KEY

C – Combat
E – Endurance
!! – Enemy has initiative
[ ] – Jump to paragraph

Combat is your most important attribute. The more points you put
into it, the easier your adventure will be. The best build is
Swashbuckler Alice (put 5 points into Combat and Agility). This
solution puts zero points into Combat but the true path remains
relatively easy. I recommend using either Skill Monkey Alice (put 5
points into Agility and Logic) or Think Tank Alice (put 5 points
into Logic and Endurance). Attribute tests will be assumed
successful unless they are not vitally important. Note that the
first Logic test you take MUST be successful.

I have put paragraph numbers at the start of each ‘chapter’ for ease
of access if anyone is looking for a quick reference. I have also
included hints on play and key points to use Items in possession. I
am classing all food items as Provisions. Each restores 4 Endurance.

NOTES
This Solution does not make a single use of the Curiouser and
Curiouser ability, which I deem as a red herring anyway since most
of the results are bad for you.

The Tea Tray is one of the most broken items in the adventure as it
effectively doubles your Endurance!

It seems impossible to gain the word ‘Phantasm’ AND solve the vital
game of chess. If you are able to bring the ‘Phantasm’ to the final
battle with the Jabberwocky, you’ve definitely cheated.

Furthermore, the game of chess is rather unfair to those not too

familiar with the game. I’m a decent player but even I had to set it
up and spend around 20 minutes to find a solution. A Logic test here
would’ve been very appropriate for some hints.

Finally, anyone looking for a challenge can apply the following rule
to their next game: Gain 4 Insanity points on paragraph 1.
