With the firm application of bolt cutters the rusty padlock on the gates of the Boardwalk has been prised off. For a small fee at the ticket booth Detectives can take some down time to wander around the Boardwalk.

Whilst familiarising yourselves with the layout is a great idea, the real meat of the Boardwalk is the Carousel Furore; the times for these are listed on the case tab. The main way to get tickets is by solving cases at Really Really Hard or above in difficulty (the higher the difficulty, the better your chances). Your best chances of getting a ticket are an hour before a Furore is due to start, but if the tickets are gone they're gone.

Finally there is a second type of ticket; a back-up ticket. They will not be hard to find.

Happy sleuthing, and as ever please let me know when the bugs crop up and I'll deal with them ASAP.

Hi Bijorn, sorry about that - unique bug that's only come up now. I'm in the process of patching it and I've awarded you brass rings up to that maximum amount you could have won that game from that point.

Wow, thanks Yeti. This is great. :-)

A few minor changes have been added, the most significant of which are:

1) Three new high score tables are now available.
2) The Upcoming Furore list on the case tab outside of the Battery Boardwalk now displays how many players are already signed up to games.
3) Current server time (ST) is listed underneath these lists.
4) It is now possible for free players in cities other than NY to play the Furores using the special Boardwalk transport.
5) Further to that point it is now possible for free players in cities other than NY to travel BACK to NY. However once there they will once again be stuck until either subscribing or another free period comes along.

If player X has finished, can player X still trade to help those still searching for clues?

Apr-13-2017 11:34

From my experience, it doesn't seem like that's possible, no.

Thanks glasse.

Can you get a ticket whilst being in another city?

Apr-13-2017 13:48

Yup! You'll also get free transport to the furore, if you're in another city when you get the ticket.

Where would I be without a glasse? :-)

Drinking from the bottle I suppose.
