My Friendly Neighborhood Part 3: MFN Studios Offices Guide

Find the Yellow Velvet Mask

Check the lobby table to get some ammo, then head to the door to the left (from where you came) to get to the Exhibit Room. This room has several puppets, including a new type that are mounted on walls and jump towards you as you move in close.

Clear the puppets out, then move to the next room where you will find a safe room. Inside the safe room is a Yellow Velvet Mask that you can take with you. This is one of four masks that you will have to collect in order to unlock a part of another puzzle later on.

Get The Punctuation Grenade

Exit back to the lobby. The door directly opposite to you has a Lounge connecting to an elevator that is currently not working; take note of this for now. Check the table for the Note – On the War.

Head up the stairs and go through the center door to arrive at the Theater Lobby. In here, you will find a lot of knocked down puppets and a display case that contains The Punctuation Grenade. This can be thrown to knock down enemies with its explosion. Check the small room to the right to find some ammo.

Find the Pink Velvet Mask

Proceed to the Theater and head to the stage to find a Pink Velvet Mask in the display case. Be prepared to defend yourself as the puppets from the lobby will start charging into the Theater. You can test The Punctuation to easily clear the mob out.

Explore the 2nd Floor

Head back out to the stairs where you’ll see two more stairs on both sides and each side has a door. The room to the left is the West Office that has another door that is locked on the other side, while the door on the right leads to the East Office that is connected to the Executive Hallway. Be careful at this point as Gobblette will be roaming in and out of the rooms to chase you down.

Once Gobblette sees you, it will charge towards your direction. The good thing is that it cannot change directions until it hits a wall and stops.

Get the MFN Studios Offices Map

Go to the office on the right then head to the next door. The corridor will have a couple of puppets standing guard; it’s best to tie them up if you can as you’ll be passing here again later. The first fork in the corridor leads to a locked door on the edge of a staircase, while the next fork leads to a door to a room where the MFN Studios Offices Map can be found.

Find the Game Piece

Go back to the corridor and take the door at the very end. You will then be at a Mezzanine that has a staircase on the side which leads to a red diamond door; take the hallway for now.

Take the next door to reach the Rear Staircase and a door that leads to the West Offices. You can take a detour down to the staircase for now before heading back to the West Offices.

Once you’re down the staircase, follow the sign that leads to the TV Studio which goes across the front lobby of the building. Inside the TV Studio’s backstage, you will find Note – Ep. 346 Script. There’s also a door with the red diamond and another room where you can find a chess set.

Pick up the Game Piece from this set as you will be needing it for later. You can’t go inside Stage 3 from this side and you will have to find another way into it.

Get the Red Diamond Key

Head back up the Rear Staircase and take the door to the West Offices. The first room that you’ll reach will be a small kitchen, take down the puppet inside and check the fridge and cabinets for some potion and ammo. The connecting corridor will be lined with wall puppets, so tread carefully.

At the end of a corridor is a door that leads to the Rec Room that has a shooting range. Ring the bell on the range to bring the targets up. Once you hit all the targets, it will open up a box that contains potions; follow the cable from the range to see where the box is.

On the corner of the room is Norman sleeping over the MFN board game. It also has the Red Diamond Key under its hand. The only way that you can get the key is to play the board game with Norman. Since you have the Game Piece from earlier, use it to play against the puppet.

The objective of the game is to reach the finish line first by playing your cards right. You will be dealt with five cards with numbers from 1 to 3. To move your piece, play a card and your piece will move the same amount of spaces written on that card. Some of the spaces have special mechanics that are listed on the rule sheet such as draw a card, play the top card on the deck, play only 1, and instant lose. Once you win against Norman, you will get the key.

Check the pool table to find the Note – Pool table Note.

On the other side of the Rec Room is a Safe that needs a code to open up; take note of this for now and check the Note – New Safe which provides some hint on how to open it. Check the door nearby to unlock it as it leads back to the West Office.

