Scenario
You are junior assistant professor at Forgotten State University. You are fighting for tenure, but
so far you have no students, you have done no research, and in short, it seems hopeless. Don't
despair, today you may be given one last chance.
Walk Through
(Start in your office), GET COAT, EXAMINE COAT, WEAR COAT, EXAMINE ROLODEX (full of telephone
numbers), GET JOURNAL, EXAMINE JOURNAL, READ JOURNAL, OPEN JOURNAL, GET PAPER (slip), READ PAPER
(message informs you that the dean would like to see you in his office as soon as possible), W, N
(outside dean's office), EXAMINE SECRETARY (she won't let you in without an appointment),
SHOW PAPER TO SECRETARY (she opens the door), N (dean's office where he is asleep in a chair),
EXAMINE DEAN, PUSH DEAN (he wakes and gives you one last change to buy a NMR spectrometer, have it
delivered and installed, find a good sample and be back with some quality data within four months),
S, S, W, N (small coffee room), EXAMINE REFRIGERATOR (note don't open it or the "mystery
meat" inside will get you), EXAMINE COFFEE POT, POUR COFFEE, GET CUP (of coffee), EXAMINE
TOASTER, GET TOASTER, S, E.
E (back to your office), READ ROLODEX, CALL SALESMAN, WAIT (until salesman arrives), GIVE COFFEE TO

next salesman arrives), SHOW JOURNAL TO SALESMAN (he takes a brief look and returns to his
monologue), SHOW JOURNAL TO SALESMAN (he hurries off), WAIT (until next salesman arrives), SHOW
JOURNAL TO SALESMAN (he shows interest and offers an attractive package), SHAKE HAND (you have
purchased a spectrometer).
EXAMINE DESK, OPEN DRAWER (see a brass key), GET BRASS KEY (note this opens the refrigerator in the
chemistry lab which contains a bag of food but it isn't necessary to complete the game),
EXAMINE COAT, EXAMINE POCKET, GET SILVER KEY, W, W, N (coffee room), OPEN REFRIGERATOR (contains a
NMR sample), GET SAMPLE, S, S, D (basement where you see a large iron door), UNLOCK DOOR WITH SILVER
KEY, DROP SILVER KEY, OPEN DOOR, E (new NMR laboratory), EXAMINE SPECTROMETER, READ DISPLAY, PUT
SAMPLE IN
SPECTROMETER, W, U, U, E, E (back to your office), READ ROLODEX (find the number of a liquid helium
company), CALL HELIUM, W, W, S, D, E (new NMR laboratory), OPEN CUPBOARD (see helium transfer line),
GET LINE, PUT LINE IN SPECTROMETER, E (loading dock where you see liquid helium dewar), GET DEWAR,
EXAMINE DEWAR, W, FILL SPECTROMETER WITH DEWAR, READ DISPLAY, OPEN MANUAL, READ MANUAL (now
