“The Pursuit” is the second chapter in Rise of the Golden Idol, and the case summary story puzzles will ask you to bring the events of the entire chapter together. You’ll be able to complete it once you finish the “Going Once!” case.
As with all of our Rise of the Golden Idol case guides, our goal here is to provide a hint-based experience that will lead you to the solution without automatically showing you how to solve it. We’ll start out with small hints for the puzzle, escalate to bigger ones, and eventually just spell out the answer if it’s still not clicking for you. We’ve separated our tiered hints and answers with in-game art, but be wary of scrolling farther than you intend.
Once you’ve finished all four cases in Chapter 2, you’ll need to solve the Corkboard and Story to complete “Chapter 2: The Pursuit,” which asks you to compile information from all three cases together. See our guides for the other Chapter 2 cases — “Garden Retreat,” “Behind Bars,” “Blockbuster Release,” and “Going Once!” — if you need a refresher.
In this Rise of the Golden Idol guide, we’ll walk you through the “Chapter 2: The Pursuit” case summary, including hints and the full solution for the Corkboard and Story.
Chapter 2: The Pursuit Corkboard
The Chapter 2 Corkboard asks you to put names to faces and faces to names.
