ABOUT THIS WALKTHROUGH/FAQ
--------------------------
This is a FAQ/walkthrough for the Nintendo DS game Metropolis Crimes by Lexis
Numberique, published by Ubisoft.
The "SOLUTIONS & ANSWERS" part of this walkthrough lists all the solutions to
the clues and the answers to the interview questions, so obviously spoilers
are bound!
As the title of the "SPOILER-FREE HINT SHEETS" part suggests, these are a list
of hints which try not to give the solution away. After all, once you solve the
clue it loses its replay value, so might as well make the first time count!
I've listed all of The Informer's hints there, as well as additional hints
from myself for some of clues (especially where the Informer doesn't give a
hint where one would've been nice).
------------
GAME SUMMARY
------------
You play as Detective Red Johnson who lives in the town of Metropolis, where
crime is abundant and the police are corrupt. You follow Detective Red through
four cases, where it's up to him to solve the clues and determine who the
criminal is.
The game play has two major parts to it, searching crime scenes for clues and
suspect interviewing.
Clues are all self-contained puzzles; usually you're given an object or a
scene to examine, then you have to figure out how to solve it using the touch
screen.
Interviews are usually played in two rounds, with 2-4 matches per round. You
pick your match subjects from a list of topics to ask the suspect about. Each
topic usually consists of "choose the right answers" or a mini-game. If you
win the majority of your matches, you win that round. Win both rounds and you
win the interview.

INVESTIGATING - PART 1
======================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 0 - Insect repellent
This one's pretty self explanatory since it's the tutorial after all.
Just follow the instructions the game gives you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 1 - Cash register
Location: Reception, cash register.
Pull down the register's handle three times to get the receipt out, then tear
the receipt off. You find out there should be $223 in the register.
Rotate the register to its the left side. Zoom in and press the power switch.
Turn the register to the front and press the red button. The register opens and
you have to count the money by moving the notes from one side of the tray to
the next.
The symbols on the money represent its value, so the value of the folded notes
can be worked out:
Club = 20, Diamond = 10, Spade = 5, Moon =2, Star = 1
Once the money's been counted, Red'll then ask:
"There's no shortage of money in the cash register" - False
Then he'll ask how much money is missing. If you've counted correctly you
should get an answer of $102. Since we know there was $223, but only counted
$102, it's just a case of 223 minus 102 which gives us:
Answer: $121
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 2 - Notebook
Location: Reception, in one of the open drawers.
Remove the clutter off the notebook, then open the notebook. Scribble all over
the page until the words appear.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 3 - Footprint
Location: Reception, crate under the window.
Pull out a sheet from the envelope on the right, place it over the footprint.
Scribble over the footprint to get a print of it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 4 - Red Light
Location: Dark room, red light bulb.
Unscrew the red light bulb with a right to left motion.
Take the bulb out and put it in the box, get the white light bulb and place it
where the red bulb was. Screw it in with a left to right motion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 5 - Scarf
Location: Dark room, on Dick's body.
Turn the scarf around to its back. Zoom in on the label. Switch to use mode
and uncrumple the label.
Q: "Interesting... the weapon belonged to a certain..."
A: "Jemima"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 7 - Inkstamp
Location: Reception, on the first shelf, right side (only available after
solving the Scarf puzzle).
Pull the stamp pad from the right, slide the lid open with a left to right
motion. Rub the stamp pad. Pull the paper from the left, tap on the paper.

"It was on a notebook" - False
"or rather, it was on the murder weapon!" - True
"The murder weapon belonged to Marc Howell" - False
"The murder weapon belonged to miss Griger" - True
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 6 - Newspaper vending machine
Location: Outside, left of window.
Zoom in twice on the coin slot at the top of the vending machine.
Tap the change flap (looks like a bullseye) and get the coin. Rotate the
vending machine to its right side.
Zoom in on the same area at the top. Drag the coin into the slot. Rotate the
vending machine back to the front. Pull the handle.
Pull up the flap at the bottom of the vending machine and get the newspaper.

