CUTSCENES

The following are cutscenes. When a person is indicated in the cutscene, a small reaction image is placed next to the text box, otherwise it's a plain text box. The cutscenes include the intro, brief text boxes in between quests to help nudge the player in the right direction, dialogue with Soos, Gruncle Stan, Mabel, and Wendy, and the ending. Almost all parentheses are meant to convey a text box without a reaction image, but a handful convey art directions. I will clean this up later in case I find grammatical or formatting errors.

 

INTRO CUTSCENE

 

(Clock starts ticking, it's almost 6)

(Dipper and Mabel look at it intently)

(As soon as it gets near 6 it stops and ticks backward)

Dipper and Mabel: Awww

(The minute hand moves backwards by five minutes)

Dipper and Mabel: Wha?

Mabel: Gruncle Stan, I think time is broken.

Stan: Huh? Oh, the clock. Yeah it needs new batteries. It's been six o'clock for, like, a half hour now.

Mabel Dipper: What?

Stan: You're not getting paid for that by the way. Note to self, next time I'm in town, swipe batteries from someone's clock.

Mabel: Hey, wanna go throw rocks at junk in the parking lot?

Dipper: Nah, I think I've nearly cracked the code to this one passage in the book

Mabel: Ugh

Dipper: What?

Mabel: Nothing.

Dipper: Don't say 'nothing' what is it?

Mabel: Have you ever considered the possibility that you may in fact, be stupendously boring?

Dipper: I'm not boring!

Mabel: Yuh huh.

Dipper: What about all the crazy misadventures we have? You can't walk three feet in this place without tripping over a goblin, or a gnome, or a spatial anomaly!

Mabel: Some people are born 'interesting' Dipper, like me! And others have interesting-ness thrust upon them.

Dipper: Whatever! And besides, if I were boring, which I'm not, I think I deserve an hour of quiet contemplation and personal study here and there.

Mabel: Zzzzzz...huh...wha? Oh sorry, I nodded off in the middle of your weak defense.

Dipper: …

Mabel: ...because you're boring!

Dipper: I get it. I'm going upstairs.

Mabel: Make sure you don't talk to anyone who's operating heavy machinery!

 

Dipper: Pfft. Like throwing rocks at junk is so much more fun than sitting in a dark room alone reading things you don't understand.

 

(A half hour later)

 

Mabel: Hey banana-brain, you figure anything out yet?

Dipper: No...I can't seem to make it out. Wow, you worked up a sweat, what have you been doing?

Mabel: Throwing rocks at junk. It got pretty rigorous out there. Especially with only one person. I'm going to get a glass of water, you want any?

Dipper: ...no...

Mabel: Maybe you should take a step back from the book for a while. You know, clear your mi- whoops!

(Mabel trips holding the glass of water)

(It falls onto and melts the Journal)

Dipper: Mabel! What did you do?

Mabel: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to...wait...did the Journal just melt?

Dipper: Yeah...yeah it did. Wait a sec...this isn't the real Journal, it's a clone from the copy machine!

Mabel: You mean, the book was a clone-book all along?

Dipper: No, I mean, somebody must've cloned the book and replaced the original while we were working...

Mabel: How would you know?

Dipper: I...sort of...dropped it in the toilet this morning so if it were a clone it would've melted...

Mabel: Ew! And you're still reading it?

Dipper: It's not food, Mabel, and I wasn't using the toilet at the time. It must have been Gruncle Stan...

Mabel: Or Soos, or Wendy, or anybody who was at the Shack today.

Dipper: I seriously don't think Wendy could've had anything to do with-

Mabel: The Journal said, don't trust anybody remember?

Dipper: ...yeah, you're right.

Mabel: So anyway, you wanna help me dress up Waddles in different outfits? I figured we could make a calendar and-

Dipper: Mabel! Mystery Solving Time! Priorities!

Mabel: I have a lot of stuff on my plate today, Dipper, and I'm not going to let your Journal which you're OBSESSED with and won't even let me READ derail it!

Dipper: Fine! Besides, I'm the better mystery solver in this family anyway.

Mabel: Gasp, you bite your tongue!

Dipper: I will not, my tongue will remain thoroughly unbitten!

Mabel: Well I'M going to solve this mystery first, AND I'm going to have dibs on Journal reading, AND I'm going to get the photoshoot for the Waddles Cute-alendar done all in one day! I'm going to be like Santa Claus, but with mysteries and adorable pigs instead of toys and cookies!

Dipper: …

(Well, it looks like you have a mystery on your hands. Better start at the only lead you have. The Copy Machine.)

 

TALKING TO GRUNCLE STAN (happens when you attempt to enter the Office before distracting him)

Stan: Hey! I told you kids not to bother me while I'm in here! This is private Grunkle Time!

Dipper: Sorry, Guncle Stan. But, could I just look around for one...

Stan: No! You can't! But if you're so bored that you want to play with office supplies, then I can      find you something to do.

Dipper: No! No, sorry, I, uh, I'll go.

(You're going to need to distract Stan to get him out of that office, but how?)

 

CALLING GRUNCLE STAN ON SOOS'S CELLPHONE

Stan: Stanford Pines, Mystery Shack. Whaddaya want?

Dipper: This is...Tyrone...Dippington...of the Internal Revenue Service

Stan: You couldn't impersonate a Tax Man to save your life Dipper

Dipper: This isn't Dipper...it's Tyrone...Dip...uh

Stan: Yeah, what's your last name, Tyrone?

Dipper: There are certain tax irregularities.

Stan: Okay, Dipper. Listen, you have got to be the worst prank phone caller in the history of phone calls and pranks..

Dipper: Really?

Stan: Sorry kid. Impressions just aren't your thing. You know what I can see you doing? The wild world of accountancy. You'd make a better actual accountant than a fake one.

Dipper: You're not saying I'm boring are you?

Stan: Probably indirectly. Now leave me alone.

(Achievement Unlocked: Harsh Truth: Have your fears and suspicions confirmed by an adult. You suffer a 25% loss to Self Esteem)

 

HAVE BOTH THE DOLLAR BILL AND FISHING POLE IN YOUR INVENTORY (Fishing Pole and (Dollar Bill combine into one item immediately)

(You look at the Fishing Pole...and then the Dollar Bill...Fishing Pole...Dollar Bill. It reminds you of the party at the Mystery Shack. An idea begins to form in your head.)

