The Big Top Showroom Walkthrough

1. Reset the Welcome Show

Use the Security Office receiver, then return through the Main Hall toward the Welcome Show. If you want to collect the film reel before advancing, use 26294 on the red keypad in the nearby main-hall door, open the film cabinet, and store the reel in an Inventory machine.

At the Welcome Show, take the small elevator beside the stage to the upper walkway and use the central terminal. Choose the option that resets the show. When the second half finishes correctly, descend and open the rear doors with the Data Diver. If the objective does not update, return to the receiver before trying the elevator again; the route is gated by the reset state, not by a second door code.

2. Retrieve the Repair Cassette

In the Welcome Lobby, read the Mail log if you are collecting records, then enter the maintenance room beside the broken elevator. Set Mrs Helpful to Repair clearance. She identifies a cassette stored in the balcony emergency compartment.

Return to the lobby, avoid the roaming Mimic, climb the rear stairs, and enter 0158 on the red keypad. Take the cassette back to the maintenance room and insert it into the Repair-Matic.

3. Repair the lobby elevator

Follow this order:

1. Pull the power switch down.
2. Remove the mascot head jammed in the elevator gears.
3. Turn the Repair-Matic crank to raise the elevator.
4. Press the green button to open the lower hatch.
5. Crawl underneath and engage the emergency brake.
6. Adjust all four meter levers until every cork sits inside its blue band.
7. Trace each numbered wire to its matching button and enter the spoken sequence. The wire layout and sequence are randomized.
8. Release the brake, leave the underside, close the hatch, lower the elevator with the crank, and restore power.

4. Restore power to the Big Top

Ride the repaired elevator to the Showroom Lobby and follow the signs upstairs. Pull the lever beside the Big Top showtimes board. Rotate the pipe tiles so molten power can travel from the right nozzle to the left nozzle.

5. Complete the Big Top games

Wind the ticket box, hand the ticket through the curtain, and enter the arena. Complete the Space Gallery, Shooting Gallery, and Ball Toss. A score of at least 25 wins each game.

Every completed game cuts the power. Music Man then becomes hostile while mannequins form a maze. Avoid his cone of light, do not sprint near him unless escaping, and use the corner lockers as reset points. Complete one shooting gallery and one ball-toss round before returning to the wheel; the wheel only opens the upper route after the required game state is complete.

The most reliable loop is:

1. Finish one game.
2. Move between lockers toward the entrance.
3. Pull the showtimes lever outside the arena.
4. Complete the short power puzzle and immediately pull its red flow lever.
5. Return for the next game.

After all three games, spin the Prize Wheel until it awards the grand prize. Take the stairs that open beside the wheel and collect the Grand Prize Trophy on the upper route.

6. Solve the randomized mannequin code

Read the four hat symbols on the board beside the balcony keypad. Look down into the arena and find the mannequins wearing those hats. Read the number on each matching mannequin's back in the board's left-to-right order. Enter that four-number sequence on the keypad.

This answer changes between playthroughs. Do not copy a code from a video or another save.

Use the terminal beyond the door to complete the Creator-clearance Data Diver upgrade. The next main chapter starts at Rooftop Access; continue with the Music Man Chase walkthrough.
