it's the spirit's choice and it can't be overturned. The caretaker must awaken the spirit of Halloween. To do that, Valerie needs to dress up as a Halloween caretaker. Hat, cape, and mask. Find the witch's hat. It should be around here somewhere.
Well, what a cute hat! Let me try it on... it fits perfectly! It's amazing!
-
Who is the greatest?
Martha
So you've found the lair of the Halloween spirits! Look here ...... it's full of Sirwinian magic. I bet this is where all the big stuff happens when Halloween rolls around. Then let's find the names of the Halloween caretakers. Look carefully. Watch for anything unusual. A medallion, for example.
Did you find the medallion? I really ...... feel Sirwin's aura. Open it! I have to know the name of the sponsor. Who is the most honored citizen? The mayor? The lady hunter? Me, by any chance? Ah, the medallion has been opened! It contains a name written in flame-glowing letters. "Valerie." Valerie? Curious choice, don't you think? I think Valerie is too intriguing for the Halloween caretaker job.
-
Failed Poisoning
Agent Jones
Could it be that the command center was trying to get rid of me...? I thought it was Greensnake who was trying to poison me... because since she escaped, I have received several poisoned gifts from her. Most recently, the vitamins that the doctor at the command center prescribed for me were poisoned. Would you mind taking a look at them?
The label on the flask has only a bar code. All information is classified, but I have studied the greensnake process for so long that I knew it was poison at first glance. The color of this liquid is a bit of an unnatural blue, isn't it? That's because there's something else mixed in with the vitamins.
-
Last message
Detective
In order to find out how the Johns came to town, Martha is going to reenact the events leading up to their arrival here. Watch closely. There could be big clues hidden in the small details. Hey, can you hear me? There's a pay phone ringing somewhere! Let's find it and listen to what they have to say.
Oh, there it is! Here, hurry up and pick up the phone! I hear a wrinkled voice... "Foreman Jones has accomplished his mission. Therefore, his help is no longer needed in achieving our common goal. This is probably a message from headquarters.
-
Knot Antenna
Kira Woodville
The pyramid of fireflies is almost complete. We are gradually learning how it works, but one important part is missing. Yes, the ring of wisdom. My father called it an "antenna-shaped wire puzzle. Could you help me find it?
Have you found your circle of wisdom yet? My father helped me with this part when I was a kid. Will this really work as an antenna? Let's assemble the pyramid of fireflies and find out.
-
(electronic) communications jamming
Mr. Black
Keira Woodville is a fighter with a work ethic. I don't understand why she insists on those boring puzzles she received as a child. What? You need a "secret triangle"? Well, then find it for her. I want Keira back to work as soon as possible.
You found it. Hmmm, this is interesting... it seems that this triangle blocks extra signals coming into the communicator. It seems that the pyramid of fireflies that Keira got from her father is no ordinary puzzle...
-
Vintage case
Detective
There must be some kind of violin case that holds a small graceful gun. Try looking for it once. With a little weapon like that, you can search all over the sewers without fear of the monsters. I bet you could find the Mafia's secret hideout. All thanks to Mr. Lucaccio!
In the violin case was an Apache revolver. It's a very old, graceful gun. It's a pistol, a Merikensack, and a knife all in one. I will give this Apache revolver to Juliette when I search the sewers and find the secret lair of the Five Families. She won't need it at all, but it will be a comfort to me. Let's see what happens...Yo, what's that at the bottom of the case? There's a sheet of stave paper in there! It must have a message on it.
-
A trap to finish off an agent.
Martha
I will answer the questions of the detective and Agent Jones. In short, Mr. Jones was connected to the cult without realizing it himself. Bring me the artifact and I will tell Agent Jones what happened.
The artifact told me the truth. Agent Jones was meeting someone to hand over a container of books. When I arrived at the rendezvous point, I heard a sudden explosion and was blinded by a blinding flash of light. When my vision cleared, I saw a "shadow" disciple standing in front of Mr. Jones.
-
Spy Ploys
Agent Jones
I am surprised when you still have doubts about my identity. I understand. Let me show you some devices I have that have nothing to do with magic. In fact, I had the detective put a tracking device on it. Look carefully. There should be a small bug on his old-fashioned cloak.
This tracking device was put on while you were being chased by the detective. The detective seemed to think that I had dodged the dart, but he did not realize that I had a small insect on my clothing. Thanks to this bug, I knew where you people were searching and was able to successfully escape. I didn't take any magical help from you.
-
Pistol and Orchestra Blues
Detective
I miss the sound of the saxophone! No time for nostalgia now, though. We need to find the saxophone case! I don't know what kind of guns the mafia hid in it, but it will definitely help us find the secret hideouts of the five big families in the sewers.
Hidden in the saxophone case they found was a Mauser rifle. All right, we're almost fully armed now. Those sewer-dwelling monsters, they'll be running for their lives when they hear our footsteps. I think I'm ready to go looking for the Mafia's secret hideout!
-
Hidden Threats
Detective
I like the sound of the cello. I'm talking about a real cello, of course. I'm not talking about the one the mafia hides in a case. Based on the dimensions, I'm guessing it's a shotgun. Now let's find it. In order to find the Mafia's secret lair, we're going to need more protection from the monsters that live in the sewers. Hey...I think I can already hear something roaring from the bottom of the pipe!
You found the cello case! Be careful. The mafia must have hidden some hand grenades in there along with the shotgun. This is a real surprise weapon! When this is all over and we find the secret hideout of the Five Families, we will put them all in a locked and secure place. We'll be prepared for anything...