 

USE FISHING POLE WITH DOLLAR BILL ON HOLE IN THE ATTIC

(You lower the dollar bill into the hole overlooking Gruncle Stan's office. It takes a second, but he finally notices it.)

Stan: Oh please, this played out old gag. I'm not an idiot you knoOOGIVE ME THAT DOLLAR!

(You yank the bill up through the hole. You hear someone stomping up the stairs. Your heart stops as you realize that you're still holding the dollar. You crumple it up and toss it into a corner.)

Stan: You haven't seen any money around here have you?

Dipper: Money? Whatever do you mean?

Stan: Don't play dumb with me! I saw money fly up through a hole in the ceiling...it's gotta be around here somewhere...

Dipper: You saw flying money...

Stan: Yeah...

Dipper: And you're not concerned with this?

Stan: Did you see it or didn't you?

Dipper: …

Dipper: Uh, there it is, it disappeared behind that crate.

Stan: Come here you!

(You worry about Gruncle Stan sometimes. Honest to goodness worry.)

 

AFTER EXAMINING THE GARBAGE CAN NEXT TO THE COPY MACHINE AND RETRIEVING THE POST-IT NOTE ON STAN'S DESK

Stan: Returning to the scene of the crime, eh?

Dipper: What?! No! I don't know what you're talking about! What crime?

Stan: Oh, you know what crime I'm talking about...

Dipper: I do?

Stan: Oh yeah you do. One of you kids, wink, left food all over the office earlier...wink...

Dipper: Oh.

Stan: I had to put it all away thank you very much. I had to carry all those hotdogs to the fridge with my feeble back. Needless to say, I hope you feel terrible.

Dipper: I'm...sorry?

Stan: I don't even know where you got all that food.

Dipper: Yeah...kind of weird.

Stan: Yeah, kind of is.

Dipper: Huh.

Stan: Huh.

Dipper: …

Stan: Get out of my office.

(Looks like the only place to go now is the Fridge, even though you couldn't possibly expect to find anything of use there.)

 

DESCRIPTION OF the FRIDGE BEFORE YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE (default description for the Fridge is further below)

(Stan left a note on the locked fridge)

(Somebody used up all the paper in the Copy Machine and left six bottles of soda and twenty hotdogs in the Office earlier)

(I'm not blaming anyone for this, Dipper, but because of this, I had to put it all away myself. Soda and food are now off-limits.)

(You'll notice I've used an elaborate and complex locking mechanism on the fridge door.

Normally I'd use a regular lock, but it was very expensive and I needed to get some mileage out         of it. PS. I felt compelled to tell you this for reasons I refuse to get into.)

 

USE THE SCREWDRIVER ON THE FRIDGE

(You use the Screwdriver to pry open the lock in a Gordian Knot kind of logic.)

(The Screwdriver snaps in twain.)

(That's either one strong lock or one terrible Screwdriver)

 

USE THE ROCK ON THE FRIDGE

(You heft the handheld rock above your head and bring it down with a crashing thunder against the lock.)

Nothing happens.)

(You do it a few more times just to be sure.)

(Nope. It's a very sturdy lock on a very sturdy fridge.)

(You could sure use one of your Manotaur friends right now.)

(That's not a hint on what to do, it's just an observation.)

 

SOLVE THE PUZZLE USING THE POST-IT NOTE

(The unnecessarily complicated lock has been opened...revealing...)

(19 clone-dogs, and six bottles of clone-soda)

(Attached to a hotdog is a note)

(“Tell Prime that the Journal is ours. I'll hide with it outside the Shack until further notice. With Love, Beta”)

(Who is this Beta? Whoever they are, they're outside the Shack somewhere. You scan the fridge for any further clues.)

(The only other thing you see is...)

(...a fast-food taco.)

(You don't know why, but looking at it makes you feel uneasy. It's...unsettling.)

(You quickly close the fridge and put it out of your mind.)

 

UPON WALKING OUTSIDE AFTER SOLVING THE FRIDGE PUZZLE

(As you walk outside, you hear hushed voices)

Voice 1: He's coming! Take this! Get back to base!

Voice 2: Quick! Hide!

(You hear the sound of a loud Kathunk)

(You inspect the Ice Machine. Something's not quite right. You put your ear to it. Somebody's definitely inside of it!)

(You try to open it, but it's locked!)

(You reach inside your pocket for the President's Key that you received from Quentin Trembley.)

(Or...you would if you hadn't used it as a bookmark for the Journal earlier today.)

(Good going Dipper. You're really on the ball today.)

 

CLICKING ON THE ICE MACHINE WHILE THE PERSON IS INSIDE IT

(You inspect the Ice Machine. Something's not quite right. You put your ear to it. Somebody's definitely inside of it!)

(You try to open it, but it's locked!)

(You reach inside your pocket for the President's Key that you received from Quentin Trembley.)

(Or...you would if you hadn't used it as a bookmark for the Journal earlier today.)

(Good going Dipper. You're really on the ball today.)

(There's only one person you know who has the keys to everything in the Mystery Shack.)

 

TALKING TO SOOS ABOUT THE ICE MACHINE

Dipper: Hey Soos. Do you have the key to the Ice Machine?

Soos: Oh no, you didn't close it did you?

Dipper: ...maaaybe...

Soos: The key on that thing's been lost for years, dood. Like, since before I started working here.

Dipper: What?!

Soos: Don't worry though, it automatically unlocks when you turn on the defrost function.

Dipper: Function?

Soos: Yeah. To get it to defrost you gotta do this certain procedure or somethin'. I've never had to do it myself, but Mr. Pines probably knows how.

Dipper: Thanks, Soos!

Soos: Don't mention it, dood!

 

TALKING TO GRUNCLE STAN ABOUT THE ICE MACHINE

Dipper: Gruncle Stan, how do you get the Ice Machine to defrost?

Stan: You didn't lock it did you?

Dipper: ...maaaybe...

Stan: That was premium ice, Dipper! I had to have it specially imported!

Dipper: Isn't it just water from the hose that you freeze in blocks?

Stan: Specially-Imported! All the way from the reservoir!

Dipper: I don't think that's culinary water, Gruncle Stan.

Stan: I expect you to pay off every ounce of that Ice!

Dipper: That should take, what, like five minutes? I mean, I don't know, but I think you get secondary water for free...

Stan: Don't get cute with me, kid!

Dipper: Okay, okay, okay, I'll pay you back. How do I get it to defrost?