CLUE 8 - Box
Location: Dark room, grey box.
Turn the box around until you see a matchbook. Open it up.
Pick any match. To light the match, flick your stylus in a left to right motion
on the striking surface. Make sure you flick the stylus quickly.
Once the match is lit, move it as near the top of the screen as you can under
the damp-looking splotch. The number code should start appearing.
You don't have to use all the matches, but if you run out of matches before
the code is revealed, you'll have to start again.
The code is 724, enter that into the padlock. Flick the two latches and open
the lid.
It's possible to open the lock straight away without doing the thing with the
matches though, since the code will always be 724!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 9 - Window
Location: Outside, the window.
Zoom in, look at the bottom-right of the window for a black splotch. Powder the
spot three times, then blow.

the tune on the recorder. You know you've got the correct notes if the drawer
on the music box starts to open. If you get one note wrong, the drawer closes
and you have to start again from the beginning.
To operate the recorder, hold the stylus over one of the recorder holes and
blow into the DS mic.
There are seven holes, so counting from the left, play the recorder in this
order.
3rd hole, 4th hole, 5th hole, 4th hole, 1st hole, 3rd hole.

INVESTIGATING GABRIEL'S FLAT
============================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 18 - Telephone
Location: Outside the theatre, left of theatre door.
Pull receiver, put coin in. Check diary, Gabriel's number is 1753. Dial that
in.
"Don't you recognize my voice?"
"Don't mess with me. You know my name!"
"Yeah. I'm a bit under the weather at the moment"
"Now. Can you come over straight away?"
Go right, enter Gabriel's flat to get stopped by an alarm system.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 19 - Alarm system
Location: Rooftop, window on the roof.
Touch the fingerprint area to set the alarm off.
Undo the three screws with an anti-clockwise motion. Sever the wires by
tapping them ONLY when their light is green. If you sever the wire when its
light is red.... you lose, and it counts as a failed attempt.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 20 - Wall
Location: Gabriel's flat, wall to the right.
Tap around the wall to look for a weak spot.
The weak spot's at center right of the wall. Keep tapping until the wall
starts to crack, to reveal a gun.
Gun: Pull the ejector rod out (the pin thing under the gun barrel). Pull the
bullet out of the cylinder by rubbing near the bottom of the cylinder. It
might take you several tries, the game's kinda fussy where you rub.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 21 - Telephone
Location: Gabriel's flat, telephone.
Pick up the receiver and press the 'R' button.
"This is Gabriel"
"I've got a cold"
"Password? What are you talking about? There's never been a password!"
"Yes, it's done. He's pushing up the daisies"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 22 - Computer
Location: Gabriel's flat, computer.
Here you have to search around the computer to look for letters that make up
the password. Here's the solution:
O x2 - from the 'tO enter the cOde, press the space bar'
S - on the sticky note
T - under the sticky note when you peel it off
IP - scratch off the white stain
E - missing key
M - discoloured key
R - tap the 'R' key, it has a different sound from the other keys
L - turn off the computer screen
Which gives us the word, 'METROPOLIS'. Press the space bar and enter that into
the computer.

