Hints
Welcome to the hints section for Grim Fandango, which is written for this site, and is exclusive to this site. This isn't just an ordinary walkthrough or set of hints - it's a lot more in depth than that.
Every major puzzle in the game is listed below, with the option for a small hint, a big hint, and a full solution. The problem with walkthroughs is that people will read through them, and will know the solution straight away, and will zoom through the game without having any fun. With our hint system, if you're stuck, you can have a small hint to help you along, and if that doesn't help, a slightly bigger one, and if you're really stuck on a puzzle, you can just read the solution.
Some puzzles will only make sense when others are completed, so try to only click on the puzzle you are currently on. I can't write hints for absolutely everything either, like "How to walk out of Manny's office", so it's reocmmended that you try everything you can think of, and only resort to a hint when you're really stuck.
At the moment we unfortunately only have the hints for Year 1 completed. The rest will come pretty soon.
Hint:
Your selected hint will be displayed when you choose it from the menu below. If you have selected a hint and it isn't showing, please let us know..