Stan: Well, it's sorta complicated. Lemme just go out there and take a look.

Dipper: No! I mean, it's my mess, I'll take care of it.

Stan: Hmmm...well, okay. The first thing you do is...

Dipper: Yeah?

Stan: You find a rock...

Dipper: Yeah?

Stan: And then you smash the ice machine with it.

Dipper: ...yeah?

Stan: That's it.

Dipper: You hit it with a rock and that turns on the defroster?

Stan: What do you want from me?

 

USE ROCK ON ICE MACHINE WHILE PERSON IS INSIDE

(You start knocking on the Ice Machine with your trusty Rock and suddenly you hear loud clanking noises)

(A loud hum emanates from the machine)

(Water starts to leak out the sides)

Voice: Aww, weak!

(After a few minutes the machine returns to normal and the hatch clicks open to reveal...)

(A puddle of water. Just, a puddle of water. A puddle of apparently premium specially imported water from the hose.)

(Did you...imagine those voices?)

(Are you going crazy?)

 

EXAMINING THE ICE MACHINE AFTER OPENING IT

(Upon further inspection, you notice a small note at the bottom of the puddle)

(The ink is smudged in some places because of the water, but parts of it are still readable)

(“Dear Beta...Prime requests your presence at...there will be soda and hotdogs...reading of the Journal will commence at...Wax Stan...”)

(“commence at Wax Stan?” What does Wax Stan have to do with any of this?)

(Where is Wax Stan these days anyway?)

 

TALK TO GRUNCLE STAN ABOUT WAX STAN

Dipper: Hey Gruncle Stan...

Stan: Yeah?

Dipper: I've been wondering,whatever happened to Wax Stan?

Stan: He was too good for this world...

Dipper: Oh no, what happened?

Stan: What? Nothing, you know, aside from the beheading. I just locked him up in that one storage room so he doesn't get more even more dismembered.

Dipper: Oh. Okay. Thanks Gruncle Stan!

 

TALK TO SOOS ABOUT WAX STAN

Dipper: Hey, Soos...

Soos: That's my name, like, my full name.

Dipper: I've been wondering whatever happened to Wax Stan?

Soos: Oh, him? Mr. Pines had me move him to that one room with all the wax figures.

Dipper: Thanks, Soos!

 

CLICK ON SECRET ROOM IN THE HALLWAY AFTER TALKING ABOUT WAX STAN

(The room where Soos discovered the wax figures. You need to get inside. This secret meeting or whatever is congregating at Wax Stan as we speak...but the door knob is missing.)

 

TALK TO SOOS ABOUT THE DOORKNOB SITTING NEXT TO HIM

Dipper: Hey Soos, may I please have that doorknob...

Soos: Sorry dood, only senior Mystery Shack staff members are allowed to hold the knob.

Dipper: Wha?

Soos: Captain's Orders. You know that crazy secret wax statue room? Mr Pines is keeping Wax     Stan in there for extra security, what with all the beheadings and whatnot. Say, whatever happened to all those wax statues anyway?

Dipper: They came to life and tried to kill me, Mabel, and Stan so we melted them using candles and the sun.

Soo: Oh...nice.

(Looks like it's Soos's turn to get distracted...somehow)

 

USE ROCK ON AIR CONDITIONER IN HALLWAY TO DISTRACT SOOS

(You heft the handheld rock above your head and bring it down with a crashing thunder on the innocent air-conditioner.)

(It rattles to a halt and you can already feel the temperature start to rise.)

(It was for a good cause, noble air-conditioner.)

 

TALK TO SOOS ABOUT AIR CONDITIONER (after you've broken it)

Soos: Sup, dood.

Dipper: Soos! The air-conditioner stopped working!

Soos: Oh dang, I guess I better get right on that.

Dipper: ...

Dipper: So, uh, when are you going to get right on that exactly...

Soos: Probably after I finish here, and after I'm done fixing the leak in the shower upstairs, then there's a few shingles on the roof I need to take care of. What with the air conditioner broken, I'll probably be here til eight or so.

Dipper: Oh...

Soos: Yup, it's a hard life I've chosen to live, but I bare my burden gladly for the smiles on the children's faces (and occasionally money) from a job well done.

(Wonderful! Now not only have you progressed backwards (air-conditioner-wise) you've also managed to make Soos' day that much harder! You feel terrible about yourself and the decisions you've made.)

(25% Self-Esteem Loss.)

 

USE RED LASER POINTER TO DISTRACT SOOS

(You shine the Red Laser Pointer erratically on the wall behind Soos)

Soos: Pfft, a RED Laser Pointer. That's a little played out don't you think? Now if it were a GREEN Laser Pointer then we'd be talking.

 

TALK TO MABEL ABOUT THE GREEN LASER POINTER NEXT TO HER

Dipper: Hey, can I borrow the laser pointer?

Mabel: No, you may not borrow the laser pointer.

Dipper: But it'll help me crack the case! You know, the case? The case that you're apparently also trying to solve?

Mabel: First of all, the laser pointer helps Waddles find his mark. And second, I've already got        this case figured out. I just have so much time on my hands that I'm finishing up the Cute-alendar first.

Dipper: If you have it all figured out then where's the Journal?

Mabel: Typical Dipper. Asking his sister to do all the heavy-lifting while he sits idly by pining after Wendy and reading stupid books.

Dipper: You don't have the Journal do you...

Mabel: I can give the Journal to you anytime you like...

Dipper: Then give it to me.

Mabel: ...I just don't wanna.

Dipper: Ugh.

(This was about as useful as you thought it was going to be.)

 

USE RED LASER POINTER TO DISTRACT WADDLES

(You shine the Red Laser Pointer on the wall behind Waddles.)

(Waddles casually looks over at the Red Laser Pointer...and doesn't move.)

(Maybe pigs can't see the color red? Or maybe Red Laser Pointers are just so played out that they don't work as distractions anymore.)

 

THROW ROCK AT MABEL

Dipper: Listen, Mabel. If you don't give me that Green Laser Pointer, then...then things are going to get ugly around here.

Mabel: Oh Dipper...why do you choose to play games that you know you can't win?

(Mabel is holding a bucket of rocks)

(One severe pummeling with rocks later)

Mabel: Say Uncle!

Dipper: Uncle! Uncle!

Mabel: Now say, Gruncle!

Dipper: Gruncle!

