General Tips
Interacting with the World
Within these scenes, you can do a variety of things: clicking anywhere will examine or
interact with what you’ve clicked on. For instance, clicking the water will examine it
while clicking on Officer James will talk to him and begin a conversation.
Note: Your mouse does not change to indicate an interactive object. Everything is
examinable, but not everything is important to your adventure.

Clicking the wrench icon in the lower-left corner will open the options menu. From here
you can adjust music and sound volume, turn hints on or off, or exit to the main menu.
Clicking the person icon in the lower-right corner will activate “move” and cause arrows
to appear on the scene’s exits. Clicking any of these arrows will make Grimoire move
to their adjacent scene. To exit “move,” click the move icon again or click anywhere in
the scene that is not an arrow.

Clicking the map icon in the upper-left corner will open the fast travel map. This allows
you to see areas of the swamp you’ve discovered, and also to immediately travel to
them at any time by clicking on their name.
Note: You won’t have a map icon until you receive the map (which happens very early in
the game).
Clicking the question mark icon in the upper-right corner will open your Case File. This
contains all of the items and information you’ve collected so far, separated into three
primary categories. For more info, see “Case File” below.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 4/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
The Case File houses all of the items and information you have collected during the
game. Any time an important piece of evidence is discovered, it will be marked on
Grimoire’s monologue. In the image above, the tree was examined and it has been
added to the “Notes” section of the Case File.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 5/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
The Case File contains three types of evidence: Suspects, Clues, and Notes. The main
Case File menu also lists your completion percentage for each type of evidence, your
overall Case File completion, which “Challenge Topics” you have completed, and a hint
from Grimoire on what to do or where to go next.

Suspects: Any time you meet a new person, they will be added to the Suspects menu.
Learning more information about them will fill out the details on their personal pages,
which can be reviewed at any time by clicking on their profile card. Every suspect has
eight pieces of information that can be learned / discovered about them.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 7/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Clues: Any time you find a suspicious or important object, it will be added to your
Clues menu. Clicking on a clue will provide a larger—or additional—image(s) of it, as
well as the information you know about the object.

8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Each clue’s number of details vary, but undiscovered details will be marked with
“??????” until you uncover them. Details might be uncovered when examining the item
at first, or after finding a clarifying item or speaking to a suspect.
In the image above, there are still two undiscovered details about the FLIPPERS.
Notes: The Notes section contains information you’ve discovered about a specific
location on the map. Notes will always be collected by clicking around the scene in
question. So, to find all three Notes for the “Entrance,” you’ll need to find three
important areas within the scene itself.

There are two interactive scenes you’ll come across frequently in Detective Grimoire:
suspect interrogations and Grimoire’s thought-gathering.
The above image shows Grimoire interrogating a suspect. He currently has two topics
of discussion available to talk about, and he can also “Present a clue” or “Present a
profile.”
Choosing either of the discussion topics will get the suspect to give you information.
Selecting to “Present a clue” or “Present a profile” will let you show the suspect any
item or person you have already discovered. They may have helpful information to
provide—or they may not, but showing suspects items they’re unfamiliar with has no
negative consequences.
There are two additional topics of discussion marked by “????”. These will open up as
the story progresses. There is also an area marked by a locked chain. This is the
“Challenge Topic,” which unlocks for each suspect under special circumstances.

The image above shows Grimoire collecting his thoughts on Boggy’s Bog. These are
fail-proof challenges that require you to put two ideas—such as “the swamp” and “the
murder”—into a sentence with the correct phrasing.
You can drag the ideas into the blank slots and then click the arrows to change the
phrase that connects them to form a unique sentence. Only one sentence will be
correct, but you can retry indefinitely until you get it right.

If you’re stuck or feel like there’s nothing new to do, try speaking to suspects again.
Show them any clues or profiles you have not yet—you might be surprised about who
knows whom.
If you’ve already shown a suspect a clue or profile, it will be grayed out when speaking
to them. You’ll never have to show an item to a person more than once.
Click around and explore freely. Sometimes even if an item isn’t important enough to
add to your Case File, it may provide some interesting details or a helpful hint.
Trust Grimoire. Not only does he keep track of what you need to do next via the Case
File menu, but he also has a good hunch for interrogations—if he doesn’t say “Feels like
I’m done talking to them” at the bottom of the interrogation menu, then there’s
something left that the suspect can provide.
You don’t have to find every detail in the game to finish it, but it’s more fun to do so!
This walkthrough covers completing the game and earning 100% on your Case Files at
the same time.

