Gameplay tips: The first two clues are already in your notebook. There are no clues in the medical centre so go straight to Curtis Benson's apartment.

Notes: Navigation of the maze at the L.A. County Art Museum is easy so there is no reason to get lost in there, however just in case someone does, here are some directions. Follow the arrow signs to the beginning of the maze. After entering the maze Turn Right and follow the path until you arrive at a junction, Turn Left. Take the next Right, follow the path and take the option to turn Left. There will be some green patches on the ground here. Easy to remember, it is Right, Left, Right, Left – Okay.

The Catacombs are easy – only a Royal Buffoon would get lost in the catacombs!
