The Million Dollar Great Jewel Heist

About this walkthrough

This is a complete walkthrough for The Million Dollar Great Jewel Heist.

Using this walkthrough will get you through the game with the least amount of time and wandering around, but may spoil the game and fun of exploring.

Items which can be picked up as inventory items and items which can be constructed by combining or using other items are written with bold text for emphasis.

General information

You can move the character by entering directions as NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST or abbreviated as N, E, S, W. Other directions, like northeast work only in abbreviated form, like NE. UP and DOWN work also as U and D.

The parser is simple and limited, it doesn't understand many synonyms for action words, in most cases there is only one correct command.

You can check the score anytime by entering SCORE command.

Note that you can abbreviate some commands, like EXAMINE to EX or X, or INVENTORY to I.