Mabel: Now say, Mother Mary Makes Merry Mincemeat Muffins on Monday Mornings

Dipper: Mother Mary...Makes...Mince

She throws a rock at you

Dipper: Ow!

Mabel: Give up?

Dipper: Yes! About five times now!

(When it comes to chess or mind-games, you're clearly superior, but when it comes to poker, the occasional video-game, and throwing rocks, no one surpasses The Mabel.)

 

USE CANDY-BYPRODUCT COVERED APPLE ON WADDLES

(You roll the Candy Byproduct Covered Apple like a grenade along the floor)

(Waddles, being a dumb pig, ruins the shot and waddles over to the feast)

(Mabel unthinkingly leaves her purse unattended)

(It's a good thing that pigs can't discern between things like Candy and Candy Byproduct)

 

TALK TO WADDLES AFTER GETTING THE GREEN LASER POINTER

(Waddles is dressed up in a pair of liederhosen and an adorable little pair of stockings. You're not even sure how stockings for pigs work, but Mabel pulled it off.)

Dipper: How's it going, Waddles?

Waddles: Wehck whonk.

Dipper: Good for you, Waddles...good for you...

Mabel: Dipper! You're distracting Waddles!

(She reaches next to her)

Mabel: Hey, where did it go?

 

USE GREEN LASER POINTER ON SOOS

(You shine the green laser at the wall behind Soos)

Soos: A GREEN Laser Dot? Now that's something worth devoting about three fourths of my attention to

(You move the dot into the other room with a delighted Soos trailing behind it. The knob is now like the Duchess unguarded, alone, and vulnerable)

 

USE SCREWDRIVER ON SECRET ROOM DOOR

(You jam the screwdriver into the hole and pull with all your might.)

(The screwdriver immediately snaps in twain.)

(This is the worst screwdriver in the history of drivers and screwing.)

 

HAVE THE STRING, ENVELOPE, AND BUTTER KNIFE IN YOUR INVENTORY

(You saw this in a movie once, where a spy used an envelope, string, and butter knife to open a door)

 

USE THE OL' ENVELOPE STRING BUTTER KNIFE TRICK ON SECRET ROOM DOOR

(You slide the Envelope with the string attached into the hole between the door and the wall and let it fall to the ground.)

(You look under the door and carefully guide the Envelope back with the Butter Knife)

(You slowly pull both sides of the string out to unlock the door and)

(...the string snaps in twain.)

(All that Adventure Game Logic wasted!)

 

USE THE KNOB ON THE SECRET ROOM DOOR

(You attach the doorknob you swiped from Soos.)

(The door is locked! You're not even sure on the logistics of how this works exactly! You'll need to find the keys.)

 

ASK SOOS FOR KEYS TO SECRET ROOM DOOR (Soos returns to previous position after you leave the room)

Dipper: Soos, I need the keys to the secret wax figure room!

Soos: No can do little buddy.

Dipper: But...but I really need to get inside there!

Soos: No, I mean, I can't do it. I don't have the keys.

Dipper: What?!

Soos: Wendy had to borrow them before closing time and who knows where she could be right now!

Dipper: ...great.

Soos: Plus, even if she had the keys, she wouldn't be allowed to give them to you.

Dipper: Senior Mystery Shack Staff only, huh?

Soos: Sorry, dood.

 

UPON ENTERING THE ROOF

(There she is! The fiery-haired hopeless crush of your dreams! And she's sleeping...it looks like she fell fast asleep in the middle of sending a text with her phone.)

(And the keys are right beneath her. They must've fallen out of her pocket. Maybe she won't notice they're down there.)

(You go to wake her up...)

(…)

(…)

(No you don't.)

(She's just...beautiful there...resting in the sunlight...)

(The following the conversation takes place inside your head.)

Dipper 1: I need the keys to get the Journal back.

Dipper 2: She'll be really mad that we woke her up though.

Dipper 1: But...priorities...

Dipper 2: Priorities Shmiorities! Look at her! She looks so peaceful!

Dipper 1: Yeah...she looks...peaceful...like a...sleeping baby kitten...or an angel...

Dipper 2: I can sympathize with needing to get the Journal back, but do you really want Wendy to think of you as an annoying little kid?

Dipper 1: Huh?

Dipper 2: Are you...are we staring at her while she's sleeping?

Dipper 1: ...maybe.

Dipper 2: Do you realize how creepy that is! What if she's not sleeping at all? What if she's just sunbathing?

Dipper 1: Ooh, you're right. What do we do?

Dipper 2: Well, there's got to be a way to wake her up without making it look like we did it.

Dipper 1: But how?

Dipper 2: Think, Dipper, think!

 

THROW ROCK AT WENDY

(You've come to the determination that you've thrown enough things at Wendy's face for a lifetime)

 

CALL WENDY USING SOOS'S CELLPHONE

(You dial her number on Soos's cell-phone.)

(It rings and rings until...)

Wendy: (sleepily) Hello?

(Your knees begin to feel weak. You could hang up the phone now that she's awake, but you decide to do your best Soos impression instead.)

Dipper: Uh...hey Wendy, are you still in the Mystery Shack?

Wendy: Dipper? You do a terrible Soos impression, dude.

Dipper: Really?

Wendy: Yeah, but if you work on it, you can be as good as me someday. Listen to this. (Wendy's  Soos Impression) Hey dood, this is Soos, I clean toilets for fun because Stan is like some kind         of weird authority figure in my life.

Dipper: Hah, that really does sound like Soos.

Wendy: I've had some time to work on it. Anyway, talk to ya later.

(Her impression was uncanny. How did she even get her voice that low?)

(Good going though, you revealed you identity through your horrible impression skills.)

(She's probably seething with hatred right now.)

TALK TO WENDY ABOUT KEYS

Dipper: Hey, Wendy...

Wendy: Oh, hey Dipper. Thanks for waking me up. I probably would've slept til sundown. You really helped me out, buddy.

Dipper: Heh, you're welcome.

(Your heart screams internally.)

Wendy: So what's up?

Dipper: Can...can I have...

(Your mind goes blank)

Dipper: ...can...I...

Dipper 2: What are you doing? If you tell her about the keys she'll have to give them to Soos!

Dipper: ...k-k-k-k-

Dipper 2: Dude, say something, or she'll think you're saying you want to kiss her!

(Your cheeks flush red)

Dipper: koooollllllllness...

Dipper 2: …

Wendy: …uh...