-
Popular Hideout
Huntress
There's got to be a guitar case in there somewhere. Look over there by the pipes. What the hell kind of gun do they put inside... anyway, the new gun should help us get through the basement unscathed.
Yay, I got my guitar case. Inside...wow, wow, that's a Browning! This guy's a perfect fit for your hands! If we run into a monster that lives in the sewers, it won't be a problem if we have the Mafia's hidden gun. I bet you're getting closer and closer to your secret lair!
-
Large stringed instruments
Inspector
Why don't we start by looking for double-base cases? It's the biggest one. We'll find it soon enough. There's a Tommy gun inside. With a weapon like this, there's no need to fear any underground monster! We'll find the Mafia's secret lair for sure.
Nice one, young man...I got hung up on it! No, never mind. You did it, you found a double-base case with a tommy gun in it. Good, now continue your search for other weapons. That way we can protect ourselves from the monsters that live in the sewers. Or you can find the Mafia's secret lair.
-
Cult's Offer
Rayden Storke
I've studied the note found in the first cache. The message was written in haste, and the text suddenly breaks off. Help me find the mailbox we saw with the Shadow Lamp! Maybe we'll find another message for Carlos in it.
Thank you for finding the mailbox! This is a great place for a cache, because no one has sent mail in the Foggy Backstreet for a long time. And here is the note: "Shadow disciples came to our group and offered us to join them, but we refused..."
-
Survivors in the Fog
Mr. Black
We managed to find out that someone left Carlos messages throughout the Foggy Backstreet. Let's look into every cache we can find - what if Carlos forgot to cover his tracks? Check out that forged ventilation grate, it's easy to hide something behind it.
Ha, I was right! Behind the ventilation grate, there was a message on crystal chip paper: "We're alive! The scavengers taught us how to survive in the fog." Hmm, the handwriting is the same as the Comet's note, which Rayden found in Carlos's workshop.
-
Secret Observer
Mr. Black
We examined most of the Foggy Backstreet, but there are no traces of Carlos here. It's as if he vanished into thin fog. I also feel someone's eyes on the back of my head. Try to find the doors with peepholes without attracting attention.
Well done! So there's only one peephole - on the Pawnbroker's door. He's most likely watching us. Well, since the Pawnbroker is peeping on us, let's drop by on him. If he watches every passerby like this, then he must've seen Carlos.
-
Underground Bidding
Mr. Black
I was informed that an underground auction is being held today in the Foggy Backstreet. What if Carlos decided to attend this illegal event? The letter might've been an invitation to it. Get some auction signs, we'll go there disguised as bidders.
Great, we have the auction signs! We'll disguise ourselves as guests and get inside the hall. Rumor has it that at these underground auctions, you can even buy anti-fog crystals. I hope Carlos didn't come here to sell a few crystals from the City's reserve.
-
Professional Robbery
Mr. Black
What if these scavenging bandits lured Carlos to the Foggy Backstreet so that he'd help them crack some tricky lock? Carlos has the best understanding of complex mechanisms in the City. Look, there's a handle from a cracked safe there, let's examine it!
See how professionally this handle was removed from a safe? It's the work of a specialist who knows his trade! Carlos once designed a reliable lock for the Security Service's safe. It's possible that the scavengers used Carlos's skills for their own purposes.
-
Fresh Tracks
Mr. Black
I hope that Carlos will have something to say in his defense when we find him. Look - fresh shoe prints! Maybe they belong to Carlos? There's something shiny over there, where the tracks disapper into the fog. I can't make out what it is from here. Let's try to get it!
Is it a plate for making coins? Hmm, it could well belong to the person Carlos met here. I know several counterfeiters who worked in the Foggy Backstreet but they've allegedly retired. We need to interrogate them!
-
Document Dealer
Mr. Black
Let's examine the Foggy Backstreet - maybe Carlos's tracks are still there and we'll get lucky and find him! What's lying on the pavement over there? It looks like a passport. Maybe Carlos dropped it? Let's see it!
This passport is fake! See, there's no photo in it yet. Johnny One-Hundred-Names sells such passports. I didn't think he was still trading in the Foggy Backstreet. When we find Carlos, I'll definitely come back here and shut down this rogue's shop!
-
Traditional curved brim
Inspector
I need to find the hat of the last mafia traitor on the list. Gino Gambitti. Probably that sturdy looking Homburg hat. There's a gray felt one on the bench. Can you bring it to me? I can't wait to open the way to the Mafia's secret lair.
Good job! I got the Homburg hat of Gino Gambitti, a Mafia traitor. The Mafia is cruel to traitors. But I don't feel sorry for them. They must have killed many people without knowing it. But they had a good reason to betray the Mafia. "What makes me qualified to desert people?" I don't know if I'm qualified to desert people," they used to say.
-
historical exoticism
Detective
I don't see anyone wearing a border hat anymore. I saw one on the stairs. Bring it to me. I can tell you for sure that none of the living have it. That's exactly what we're looking for. Mafia bosses are waiting for proof of a traitor's death.
That's a Giovanni Floriano border hat. Thanks, buddy. You sure you weren't a cop in the real world? Oh, well, whatever. Find that last hat and you'll pave the way to the secret lair of the Five Families.
-
broad-brimmed
Isabelle
I kind of feel like I'm getting to know the gang's fashion sense more and more as we work. According to Juliette, this hat is a Borsalino hat. Bring it to me. I know who it belongs to. Hopefully this will pave the way to the secret lair of the legendary Five Families.