8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
The correct phrase Grimoire is trying to think of is: “The swamp is far too remote for
Boggy’s Bog the tourist attraction to make any money.”
Once you’ve created the idea above, click Confirm. If you enter the wrong thoughts or
phrases, Grimoire will comment that they’re not quite right (or close, etc.) and you’ll

8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Grimoire needs to move some of the reeds out of the way. Click and drag the reeds
one-by-one to the left or right until the lighter green object underneath is revealed.
It’s a green flipper. Back out of the mini-game. This completes the Case File Notes on
Outside Office.
Examine the door to the office. Grimoire can’t get inside yet. Click the move icon and
go back to the Clearing.

8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
There are now two people sitting in the Clearing. Grimoire decides to interrogate
them. Click on either suspect; we’ll start with the cameraman in the orange shirt.
This is Bobby Burle. The interrogation begins with Grimoire being asked a question.
Select any of the three answers, and then Grimoire begins the interrogation.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 23/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Ask about “Your job.” Burle tells Grimoire he works with Vincent Van de Peer and they
received permission to film in the swamp as of a week ago.
Ask about “Last night.” Burle says he was at the café and so was Remington;
Remington left looking ill.
Speak to the man looking out over the water. This is Vincent Van de Peer, movie
director.
Select any of the answers to respond to Van de Peer. Grimoire will then gather his
thoughts.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 24/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
The correct statement is “Vincent Van de Peer only recently got permission from
Richard Remington to film here in the swamp.” Select confirm.
This unlocks the Challenge Topic for Van de Peer regarding his filming status.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 25/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Ask about “Your job.” Van de Peer is making a film about Boggy the swamp creature.
He also mentions Burle has another “hobby.”
Ask about “Last night.” Van de Peer admits he was filming last night but Burle was
nowhere to be found. He also mentions some odd sounds were picked up on his audio
track.
The correct statement is “Vincent Van de Peer told me that Bobby Burle was nowhere
to be found last night.” This unlocks the Challenge Topic for Burle.
Back in the conversation with Van de Peer, ask about the Challenge Topic by clicking
the “Challenge Unlocked” tab.
Grimoire mentions that this wasn’t the first time Van de Peer had tried to film in the
swamp. He tries to deny it.
Respond with “Remington has denied you the filming permission in the past.”
Van de Peer comments that this type of thing happens all the time. Grimoire needs to
figure out why Remington changed his mind, and decides to do so by drawing a picture
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 26/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
in his notebook.
You need to finish the picture. What item would Van de Peer have used to get his way?
Drag the bag of money into the red question mark space. Grimoire accuses Van de
Peer of bribing Remington.
Select “Present a clue” and mention the film footage. Van de Peer says he’ll try filming
again tonight.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 27/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Exit the conversation and you’ll receive the FILM FOOTAGE as a clue. Listen to the
audio tracks in order (follow the arrows) to receive an idea of what went down during
the murder.
Select the Challenge Topic. Grimoire asks Burle why he was nowhere to be found.
Burle says he was wandering around the swamp, camera-less.
Grimoire responds to this—select “You left it with Van de Peer, and he used it instead.”
Grimoire is surprised he just walked around. Burle says he has ways to pass the time.
Respond with “Van de Peer said you had a hobby on the side!” Burle admits he was
taking black and white photography last night and shows Grimoire his undeveloped
photograph.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 28/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Click and drag across the picture to develop it and reveal what looks like Boggy