(Your cheeks flush a redness that's brighter than the sun)

Dipper: ...just like you? I mean, sorry, I can't talk today! How can I be cool just like you?

Wendy: Oh. Well, for starters, a lot of my coolness I'm just born with, so you know, no luck there.

Dipper: Oh really?

(Your knees shake)

Wendy: And then you just gotta say what's on your mind, like, all the time.

Dipper: Interesting!

(You realize you've been sweating profusely)

Wendy: And lastly, you can't care about what other people think of you.

Dipper: Fantastic! Utterly fantastic! Well, I gotta get going!

Wendy: Cool, see ya later Dipper.

Dipper: Are, uh, you going to go too?

Wendy: Nah, I'll just stick around here for a while. I got nothin' going on.)

(That's where she's wrong, of course. She's got all of it going on...all the time.)

(Wow, you almost blew it in several different ways.)

(What were you thinking? Talking to Wendy like that!)

(That's a fool's game, Dipper!)

(She probably thinks you're the lamest kid to ever walk out of Lame-Town)

(Lame-Town: Population Dipper)

TELL WENDY ABOUT ROBBIE'S POSTER

(You steel yourself. You're about to do something deplorable...bringing Robbie and Wendy together...)

Dipper: So are you going to Robbie's thing tonight?

Wendy: Oh, was his thing tonight?

Dipper: Yeah, it says so on this poster.

Wendy: Ugh, I guess I better since we're going out and everything. Thanks for telling me.

Dipper: No problem...

Wendy: Catch ya later dork.

(On the one hand, she left the keys behind, but on the other hand, she leaves you behind as well...again.)

(Your heart snaps in twain like a cheaply made screwdriver. 25% Loss to Self Esteem.)

(Newsflash Dipper. The Dippers lose. The Dippers always lose.)

(In retrospect, if you had told her that Soos asked you to get his keys she probably would have given them to you. But that would've been lying. And lying is wrong.)

(And it also prevents certain convenient adventure-game story-telling conventions.)

WALK INTO FIREPLACE ROOM AFTER GETTING BOTH KNOB AND KEYS

(Huh, Mabel's gone. And so is Waddles. You pray they're all right.)

WALK INTO OFFICE AFTER CONVERSATION AFTER GETTING BOTH KNOB AND KEYS

(Where's Gruncle Stan? Where is everybody?)

WALK INTO LIVING ROOM AFTER GETTING BOTH KNOB AND KEYS

(Even Soos is gone. What's happening?)

 

USE KEYS TO UNLOCK SECRET ROOM DOOR

(You unlock the door using the Keys)

(This is it. The mystery is about to be solved. This little game is about to end...)

 

(The room is dark, and a number of small figures are silhouetted in the shadows)

Voice: Looking for your precious Journal, eh Dipper?

Dipper: Who are you? What do you want with the Journal?

Voice: Our purposes are many, and our resources are limitless...

Dipper: You didn't answer my question.

Voice: Why do we require the Journal? Simple. To teach you a lesson, boy!

Dipper: What?

Voice: You heard me, underlings...teach this upstart a lesson...

Dipper: No!

Mabel: PSYCHE!

Dipper: ...what?!

(The lights go up, revealing the figures are actually four or five Mabels including a Paper Jam Mabel)

They're surrounded by hot-dogs and soda

Mabel: I'm Mabel Prime! And these are my many clone-sisters!

Dipper: You used the Copy Machine on yourself?!

Mabel: Uh, duh!  This is Mabel-Delta, Mabel-Gamma, Mabel-Epsilon...

Dipper: But...but what about...

Mabel: Paper-Jam Mabel, I don't know where Mabel-Beta is, I sent her an invitation...

Dipper: ...uh...

Mabel: After copying myself last night, my productivity's increased ten-fold! I got all my chores done, one of me went to hang out with Candy and Grenda, I finished the Cute-alendar...

Dipper: The Journal! What about the Journal?

Mabel: Oh, yeah, we took that to teach you a lesson.

Dipper: About what?!

Mabel: About not being boring! About not being so uptight all the time!

Dipper: …

Mabel: Think about it! You pulled a prank on Gruncle Stan, you solved puzzles, you pulled a fire-alarm! Dipper! Pulling a fire-alarm! Wait, did you pull the fire-alarm? I thought I heard it, but I'm not sure. That thing's kind of wonky. Plus you totally beefed it with Wendy...

Dipper: How did you-

Mabel: Hello! Clone-army! I've got eyes and ears everywhere! So many moments for the Scrapbook today!

Dipper: Mabel...

Mabel: We left a path of clues and riddles...

Dipper: Mabel...

Mabel: And you followed our trail of bread-crumbs here! Our clever little game finally came to a-

Dipper: MABEL!

Mabel: What?

Dipper: Come on! Really?

Mabel: Seriously, what?!

Dipper: Trail of bread-crumbs? Riddles? I've been all over the Mystery Shack swiping...random...things, and distracting pigs, Gruncle Stan, and Soos to get in here! There was only one puzzle, and that was from Gruncle Stan who put a lock on the fridge for something YOU did! Wendy is going to hang out with Robbie, Soos isn't going to get his work done tonight, Gruncle Stan is mad at me, and I just wasted an afternoon frantic and going out of my skull because I thought a bunch of gnomes or one of my missing clones took the Journal!

Mabel: Missing clones?

Dipper: Not only did you lead me on a wild goose chase, you inadvertently lead me on the WRONG wild goose chase!

Mabel: Listen bro, we've been working on this all night, and I'm just going to call this a victory.

Mabels: A victory!

Mabel: Paper-dogs and Paper-Soda all around!

Dipper: Journal...now?!

Mabel: Oh yeah, here it is. Hey, you gotta try this Paper-Soda. I mean, yeah it tastes like paper and all, but you kind of get used to i-

Mabel 2: PAPER-JAM MABEL! DON'T USE THAT PARTY-POPPER!

Paper-Jam Mabel: Nyengnyeng nyeng nyeng nyeng!(But these things are so fun! They're like tiny fireworks!)

(Paper-Jam Mabel uses the Party-Popper which shoots little paper ribbons and very hot sparks everywhere)

(Paper-Jam Mabel catches on fire)

Paper-Jam Mabel: NYENG NYENG NYENG! (Sweet release, I await thee!)

Mabel: She died as she lived...on fire...

(The fire from Paper-Jam Mabel's immolation sets off the selective fire alarm system)

(The room is doused in water and the clones begin to melt)

Mabel Clones: Awww

Mabel: …

Dipper: ...

