Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Nelson Tethers works for which of the following government agencies?

Answer: F.B.I. (Federal Bureau of Investigation)

The game begins in the J. Edgar Hoover F.B.I. building in Washington, D.C. We see Nelson's office in the Puzzle Research department. It is implied that his department is not very busy most of the time.
2. Why does Nelson's supervisor send him to Scoggins, Minnesota?

Answer: To get the eraser factory running again

The Scoggins factory makes erasers used by the President. Finding Isaac Davner, the factory foreman, is important to this task, but is not Tethers' original mission. The Brotherhood lodge and the strange behavior of the townsfolk are mysteries Nelson doesn't uncover until after he gets to town.
3. What item, found in multiple spots around town, helps Nelson concentrate and provides hints if clicked on while working out a puzzle?

Answer: gum

Martha tells Nelson that new supplies won't arrive until spring. Nelson resorts to picking up wads of gum that have already been chewed-- YUCK!
4. Which of these is NOT a puzzle you (as Nelson) solve in the game?

Answer: give the right amount of sardines to Bjorn's cat

Bjorn has no cat that we know about. The other options are all simple visual puzzles -- draw as few lines as possible to fence in some bugs, find a path through an obstacle course, and make a single cut to cross through all other lines (wooden slabs covering a window.)
5. What do the Hidden People look like?

Answer: gnomes

Many Scoggins residents consider the Hidden People to be a myth, but the Brotherhood group at the lodge believe in, maybe even worship, these strange little gnome-like beings. All part of the mystery and weirdness that is this game!
6. What happens to Mike Lobb?

Answer: He freezes to death in the forest

It looks like Mike encountered the Hidden People, and either got lost or fell into a trance. He lived long enough to give Nelson some information and a gear piece for the factory door lock mechanism.
7. Who put the complicated lock on the factory?

Answer: Bjorn

Nelson figures out that Bjorn locked the factory to keep Isaac inside, not to stop eraser production. The Hidden People "chose" Isaac, and Bjorn and the lodge members were just making sure Isaac stayed put.
8. After finding Nelson unconscious in the forest, who/what does Bjorn tell him the Hidden People are?

Answer: people, living in nature like olden days

Scoggins residents ARE obsessed with puzzling, but there isn't sufficient evidence that this is the Hidden People's influence. Bjorn makes it clear that the Hidden People are human.
9. Which characters try to kill Nelson to keep him from interfering in the goings-on at the factory?

Answer: Glori & Sheriff Bahg

Glori cuts a hole in the ice so Nelson will sink and drown in icy water. Sheriff Bahg holds him at gunpoint AND sabotages his snowmobile so he can't get the final gear piece for the factory lock. Nelson's puzzle skills save him every time.
10. How does the game end?

Answer: The factory re-opens but Isaac is taken away by the Hidden People

The game doesn't end with all the loose ends tied up. Isaac is gone and so many weird things are unexplained. But never fear! The story gets finished in "Puzzle Agent 2".
