Noah's Missing Toy
Noah lost his toy while playing with it in the backyard. Do you help him find it? Or do you be a mean big brother and just wish him luck?
Prerequisites
Noah's missing toy is a repeatable quest in the game. It will trigger on the first Wednesday of the game, and on every subsequent Wednesdays, there is a 25% chance that it will trigger again.
Walkthrough
To start the quest, find Noah when he is playing in his bedroom or playing in the backyard. Your boy will note that Noah seems upset about something. You may then choose to ask him what's wrong. Noah will then explain that he left his Owlman figure outside while playing and now he can't find it. He then proceeds to look up at you with sad, puppydog eyes.
Here, you can choose whether to agree to help him, or just wish him luck.
- If the latter is chosen, your boy will pat Noah on the head and wish him luck in finding his toy. This obviously causes Noah to be sad, but he thanks you anyway. Choosing this option won't dismiss the quest, as you can still go back and help Noah.
- If the former is chosen, your boy will pat Noah on the head and agree to search for his toy. The quest will then start.
Searching for the toy
To start searching for Noah's toy, head to the backyard where there will be an option to "Search for Noah's Toy". There are 3 places the toy can end up, which is randomised at the start of the quest.
There are 4 options you can choose when searching for the toy.
Investigating the Deck
You think back to your favourite shows about detectives, "Mysteries Included", and try to think like the leader of the team. There are 4 outcomes depending on the location of the toy.
| Toy Location | Description |
|---|---|
| Tree | As you are walking around the deck, looking at small things that probably aren’t clues but could be, you suddenly hear a loud crunch as you step on something! You bend down and see a small pile of nut shells. You follow the trail to the stairs, where you discover small footprints next to what appears to be a line in the grass. Evidence of a robbery! You follow the tracks to the large tree that stands in your backyard, where the thief must have escaped with your little brother’s precious toy. |
| Deck | As you are checking under some of the furniture on the deck, you notice a small hole in the floorboards under a small table. You remember seeing this hole when you moved in, Your Father had promised to fix it but it seemed he decided to just poorly cover it instead. It wasn’t large enough to be a danger, but was just the right size for a toy to fall through! Its pitch black down there, but you reach your arm in to see if you can find anything. The tip of your fingers touches something that you think is plastic, but you can’t reach it from here. |
| Shed | As you are searching around, you realize that the deck was clean. Too clean for a deck used by 3 boys and their father. Something was wrong. You are trying to figure out why it is so clean when it hits you, had been cleaning the house furiously, saying something about an inspection from the H.O.A. That would explain why it was so clean! Your Father wouldn’t have had time to clean it properly though, so he most likely would have just shoved everything out of sight. The question was: "Where?” |
| Fail to find anything (25% chance) | Unfortunately, after 15 minutes of looking at random things and making inquisitive noises, you find nothing of use. You sigh, guess you are not the detective you thought you were. Seems like your only option is to start searching and hoping for the best. |
Depending on the description, you can then deduce where the toy went.
Crawl under the Deck
| Toy Location | Description | Modifier |
|---|---|---|
| Correct Location | You proceed to crawl under the deck and feel around for the toy. Eventually you find something that feels like plastic. Upon pulling it closer, you confirm that it is indeed Noah's toy. | -20 Hygiene |
| Wrong Location | You proceed to crawl under the deck. After a bit of searching, you suddenly feel a large fuzzy creature crawl onto your hand. You scream and accidentally hit your head against the floor of the deck causing a bunch of dust and dirt as well as other smaller bugs to fall on you. Thankfully, you are pulled out from under the deck by your father. Your father, noticing all the black bugs covering you, blasts you with water and scolds you angrily before getting you to strip naked. He continues to blast you with water and scold you until you are completely clean, before letting you go. Unfortunately, your boy will have to walk back to the bedroom naked. | Depends on nudity attitudes.