Mabel: Well I think we all learned a valuable lesson today.

Dipper: And what's that?

Mabel: Never give highly flammable party-favors to clones made from paper.

Dipper: …

Dipper: Wanna go throw rocks at junk in the parking lot?

Mabel: ...sure.

 

THE END

 

EXAMINABLE FLAVOR TEXT

The following are locations within the game. Clicking on the items described herein brings up the text boxes, gets you items, and in one case opens a puzzle (the fridge).

 

BEDROOM

 

-Desk

(It's not so much a desk as it is a small table. At what point does a small table become a desk? Maybe a desk is like a nomenclature of utility? Like, you can use a box as a desk, but not a desk as a box? But that doesn't mean that this desk ever stops being a table. You take a note to look up some information on this later)

(...wow, Mabel might be right. Maybe you are boring.)

 

-Mabel's Poster

(Mabel's poster of some teen heart throb. You swore you saw her “practicing” her kissing on it one day. What was that guy's name again? He looks kind of like that one guy. You know, that one guy. Name rhymes with some kind of woodland critter. Muskrat? Woodchuck? Stout?)

 

-Trunk

(This old trunk probably has a lot of interesting history inside of it. It probably has old photographs, clothes, and trinkets from when Great Uncle Stan was but a mere Uncle. It probably contains nostalgic memorabilia from the days of yore, entwined with memories too painful to be kept above the mantle-piece. These lost relics could tell a story hidden from remembrance but have been locked away in the most secure location of all, the gaps of the human mind. You're tempted to plumb the secrets of this tattered leather vault and see who Stan really is, to learn his story,)

(but...it's really dusty.)

(And it smells kind of funny.)

(And putting it all back after getting it out would just be a hassle.)

(And the dust.)

(Maybe later...or not.)

 

-Beds

(Beds: You can't help but notice that your bed is well made and immaculate, and Mabel's...isn't...just sayin'.)

 

-Painting of Old Ship

(This painting is so old, that when it was made a century ago they painted it in sepia tone. That's how old it is.)

 

-Game

(If this were an adventure game, this would be some kind of mini-game that gave you some kind of plot-sensitive item or clue upon completing. It probably would involve some variant of whack-a-mole. But this isn't an adventure game. This is real life, Dipper old boy. And you have to live in it.)

 

-Mirror

(Lookin' good buddy.)

 

ATTIC STORAGE ROOM

 

-Window

(Looking at this window gives you the jibblies. It sure has a weird design on it. A triangle with an eye in the middle? You wonder if the symbols on this stain glass mean anything? ...nah.)

 

-Crate

(Just a crate. An unassuming crate of literal non-importance. The lack of attention that destiny has applied to this crate is mind-boggling. If the universe itself were to look directly at this crate all it would see is a crate-shaped pocket of air. You're tempted to look inside this crate just on the off chance that such an innocent object you would be oblivious to otherwise secretly holds some kind of narrative device or important item. Nope. You gave into temptation and looked. It's empty. Frankly, you feel embarrassed for even bothering.)

 

-Hole

(There's a tiny hole in the floorboards. You peak down it and see Gruncle Stan's office! All you can really see though is the Copy Machine.)

 

HALLWAY:

 

-Air Conditioner

(This ol' air-conditioner keeps the entire house a nice solid 72 degrees Celsius. It's done nothing but want to please it's owners all these years, and as far as you know, it's never failed anyone. Rest well, friend.)

 

-Secret Room Door

(There is no reason to revisit this old room. Plus as far as you know, there's nothing in here...except for bad memories. It only rates slightly higher than the Crate in the Attic as far as cosmic importance goes. Plus the door-knob's missing again, so it'd be impossible to get into even if you wanted to.)

 

-Fire Alarm

(The Fire Alarm is weird and faulty. Sometimes it detects fires and goes off, sometimes it has to pulled manually.)

(Sometimes it sprinkles water where the fire is, sometimes it sprinkles no water at all.)

(You pull the Fire Alarm and a loud ringing goes off.)

(Certain sections of the Mystery Shack are sprinkled with water.)

(Any second now you expect everyone to start fleeing the Shack allowing you complete access to everything in the chaos...)

(Any second now...)

(The ringing and sprinkling stop and the Fire Alarm resets.)

(Seriously you guys? Seriously?)

(Nothing?)

 

(You're going to have a long talk with Gruncle Stan and Mabel on proper Fire Alarm Drill Procedures and OSHA standards.)

 

LIVING ROOM:

 

-Armchair

(Many a hairbrush, remote, and car-key have found their way to the bottom of the armchair's cushioned canyons, but never any loose change. Gruncle Stan sweeps it daily.)

 

-Fake Aquarium

(Placeholder? What's that?)

 

-TV

(Constable: And what exactly are you insinuating, Ducktective?)

(Ducktective: Wah Wack Quack Quack, Wack Wack, Quack.)

(Constable: How could you suggest such a thing? After all we've been through?!)

(Ducktective: Quack quack quack! Weck Wack Wack...Quack!)

(Constable: You are presumptuous as you are feathered and buoyant! I've cleaned up your messes before Ducktective, but I'd never thought I'd have to be the one that puts you in your place!)

(Ducktective: Quack Wack Wack!)

(Constable: I thought we were friends, Ducktective, brothers in arms...)

(Ducktective: Weck weck, Wack, Quack weck weck Quack.)

(Constable: Then so be it, I'll find the real killer before you put an innocent man in jail...me...)

(Fantastic, on top of losing the Journal, you're also missing the season finale of Ducktective! And on top of that, you're so frustrated that you miss any thematic ties that this brief snippet might have shared with your own life. Glorious!)

 

-Table

(It can be said that when it comes to most games, you beat Mabel hands down. But during weekly poker night at the table, she devastates everybody in the room. If it weren't several shades of illegal, Gruncle Stan would have entered her in a few high-stakes games by now.)

 

-Dinosaur Skull End Table

(There are a few dead giveaways as to why this dinosaur skull isn't real. First of all, Stan uses the eye-sockets to open bottlecaps. Secondly, if it were real, Stan would've sold it already. And thirdly, and perhaps the most telling of all, it's in the Mystery Shack.)

 

-Soos (fixing the fake aquarium)

Soos: Hey bro

Dipper: What's up Soos?

