Day One:

Outside:
So Nancy pulls up to the farmhouse in her little blue car during a tornado! “Oh my gosh!” Don’t worry, just sit back and watch and then you will be able to get out of the car and roam around. The first thing to do is go into the house but debris is blocking the door. Simply click on each piece of junk and she will automatically toss it aside until she gets to a small tin box with money in it. Click on the box and it will open a letter, read the letter and click away from the letter, it will close and she wants to hold on to it to see whom it belongs to. Click on the box and it will automatically be put in to Nancy’s Bag. Enter the door and go inside.

Inside the farmhouse:
You enter the living room and see an obvious letter taped to the staircase, go to it and click on it to read it. This gives you your first 3 tasks to complete:
1.) There is a stack of papers in the dining room that needs to be filed in the cabinet but you will need to figure out their ordering system.
2.) You will also need to drive to Ma & Pa’s and meet Pa.
3.) Take the tornado quiz on the computer in the cellar. SEE SPOILER: ALL AWARDS (#7)
Click on the letter again to place in Nancy’s Bag.
You can look around for a while if you wish but the game will not progress until these tasks are started.
If you look closely on the coffee table sitting between the books you will find your first “Pa Penny” pick it up and place it into your inventory. Whenever you are looking around and you see a glimmer, they are pa pennies, click on the glimmer and you will start your collection. These pennies will prove very useful in the game you will want to collect as many as possible, so keep your eye out. SPOILER ALERT: ALL LOCATIONS OF PA PENNIES. Going upstairs will send Nancy to bed, you cant go to bed too soon, she will not let you but there will be times throughout the game where Debbie will remind you to “Hit the sack” which lets you know that the game will not progress much further until Nancy goes to sleep and starts a new day.

Task #1 - The first thing we will do is complete the task of the file organizing:
Go into the dining room where the kitchen table is, on the back wall, under the right window is a filing cabinet and garbage bin, move towards it and click on it until you open the drawer. To the right of the screen you will see 6 tabs with symbols on it. On the front is a note from Debbie explaining what needs to be done and some hints where each of the tabs go. Click her for the solution to the puzzle: SPOILER: FILE ORGANIZING – PUZZLE #1
Once the tabs are in place, the folders that are sitting on the top of the filing cabinet need to be filed according to the symbol appearing on the bottom corner. Select and Place each of them in the proper file and Puzzle #1 will be completed. Under the files is a candy wrapper, it is garbage, you will need to throw it away in the blue garbage can next to the filing cabinet, and after you throw it away you can see something wadded up in the trash. Grab it and you can see it is a receipt for a corn bag from Ma & Pa’s…hmmmm interesting. Yikes! There's a mouse! It just ran by that…corn pile.

Now lets go meet Pa!

The next thing is you will need to drive to Ma & Pa’s General Store. To do that you will need to exit the house and go to your left. You will see the blue car Nancy drove up in. Click on the car until your car starts and takes you to a street. The letter from Debbie said that your car is equipped with a GPS you will see it on the bottom left of your screen once you are in the driving mode (it is in the place where your cell phone was) it is very convenient to get directions on where you need to go. If you click on the GPS it will pull up a map. It asks you to enter you location and to enter your destination. You are currently at the Farmhouse, and you want to go to Ma & Pa’s click them accordingly and click enter. It will give you the directions (and YES you will have to drive the car to get there) There are a lot of CRAZY drivers out there so make sure you drive on your side of the road and use caution at intersections. If you crash too many times you will lose the game. Once you pull into a destination the damage indicator resets – so no worries (On a positive note, you can always use a 2nd chance from the save menu, so really you don’t lose your non-saved game up to that point) Look at the map and try to remember the directions (you can always click in the GPS anytime to verify where your current location is - the blinking bulls eye-) and begin driving by clicking the mouse in the direction you want to go and hold down the left mouse button.

Go in and meet Pa. You will need to choose your response to discussions in the text box after their response. SEE SPOILER: ALL AWARDS (#5)

Read the newspaper and the magazine to the left of Pa’s Counter below the box with the “?” on it. SEE SPOILER: ALL AWARDS (#1 & #4)

Go into Museum portion of the store, you can look around if you want. You should read as much information as you can on tornadoes as you will need to go back to the farmhouse and take the quiz on tornadoes so study up!!! Read information on each display. Look at the Jackalope display, it looks like it wont take Pa Pennies so you will need some other type of coin to run it. SEE SPOILER: ALL AWARDS (#1 & #4). Check the Homesteader’s display, Nancy’s notices that the divining rod is missing. Go back to Pa and talk to him about that.

In order to get more Pa Pennies you can play the Land Rush Video Game in the Museum. It costs 5 Pa Pennies to play but the return is better on this game then trying to get them sporadically, especially if you win. SEE SPOILER: ALL AWARDS (#6).