The name of this area makes more sense now, as there is a bearded man picketing near
the swamp.
Select any of Grimoire’s responses to why they call him “Echo” and the interrogation
begins.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 30/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Ask about “Your job.” Echo is a protestor standing up for animal rights, namely, Boggy’s
rights.
Ask about “Last night.” Echo says he did hear some strange sounds, but there are
always strange sounds at night in a swamp.
If you choose to “Present a profile” and show Echo either Boggy or Mr. Remington, he
has a few comments, but nothing pertaining to the case.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 31/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Examine the blue tent just behind Echo. You’ll enter a close-up of the tent’s front.
Examine the Boggy-themed padlock. If you had the right code, you could open it. Exit
for now.
We can’t do anything else here for now, so click the move button and move south to the
Crossroad.
Click the move button again and move east toward the café, entering the Gift Shop.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 32/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
There’s a bored-looking woman sitting here. Speak to her and select any of Grimoire’s
answers to where he was yesterday. She is Sally; the interrogation begins.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 33/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Ask about “Your job.” Sally complains that she always has to bring a spare set of
clothes to the swamp as it’s impossible to leave without being covered in dirt.
Ask about “Last night.” Sally complains that someone “played a prank” by dipping her
spare black leggings in swamp slime.
Ask to “Present a clue.” Show Sally the B&W PHOTO. She comments that the
creature’s legs are reflected in the water in the picture (so they aren’t as long as
Grimoire first thought).
Ask to “Present a profile.” Select Echo. Sally says she has a good view of him from her
shop but he spends a lot of time in his tent.
The correct phrase is “Echo spends less time holding the protest sign and more time in
his tent.” This unlocks the Challenge Topic for Echo.
Examine her gift shop wagon. You’ll enter a close-up of the merchandise.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 34/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Examine the lighter green Boggy head in the middle of the Boggy hats. Grimoire
notices it doesn’t seem to belong and also has a bit of red fabric stuck inside.
Exit the gift wagon. Your Case File Notes for the Gift Shop are now complete.
Let’s go speak to Echo again. Open the map and go to the Protest.
Echo offers to tell Grimoire what he’s been doing in his tent if Grimoire can guess it.
You’ll enter the notebook drawing screen. You need to select the icon that represents
why Echo’s been in his tent more.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 35/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo

nothing new for now.
Return to the Gift Shop. Click the move button and head north. You’ll be at the Café.

8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Click and drag the individual trash items around to move them out of the way. Once
you’ve uncovered a drawing of Boggy, click on it.
Exit the trashcan. Grimoire needs to collect his thoughts on “Are we really talking
about a swamp creature, here…?”
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 37/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
The correct phrase is “The costume design I found in the trashcan explains what B&W
Photo is showing me.”
Grimoire realizes the photo is of someone in a costume and that he needs to find both
the person in the costume and the costume itself. Chapter Two begins.

8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Examine the top of the Café ship (not the stairs). This completes your Case File Notes
for the Café.
Speak to the man in the Café. This is Harper. Answer with any of Grimoire’s responses
to the swamp being his greatest challenge, and the interrogation begins.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 40/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Note: Now that we’re in Chapter Two, “Boggy Costume” has been added as a question.
Ask about “Your job.” Harper comments that Remington loved Bog-Dogs but his supply
is currently contaminated by a strange green dust. He also gives Grimoire some
Swamp Juice.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 41/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
The correct phrase is “Remington left the café feeling ill after Harper sold him a Bog-
Dog.” This unlocks the Challenge Topic with Harper.
Ask about “Last night.” Harper comments that he locks up the store room at night but
not the table, chairs, or trashcan.
Ask to “Present a profile.” Select Echo. Harper comments that he’s been spending
more time in his tent lately and he also asks what everyone likes to eat.
Select the Challenge Topic. Grimoire mentions Remington got ill last night after eating
at the Café.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 42/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Grimoire needs to select what made Remington ill. Drag the green poison onto the dog.
When prodded, select “The store room was broken into with a lock pick…” Harper
acknowledges that this is possible, especially since lots of Swamp Juice has gone
missing.
We’re done at the Café. Let’s go back to Remington’s office via the map.
Click on the office door to enter a mini-game. The door has two keyholes and Grimoire
needs to figure out which keys to use.

Examine the letter with an image attached below the business card.
Once you’ve found everything in the Office, Grimoire needs to collect his thoughts on
“Have I uncovered an important secret in here?”
The correct phrase is “The hunting photo is evidence that Richard Remington belonged
to a secret society.” Grimoire is beginning to question Remington’s motives for starting
a park in the swamp.