You found a Borsalino hat! This one belongs to Jim Ribinolli. He's the guy who went against one of the five big family bosses. Typically, there's always a reason for betrayal. But we don't have time to go over all the details. We're close to opening the door to the Mafia's secret lair.
-
Precious container
Agent Jones
You seem to have lost your mind, Detective, suspecting involvement with an evil cult. Then how about we make a deal? Bring me the container of my book that was confiscated when you were captured by the detectives. I will prove to you that it is not an item influenced by witchcraft.
You are a wonderful person! As you can see, there is nothing magical about this book container. Nevertheless, I am relieved that this book container, including the key, is safe. I'm sure the detectives would have a temper tantrum if they knew you returned this to me. What? He already knows? That's too bad. I was so happy that you and I could keep our little secret...
-
dark horse
Detective
This Jones, who pretends to be an agent, with all his falsehoods about important events and ciphers in the newspapers... I'm pretty sure it was the shadow cult that gave him the assignment, not the command center. The chain fell on the cobblestones right next to Jones. That's the same one worn by the Shadow's disciples. Let's check it out, buddy.
Okay, you found the chain. Based on the symbol, it seems certain that this was made for a "shadow" apprentice. And it seems that this abominable accessory belongs to Jones. But a werewolf would never attack a "shadow" apprentice...
-
Foundations
Rayden Storke
Can you see why Keira is so eager to put the puzzle together? Everyone in the City of Shadows is desperate to get something related to their family. Let's find a three-dimensional puzzle to use as the foundation for the pyramid of fireflies.
So you found a three-dimensional puzzle. That's great! From what Keira told me, her father was not the type of person who would make a run-of-the-mill puzzle. The pyramid of fireflies she is trying to assemble is probably no ordinary toy.
-
Elegant items
Juliette
Oh, there's a trilby hat on the tree. Please go get it. That way I'll know whose hat it is. I don't think I can reach it. I bet it's one of the five hats needed to pave the way to the Mafia's secret lair.
Thanks for bringing the trilby hat. What a graceful gem. It has a name on it. "Emilio Ruppolo." That's exactly what we've been looking for. Only three hats left of the men who betrayed the Cosa Nostra. That should pave the way to the Mafia's secret lair.
-
A hatter's nightmare
Inspector
There is a reason why the Mafia bosses named the traitors in their last message. Perhaps the names are in the hats that are scattered all over the clearing in the woods. Let's start at the beginning of the list. Look for Giuseppe Armano's hat. Hopefully I'll find it as I expect.
I see that this luxury fedora hat has a tag with the letter G on it. It belongs to Armano. I hate to think about the fact that its owner is dead. I shudder to think about it. Find another hat. It will lead us to the secret lair of the Five Families.
-
King of glitter and poverty
Inspector
I think I saw a cigar case with "Lecony" inscribed on the corner there. Yes, the Lecony family is the oldest mafia family in New York City. But it started out as a mere street gang in Brooklyn. Bring me that cigar case. That'll give Lucky a clue as to the Mafia's secret lair! I can't wait to find out what is hidden there.
That's a Lecony cigar case. It's the only one made of wood! Looks like at least one of the Five Families had moderation. That doesn't mean he was a nice guy, though: their boss was shot dead by Vito Giovenezo himself in 1925. This was the beginning of a war between Mafia families. We all know how it ended. Lucky must be happy with what we've got. Perhaps now he will tell us about his secret lair.
-
Second Name
Detective
Well, here's why we spent so much time looking for this cigar case! You see, the Colombino family used to call themselves the Profitt family. In honor of their boss, Joe Proffitt. We need to find something with that name engraved on it. We can't stop here! We've collected almost all the cigar cases. If we find two more, Lucky will lead us to the secret lair of the Five Families. And we'll find out about Ms. Crawley.
Good job, buddy! My guess was right. We found a cigar case labeled Joe Proffitt. But this one belongs to the Colombino family. We've collected almost all of the cigar cases. One more to go. That'll give us Lucky's next clue.
-
Messages from distant lands
Agent Jones
My name is Jones. I came to this city on orders from the command center. I am to receive my mission instructions through messages in the newspaper. There will be a special crossword puzzle for me in the newspaper. Would you like to see it? Why don't you try your hand at it? Yesterday's newspaper is on the stand there. Please look for it.
As you may have already noticed, this newspaper is not published in this city. And the crossword puzzle in the entertainment section is, what can I say...not for amateurs. Let me tell you how to unravel some of the messages. You read only the second letter of the first word in the question.
-
suspicious character (person, figure)
Detective
We need to find out what the connection is between this guy and the shadow cult. We also need to find out why he left things at the homes of the residents and why those five were chosen... Hey, it looks like the female hunter's decoction helped her regain consciousness. I'm sure a lot of things will come to light soon. In the meantime, let's take a look at this guy's ID.
That's a hell of a lot of paperwork. Is this guy a journalist? Or maybe he's a doctor... or a lawyer. Hey, these are all fakes! Well done... the photos are all the same, but the names are different on each document. Which one is this guy's real name? Who the hell is this guy?
-
Let there be light!
Isabelle
According to my anomaly analyzer, an unusual level of magic was detected during the fight. So it looks like the werewolf appeared in response to something else, not the man. To confirm this, we can follow the fire serpent anomaly into the pack. That should take care of the werewolf and you should be good to go. Be sure to return it later.
Looks like it worked. The wave of black magic being created by the fire serpent anomaly is weakening the magic on the werewolf. See, the monsters are waking up and fleeing!
