Phantom Cab – Chapter 1 Walkthrough
First off, look at the red coffee maker on the left, collect the battery, take the duct tape, and grab the towel. Use the towel to clean the gear beside the machine and pick it up.
Then examine the fax machine on the floor, open its case, remove the worn gear, place the cleaned one inside, read the report, and take it with you.
Move to the board, read the newspaper, set the report on the board, and check it again to find every highlighted word in order.
Choose “What if it’s a ruse!” to press him further, take the phone directory, and go to the desk. Use the duct tape to fix the telephone wire and call for more information.
Return to the fax machine, collect the new message, and take the murder locations. Place that on the board and match every item listed.
Now take the badge and use it to open the red locker behind the desk. Pick up the key, unlock the drawer under the coffee machine, check the photo, and collect the revolver and the money.
Step outside and start searching for clues while collecting the badges marked in the scene.
Street and Alley
Head to the shop booth, read the paper, and take the first apartment tag. Give the money to receive a flashlight, insert the battery, and shine it down the dark alley behind the motorcycle.
Take the wire, collect the glasses, grab the second apartment tag, and place both tags on the purple door on the right. Match the tokens with the patterns to unlock the door and show the woman your badge.
Talk to her, memorize her clues, and skip the roof for now. Explore the home instead and check the TV to take the soothing tea. Move to the stove, take the TV nub, use the glasses to unlock the drawer, and take the piezoelectric element. Go to Elliot’s room to continue investigating.
Elliot’s Room
Search the desk to get the toothbrush and the broken record. Check the shelves to take the gramophone part and glue. Fix the record using the glue and reassemble it.
Move to the gramophone, place the record and the part to make the parrot fly away, then collect the deodorant and hair gel.
Go outside, use the hair gel on the bag near the red vending machine, clean it with the toothbrush, and take the wrench. Use the wrench on the motorcycle in the alley to get the map and the car model. Return to Elliot’s room, place the car model on the shelf, and take the new map, the needle, and the wire.
Check the desk, place the piezoelectric element and the wires to repair the lighter. Go to the stove, put the tea in the cup, heat the water with the lighter, and match each burner’s temperature using the hint on the wall. Take the tea to Elliot’s mother, wait for her to leave, then check the sofa to read the note and collect the suction cup.
Use the suction cup on the vending machine glass outside and take the milk. Give the milk to the kitten near the motorcycle, pick up the cutters and the thorn scoop net, and head back inside.
Use the cutters on the metal hanger in the closet to craft an antenna, attach the antenna and TV nub to the television, and get the code 1356.
Return to Elliot’s room, pull down the posters to reveal the safe, enter the code, follow the strings to match each picture correctly, and take the letter and receipt. Read the letter, follow the clue, and prepare to check the car.
The Car
Take the car key and the medical kit, open it, and select the correct pairs to obtain an item. Check the glove compartment, take the ammo, load the revolver, and shoot the windshield to escape. Use the car key to open the trunk and match all paired items.
Take the nail puller, check the sign on the left, remove the wooden board, and find the magnet. Look by the car and combine the needle and magnet to repair the compass. Use the compass with the map to assemble a navigation kit and follow the road to reach the gas station.
Gas Station
Start searching around the area and head to the tool shed behind the station to take the gas can. Spray deodorant on the ants to drive them off, take the bell, and open the shed door. Approach the man at the window, take the first hairpin and the funnel, and ring the bell to wake him.
Solve the memory mini-game, talk to him, and give him the receipt. Threaten him with the handcuffs to force more information out.
Return to the trunk of your car and solve the riddles to collect each item described. Take the hex key at the end, go to the Salem post, and remove the hose.
Return to the gas pump, read the note, set the gas tank down, attach the hose to the broken pump, and fill the gas can. Go back to the tool shed, place the funnel, pour in the gas, and start a mini-game by choosing the second route with the right-turn symbol.
Take the knife and the hair net, repair the torn scoop net, and go to the river beside the car. Use the net to retrieve the scout badge, then use it to open the bag near the car. Check the file, find all highlighted words, and take Elliot’s photo.
Return to the clerk, show him the photo, ask him about anything suspicious, and take the taxi number he gives you. Go to the phone booth, dial the taxi number, drag each fragment into place to assemble the phone dial, and enter the cab.
The Taxi
Search the cab for clues, open the window, and talk to the driver. Take the glove and use it to pick up the broken glass. Open the armrest, take the lady’s purse, and look at the compartment behind the driver. Cut the red thread with the knife, then take the note and tweezers.
Check the rear window, use the tweezers to pull out the brooch, and use the brooch to unlock the lady’s bag. Move the sliders to let the stones pass and match the brooch’s gems.
Take the second hairpin, use both hairpins to unlock the toolbox, and collect the hammer. Break the window, play the shard-matching game, and climb out to end the chapter.
