A fancy auction is the fourth location you’ll visit during the second chapter ofThe Rise of the Golden Idol. Here, we see some familiar faces and, if you’ve played the previous game, spot some familiar objects and names. This is where the overarching plot of the game starts to come together.

Naturally, there’s also a specific mystery to solve, and this one has you working out a series of events over two time periods, something you may have dealt with before. From cocktails to a famous celebrity, we have a lot to work out in this complex case.
