                              The Beamish House

      Problem:
      Who is this Ghost Beamish character?

      Hint:
      Ghost Beamish is the spirit  of Willy's Grandfather. He provides
      Willy with helpful information and guidance throughout the game.
      Ghost Beamish provides the first  warning that something foul is
      afoot in  the fair city  of Frumpton. Most  of the time  it is a
      good idea to listen to what Ghost Beamish has to tell you.


      Problem:
      Help! I keep getting sent to military school!

      Hint:
      When you  get a warning from  Gordon or Sheila to  do something,
      you  have a  short amount  of time  to do  it before the trouble
      meter begins to climb into the danger zone. If Willy ignores his
      parents  or  misbehaves  too  frequently  he  will  get  sent to
      military  school. Promptly  doing what  you are  told and common
      sense will keep you out of trouble for the most part.


      Problem:
      What do I do about the mail?

      Hint:
      You are better off leaving your report card in the mail slot. If
      you get  caught trying to  hide Willy's report  card from Gordon
      and Sheila, military school will be the inevitable result.


      Problem:
      What do I do if I cut my thumb?

      Hint:
      If you cut your thumb while  slicing veggies in the kitchen, you
      need to go to the upstairs bathroom and use the first-aid kit in
      the cupboard. Make sure that you put both iodine and band-aid on
      it. If  you don't take care  of the cut it  will become infected
      and you won't be able to win the Nintari Championships.


      Problem:
      How can I get my Nintari Key away from Tiffany?

      Hint:
      There are two ways to get the Nintari Key away from Tiffany. You
      can  either take  her diary  and blackmail  her with  it in  her
      bedroom or you can drop Horny on  her when she is in the bathtub
      after dinner  on day 1. Make  sure that you practice  Nintari at
      least once or you can't win  the championships at the end of the
      game.


      Problem:
      How do I get away from the baby-sitter from hell?

      Hint:
      Once the baby sitter from hell goes batty, you only have a short
      amount  of time  to act.  Go upstairs  to the  bathroom and  get
      Tiffany's hairspray out of the cupboard. Then spray the bat with
      the  hairspray; this  will give  you more  time to  complete the
      puzzle. Next, go to Brianna's room  and take the mouse away from
      the cat.  After you have  the mouse, go  back downstairs to  the
      living room  and jump behind  the sofa. Place  the mouse on  the
      coffee table and  when Alicia-bat pounces on it,  use the vacuum
      cleaner to suck her up.


      Problem:
      What should I do with Duffy?

      Hint:
      You  need to  feed Duffy  whenever  he  is hungry  and walk  him
      regularly. If you don't take good  enough care of Duffy, he will
      get you  into trouble. If you  neglect him he will  run away and
      the game is over.


      Problem:
      How do I deal with Brianna?

      Hint:
      If you play with Brianna on  the swings in the back yard, choose
      the second dialog response when she asks you to push her higher.
      If you  send her into orbit  you may as well  pack your bags for
      military school. Picking  Brianna up when she falls  off her bed
      after dinner  on the first day  will make your trouble  meter go
      down.


      Problem:
      What do I have to do to get some money?

      Hint:
      There are two ways for Willy  to earn money at the Beamish Home.
      The first chance  is to mow the lawn after  dinner on day 1. The
      second opportunity  is to wash the  Grange Rover after breakfast
      on day 2.
