Main and Side Quests Walkthrough

A guide of main quest and 3 side quests in the game. Mild spoilers. Walkthrough of evidence gathering and interviews. *Achievements not included*

Intro

This guide includes walkthrough of the main quest and 3 side quests of Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon. I will describe side quests in details in 'Act 5' but you can receive and complete them anytime as long as they're available. You can only accept one side quest at a time.

Based on my own playthrough and youtube video walkthrough by AdventureGameFan8
I also referred to the Chinese guide by Fugui Li during my gameplay.

*If you want to get all achievements:
This achievements guide by Wiesler is quite detailed:

Also the guide of answers to all questions in Stand Up Clown minigame (by flesk) which I find useful:

**“Cheapskate!” is the only achievement that may cost you another playthrough. Complete the game (including hte main quest and all side quests) without calling a taxi except you're forced to use one at some points during the game.

Hi :D

Great guide and good work, I've used it and it's perfect for a quick playthrough.

I've just found a little thing missing in Act 4 after finding Clown Bot in the toiled you need to go back and talk to Garcia before going to the play Arcade :)
