The year is 1987 and a grim murder has taken place at Thimbleweed Park, a small town with a population of 80 people. An unknown man’s corpse was found by the bridge, its body slowly pixelating and the only solid lead is a hotel keycard. Enter Agent Ray and Agent Reyes, two federal agents who were given the task of solving this gruesome crime.
One agent is determined to get a promotion, and another is determined to uncover another crime from the past. While not the best of friends, they’ll need to work together to get justice for the murdered man. The townsfolk will point fingers at various, quirky individuals while the truth lurks in the shadows, waiting to be uncovered.
But somewhere, somehow, someone seems to be watching as your motley crew of two turns to four, and things start to connect from one thing to another. But the dead body is the least of their worries once they realize that nothing is what it seems in this oddly almost empty town with a sheriff, a coroner, and a hotel manager who seems to be hiding something, and a recently departed town hero who may have left a trail for you in his wake.
Thimbleweed Park is a point-and-click adventure game designed by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick and developed and published by Terrible Toybox. Those names may feel familiar to adventure game enthusiasts since these two game designers were instrumental in the creation of popular titles such as Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island. The game features beautiful pixel art and a humorous vibe somewhat reminiscent of the old Scooby Doo cartoon series.
The game can be played in Casual Mode or Hard Mode. While Casual Mode seems to be the best choice for players who are new to this game genre, we highly recommend playing in Hard Mode because a lot of content is taken out in Casual Mode to make the puzzles easier.
This walkthrough is written with Hard Mode in mind and while we try to be as specific as we can, there are certain details to puzzles that are randomized and will require players to do a bit of solving by themselves. However, we will do our best to relay any hints that can help.
The game has many hidden secrets, content and dialogues, most of which are optional and do not necessarily make any important impact on the story. For this walkthrough, we’ll only be concentrating on key actions that need to be taken to progress the game or unlock special achievements. To make our instructions concise and simple, we are only going to mention an item that must be obtained or used once the situation calls for it.

General Mechanics and Useful Tips
- Tapping an area on the screen will make your chosen character move to that spot (or as close to that spot as possible).
- Tap your character’s picture at the upper right side of the screen to change the character you’re using or to access the settings.
- To interact with objects or people, you’ll need to choose one of the 9 verbs on the lower left side of the screen before you tap an item on your inventory or an item or person in the scene.
- Complex commands start with a verb, then an object, and end with another object or character. This is used to combine, unlock, or give objects to other characters.
- Dial the number 4468 (HINT) using Agent Ray’s cellphone or any other usable phone in the game to get hints to solve a puzzle. The hints start out subtle, but the more you ask, the more details it will give out.
- On mobile, press and hold anywhere on the screen to show hotspots. On PC, you have to press and hold the TAB key. This may not always be accurate and will not highlight some objects like Specks of Dust.
- Tap twice or double click to run.
- Doors need to be opened before you can enter the room.
- Some special items tend to be in a color that pops out from the scene or next to a light source.
- Check small objects. Some of them may be what you need.
- Sometimes repeating a command may give a different result.
- You don’t need to move all characters in one place all the time. If they need to be where the other one is, sometimes they will just end up appearing in that location later.
- Looking at items in your inventory does not require you to use the Look At command.
- Most numbers and some answers in the game are randomized.
Part One: The Meeting
Looking at the note in your inventory will show you a list of instructions that he needs to follow. The first two tasks have already been accomplished. Your next task is to turn off the light and go to the entrance of the Underground Sewers.

- Walk to the right until you reach the river.
- Pick up the rock in the middle of the river.

Getting an Official Map
If you keep going to the right after entering town, you will eventually reach the Vista. If you walk to the county, the sheriff will tell you that you cannot go past that point unless you have an official map. While there are many other things you can do before this, we highly recommend prioritizing getting a map because this will help you get around town. With a map, you can simply tap a location to instantly get there.
To get an official map, you first need to get a shiny nickel and fix the fire hydrant leak that’s blocking A Street.
Getting a Shiny Nickel (5 Cents)
As Agent Reyes:
- Go to the highway and pick up a green bottle by the side of the road.
- Go to the Quickie Pal (left of the Vista, and just to the right of town).
- Open the door and enter the convenience store.

