Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many Good Guides are used in the game?

Answer: Five

The Good Guides are named Ann Tickwitee, Ivan Idea, Rock Solid, Renee Santz and Polly Tix. Most of the Good Guides join the player on four missions that deals with a subject they specialise in, but Polly, who specialises in politics, is only a good guide for two missions.

2. Mission 1 is in Ancient Eygpt. You find out that the death of the ruler has occurred, and an important book has been stolen. What is it?

Answer: Book of the Dead

In this mission, you are accompanied by Ann Tickwitee, who specialises in artifacts. Her name is a fractured version of "antiquity". In this mission, you must help mummify the former ruler of Egypt and then capture Sir Vile, the thief.

Answer: Renee Santz

Renee specialises in the arts, which makes her a perfect help for writers and artists. This is the fourth mission, and you have to travel to huts symbolizing the seasons with Renee wearing the right kimono and lining, to adjust the mirrors and bring moonlight to the author. Afterwards, the player must find Medeva in the wardrobe.

4. The missions are in order of when each event happened.

Answer: True

The missions start from the Ancient Egyptians, continuing to the Romans, Vikings, continuing all the way to the Soviet Union. It then goes to all the places out of order after Carmen herself does.

Answer: Time Trooper

By the time the player has gone on five missions, they have met all five Good Guides. The Good Guide on the sixth mission is Rock Solid, who specialises in unknown realms and nature.

Answer: Lampblack

We get lampblack from a sooty lamp outside Gutenberg's firm. Ivan Idea is the Good Guide on this mission, due to his special subject being inventions and engineering.

7. Eight of Carmen's crooks are first caught, but Carmen conducts a jailbreak, and lets one more of her friends loose. What is the name of this new crook?

Answer: Dee Cryption

Dee Cryption only appears in one mission, when Thomas Edison is trying to invent the lightbulb. Once he's created the perfect lightbulb, Dee gets into an electric forcefield, and the player needs to use the lightbulb and wires to stop the forcefield working. According to the Good Guide on this mission, Ivan Idea, all it needed was one electric jolt.

8. There's one last thing the player needs before chasing Carmen, which she has hidden in the mid-twentieth century. What is the name of this piece of equipment?

Answer: Chronoskimmer

The Chronoskimmer allows the player to travel directly through time. Before this, they could only travel through time tunnels Carmen and her crooks had taken. According to the game, Ivan Idea actually invented the Chronoskimmer.

Answer: Mission 5

Mission 5 was the first mission to have Polly Tix as the Good Guide. When the player chases Carmen through the different time periods, we get a piece of information on where Carmen went next, and finally, the Good Guides trap Carmen back at ACME headquarters.

10. The Sandiego family was a long line of criminals and Carmen continued the tradition.

Answer: False

At the end of the game, the Chief tells the player that Carmen, was, in fact, one of ACME's most talented agents for a time. Unfortunately, it became so easy for her that she got bored and turned on ACME, trying her best to outsmart them. Carmen's final aim was to destroy her history of being an ACME agent. We know nothing about her family.