Find the Violet Velvet Mask

Make your way back to the TV Studio to open the red diamond door. Go inside the room to find the Violet Velvet Mask.

Unlock Stage 3

To get inside Stage 3, head back to the Marquee Hall near the beginning of the floor and unlock the door to the TV Studio using the Red Diamond Key. Take down the two puppets inside, then unlock the door that leads to the backstage from earlier. Check the fridge to find a candy bar.

Then, check the other door which will lead you to the Machine Room. You can access the elevator from here, but you will need to find the Fluid Tank to make the elevator hydraulics work.

Unlock the Projection Room

Head back to the Executive Hallway and go up to the stairs that leads to the red diamond door. This door will lead to the Projection Room. There is a control panel inside where you can control which projector will turn on. Pressing #1 will make Gobblette visit the theater and this will be useful later on if you want to take the peaceful route with her. For now, check the window to find the Note – Puppet Space Quest Review.

Find the Red Velvet Mask

Head back to the Executive Hallway once more then go to the room with another red diamond door. You will find the Red Velvet Mask by the table.

Solve the Mask Puzzle/Get the Dice

Now that you have all four masks, head back to the Mezzanine on the second floor and go up the stairs to the Statue Room with the golden busts. In this room, you will have to place right mask on the right bust. There is a plaque that gives out a hint on which mask goes on which bust. The order goes:

• Norman – Violet
• Junebug – Yellow
• Lilianna – Pink
• George – Red

After placing the masks in the right order, the central pillar will rotate, revealing a model of the MFN Studios building. Pull the lever on the side to make 9 Dice fall out. Take all of them (they will only occupy one slot) and then go back to the Rec Room.

Solve the Safe Puzzle/Find the Fluid Tank

Back in the Rec Room, go to the Safe and place all of the dice on the slots. Then, push the red button on the side to make the circle panel flip and reveal the pattern that you will have to follow. The catch is that the dice have to be flipped so that the side that will touch the pattern will match the dots on the pattern. You can only flip the dice when the panel is closed.

The easiest way to complete this is to take note of all the pattern first, then flip the dice so that the number that you can see is the difference between 7 and the pattern number. For example: If the pattern is 3, then 7-3=4, so you will have to flip the dice and make sure that it shows 4 when the panel is closed. Do this for all the dice and you will unlock the safe. Inside the safe is where you will find the Fluid Tank.

You can then head back to the Machine Room and place the Fluid Tank to fix the hydraulics.

Get the Front Door Key

Head back to the Lounge where you can ride the elevator up to the 4th Floor and reach the Waiting Room. Go to the CEO Office where you can find the Front Door Key. before heading down, don’t forget to unlock the other door in the Waiting Room.

Go back down to the Main Hall where you will see a huge wall monster full of eyes that is blocking your way out. It shoots out puppets at you and it can also summon the small puppets to chase you down. To defeat this monster, you will need to attack its eyes. Tossing a couple of The Punctuation at it is an effective way to bring it down quickly. Once it is done, you can now head back out to the Studio Lot for the next area which is the Public Park.

Get the Cheat Tape #3

Travel back to the Main Set in Stage 4, then enter the ABC Building to find another red diamond door. Open it and you will find Cheat Tape #3 by the shelf.

How to help Gobblette

To help Gobblette, you will have to go visit Ray’s Basement once again. Take the elevator down at the Marquee Hall from earlier, then make your way back to the starting area of the Office Basement section. Here, you will find the red diamond door that you passed by. Open it to access the Restroom, then check the stalls to find the Reel #1. There’s also the Pump Piece that you can find in the shower floor that you will need to help Ray later on.

Go back to the Projection Room and place the reel on the first projector, then push the #1 button. This will make Gobblette go inside the Theater and sit down to watch the movie. You can then go down to the Theater where Gordon will talk to Gobblette and give her some words of advice. Gobblette wills top chasing you from now on and you will also unlock the A Star of Light Achievement.