Remington.”
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 48/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Ask about “Boggy costume.” Van de Peer denies making the costume as he would
never mess with such tomfoolery.
Ask about “Richard Remington.” Van de Peer praises Remington’s business savvy.
Ask about “Boggy costume.” Burle believes they’re just a child’s drawings.
Ask about “Richard Remington.” Burle believes Remington had some secrets no one
knew about.
Ask to “Present a clue.” Show Burle the BOG-DOG. He confirms Remington was eating
one before he got sick.

entirely.
Ask about “Richard Remington.” Sally says she didn’t know him well, but he seemed
preoccupied most of the time.
Ask to “Present a clue” again. Show Sally the Boggy HEAD PIECE.

Ask about “Your job.” Weybridge is a chemist who’s lived in the Tree House for sixty
years.
Ask about “Last night.” Weybridge was at home alone last night.

and that she once offered Remington some homemade fabric as a peace offering.

swamp numerous times in the past.

and the interrogation begins.
Ask about “Your job.” Folder claims to come to the museum day and night to research
Boggy.
Ask about “Last night.” Folder admits to breaking into the museum via lockpick but
says he lost his better lockpick recently.
Ask about “Boggy costume.” Folder says the costume is a poor mixture of the cartoon
character and mythical being.

tourist attraction.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 65/87

real Boggy.

creature has.
Ask to “Present a clue.” Show Folder the FLIPPERS. He says no one knows what the
real Boggy’s feet look like.

case files, but it does elicit an eerie response.
Ask to “Present a profile.” Ask about Echo. Folder says he was asking about Boggy’s
appearance.
He mentioned losing his lockpick in one of the darker corners of the swamp. Return to
the Outside Office.
There’s a lockpick trapped in a maze of weeds. You need to follow the path of the weed
wrapped around the lockpick back to the number at the top.

in the same slime as the murder weapon.

murderer’s costume.”

stretched.”
Sally gives you a wind-up toy souvenir. Click and hold on its knob to wind it up and

Agent Folder.” This unlocks Folder’s Challenge Topic.
Let’s return to Lady Weybridge. Open your map and go to the Tree House.
Speak to Weybridge. Select “Present a clue” and show her the GLOVES.
This enters the liquid test again. Place the slime into the cauldron and then put the
blueberries and yellow flower in. It’s the same slime as before.

flower.

The correct phrase is “Lady Weybridge was living in the swamp when the swamp
creature was discovered by the explorer 60 years ago.” This unlocks Lady Weybridge’s
Challenge Topic.
Select Weybridge’s Challenge Topic. Select “You were living in the swamp when the
explorer visited 60 years ago…”
Select “There’s a page missing from the journal. I think you know where it is…”

Speak to Echo. Select “Boggy costume.” Echo admits to being a huge fan of the
Boggy cartoons.
Select “Richard Remington.” Echo says Remington was an expert at ignoring him.
Ask to “Present a clue.” Show Echo the FIREPLACE POKER. He comments that
Remington was attacked by something with claws, wasn’t he?
Ask to “Present a clue.” Show Echo the HUNTING PHOTO. He responds rather
mysteriously, saying the photo is very important.

well.

everyone—will leave after all of this.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 72/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Examine Echo’s tent. We’ve seen a few numbers throughout the game, but knowing
Echo’s fondness for the Boggy cartoon show, what might his combination be?
It’s the copyright date found on the Boggy cartoon poster in the Museum, 1934.
The tent will open and reveal a red book. Examine the book.
Speak to the little girl. She begs you not to take Boggy away. Choose any of the
answers.
She’ll thank you for not taking Boggy away and vanish again.
Let’s go see Folder again. Open your map and return to the Museum.
Speak to Folder. Select “Present a clue” and show Folder the WIND-UP TOY. He
comments Boggy’s feet are usually hidden by that bucket.
You’ll then need to select where you found it. Select the Outside Office.
Then select “You already admitted to owning a lockpick and using it [to] open locked
doors…”
Then select “You lost your lockpick in the swamp and had to buy a new one…”
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 74/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
At this point, you should have 100% of your Suspects, Clues, and Notes filled out in
the Case File.
Return to Officer James by opening the map and selecting Swamp Dock.
Note: This begins the ending sequence of the game. If you wish to go back and explore
more, you can choose “back” at the chapter screen. After finishing the game, reloading
your save file will bring you back to this point so you can still explore freely.