How to Play Land Rush – this game is relatively simple with a small amount of strategy. Read the instructions beside the coin slot. There are 4 levels you can play, the higher the level, the more Pa Pennies you will get if you win. Follow instructions, a few times practicing you should be able to make some extra Pa Pennies in no time. Pretty self-explanatory right? I guess if you need help with these shoot me an email and I would be glad to help. :)

Now let’s go back to the farm house – Time to take the Tornado Quiz

Task #2 - Drive back to the farmhouse, go in the house and head to the cellar (the gray door). Once downstairs you will see a laptop sitting on the dryer approach the laptop and click on Twister Trivia. SEE SPOILER: ALL AWARDS (#7). Select the appropriate answer to each question, remember that the note Debbie left said that they don’t care how you score. SPOILER: TWISTER TRIVIA – PUZZLE #2
Once you have answered the trivia questions and exited from the laptop, Debbie calls down and asks you to meet Scott. Talk with Scott in his office. He gives you 2 tasks:

Task #3 - Go to Ma & Pa’s and pick up supplies for a sample disaster kit.

Task # 4 - Re-design the warning siren layout for the local community.

You can talk to him again about the school selling the farm. When finished talking with him zoom in to the shelving units and see a newspaper article. Read it. You can ask Pa about that later. Talk to Scott one more time, about his interview after Ma died. Go next and talk to Debbie she adds one more task.

Task # 5 - Fix the sprinkler system

This would be a good time to go outside and call P.G. Krolmeister
You can also go down to the cellar and meet Frosty – the media guy SEE SPOILER: ALL AWARDS (#12)

Now we can move on to your new tasks

Disaster Kit – you can find out what goes in the Disaster Kit by looking at the computer in the cellar under “Twister Trivia” “Emergency Planning” “Disaster Kit” It tells you that “a disaster kit contains essential supplies in case of emergency for every member of your family, including pets. Items from basic staples to household tools to first aid kits should be included, items such as WATER, SUGAR, SALT, GRANOLA BARS, BATTERIES, FLASHLIGHT, CAN OPENER, TOOTHPASTE, DUCT TAPE AND BLEACH.” Now let’s head toward the car.
On your way out you can go and meet Chase out in the garage if you want.
You will find that by trying to get in the side door is unsuccessful, so you will need to go in through the big garage doors. As you enter, Chase asks you to give him a hand. He wants you to help him fix the LED Display in the car so I guess that is Task #6, although we can do it now.

Task #6 - Fix the LED Display SPOILER: LED DISPLAY – PUZZLE #6
After the LED Display is fixed, talk to Chase. Ask him if there is a way you could earn Pa Pennies, and he will give you a project you can work on his Weather Balloon Circuit Boards to get more pennies. I have played for hours on the circuit boards and once you get to level 4 you cannot finish them so this is a good way to earn and unlimited amount of Pa Pennies, but it is not a project you can finish. While talking to Chase about the accidents that have been happening he talks about the radiator hose that got chewed up by mice, you will need to go “take a gander at it” when you are done with the conversation. It is over to the left of his workbench with the circuit boards. Why don’t you go try it, try to get up to level 4, it’ll earn yourself some much needed Pa Pennies while your at it. I have not included a tutorial or cheat for the circuit boards since you can’t lose, worse case is you don’t earn anything. There is a note with instructions on his workbench though, pretty self-explanatory right? I guess if you need help with these shoot me an email and I would be glad to help. :)

Before you go to the circuit boards, look in his standing red toolbox and find a newspaper clipping on “A Modern Day Land Rush”, then move on to the radiator hose and circuit boards.

Now lets go to Ma & Pa’s Store to get the needed supplies for the Disaster Kit. SPOILER: DISASTER KIT – PUZZLE #3
Drive to Ma & Pa’s if you remember how to get there you can drive there without the use of the GPS, if you don’t remember you can open the GPS and navigate there.
Go on in and talk to Pa. Now you start out with a budget of $32.50 you will need to take advantage of the sale prices and combine any discounts in order to stay within your price range. Once you get all the supplies and stay within your budget, talk to Pa. You pay for the supplies with store credit and he gives you a grocery bag. Pick it up and it will automatically go into your inventory.
All done here, lets go back to the Farmhouse and re-stock the disaster kit. Once at the farmhouse, go down to the cellar, click on the emergency disaster kit bag and open your inventory. Select the grocery bag and click the disaster kit and it will automatically re-stock. “That oughta do it!” Frosty reminds you to check in with Debbie, she might need you to do something else. You can check in with her but she doesn’t tell you anything to do at this time.

Now it is time to get to task #4 - Re-design the warning siren layout for the local community. The way to solve this puzzle is to arrange all of the circles by clicking on the center tack of each circle and placing them on the existing tacks on the map so that no part of the boxed in portion of the map has any open spaces. (The circles can overlap.) SPOILER: COUNTY SIREN CHART – PUZZLE #4. Once that is done now it is time to get to task #5.

Task #5 - Fix the sprinkler system – The sprinklers are out the front door and to the right, past the tire swing and to the left of the gopher holes. It is the silver box that is on the ground. Go to it and open it up. You will see instructions to the right of the valves. You will need to open 8 of the white valves, by clicking on them to show the blue active status. Opened valves cannot be in the same row, column, or diagonal line. The system will come back online when valves are opened correctly. SPOILER: SPRINKLER SYSTEM – PUZZLE #5

Go back into the house and try to go into Scott’s Room, Debbie will tell you to go to bed. Turn around and go up the stairs and you will automatically wake up on day 2.

YOU HAVE JUST COMPLETED DAY 1!!! Great job!
