Kindergarten Guide - Ms. Applegate's Storyline

This is a little guide for the Steam title Kindergarten - it's a great little puzzle/logic/interactive story game, costs only £3.99 and will keep you entertained and scratching your head for hours. Many of the puzzles and characters' storylines require strict timing and succession of events - and I recommend you try your hardest to figure out the puzzles on your own before consulting my guide below.

With that being said, if you're pulling your hair out - here's the guide. Obviously, it contains SPOILERS.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Before school starts:

• Withdraw $9.00 from your piggybank - you will need to get Buggs to steal from you and buy items with what he leaves you with.

Playground:

• As soon as you enter, Buggs will steal money from you - agree to let him have half then report him to Ms. Applegate - who will then fill you in on her plot to expel/kill all of the students she doesn't like.

• Go back to Buggs and start a fight with him. Just before he's about to beat you to death, call for Ms. Applegate's help and he will be sent to the Principal's office.

• Talk to Monty and buy the voice recorder from him for $2.50.

• Now we need to get Cindy in trouble. Talk to her and initially agree to be her boyfriend - when she asks you to prove her love, keep asking why and refusing until the option to insult her comes up. After this, do not apologise to her, instead continue to provoke her until she cries RAPE!

Morning time:

• In the Principal's office, deny you raped Cindy and tell him you recorded the whole incident with your voice recorder. You will be let off the hook and Cindy will get expelled.

• Back in the classroom, talk to Ms. Applegate, who will reveal her plot to get Jerome expelled. However, he won't talk to you until you prove to him that you're cool. Talk to Monty and buy a yo-yo ($1.00).

• Give the yo-yo to Jerome and agree to his plan to retrieve his laser pointer. Instead of doing as he asks, however - speak to Ms. Applegate and show her the stolen hall pass.

• Now you are tasked with befriending Nugget. Simply speak to him and ask if he wants to be friends. He does - but only if you eat a suspicious chicken nugget. Do as he asks and eat it.

Lunch:

• As it turns out, the suspicious chicken nugget was in fact filled with poison. So in order to get the antidote, you must get revenge on Buggs, Nugget's bully. He will give you another poisoned chicken nugget and ask you to feed it to Buggs.

• There are serveral ways in order to convince Buggs to eat the poisoned nugget - you can bribe him with cash or tell him that either Cindy or Jerome would think he was a sissy if he didn't. Saying Monty, Nugget or Lily won't convince him.

• So now we have killed Buggs, Nugget will give you the antidote to his poison. Now we need to get rid of Monty. Speak to him, but don't buy or sell anything - just take note that he insults the Janitor's spelling.

• Go and tell the Janitor what Monty thinks of his spelling and Monty will quickly feel the wrath of Mr. Sweepy. Monty has now been dealt with and the Janitor will give you Monty's glasses.

• Now we have to deal with Lily. After you used your first apple, you may have noticed her sneaking out into the hallway. Speak to the Lunch Lady and ask if you can use the bathroom. In order to for her to let you leave, you can either pay her $2.00, give her the magnifying glass from Lily's cubby (during Morning Time, if you tell Ms. Applegate that Jerome doesn't think you're cool, she allows you to steal items from the cubbies) or the easiest and most straightforward option, you can give her Monty's glasses.

• You will find Lily outside the Principal's office eavesdropping. Knock on his door and tattle on her - and Lily will be swiftly dealt with.

Recess:

• Speak to Ms. Applegate, who will reward you with a gold star for each of the students you have dispatched so far. There is only Nugget left, so speak to him and enter the Nugget Cave.

• Inside the Nugget Cave, take the corpse of Cindy's dog Biscuit. There is also a Monstermon card here, if you have enough spare apples to take it. (You don't often get access to the Nugget Cave, so this is a good opportunity to grab this one.)

• Return to the surface - you now have two choices; you can show the dead dog to Ms. Applegate now or show it during Show & Tell - either option results in Nugget being expelled.
