Read through the 48 true/false statements on the back of the “Help!” note.
Use the cork board as a reference for any questions you are unsure about.
Using the Hemingway Heights map, eliminate any houses that have a false statement with their number. Example: on number 4 the statement is false since New York’s nickname is the Big Apple, not the Big Orange. This means you can mark out house number 4.

Joshua Ridgeley needs some help with his geometry homework. He has mentioned it has something to do with the sum(addition) of each row and column. If you look carefully at the grid you will notice that the top row of numbers does not have any question marks. Use this as a starting point. Find the sum of the top row. This will give you the value of the triangle.
Once you know the value of the triangle you can figure out what number needs to replace the ? in the first column, since it will have the same sum as the first row since they are both marked with triangles. Hint: triangles = 17, so the total for each row and column marked with a triangle needs to equal 17. That mean that the ? in the first column needs to be replaced with a 3. Use this thinking to complete the rest of the grid. Use the four numbers that replaced the ? to access the QR code. The information you get from Joshua will help you eliminate some houses.

Amber mentions that this puzzle has something to do with the little league poster. Look at the top of the little league poster.
The icon with the 4 letters is what you will need to use with the letter grid on the back of Amber’s card. Use the line as a path and trace out the path on the letter grid to get a message. Start at the letter U.
The first word you will get is “unlock.” The information you get from Amber will help you eliminate some houses. Use the information from Amber with the HOA’s list of homes.

Scan the QR code on the back of the Vet Clinic card and listen to the audio.
“We found one of those microchips that some owners get for their dogs. We called the number we pulled from the scan. The number was for a company called VetTech. They were able to get us the dog owner's contact information. Unfortunately, it is against the clinic's policy to give out the owner's information. I don't want to lose my job. At the same time, I understand that this is a bit of an emergency. I have an idea. The owner’s phone number is a local number. So, it should be pretty easy to figure out what the first six digits of the phone number are. To get the last four digits of the phone number, take the year the clinic was founded and multiply that number by the number of animals in our logo. Finally, add in the total number of barks that you have heard during this conversation. The total should give you the last four digits of the dog owner’s phone number.”There are 17 barks.
1954 x 3 =5862 + 17 = 5879
You will need to listen to the Animal Clinic worker to solve this.
The worker mentions that the phone number you need is a local number so the first six digits are the same as other local numbers. Look through the items you have to find a local number so you can get the first six digits.
To get the last four digits listen and follow the directions given by the Animal Clinic worker. The information you get from this will help you eliminate some houses.

The letters you need for the nodes are on the notebook paper that has Eddie’s notes.
Like the notes about door one say, you will need to figure out which nodes you need to move to make a clear path for the current to pass through.Example: Moving this metal circle up will unblock that part of the path
The letters you get from the nodes the current passes through will spell a word.

Use the image of the two gears with the notes about door two and the “HEADACHE” message in Eddie's notes. Use the word HEADACHE with the letters on the gear.
Starting with H you should see that H corresponds to the number 8 on the numbered gear. You are told that the numbered gear can spin. The direction under the H on Eddie’s notes has a 2 with a clockwise turn. If the numbered gear was turned 2 moves clockwise the 6 would now correspond to the H. So H gives you 6. (See the first image below)
Remember Eddie’s hint about always coming back to the beginning. This means the numbered gear will reset back to its starting point each time. The next letter is E. After you turn the numbered gear 3 click counter-clockwise 8 is now where the 6 was located. So 8 corresponds to E. (See the second image below). So your first two numbers you have gotten from the H and the E are 68.

Use the notes about door three to help you solve this puzzle.
The notes have a few hints. The amount of each color is not useful, so don’t count. Rearrange your thinking, so you will need to move some stuff around.
There is a tracing feature over the dots, so you will have to trace something, after you have rearranged them. The # with the arrows is your clue on how to rearrange the numbers. Rearrange the numbers from least to greatest. Then write out the dots with their adjacent numbers. Example: the first two rows would look like this
If you don’t have colored markers or pens you can always use letters to represent the colors.Example: instead of make Red, Red, Green, Green circle/dots you can write outR R G G

Use the record log for the ankle monitor that is normal to translate the encrypted logs.
The message at the top of the page that has the company's name, slogan, and phone number is the same for both pages. So you can use this to help you translate the rest of the document.

“Helena” sent Eddie a secret message on March 8th that she said he would have to decipher.
Fill the letters and words as you decipher the message. What you see with: eye=I
13th letter in the alphabet: m . Opposite of far + shortened word you say when hanging up the phone: near +bye = nearby. So the message will start with, “I’m nearby…”
“I'm nearby, not house with two odd digits.”

Jake Blecher coaches the Bear Cubs little league team. Based on the little league poster from part 1, Jake would have been at a game on March 8th during the time the catfisher was talking with Eddie.Michele was at the courthouse on March 4th during the time “Helena” was talking with Eddie. So she could not be the catfisher.Jacqueline is eliminated when the catfisher gives out information about themselves in the chat transcripts about their house number. “Not house with two odd digits” Since Jacqueline’s house number is 31, you can eliminate her.Chad can be eliminated as a suspect when you piece together the torn-up letter. The letter reveals that the HOA vice president, which you know is Chad based on the HOA letter from part one, is out of the country without technology on March 9th. So he couldn’t have talked with Eddie on that date.
You will need to have all suspects eliminated and have completed the search on the Night Out website.