-
Weapons that stun the enemy
Huntress
That guy the detective is chasing is putting up a good fight against a bunch of werewolves! By the way, those monsters look like they've been hypnotized. They don't run away no matter what I do, and they don't seem to feel any pain when they're attacked. Hey, can you bring me the slingshot I use when I hunt? I can teach you how to use it. I'm going to help him out.
This slingshot is a simple but reliable weapon. Hold the pachinko firmly and set it down with whatever you have to replace the bullets. And aim at the werewolf's hairy face! Okay, here we go. Pull carefully... yes, now! Bravo! I got him!
-
pinch
Detective
We still don't know who these newcomers are, but if they are being attacked by werewolves, we need to help them. But to do that, we'll need something more powerful than a pitchfork... yes, can you bring the ultrasonic blaster that the professor made for us?
I've used ultrasonic blasters to scare off monsters many times before, but it doesn't seem to be working so well this time... those werewolves are rampaging instead of running away. Look at that guy, he's frantically punching away...he seems to have mastered the technique of bare-knuckle fighting!
-
Abnormal Movement
Huntress
Looks like the werewolves have gone hunting, even though the full moon is still a long way off. This must definitely have something to do with the shadow cult! I'll try to scare them off using the characteristic pitchfork... yes, I left it at Isabelle's place! I was going to have her add runes to it to make it an even more powerful weapon. Hurry up and go get it!
This projectile, powered by runes, makes a loud noise when you twist it. Werewolves don't like the sound and usually run away quickly... but most of them don't seem to shy away.
-
Keep the tracks safe.
Conductor
Ah, the hardest part of the work is finally done. Just a few more details need to be worked out to build the track for the ghost train. Fasteners. Go get the dog nails.
Finding a lot of dog nails was definitely a good decision. I just hope there are enough to lay tracks for the ghost train.
-
tree linkage
Conductor
At night, I can't sleep because of the rattling noise of the ghost train. I have to build a track and connect the cul-de-sac tracks to the main line so the train can leave. Besides the tracks, we also need sleepers. Bring them to me... and hurry up.
Thank God, the sleepers aren't as heavy as the tracks. But I still need more. I have to work a little more. I never thought it would be this hard to make tracks for a ghost train.
-
Modern atmosphere
Inspector
Strange...no ticket booth here, no one to check tickets. It's all the rage now! Okay, why don't we sit right in front of the troops? From there, you can hear the play and clearly see the wonderful costumes and decorations.
That's fantastic! As soon as I got to my seat, the actor and actress went in opposite directions and I froze. The actress stopped moving in the dark. The male actor's last line was about someone not on stage...their voices stuck and disappeared. Is this part of the play?
-
Glitter and strife
Inspector
Did Alex really know this? There's a cigar case with the Giovenezo family name on it, but it's covered in diamonds, isn't it? Whatever it is, find all the cigar cases anyway. Then we can ask Lucky about the mafia's secret hideout.
Oh, the diamonds on this Giovenezo cigar case are just sparkling! Let's find another cigar case and get this job done, shall we? Speaking of Vito Giovenezo, he is thought to be one of the men who started the famous Castellammarese War. It's the case where the gangsters fought for the dispatch of New York City. Hopefully Lucky will be satisfied.
-
Barrier of thorns
Detective
It turns out that the guy who showed up in this town and left things in the homes of the residents is related to the cult of shadows. But if he is being attacked by werewolves, he must not be a disciple of the Shadow. Look, he's surrounded by werewolves! Okay, we'll use the same strategy here. We're going to surround these werewolves with silver water chestnuts made of pure silver. Hurry up and find them!
Buddy, scatter the silver ginglings on the streets where they are hidden. It should distract the monsters and prevent them from entering the residential area. Werewolves don't like sharp objects. They'll be in a panic!
-
A slightly different vase
Lady
It seems that my mansion has been visited by a...well...newcomer. But nothing that belongs to me is missing. On the contrary, there seems to be more stuff. Someone left an elegant bouquet holder. I was going to give it to the detective, but I think I dropped it somewhere... can you help me find it?
It's a very beautiful and elegant bouquet holder, but if you put flowers in it, they die quickly. Besides, ever since I found it, I have been having a lot of dark thoughts. I would never have done that before. Whoever left it must be good at putting people under psychological pressure.
-
Living a life of luxury is not a sin.
Alex
Have my eyes gone crazy, or do you see a gold cigar case on that bench? I'm pretty sure that's Carlo Gambito's. He was the model for Vito Corleone in "The Godfather. Have you seen that movie? You haven't seen it? Well, forget about the movie. Just bring me that cigar case. Lucky will tell you where the Mafia is hiding. Without him, we can't save Angela Crowley.
Wow, those mobsters must have lived in luxury! What's next, a cigar case covered in diamonds? Anyway, I need all five of the cigar cases to finally get Lucky to tell me about the Mafia's secret lair.
-
fashionable characters
Detective
Let's get to work, buddy! I don't know which of the five cigar cases belongs to Lucky. I don't even want to guess. Let's just get them all. Then he'll tell us about the Mafia's secret lair. Okay, the first cigar case belongs to Joseph Bonini. His nickname is Banana Joe. Interestingly, Lucky Lucaccio set up a commission of bosses. Bonini was the youngest of the bosses. He was only 26 years old. I find a Banana Joe cigar case. Judging from the photo, it's made of leather.
This is the Bonini cigar case. It's made of leather and has his name on it. Surprisingly smooth. Not bad to have one of these. Look for another cigar case. Maybe then Lucky will be able to light a fire and give us some clues. About the secret lair of the Five Families.