Soos: Just fixin' this ol' thingamawhatsit. There's a light here that just won't light on one side.

Dipper: Have you noticed any...unusual activity around here lately?

Soos: Dood, you're reading my mind. I've been seeing these tiny people out of the corner of my eye, and every time I go to look at them they disappear.

Dipper: Oh yeah?

Soos: And I hear them whispering sometimes too, like, about a plan or something. You know what this means, dood...

Dipper: What? What does it mean?

Soos: Aliens, dood.

Dipper: …maybe...

(Soos is sadly mistaken. You're hedging your bets that it's gnomes at this point. Poor simple Soos.) (There's no such thing as aliens.)

(It'll never be aliens.)

 

KITCHEN:

 

-Fridge

(Gruncle Stan went from having a barely stocked bachelor fridge to an almost barely stocked 'reluctant parental guardian' fridge. You notice that there's an odd looking lock keeping the fridge door closed.)

 

-Counter

(Various cooking related items scatter the countertop. None of them are younger than 1975 and none of them have probably been used since the early 2000's.)

 

-Pantry

(A wooden pantry. Wait a sec, does this place have a sink? Who's been doing the dishes this whole time? And how?)

 

-Garbage Can

(It's a garbage can. What do you want from me?)

 

GIFT SHOP:

 

-Cash Register

(Many homes have something at its heart that the entire place centers around. Some homes have a fireplace with photos on the mantlepiece. Others have living rooms with glass cases or bookshelves filled with knick-knacks. This place has the Cash Register. You contemplate taking a measly dollar from the till, but you're too much of goody-goody to do something like that. Plus every time you do something underhanded everyone around you has a sixth sense about it.)

 

-T-Shirts

(There are a number of shirts here for sale in no particular order. Panther Shirt, I Was Confused At the Mystery Shack of Gravity Falls Oregon, I Endured The Mystery Shack of Gravity Falls Oregon and All I Got Was This T Shirt, Puma Shirt, Come See The Mysterious Myths and Legendary Legends at Gravity Falls Oregon, Question Mark...dang, it sure would be nice to be able to purchase these things on-line at one point. Gravity Falls and Mystery Shack merchandise would sell like hot-cake out in the real world...)

(and by that you mean the world outside of Gravity Falls Oregon.)

 

-Merchandise 1

(Foam hats, occult books, snowglobes...you're not sure how Stan was able to acquire foam hats, books, and snowglobes that contain worrying amounts of lead, but he found a way. Also among the cheap cheap items are Party Poppers. These things are so fun! They're like tiny fireworks! Too bad these are the cheapest ones money can buy. They were made by an Eastern European nation, like, twenty years ago. Whoever made them probably also made bombs for a living. These things are so dangerous that you consider stealing them just so you can dispose of them safely.)

 

-Merchandise 2

(Rubber toys of snakes, rats, and spiders, Gruncle Stan bobble-heads, geodes that you're certain at this point spontaneously materialize at every gift shop in existence, and small plastic toys so cheap, that they go back around and somehow make money before they're even sold.)

 

-Merchandise 3

(Grappling hooks. An entire box full of functional high quality grappling hooks. They're not even priced that high. What is even the deal?)

 

-Museum

(You quickly come to the determination that nothing of import can be found in the Mystery Shack's museum, and not just because there's very little reference to it's layout and the writer of this game is lazy.)

 

-Vending Machine

(Some people think this is a vending machine, but it's actually an overly complicated roulette wheel. Put your money in, make your selection, and maybe MAYBE you'll win big and it won't get stuck. It looks like the floor's been regularly scraped here. Best not question it, you have more important things to worry about.)

 

-Thing In Glass Case

(This looks like one of those things from that one tabletop roleplaying game series. The one with Dragons and also Dungeons. And this creature with it's one giant eye and no limbs looks like it beholds a lot of things. As if Beholding is an accurate term one would use to describe its primary function.)

 

-Fake Aquarium

(You're not sure what creature this used to be, but it most certainly isn't a mermaid...and you're someone who can confirm the existence of gnomes, ghosts, and time-travelers from the future.)

 

OUTSIDE:

 

-Ice Machine

(An ancient chill-chest half filled with ice. Ice and it's cousin water are very common thing in Gravity Falls since most of planet Earth is covered in it...)

 

-Pitt Cola Machine

(A Pitt Cola Machine. It has all the best sodas here. Pitt Cola, Dr. Pitt, Mountain Pitt, Pitt-Classic, and even that gross Pitt Zero.)

 

-One Cent Machine

(Does this machine smash pennies into really flat pennies? Is it one of those old-timey movie boxes where you watch a ten second moving picture? What exactly does this thing do? You don't have any pennies so you guess you'll never find out. It would make sense though that Gruncle Stan keeps this around so that when people waste pennies on it so he can tell them that it's an antique that doesn't work. That way he won't have to refund them.)

 

-Rock That Looks Like A Face Rock

(The Rock That Looks Like A Face. Is it a face that looks like a rock? Or a rock that looks like a face? Is it both? Undoubtedly, if it were a face that looked like a rock, its owner would be featured in a future episode...)

(...of events...)

(...which take place here at the Mystery Shack.)

 

ROOFTOP:

 

-Ice chest

(You're not sure how Wendy lugged this thing up the ladder. Must have something to do with the lumberjack blood coursing through her veins.)

-Wendy (after you've woken her)

Dipper: Hey Wendy, what's up?

Wendy: I just spent half the work-day sleeping and Stan probably didn't even notice. All in all, it was a good day.

Dipper: Aren't you a little worried that he'll catch you one day?

Wendy: What can I say? I like to live dangerously.

She fusses your hat a little

You'd ask her to marry you if you weren't twelve-years old, broke, and had actually gone on a date with her.

 

FIREPLACE ROOM:

 

-Fireplace

(You don't know what else to call this room, except the Fireplace Room. It's weird calling it the Funeral Room or the Room Where You Melted Coolio.)

 

-Mabel

Dipper: So Mabel, what's up?

Mabel: Just finishing up the Cute-alendar. If we can convince Gruncle Stan to promote it, it'll be all the rage!

Dipper: Don't you have bigger things to worry about right now?

Mabel: ...

Dipper: …

Mabel: …

Dipper: …

Mabel: ...nope! I'd say I'm exactly where I need to be.

Dipper: Really?

Mabel: Yup! The universe wants me to finish this Cute-alendar Dipper. At this exact moment in space-time, I am one with my place in the cosmic balance!

