“Where’s an Egg?” is a flash game produced by Videlectrix, the tongue in cheek name for the software designed by The Brothers Chaps, of Homestar Runner fame. “Where’s an Egg?” is an investigative mystery game, requiring quick thinking, sharp memory, and powerful logical and deductive skills. It’s a race against time in order to prevent the catastrophic results of not knowing where an egg is. The normal strategy for success is to discern which suspect is lying amongst a diverse cast of shady characters by carefully selecting specific questions and analyzing the responses. There are a number of methods which can be utilized to deduce this information, some faster than others. One recommendation is to quickly visit every location in order to correlate the location of items and people. This allows you to have a full set of information when attempting to assess suspect responses for truthfulness. However, using this strategy wastes significant time. A faster strategy is to validate suspects’ responses against each other using incomplete information. While this can potentially yield a faster accusation, it is also more error-prone… and the game only allows three false accusations before ending in a game over. Buuuut… this is a speedrun, so all of that strategy goes out the window. The absolutely fastest way to beat this game is the “blind accusation” strategy. The blind accusation involves entering the location of the first suspect and shooting them in the face. While this is more often than not simply a homicide, occasionally justice prevails as the first suspect was randomly generated with the egg. Special thanks to mootcycle for suggesting this one as a speedgame. поздравление! |
