Mystery P.I. – Stolen in San Francisco – Game Introduction

A note about this walkthrough

Mystery P.I. – Stolen in San Francisco is a game that relies almost entirely on randomized objects. As a result, no two gaming experiences will be the same. Therefore, the guide, instead of being divided according to “levels”, will be divided into four sections: General Tips; Peace Signs, Keys, & Flashlights; Level End Mini-games, and The Final Puzzle.

General Tips

For the sake of the guide, Peace Signs will be circled in pink, Keys will be circled in green, and Flashlights will be circled in yellown. Collect all 25 Keys and Peace Signs to unlock bonus gameplay modes. Collect all 25 Flashlights to receive an additional +1 million score boost.
Objects listed in ‘quotes’ often require a specific action. I.e. ‘cut the butter’: use a knife on the butter stick, etc.
Objects often have more than one meaning, i.e. bat could refer to the animal or the baseball tool. It could even refer to a word in the picture ‘BAT’.
There are two modes available: Timed and Relaxed. This can be altered at any time from the Options menu.
Hints are available at the cost of a minor score deduction, and will recharge. For unlimited hints, check the Options menu.
