"Police Quest 3" Part 2 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Carla Reed

Sonny gets in touch with a local reporter, who helps him locate a witness to the attack on Marie. The witness is a homeless lady named Carla Reed.

Answer: The face of the attacker

Carla Reed says that she has a perfect memory of the attacker's face. So with her help and the help of a computer, Sonny learns what the suspect looks like. From there, he also earns the name of the attacker and he learns that he is part of an evil cult called "Sons of Darkness" that has been known to deal with cocaine.

If you answered "Information about the cult" or "The name of the attacker," you are wrong because while Sonny learns those two things because of Carla Reed, he learns those things indirectly from her. She did not actually know the attacker's name nor did she know anything about the cult. Sonny found out those two things from the information Carla Reed and, and the information she had was his face.

Sonny already knew the location of the attack.

Answer: Steve Rocklin

Carla Reed's facial profile leads the computer to three suspects. From those three she identifies "the one in the middle" as the attacker. That one is named Steve Rocklin.

Answer: The slow driver

On day 1, Sonny should have given a ticket to a driver driving 35 MPH in the fat lane on a highway. This driver decided to protest the ticket in court.

It is technically possible to skip this event. Day 4 is supposed to be a very busy day for Sonny, but if you never pulled over the slow driver, you'll have a relatively easy day 4. Most of the things that are supposed to happen on day 4 won't happen if you don't pull over the slow driver on day 1. In this scenario, the only thing you have to do on day 4 is investigate the murder that happens that day. The game becomes inexplicably unwinnable if you don't deal with the slow driver. You won't be stuck at this point in the game though. You'll still be able to continue for a while longer almost to the end. Where you'll get stuck is on day 6 when you need to go to the court to get a search warrant. You won't be able to get the warrant because the game doesn't let you in the courthouse if you don't pull over the slow driver.

Answer: Speed calibration chart

You need a speed calibration chart to prove that the man was driving too slow. If you don't have this, the man will be found not guilty.

This puzzle is cruel because it's hard to imagine how any non-cop would solve this without getting it wrong first. The only hint for this puzzle is in the manual. In the court procedures section, the manual tells you that you should have all the necessary a paperwork before going to court. However, nowhere does it specify what paperwork you would need for a slow driver or where you would find it.

Answer: The time that the driver was pulled over

Throughout the game, times are displayed in the top left corner of the screen using the 24-hour clock. It will be important to note that time when you pull over the slow driver. if you get it wrong, his lawyer will point it out and the defendant will be found not guilty.

This is the one time in the game that you HAVE to note the time. However, it's also a good idea to note the time when you pull over the speeder because you'll be asked to put the time on that ticket, too. However, if you get it wrong there it won't matter too much because the speeder won't protest his ticket. You'll just lose some points.

Answer: Yes

As long as you have the court date, the game is still winnable. This is a relatively minor side quest for the game. The slow driver is clearly guilty. However, he's not particularly dangerous. He's not going to go around harming other people. He may continue driving slow in the fast lane in the future, but Sonny will not be held responsible for that. You don't want to lose the court case, but as long as you have the court case, you don't have to worry about the rest of the game except for your final score.

You will only be stuck if you never pulled him over at all.

Answer: Oak Tree Mall

Once you're done at the court, Pat Morales will say that she wants to go to the mall. Then, she will hurry to the pay phone and leave her key behind. This is an opportunity for you to get a copy of her key by taking her key to Zak's keymaker and getting it made.

This is programmed to happen right after the court case. Hence, if you did not pull over the slow driver, you do not go to the mall on day 4. Pat should make you go to the mall 3 times this game. Of those three times, the one time that she will leave her key behind is the time after the court date. Hence, if you never pulled over the slow driver, you would have no way of getting Pat's key. This is another way that not pulling over the slow driver would inexplicably make the game unwinnable. However, if you failed to get a copy of Pat's key for a different reason (for example, you didn't move fast enough), there are ways around this. Pat's locker combination is always the same, so if you've played the game before or seen someone else play it and you remember Pat's locker combination, you'll still be able to get into her locker. You can also look it up on the internet. The game isn't programmed so that Sonny has to know her combo; just you the player has to know it. You'll forfeit points if you don't get a copy of Pat's key, but as long as you know the combo, Sonny knows the combo. Unfortunately, I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but this is still of no help if the reason you didn't get the key was because you never pulled over the slow driver. That gets you stuck in a different spot.

Answer: Don't return Pat's key in time

If you don't return Pat's key in time, a little box that pops up that says "BUSTED! You die of embarrassment" along with the three standard choices of Restore, Restart, Quit. It still has the same gameplay effect as any other death (the game is over and you have to do one of three things, you just don't see Jim Walls with his foot on a police car.

Answer: Andrew Dent

Andrew Dent gets murdered on Rose street, the same street that Marie was attacked on but much farther west. His body is found in a dumpster.

Answer: Pentagram

The symbol of the pentagram turns out to be very important in this game. The other two victims also had a pentagram carved in their chest. The five-sided bronze star that was stolen from Samuel Britt was another clue. The bronze star was found at the scene where Marie was attacked.

Answer: Ritual

All the successful murders in this game, as well as the unsuccessful attempt to murder Marie, are apparently part of a ritual that is being done by a religious group known as the "Sons of Darkness." It is a ritual where the pentagram is the overarching theme.

Answer: Gold paint

The car is mostly white, but Sonny finds a spot of gold paint on the back left bumper. He gets a sample of it and turns it into evidence. It helps him locate the car of the murderer.

Answer: The third one

The day after Marie was attacked, Sonny learns of two similar attacks that happened before Marie's attack. The captain tells him about one of the cases. The other case, which is the first one, is learned about by entering into the oomputer the serial number of the bronze star found at the scene of Marie's attack.

The cult is planning on killing 5 people for their pentagram. Andrew Dent was victim number 4. The 5th murder attempt will be on day 5.

Answer: Get the doctor to change her IV Meter

When Sonny arrives at the hospital on day 4, the doctor will tell him that her condition is unchanged. Sonny will look at the chart of the IV dosage she should be receiving, then look at the IV dosage she is receiving, and he will see a discrepancy. Then he should call the doctor and have it changed. Sonny has to do this, or Marie won't wake up at the end of the game.

You can give her the music box on day 4 but you should have already done so on day 2. you can kiss her at any time. You have to have already kissed at least once by this point in the game. You don't have the locket yet.