-
Remarkable writing speed
Adeline Svensson
The detective told me to go through all of my belongings and let him know if I noticed anything unusual. Then I found a finger pen in my home. I don't know if it has anything to do with the investigation, but I thought it would be a good idea to report it... now, let me show you the pen.
I actually need to get rid of this finger pen. It's nice to have this to speed up my writing, but it makes my articles look weird, as if someone is blowing evil stories into my head. I wonder if whoever left this behind is trying to scare the readers?
-
Clever substitution
Mayor
The detective told me that the house was burglarized, but nothing in particular was taken. There are not many things in this house to begin with. Ghosts have no attachment to things. But it looks like someone left a fake city stamp! Look at this. It looks just like the real thing, doesn't it?
Someone had replaced the real stamp with a fake and hidden the real one on my nightstand. I am sure I would not have noticed if the detectives had not examined my belongings in detail. Perhaps they switched the stamps in order to make the law ineffective.
-
Historic Miracle
Detective
We finally did it! Now all I have to do is find the last lighter. I can decipher Grandpa Joe Volani's mysterious clues about the Mafia's secret lair. I think we should look for something antique. Something handmade a long time ago. A lighter like that is a symbol of respect and trust. How do I know that? Well, nowadays I only smoke one cigarette a day, but I used to smoke like a chimney!
How's that guy? He's pretty strange, isn't he? This model has a funny shape, like diving equipment. While looking for a lighter for the bosses of the five major mafias, he found a piece of paper that said... what does it say?
-
In honor of the volcano
Detective
If I'm not mistaken, the writer we should be looking for has to do with Italy. One that fits our Sicilian friends. Unfortunately, I have no clue which model you are talking about. You'll have to find it yourself. I hope you find it. Otherwise, you won't find any clues about the Mafia's secret hideout.
Oh, well done! Nice job! Look at this lighter, it's perfectly stylish. How very Italian. This one was made in honor of the 1936 eruption of Etna. Now we have to find the last lighter. That'll give us the "receive the Lord's blessing" that Borrani was talking about. Hopefully, with that "blessing," that is, his "clue," we can somehow crack the code right.
-
Small mechanical devices
Inspector
I'm sure those mafia bosses would have all the meticulous gadgets. Automatic lighters, for example. It's a combination of convenience and style. Find it. That's how you get close to the mystery of the Mafia's secret lair.
Wow, this is one of the first automatic lighters made! These were all the rage back then. I never thought I'd see one of these in the City of Shadows. I used to have one just like it. I'm getting a little sentimental about it, to tell you the truth...yeah, but that's not important!
-
Extra parts
Professor
I went through the lab again, and nothing seems to be missing. On the contrary, there are devices in there that were not there before... I tend to work on several inventions at the same time, but the mechanical hand that I found when I was going through the lab was clearly not made by me. Come here, come here. Let me show you.
These mechanized hands were undoubtedly made by the finest craftsmen. They use techniques I have never seen before. But the peculiar rhythm of these fingers prevents them from working at all. Perhaps it was placed there by a rival scientist...

The one hated by the goddess of fortune.
Cardsharp
Detectives want to know the invitation of a fleeing newcomer to the mansion. He asked me if anything was stolen from my place, but nothing is missing, on the contrary, I got something nice. I have a pair of cufflinks, but for some reason I haven't had any luck with them since I found them... If you ever find those cufflinks, please take them, I'd really appreciate it.
You think I'm lucky to find these spade cufflinks? Well, too bad. They bring terrible bad luck. They're cool and expensive, but there's something wrong with them... they make me think weird thoughts. Whoever left it behind must be a magician.

Find the key.
Detective
I almost caught up with the thief, but that guy suddenly turned a corner and went into a path. That's when I heard a jingle and something hit the ground. Probably he dropped a key or something on purpose to throw me off. Look for it.
What's that? Jingler key... just as I thought! He dropped this on purpose to try to sow me. Let's take a closer look. I've seen plenty of jingler keys in my day, but this one is pretty first class! It's hard to imagine a thief with a tool like this going into a robbery unplanned...

Stylish accessories
Juliette
If there's something that glitters in an exaggerated way, that's the writer we're looking for. In my opinion, those fashionable little things are more suited to women. But we needed a writer like that to tell these maifas where the secret hideouts of the Five Families are. That's what we should look for.
There you have it! It looks like something between a harmonica and a gold bar. I wonder who in the Mafia had one of these...must have been someone in fancy pants. Okay, let's find the rest of the lighter. That should give us a clue to the secret lair of the Five Families.
-
Always in style.
Detective
Joe Borrani's message said it was a source of flame at the station. My guess is that he was referring to an expensive lighter. The kind the Mafia would flick in front of a gasoline-soaked prisoner. Buddy, we need to find five lighters used by the bosses of the five major Mafia families. If you do, you'll get the next clue that will lead you to the Mafia's secret hideout! Watch carefully. Good luck finding them.
Oh, this lighter is a real traditional one! You can literally follow American history by tracing models from different eras, did you know? Take, for example, this simple one you found. It has no markings or decorations on it. This is one of the first collector models from the 30's. Find another lighter. That'll give us a clue to the Mafia's secret lair.

Difficult line
Conductor
We need to put a connecting track so that the ghost train can get onto the main line and depart. I would be happy to bring the tracks.
What heavy tracks. Is it possible that the next set of tracks I find will be lighter? I wish I could put down ghost train tracks without more physical exertion.