8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Officer James will interrogate Grimoire about what he’s learned. He asks to see
photographic evidence of Boggy from last night, “Let me see that photo…”
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 76/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
He asks about the footprints at the scene of the crime, “How can you prove these don’t
belong to a real creature?”
Officer James asks “How do you explain the three wounds on the victim’s chest?”
Officer James comments on the slime and Grimoire says “But that slime…it’s not
exactly what you think.”
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 77/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Grimoire then brings up the poisoned hot dog. To explain why Remington was
poisoned, select “To make sure Remington got ill and had to return to his office.”
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 78/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
The discussion continues. Officer James asks about the audio clues you received from
Van de Peer. You’ll enter a mini-game.
You need to rearrange the descriptions so they are lined up with the appropriate
sound. You can click on an audio track to hear it again. To move the descriptions, just
click and drag them up or down. They’ll automatically swap places as you drag.
The correct order is: 1. Culprit opens Remington’s office door, 2. Remington cries out in
shock as “Boggy” appears, 3. Remington fires his hunting rifle at the culprit, 4. Culprit
grabs the metal poker and stabs Remington, 5. Remington cries out in shock and falls
backwards, 6. Remington rips off some curtain fabric as he falls, 7. Remington lands on
the planks outside his office, 8. Culprit drops the metal poker in the office.
Officer James then asks about the torn curtain fabric: “Why wasn’t it found at the
crime scene? What happened to it?”
Officer James then asks what about the culprit? Wasn’t he shot? How did he escape?

8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
You need to drag the pieces of the Boggy costume onto their appropriate location on
the drawing.
Put the head piece on the head, the claws on either arm (they’ll split), the leggings on
the legs, and the flippers on the feet, leaving one question mark on the stomach.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 80/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Grimoire never found the torso piece. Officer James asks “Where is that last piece of
the costume?”
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 81/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
Grimoire and Officer James confront Echo. James asks why would Remington point a
gun at Boggy, a scientific specimen and tourist attraction?
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 82/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
The correct phrase is “The hunting photo leads me to believe Richard Remington was
here to hunt Boggy.”
Echo admits to the crime and claims that his plan was to get the whole park shut
down.
Watch the conclusion…although Grimoire’s work isn’t quite finished, this game is!

This section will contain spoiler-free tips on specific areas you may be stuck on if not
following the walkthrough. Try these hints first before reading the walkthrough.
“I failed someone’s Challenge Topic.” – There’s only one Challenge Topic you can “fail,”
and it’s set up this way on purpose. If you choose the wrong answer for a Challenge
Topic, you can always retry the Challenge until you get it right again.
“I’m missing one Clue from my list of items.” – While this could be any number of clues,
the easiest one to overlook is Folder’s lockpick. He mentions it during a longer
conversation and it’s located in an entirely different location. If you don’t have the
lockpick, try searching watery areas of the swamp.
“I’m missing a Note on Remington’s Office.” – Two of the Notes in the Office are very
similar. Be sure to explore all the objects you see here, even if some of them seem the
same.
“My Crime Scene and Boggy Costume Clues are blank.” – These are just stand-ins for
larger items that can’t actually fit into a single slot. They appear in your Clues once
you discover them and will remain “blank” the entire game; this is normal.
https://www.gamezebo.com/walkthroughs/detective-grimoire-walkthrough-cheats-strategy-guide/ 84/87
8/25/22, 11:47 PM Detective Grimoire Walkthrough - Gamezebo
“I can’t get into Echo’s tent.” – Echo’s tent is locked with a padlock that requires a 4-
digit combination. This combination does exist in the game, but it’s very easy to
overlook. After you’ve covered all conversation topics with Echo, think about what he
loves and where something related to that exists…the walkthrough contains the exact
combination if you prefer.
Congratulations!