INVESTIGATING - THE CARAVAN
===========================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 2 - Wanted poster
Location: Outside the caravan, pillar on the right
Scribble over Red's face, until he has bushy eyebrows and a beard.
If you've coloured in the eyebrow and beard, but the game doesn't register
you've done it, it's most likely because you've not coloured a part in
completely.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 3 - Crystal ball
Location: Inside the caravan, crystal ball
Rotate the crystal ball so you can see it from the top. Keep rubbing the ball
until you can lift it up from its stand. Press the button under the crystal
ball, rotate back down, then press the right button three times.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 4 - Stove
Location: Inside the caravan, stove on the left
-Zoom in twice on the area right at top of the stove, unscrew both screws on
the chimney hinge. Chimney should swing open, scroll right and get the money.
-Open the top compartment with a right to left motion. Pull out the logs. Get
the money inside.
-Pull the lever. Money should fall down into the top compartment, get the
money.
-Open the bottom door from right to left. Pull out the tray. Blow the ashes
away. Change the angle so you're viewing the stove from the top. Get the
money from the tray.
-While viewing the stove from the top, open the circle plate on top of the
stove with an anti-clockwise motion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 5 - Mask
Location: Inside the caravan, just above the crystal ball to the right.
You'll automatically be holding a match, light the match by striking it on the
playing cards. Light the candle you-can't-see by moving the match to the upper
left area of the screen.
Move the candle to the right on top of the playing cards to burn the rope.
You'll find a coffin.
Coffin: Pull out the pins, then open the coffin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 6 - Diary
Location: Inside the caravan, book near on the skull on the right.
Read the diary, then answer questions afterwards about the diary's contents.
Q: "The victim, Salvatore, always booked appointments with the fortune-teller
on..."
A: "Tuesdays"
Q: "The diary also contained the phone number of a certain Rosa. Her number
was:"
A: "9624"
Q: "This month, the fortune-teller's biggest client was:"
A: "Salvatore"
Q: "I also noticed..."
A: "that a page had been torn out"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 7 - Tarot cards
Location: Inside the caravan, on the book shelf to the left.
I think this one's probably the hardest and most obscure puzzle in the game.
The box gives you a clue to the number you need to put into the mask, and
you're supposed to find the solution by looking at the Tarot cards.
Pull the box with the mask down to get your first clue. To put your answer in,
input the number, then pull the tongue. It'll give you a key if you're correct.
Then just drag the key to the corresponding locks.
-------------
TAROT CLUE #1
Eclipse: The Moon (XVIII, 18) + The Sun (XVIIII, 19) = Eclipse (37)
-------------
TAROT CLUE #2
669: The number of the Devil is '666' so:
666 + 3 = 669
So: The Devil (XV, 15) + 3 = 18
If you play the game in French, it had an additional clue where there was a
five-pointed star drawn under the 669.
-------------
TAROT CLUE #3
Great Bear:
Now this one was a real head scratcher! The Great Bear (Ursa Major) is a star
constellation, and the most well-known part of this constellation is the Big
Dipper.
In several countries, the Big Dipper is often referred to as a wagon, cart or
most importantly in this case, a chariot.
Answer to this puzzle: The Star (XVII, 17) + The Chariot (VII, 7) = 24
-------------
TAROT CLUE #4
20 + 8 = 13: Judgement (XX, 20) + Justice (VIII, 8) = Death (XIII, 13)
In ye olden days, if a man was judged guilty by the courts and
sentenced to death, what happened to him? He would've been hung!
So the answer is: The number of the Hanged Man (XII, 12)

Location: Upstairs of Rosa's flat, just above the sofa on the right.
You have to throw the darts and get a score of 90. It seems it's only possible
to hit the dartboard in five places, so position the dart as so to score:
Left of dartboard = 8
Left of bullseye = 9
Bullseye = 50
Right of bullseye = 4
Right of dartboard = 13
The easiest two solutions I think are:
Hit the bullseye, then hit the 8 five times.
OR
Hit the 13 six times, then the 4 three times.

GENERAL TIP
-----------
Once the puzzle starts, check if you can switch between use/observe mode. If
you can get to observe mode, it usually means you need to look around the
object.
Also, all the puzzles are all self-contained, so you never really need to check
somewhere else first to solve it (well, except the answer for Tommy's
computer).

light on that detective.

The Informer's Hint:
Now about this scarf, it's all down to observation... turn, zoom, move and find
the clue! It's as simple as that.

Make sure you're used to switching between observe/use mode. When you're in use
mode, you can't move around or rotate the item.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 6 - Newspaper vending machine
The Informer's Hint:
Don't tell me you've never used a vending machine? Take a coin, insert the
coin, drop the coin into the slot, pull the lever, take the newspaper.
Sometimes your slowness worries me Red.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 7 - Inkstamp
The Informer's Hint:
Do you need me to teach you how to use an ink stamp? Open the sliding lid of
the ink pad, press the stamp against the ink, then get a piece of paper and
press the stamp on it... it's not exactly rocket science!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 8 - Box
The Informer's Hint:
Invisible ink can sometimes be detected with a heat source... but watch out...
arson is a crime.

If you're having trouble lighting the matches, imitate the motion you would
do if you had a real match.

Top screen's your friend.

anything, reel in the catch!
Additional Hint:
You can 'fish' in the same spot more then once.