-
Lombardy Tunnel
Conductor
The girls have already assembled the route and even decorated the tree. Hmmm...but they're still missing the most important thing. The Sanetti and the tunnel. I know it's not easy, but I'm sure you can find it.
That was a very quick turnaround! The Sanetti and the tunnel we found are the only things missing from the toys on this route.
-
Surroundings
Valerie
This line is kind of boring. I know what's missing! Just decorate it with toy trees and rocks. It will make the line more authentic. Go get some scenic toys. I saw some near the concession stand.
Once I got the details in place with the scenery toys, the line looked like the real thing! I can just imagine being a first class passenger and looking out the window at the view.
-
Railroad Track Crossing
Huntress
I wouldn't call the line complete without a railroad crossing. Now, let's find that part of the toy on the platform.
What a fun toy for a railroad crossing! When the crossing comes down, there's a miniature car and a man on a horse waiting for you on the side.
-
railroad bridge over a river
Isabelle
From what I recall, the Sanetti's route crossed several rivers. I'll have to find a bridge toy to cross the water that would get in the way. I believe there were several bridges between the passengers' luggage. Can you bring them to me?
Wow, this bridge toy looks so real! How accurate in every detail. Even down to the tiniest detail! Yes, the puppeteer is a genius.
-
Glow Traps
Kira Woodville
You get to assemble the pyramid of fireflies together. The main part of this puzzle is the pyramid maze. It must be somewhere in the city, so let's find it together.
The pyramid maze you found is yellow. The pyramid of fireflies my father gave me when I was a child was also this color. With this, will I be able to find my parents?
-
Railroad Tracks and Sleepers
Conductor
To release all the passengers and detectives, we need to find the parts of the train made by the puppeteer. I think I saw a toy train line on the platform. Can you bring it to me?
The toy train line you found is an exact replica of the real Sanetti's route. Look, there's even an arrow to move to another line!
-
Communication Methods
Cardsharp
It's important to know all about the trip on the Sanetti. But that kid has been cancerously silent, hasn't he? I thought you said he couldn't talk. You should find a drawing board. Then the driver's son could write something and answer. Hopefully he can explain something.
Bring that drawing board here! This will make communication easier. I wrote something. Play with me. She keeps writing the same thing over and over again! He's annoyed Juliette, and now me. Friends, is this game going to save the train man or the father? It seems pointless to rely on this child.
-
Signal for departure
Isabelle
Among the fixtures on the Sanetti was a station bell. A boy was pointing at it, trying to say something with a gesture. He was kind of talking about train departures. Bring the bell. Maybe we can figure out what it is.
From what I understand, the driver gave the toy train to his son before the trip. The boy begged him to play with me, but his father was in a hurry. That bell you found rang, the train departed, and the driver's son was left on the platform to wait.
-
Forbidden Travel
Martha
Watching the driver's son, I've come to one conclusion. This boy is crazy about trains. He is especially crazy about the Sanetti. I bet he would love to ride on a train driven by his father. Let's find out if this wish has come true.
I thought so. This is a lock with a closed clasp. Very symbolic. Of course, the driver couldn't take his son on the Sanetti's exquisite journey. Company rules forbade it.
-
Become a driver
Isabelle
That boy definitely knows something important about the Sanetti. When I showed him a picture of his father, he smiled, pointing to his driver's hat, hands folded pleadingly. Apparently the boy wants me to find his father's hat. He won't help me. Because I'm here with him.
As soon as you brought the hat, the boy put it on. He is very happy about this discovery. But he hasn't said anything yet. He really wants to be a driver.
-
Useful Findings
Detective
The thief dropped a bunch of other stuff as he proceeded down the hidden street. It was as if they were trying to get rid of something... evidence, perhaps? If so, that would be to our advantage. If so, it would be to our advantage, because we would know more precisely who he is. See if any of the thief's tools fell out.
What an easy-to-use tool! Here, look at this. It's got pliers and a glass cutter on it... that thief must have had professional tools at the ready! But why throw away such useful tools? Was it because it was quite heavy and got in the way of running?
-
Thrown away weapons
Detective
The thief must have taken the gloves to throw something at me. I can't throw accurately with gloves. But I dodged it with flying colors. A projectile weapon says a lot about the character of the person throwing it. I think it was probably a dart that was thrown at me. Find it.
I'm impressed that you found such a small dart in such a short time...even though you always do! Hey, I also found a small container with some kind of liquid inside. This smells like... sleeping pills. I've used something similar when I was on the police force. You were right to avoid the darts. If I had, I would have had to sleep for a long time!
-
Light in the dark
Detective
To catch a criminal, it is important to try to get a feel for him. The best way to know how that guy thinks would be to examine his belongings. The thief threw something shiny away on his way out... looked like a glove. Look around. It must have fallen out somewhere.
These are gloves that are useful when trying to sneak into someone else's home. They are made of sturdy fabric and have a small flashlight on the thumb and forefinger. These are obviously the work tools of a professional thief.
-
soft steps
Detective
The thief wasn't a total novice. He knew how to throw off his pursuers. But I saw him drop a few things on his way out... let's find them. Maybe we can figure out who he is and how to catch him. Okay, let's look around the area. Come to think of it, I think I saw his shoes fall off on the way out...
These are felt slippers with laces! I've seen something like these before. I believe they are supposed to be worn over regular shoes. The thief must have worn these slippers to avoid footsteps when sneaking into the mansion. That's quite a feat! But it's hard to run with slippers on. No wonder he took them off.
-
Witness to the will
Conductor
Usually, the hidden streets are crowded with people. It is one of the most beautiful and safe places in the city. It may no longer be safe when thieves are here... but then again, why is no one here? Okay, here we go. I want to know the whole story of the thief's escape.