Dipper: ...

 

-Waddles

Waddles is dressed up in a pair of liederhosen and an adorable little pair of stockings. You're not even sure how stockings for pigs work, but Mabel pulled it off.

Dipper: How's it going, Waddles?

Waddles: Wehck whonk.

Dipper: Good for you, Waddles...good for you...

Mabel: Dipper! You're distracting Waddles!

She shines the Green Laser Pointer onto a spot on the floor and Waddles walks over to it, attempting to eat the dot.

 

OFFICE:

 

-Copy Machine

(This Copy Machine looks like it was made in the middle of a war-zone from three different very broken copy machines on the fly. You'd plumb its secrets to find what causes it to clone anything it touches, but...you're really tired.)

 

-Gruncle Stan's Desk

(It's a worn wooden desk cluttered with books, receipts, office supplies, and a few post-it notes. There's a telephone on it too, one of those ancient rotary ones that looks fun but isn't worth the effort of owning.)

(There's a post-it note here that looks particularly interesting though)

 

-Filing Cabinets

(These filing cabinets are locked. Normally this would spurn you to find some manner of Filing Cabinet Key, but these are in fact, useless cabinets. See Attic Storage Room Crate description for further details.)

 

-Garbage Can

(Looks like a whole lot of paper has been thrown away recently. Each sheet has a cutout of something on it. It looks like...hotdogs? And soda bottles? And a few of the cutouts have some kind of humanoid shape, but...you can't quite place the figure...)

 

-Gruncle Stan

Dipper: Hey Gruncle Stan, how's it going?

Stan: Oh, I'm doing fantastic Dipper. Cleaning up after my niece and nephew. Getting bothered in my office during Gruncle Time.

Dipper: Oh, sorry, I can come back...

Stan: No, please stay. We can have a conversation about all the chores you're going to do if you keep it up!

Dipper: I'm going, I'm going...

 

ITEMS:

 

-Dollar Bill: Vending Machine

(You see something sticking out of the slot...could Gruncle Stan have been so careless as to not notice this?)

(Dipper received the One Dollar Bill!)

(You're on the fast track to money-ville)

 

-Fishing Pole: Hallway

(Hey it's Gruncle Stan's fishing pole! Since you're all banned from the lake for the duration of the summer, he probably won't mind if you borrow it for a while.)

(Dipper received the Fishing Pole)

 

-Soos's Cellphone: Next to Cash Register

(Soos was fixing the Cash Register earlier, and it looks like he left his cellphone behind. You don't know why you don't just go give this to Soos. He doesn't have any missed calls or texts or anything. As you put the phone in your pocket you guiltily tell yourself that he probably has unlimited talk and text so you won't use up any of his minutes if you call anyone. This is what most people call 'Justification.')

(Pre-meditated excuses, are the worst excuses)

(Dipper received Soos's Cellphone!)

 

-Screwdriver: Next to Soos

(Look at this! A screwdriver! No adventure game set after the late 1800's is complete without one! It's practically law! This thing will come in handy for the tightening of screws, prying things open, and in a pinch, you can probably use it to poke things.)

(Dipper received the Screwdriver)

 

-Envelope: Filing Cabinet

(You see a blank white envelope sticking out of the top of one of the doors. Seeing it reminds you of this thing you saw in a movie once. It was a trick spies used to open doors, but it requires two other components...)

(Dipper received an Envelope!)

 

-Butter Knife: Kitchen Counter

(On the counter lays a lone butter knife. In adventure games, this baby is almost as useful as a screwdriver. But in some ways, it surpasses it since it also has the ability to spread things like butter, jam, and certain cheeses.)

(Dipper received the Butter Knife!)

 

-String: Mabel's Bed

(You found String! String has a lot of uses, such as...you can use it to lasso tiny horses?)

(Dipper received the String!)

(Dipper may have a problem with hoarding!)

 

-Green Laser Pointer: Next to Mabel

(With Mabel distracted, you sneak up on the Green Laser Pointer and pocket it. Waddles you rube, you served your purpose well.)

(For the record, Green Laser Pointers are notoriously more distracting than Red Laser Pointers, and for that matter, just about as distracting as Candy Byproduct Covered Apples)

(Dipper received the Green Laser Pointer!)

 

-Red Laser Pointer: Merchandise 2

(Among the shelves in the very back, you spot an item covered in a thick layer of dust. Gruncle Stan won't even notice that it's gone...)

(Dipper received the Red Laser Pointer!)

 

-Rock: Outside on the ground

(It's a rock. Rocks are actually very common in Gravity Falls due to the fact that most of the planet's crust is made of rocks, and Gravity Falls sits smack dab on top of the planet's crust. As it turns out, not only is soil made out of very tiny rocks mixed with dead organic matter, rocks also make up all of the earth's mantle which consists of very hot rocks. You pocket this bland miracle of nature because you may have to use it to smash something at one point.)

(Dipper received the Rock)

 

-Robbie V and the Tombstones Poster: Rock That Looks Like A Face Rock

(You see out of the corner of your eye a poster for Robbie's band. Funny, you thought you threw away every last one of them. According to this they got a thing tonight over at the place about an hour or so from now. You crumple up the poster so you can properly dispose of it later.)

(Dipper received the Robbie Poster)

 

-Candy Byproduct Covered Apple: Kitchen Garbage Can

(Rooting around in the garbage can like some wild Old Man Mcgucket you come across a Candy Byproduct Covered Apple, a leftover from Summerween. If candy is bad for you, you can't imagine that candy byproduct is much better. You're sure if this came in a package there would be a warning on the side saying “not meant for human consumption.” Regardless, you mindlessly pocket the apple. Whatever candy byproduct is it's not sticky. It's rubbery and smooth...like sharkskin.)

(Dipper received the Candy Byproduct Covered Apple)

 

-Post-It Note: Gruncle Stan's Desk (when opened it shows you the numbers and arrows)

(Gruncle Stan left an odd Post-It Note. It has a sequence of arrows and numbers on it)

 

A FINAL NOTE ON THE FRIDGE PUZZLE

 

Puzzle is designed as a grid with buttons

The button on the upper most left corner is highlighted

The arrows and numbers on the post-it note indicate how many buttons to count over and which ones to press

 

Right 3 Down 5 Left 4 means count three buttons to the right, press that button, down five buttons from that button, press that button, left four buttons from that button, press that button and so on until the lock is finished.