CLUE 3 - Body

call his voicemail, you might find out some interesting things, don't you
think?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do I have to hold your hand, here? Follow the wire, open up the panel, rewind,

To open a latch, lift it up and pull.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LUIS'S FLAT

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 9 - Medical Cabinet
The Informer's Hint:
When I was younger, I liked drawing pictures with my finger on a misted-up
mirror. Do you know how to get a mirror misted up? You don't? I'm sure you've
got some damp air in your lungs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 10 - Luis's jacket
The Informer's Hint:

then!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEON'S FLAT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 13 - Telephone
The Informer's Hint:
Leon's number was recorded on your tape recorder, which is also in the phone
box. Go back and have another look.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever used a wallpaper steamer? Also remember that there's no order without
fruit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes you have to do things by force... by slamming the door... or the
drawer!

recorder works.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GABRIEL'S FLAT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to stop it now that the alarm's already gone off!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 20 - Wall
Additional Hints:
If you're having trouble removing the bullet, try rubbing at the lower area of
the cylinder - it might take a couple of tries.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 21 - Telephone
The Informer's Hint:
Have a think before you dial just any old number. There's a very easy way to
call the last number dialled - you only need to push one button. But don't
forget to pick up the receiver, to actually make the call.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 22 - Computer
The Informer's Hint:
The password has ten letters. First step: find out which letters make up the
code. Second step: rearrange the letters into the right order. I'll be kind -
you have the letter "o" twice, then another 8 letters to find.
Additional Hints:
-Here's some hints for the least obvious letters:
1. You can find one by using your ears.
2. Unsticky note.
3. The monitor on the top screen hides another letter apart from the ones
the Informer has already given you.
-Once you have your ten letters, and you suck at anagrams like me, try using
an anagram solver on the 'net. It worked for me! :P
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RED'S HQ - LOCKER

LOCKER ITEM 1 - Sheet music

Pay attention to the beautiful words of the songs... They might teach you
something.

Use your artistic talents. Draw on a beard, glasses... whatever.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tried pressing it?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Informer's Hint:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 5 - Mask
The Informer's Hint:
Have you tried pulling out the pins?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 7 - Tarot cards
The Informer's Hint:
This is a very strange item, but here's what I can tell you about it: 666 is
the number of the devil. The Great Bear is a constellation that looks like a
saucepan or an old-fashioned plough. Finally, one of the riddles is not a
maths problem, in spite of appearances.
Additional Hints:
Eclipse - What do you need to make an eclipse?
669 - The Informer says 666 is the number of the devil, what's different with
this clue? And how can you apply it to the devil?
Great Bear - This clue is referring specifically to the Big Dipper, which is
part of the Great Bear constellation. It's sometimes referred to
as a 'cart/chariot' in some parts of the world.
20 + 8 = 13 - What is the likely outcome of this story the tarot is telling
you?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 8 - Booth
The Informer's Hint:
As usual, your numbers are noted in your diary, which you have left somewhere
in the phone box... I know, I know, one of the numbers is unusual... Have you
ever sent a text message, detective?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROSA'S FLAT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 9 - Rosa's door
The Informer's Hint:
It's easy to get the key to drop on the other side of the door. However, you'll
need a way to get it then - by sliding a piece of paper under the door, maybe.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 10 - Sticker
Additional Hints:
You need to stick the sticker onto the top screen without touching your touch
screen, how can you do that?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 11 - Dartboard
The Informer's Hint:
How do you make a score of 90? All I can tell you is that 10x9 equals 90...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 12 - Desk

Sometimes shining a light onto a white surface can reveal things...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOMMY'S PLACE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Informer's Hint:
You know that ice melts when it gets near a heat source, don't you?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 14 - Suitcase
The Informer's Hint:
Watch out! The best thing to do with a bomb is to get it out of the way - and
quick! In the rubbish chute, for instance. You just need to find a way to get
it in there.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 15 - Computer
The Informer's Hint:
If you forget your password, you can get it sent to your e-mail account...
Additional Hints:
Don't spell out the password out in letters, you're giving Tommy too much
credit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 16 - Binoculars
The Informer's Hint:
Don't forget to take off the lens covers...