Things really do happen in this town, don't they? Case investigations on hidden streets, thieves from who knows where...well, the detectives will find them sooner or later. It seems like they've already found some sort of evidence. I would love to know who this cunning thief is and how he got to the city.
-
Special Journeys
Valerie
It's too bad the driver's son has remained silent. I bet he knows a lot about the Sanetti and the trip that train disappeared on. Maybe he'll talk about it if he has some sort of memento of his father. I saw the driver's hat on the bench with the floral cap badge with the logo on it. Bring it to me.
Thank you. This flower-shaped cap badge is never displayed on a hat unless there is something special about it. It's very shiny, isn't it? Looks like your driver has been thoroughly polishing it in preparation for his special trip. How about I give you this flower-shaped cap?
-
Machine Covers
Inspector
I can't stop thinking about Ms. Crawley. What did the kidnappers do with her, is she still alive? I hope there are some important facts in Bolani's testimony. After all, these mafia guys like to talk about themselves all the time. We've already gathered most of the parts we need. All we need now is a full panel for the tape recorder. Finally, we can hear the testimony about the Mafia's secret hideout. The testimony that inspired the young writer to write a new novel.
You were right to help me. When we started our investigation, we had nothing. But now we have all the parts to repair the tape recorder. Now I just hope that what was recorded on the tape was not damaged in the mess!
-
save the day
Detective
To fix a tape recorder, you need a pinch roller. It looks like a small gear. Once we find it, we can finally load the tape and listen to Joe Volani's testimony! Soon we will know the secret hideout of the mafia!
You did it! This pinch roller is going to hold the tape up tight, huh? Now I can fix my tape recorder right away. Now we can hear what Joe Volani had to say about the Mafia's secret hideout. Cops say that a lot. No matter how tangled the threads seem, the truth will always come out in the end. Now let's find the secret lair of the Five Families!
-
Lost circuit boards
Inspector
The microchip in the tape recorder is completely rusted out. It's totally useless. I'm not sure, but I think I might have found something similar in Crowley's yard. Let's have a look. Oh, what's that shiny thing over there? I hope it's what we're looking for.
This microchip fits the bill. The tape recorder is almost fixed now. You've been a big help! Now I just need to collect a few more parts. I can't stop thinking about Borrani's testimony. I'm almost done with the tape recorder. Then we can find the Mafia's secret hideout and Ms. Crowley!
-
Spring Structure
Detective
You want to hear what Borrani had to say about the Mafia's secret lair? Then I want you to find me that weird piece. It's like a tightly wound spring. That's what you need to fix a tape recorder.
This spring is the perfect size for a cassette deck, man. Damn, why am I doing the tacky work of fixing a tape recorder in such a beautiful place? I hope they can find a way to get Ms. Crawley back in front of the typewriter.
-
Important parts
Inspector
Angela Crawley's work has been spectacular in several ways. If you follow her investigations, you will probably find traces of her kidnappers. Or a secret Mafia hideout. Where should we start? As for the Borrani case, I have some tapes of testimony. But my tape recorder is broken, so I can't listen to them. In order to listen to Borrani's testimony, I need to collect parts of the recorder and repair it. First, let's find a cassette deck.
It looks like this cassette deck works. This is what I needed to fix the tape recorder. How do you find things in this mess? Your talent is real! I'll have to find the rest of the tape recorder. That way we can hear Joe Volani's testimony and find the mafia's secret hideout.

Luck and Strategy
Monk
You're close to deceiving destiny and finishing the competition between the divine dragon and bird, and releasing the young priestesses from their power. But not any competition will do. Find go - the game of emperors and generals!
Imperial go is similar to chess! The outcome of this great game cannot be predicted. It equally demands the mind of a strategist and the instinct of a ruler. Mei and Yui are finishing it... With a draw!
-
Royal sport
Alex
The twins princesses turned out to be very athletic. Invite them to play cuju. I was told about it by a Chinese bloke from my musical group. It's a sort of ancient chinese football. I would play too if I wasn't a ghost. Find a Ball for cuju.
Wow, even in ancient China the cuju ball was fancy - with all these drawings! Give it to the sisters. Let's see who's better at scoring goals.
-
Excitement and Meditation
Inspector
Try to feed the fickle Chinese gods with a game of noble mahjong! Nowadays it has turned into a kind of solitaire, but in Mei and Yui's time, it was a challenging and exciting game; similar to poker. Look for a mahjong set.
A magnificent mahjong set! Mei won. She's better at concentrating and clearing her mind. But the gods didn7t release her and Yui.
-
Champion of Kicks
Detective
I've read that even the elite played the ancient Chinese game of jianzi. My friend, propose that Mei and Yui complete in jianzi! Maybe the gods will leave them alone after that. It's a game where you have to kick a feathered shuttlecock with your feet. You'll have to find it first.
What an impressive Chinese shuttlecock! Just look at these feathers. You can see right away that it was found in Emperor's Palace. Mei and Yui are starting the game!
-
Water Games
Monk
I see a lot of things among the gifts in the throne room that will help us arrange a bloodless contest between princesses Mei and Yui. One of the most noble ones is a race of traditional Chinese dragon boats. Find a boat among the treasures.
This Dragon Boat is beautiful and practical. It can withstand a competition. Mei and Yui get into the boats, take the oars and...
-
Reliable Support
Monk
For the princesses to reconcile, they must feel the Emperor's paternal spirit. Yui was deprived of her father and condemned him for his painful choise. For Mei, her father was a mentor and military commander. Look for a Pair of Dragons - the symbol of imperial power. It will help unite the sisters.