- Walk to the right, open the door to Ricki’s Cakes, and enter the shop.
- Talk to Ricki Lee and choose these answers to proceed and get a WC-67 tube:
- Then I have something I’ll want to talk to you about.
- I’m looking for a tube.
- WC
- 67
- Go back to where the Pigeon Sisters are and give them the WC-67 tube. Once you do, they’ll fix the fire hydrant and you’ll be free to explore A street. You’ll also be given their business card.
Getting a Map from Nickel News
As Agent Reyes:
- Enter A Street and walk to the right.
- Open the door to Nickel News and enter the office.
- Walk to the left and you’ll be greeted by Natalie. Choose this answer to proceed:
- Nice chatting, got a murder to solve.
- Look at the PoliceTron 3000™ and Natalie will tell you not to touch it because she is waiting for a particular police report. The story is randomized and you’ll have to keep the following details in mind:
- Gender of the person.
- Location of the incident.
- What they’re doing.
- If you want her to repeat what she said, you’ll have to look at the PoliceTron 3000™ again.
As Agent Ray:
- Use the Town Hall’s PoliceTron 3000™ in the sheriff’s office. Choose this answer to proceed:
- Attention all units!
- Choose the 3 details that correspond to the police report Natalie was waiting for.
If you choose an incorrect answer, Agent Ray will tell you to stop screwing around and you’ll have to start over. However, the story Natalie is waiting for will not change. If you choose all the correct answers, Natalie will leave the office temporarily. You have to act quickly before she returns.
As Agent Reyes:
- Pick up the framed county map.
- Use the county map on the CopyTron 3000™.
- Use the shiny nickel on the CopyTron 3000™.
- Open the door and exit the Nickel News office. Putting the map back into the frame is optional.
If you are not able to get a copy of the map in time, you will have to start over and look at the PoliceTron 3000™ again to get the next police report Natalie is waiting for.
Unlocking Fast Travel With Maps
Once you have the official map, as Agent Reyes:
- Go back to the Vista and walk to the county.
- You’ll be confronted with the sheriff again. Choose these answers to proceed:
- I have an “official” map right here.
The sheriff will then let you pass and return all maps he took back to the Quickie Pal, ending Part 2.
Part Three: The Arrest
Before Investigating
At the start of Part 3, Agent Ray and Agent Reyes will talk. Choose this answer to proceed:
- Let’s get cracking.
As Agent Ray:

- Pick up the brown note will give you clues for the numbers you need to input in your safe to open it.

If there is the word “squared” at the end of the clue, you’ll have to multiply the number by itself (ex: 3×3 = 9).
- The third clue will always be the number of kids Carney Joe has. To get this information (which is randomized per playthrough according to some players):

Unlocking Buried Treasure and the Arcade Games
This can be accomplished as early as Part 5 after the will reading:
As Delores:
- Pick up the shovel sitting on the wood pile in the front yard of the Edmund Mansion mansion.
As any of the characters (except Franklin and Ransome):
- Go to Madame Morena’s Occult Bookstore and pick up the Cursed Head on the wall shelf next to the doorway by the counter where Madame Morena is.
As any of the characters (except Franklin):
- Go to the Trailhead and make sure that you can see the Cursed Head from your inventory. It will turn its head towards the path you need to go to.
- Tip 1: The Cursed Head will spin without stopping if you go the wrong path. When this happens, you’ll need to leave the forest and start from the very beginning.
- Tip 2: The Cursed Head may gradually move as you get closer or further from the path you need to take. For any of the 3 paths at the center, make sure the head is staring straight ahead before entering it.
- After passing through about 8 paths, you’ll arrive at an area with an X on the ground.
- Use the Shovel on “X marks the spot” to obtain a Bag of Tokens.
- Use the Bag of Tokens on the Token-Tron 3000.
- Use the Token-Tron 3000 every time you need to use a Bright Token on the arcade games to play them. You can only play Disco Madness, Space Slime, and Meteor Menace.
Unlocking Great Escape
This can be accomplished as early as Part 2. It is an optional event that may be missed. You can use Agent Ray or Reyes for any of the two roles but for this walkthrough, we’ll use Agent Reyes as the one in the sewers and Agent Ray as the one outside.
Getting Kidnapped
As Agent Reyes:
- Go through the dark alley between Fancy Nancy Flowers Shop and the S&D Diner.
- Look at the trash or boxes on the left side. A dark silhouette will knock him out and drag them away. The game will later show that character waking up in the sewers when you switch to them.
Getting Out
As Agent Reyes:
- Exit through the left tunnel.
- Keep walking to the next left tunnel.
- You’ll encounter a brick wall that says “IN EMERGENCY, CALL:” and a name. The name is randomized.
As Agent Ray:
- Go to A Street.
- Look at the phone book dangling from the Payphone next to Ricki’s Cakes.
- Look for the name from the brick wall and get their number.
Once you get their number, there are two things you can do depending on the situation:
Situation 1: Agent Ray has her cell phone in her inventory.
As Agent Ray:
- Call the number using her cellphone.
As Agent Reyes
- Head to the right tunnel from the area with the brick wall.
The Sheriff will open the gate and Agent Reyes will be transported in front of the Town Hall.
Situation 2: Agent Reyes has Agent Ray’s cell phone in his inventory.
Since there is no cell service in the sewers and the payphone outside Ricki’s Cakes is out of order, you’ll have to call as Agent Reyes using the payphone in the sewers:
As Agent Ray, you can get a Dime from:
- The sidewalk in front of the Safety First Savings Bank on Main Street.
- The sidewalk between Petey’s Pet Emporium and Ricki’s Cakes in B Street.
- The road on the highway.
As Agent Ray:
- Go to the Quickie Pal’s parking lot.
- Use the Dime on the Sewer Grate to drop it into the sewers.
As Agent Reyes:
- Go back to the location where you first woke up.
- Enter the tunnel behind him.
- Pick up the Dime on the floor next to the ladder.
- Go back to the area with the brick wall.
- Open the Red Box on the wall.
- Use the Dime on the Payphone.
- Call the number.
- Head to the right tunnel.
The Sheriff will open the gate and Agent Reyes will be transported in front of the Town Hall.
If you dialed the wrong number, you can get your Dime back from the coin return slot. Don’t forget to pick up Agent Reyes’ notebook at the alley.