HALL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 1 - Telephone
The Informer's Hint:
Tapes and a tape player... it should be obvious what to do. But make sure that
it's all plugged in!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 2 - Front door
The Informer's Hint:
If your fingers aren't long enough to reach into this letterbox, could there
be another way...?
Additional Hints:
Feel free to vandalise the fishing rod once you've gotten your clue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KITCHEN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 3 - Timetable

Sometimes all it takes is an observant eye. If you don't know where to look,
let me remind you that it's Monday today!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 4 - Cup
The Informer's Hint:
It would seem quite likely that one of the bottles here contains the poison
that killed this mouse... With good observation skilled and a few simple
actions, we ought to be able to work out which bottle caused this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 5 - Coat
The Informer's Hint:
Search, explore, observe... sometimes that's all you need to do to find clues.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CELLAR
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 6 - Washing machine
The Informer's Hint:
The current programme needs to finish in order to open the machine. But if the
programme restarts, the drum will fill with water and the evidence will all be
washed away! If only there were a way to finish the programme without any
water.
Additional Hints:
Yes, you're suppose to spin the body around in the washing machine, morbidly
enough...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 7 - Bloodstain
The Informer's Hint:
Did you not see a strange shape in the pool of blood... A shape that may well
have been left by a tool... But what type of tool?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 8 - Washing
The Informer's Hint:
This stake doesn't seem to stay up very well. What kind of tool would you use
to knock it back in?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 9 - Window
The Informer's Hint:
Apparently, two-thirds of people hide their door keys under the doormat or in a
flower pot... funny, isn't it?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 10 - Handbag
The Informer's Hint:
You'll need to show a bit of dexterity... Catch the items falling out of the
bag. One of them might well be an important clue.
Additional Hints:
The game's kind of fussy where you shake. Try using the area between the bag
handles as a guide.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPSTAIRS HALLWAY / BEDROOM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 11 - Camera
The Informer's Hint:
This camera seems to have different filters and settings that can help capture
specific pieces of information.
Additional Hints:
Don't forget to do the same thing you did with the binoculars in inquiry 3!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 12 - Medical records
The Informer's Hint:
What about making a quick call to Agatha's doctor? It might be useful to hear
what he has to say.
Additional Hints:
All the information you need is onscreen, you just have to pull it into view
first.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 13 - Dustbin
The Informer's Hint:
Isn't it easy to peel off a piece of paper when it is damp... rather than dry?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 14 - Safe
The Informer's Hint:
Agatha might simply have used something in her immediate surroundings to come
up with a code. Have a good look around!
Additional Hints:
There's one number hidden in each panel of the window. Input the numbers you
find in this order: Top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right.
The bottom-right one's the hardest to find... *obnoxious SIGH*...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 15 - Staircase
The Informer's Hint:
Every little detail counts. Have a really good look at this scene and try to
find as many clues as possible.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 16 - Bird cage
The Informer's Hint:
Those creatures are notoriously difficult to please. Have a good read of the
box before giving it the feed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLUE 17 - House plant
The Informer's Hint:
Does that ring any bells? A cup that got knocked over... A dead mouse...
poison?

MISCELLANEOUS INFO......................................................[MISCI]
_______________________________________________________________________________
--What are the game ranks?
A - Living Legend
B - Super Sleuth
C - Professional
D - Amateur Detective
E - Country Cop
--What's with the RANK 0% thing under your player name on the main menu?
As far as I know, it doesn't seem to do anything, and is always stuck at 0%.
My guess is it's a feature that was never implemented/finished. Infact, if you
look at the official site for MC (http://metropoliscrimes.au.ubi.com/), it
has a screenshot for a developing-your-own-photos feature that never made it;
artwork that was never used and some info on Red's backstory that was never
explained in game which might've been a case they didn't have time to put in.
--Any unlockables?
Not that I'm aware of. The only strange thing is, that on your first
playthrough, after stages where the game automatically saves, you're usually
given a menu option of 'Continue, Notebook, Exit'. But on your second
playthrough, you're only given the option of 'Exit', which forces you to return
to the main menu. Dunno why.
--Does getting an 'A' rank on all four cases give you anything?
Getting an 'A' rank overall gets you nothing. You get can an 'A' rank for
Inquiries 1-3, but I think getting an 'A' rank for Inquiry 4 is impossible.
When I tried it, I managed to get an 'A' for everything but the 'bonuses' (it
gave me a 'B') then it gave me an overall score of B.
Also, on the main menu it says 'Completed: 90%' next to Inquiry 4.
I think it's impossible to complete Inquiry 4 100%, because I'm guessing
the last 10% was meant to be for Red returning to his HQ, which never
happened. I'm presuming the game makers ran out of time and had to quickly
wrap up Inquiry 4 judging from the way it ended.
But feel free to email me and prove me wrong if you've managed to complete
Inquiry 4 100% or get an 'A' rank by legitimate means!