-
Wings of Motherly Love
Juliette
Poor princesses, there is so much pain and bitterness in their souls, mon ami! How can we reunite them? It's a pity they didn't have a loving mother around - she would have taught them compassion. Let's find Twin Phoenixes. They are connected to the spirit of the Empress, their mother.
These phoenixes symbolize well-being. No wonder Chinese empresses used them as a symbol of feminine power. The princesses might soften up...
-
Family Guardians
Conductor
Princesses Mei and Yui suffered severe trauma when they were separated at infancy. They must have felt defenseless even under the protection of their gods. Find a pair of heavenly Fu dogs. They protect agains eveil.
Maybe these twin Fu dogs will remind the princesses that they need to protect and care for each other, and not try kill the other half.
-
Swan-like Loyalty
Lady Peacock
It won't be easy to reunite the sisters, whose animosity has lasted a lifetime. We need a simple and cheerful symbol... Like Mandarin Ducks! In China, they symbolize loyalty, as do swans. They are friendly and peaceful creatures. Will you took for Mandarin Ducks?
What wonderful Mandarin Ducks, a real work of art! Give them to the sisters. Oh, merciful spirits of the ancestors, let the girls reconcile...
-
Elusive Luck
Huntress
We must find a way to reconcile Yui and Mei. I see symbolically paired talismans in the throne room. With their help we can remind the twins that they are inseparably connected. After all, it's such luck to have a sister. In ancient china, paired fish were considered a symbol of luck. Look for twin fish.
These Goldfish are as agile and elusive as luck. But they are inseparable, as befits two sisters. Look, did they have any effect on Mei and Yui?
-
Moment of inspiration
Conductor
You forgot about the squire! You won't be in trouble if you have help. That poor butler is out cold. So bring me a smelling salts. We can wake him up.
Wow, that smell...I just can't stand the smell of ammonia. But there's nothing like it to wake up an unconscious person. All right, I'll have the butler sniff out a smelling salve. If he wakes up with this, we can set our master, the baron, free.
-
Sweet Antidote
Mayor
The script says that the conspirators plan to kill actress Miss Connelly as well. Remember the almond smell from her drink? There is now no doubt that there is cyanide in that thing. The role is played by my friend Vanessa Kingsley. Whatever the end of this play, we cannot let her die. Go find some sugar!
Give me that sugar container over here. I'll mix it in Miss Connelly's drink. Did you know that sugar neutralizes cyanide? Anyway, the actress will survive this and her lawyer won't have to be her killer. He will also now have a witness against the Baroness and Count McGrave.
-
cut off the retreat
Isabelle
The lawyers drew up a will stating that all the Baron's possessions would be inherited by the Baroness, not by his beloved daughter. The Baroness and others tried to force the Baron to sign this document. If this document is destroyed, there will be no reason for the Baron to be killed. I have an idea what to do. Bring the candlestick.
Move the candelabra from the fireplace to the desk, near the lawyer. Once he realizes the Count and Baroness are plotting against him, he will know that all he has to do is burn the will. This will give the Baron a chance to survive, and the lawyer has his revolver. There's nothing better than that to protect the Baron.
-
Strange Adulterers
Alex
After reading the threatening letter, the lawyer would suspect the baroness of being unfaithful and would look at the folder. The folder contains the marriage contract she has already signed. The lawyer believes that she signed the marriage contract with him. What will he do if he discovers that the name on the contract is Count McGrave? Look in the Count's pocket for a fake signature stamp.
Good! Put the Earl of McGrave's fake signature on the Baroness's marriage contract. When the lawyer reads this document, he will realize that the baroness has betrayed him. Her goal is to have someone else kill the baron and then place all of the blame for the crime on the lawyer. Then nothing will stand in the way of her marrying the Count and having it all.
-
avenge oneself
Juliette
Hey, honey, we need to show Mr. Turen the proof that he is guilty of the Baron's murder. The baroness wrote a threatening letter to the baron in the name of her lawyer. Find the threatening letter. It's probably around here somewhere.
Here's the threatening letter. "Baron, you are a scoundrel and unworthy of Miss Connelly! Do not think that your disgusting ideas will go unpunished. I will make you regret having dishonored her! Turen," this letter describes the lawyer's motive for killing the baron. This is evidence for the murder charge against the lawyer. But he didn't write this. Put this letter in the lawyer's wallet. Look, the lawyer is reaching for the letter. As soon as he reads it, he will realize that he is being framed.
-
trapped bird
Mayor
Okay, there are only two more people on stage that we don't know. And one of them is the playwright we're looking for, J.L. According to the detectives, one of the missing residents was carrying a corsage. This item could not be attributed to either the man or the woman. We need to check both actors to find the corsage.
Corsages adorned the dresses of the theater's leading actresses. Oh, I recognize this classy item. It belongs to Vanessa Kingsley. She received an invitation from this accursed theater many years ago and then disappeared. All these years she has been Mr. N's puppet, forced to play the role of Elizabeth Connelly?

Dataman's Favorite
Cardsharp
Dear friends, there are only two more actors in this play whose real names I don't know. I found the name Malcolm Grace in the detective's notes. This dandy was very rich and wore a lot of precious metals and jewelry. Find me his golden tiepin.
Hmm, the missing Malcolm Gray isn't poor at all in the play. He's playing the Baron's business partner, Count McGrave. Not only is this necktie pin made of solid gold, it even has a sapphire on it.
