Dude, Where's my Beer is a challenging old-school point and click adventure. It is quite linear, so if you get stuck on a puzzle, there is a chance that it is not a puzzle you are supposed to solve yet. There are a lot of items and locations that are not available until you hit a specific place in the story. To make matters worse, there are a number of red herring items and locations that serve no purpose.

The game includes a drunkenness mechanic. In most bars, you are able to buy drinks, which can increase your level of inebriation. Leaving the bar in most cases will decrease your level of inebriation. Some puzzles require being sober, and some require being tipsy. In addition, you can only talk to most people while you have some booze in your system.

This guide will help you get through the game with all achievements. Multiple playthroughs will likely be required:

• You will have to complete a playthrough with no hints to earn the TRUE GAMER achievement,
  
• You will have to complete a playthrough and see every hint for CAT PERSON
  
• You will have to complete a speedrun playthrough for TIME IS ALMOST MONEY (complete game in under one hour) and TIME IS MONEY (complete game in under 35 minutes). Due to a bug, these two may pop for some people upon completing the game even if the requirements are not fulfilled.
  
• There's also a few cumulative achievements to work towards as you play the game: Drink 30 beers total for ISN'T IT ENOUGH, become fully sober 10 times for HANGOVER HERO, and take 10,000 steps for 500 CALORIES BURNED.

If you have any suggestions for improvements, leave a comment below and I will add it to the guide with credit.

Enter the underground pub and pick up the KEYS. Also, make sure to PULL a dart from the dart board.

Have a look around, taking care to examine each of the quotes hanging above the staircase.

Talk to the bartender here and order a beer. We will get a little drunk and receive the MY FIRST BEER achievement; we are introduced to the drunkenness mechanic. Talk to this this guy again and he will give you a BEER to carry around.

Next, talk to the janitor and listen to what he has to say. Try to enter the bathroom, but we can't get in. Give the ViewMaster to the janitor and use the keys twice on the bathroom door.

Once inside the bathroom, pick up the GLOVE, the MOP, and the DUCT TAPE. We can't do anything with the router yet, and we won't be needing any condoms. LOOK inside the toilet to see a wallet. The glove doesn't fit. Drink your spare beer to reach "tipsy" level, and you are sufficiently loaded to reach in and pull the WALLET out, bare-handed.

Note that flushing the toilet here cuts off the lights. Flush the toilet 10 times for ENVIRONMENTAL OFFENDER (Thanks to steam user Aquatorrent from the discussion forums)

Head back outside and talk to the bus driver. Note that he has pens, but you can't get one yet.

Head outside and up the escalator. Use your money on the press vending machine here for a NEWSPAPER. Open the paper for a RUBBER BAND.

Head inside the Mistress bar. Note the quiz king's very dark beer. Also, check out some more decorations on the wall. For reading all of the quotes here and in the bar downstairs, receive WALL READER.

You can speak to the bartender here to discover they also do not sell pilsner. She can give you a beer that helps refill your drunk meter, if you need it. We cannot enter the kitchen. Talk to the woman on the far right with a tree sweater. She wants a pen. Head back downstairs and get a PEN from the bus driver. Return here and give it to her.

Head right and enter the Kniven bar. No pilsners here either, but the bartender can also help you refill your drunk meter, if you need it.

Head back outside and keep heading right. Note the sweaty mascot. Take a BANANA from the food stall and then head inside the sports bar. Order a pilsner, but no luck here, either.

Examine the fountain behind the food truck for FREE WALKING TOUR (Thanks, Aquatorrent).

Keep heading right and enter the dive bar. Grab the TANDOORI POT on the stool. No pilsners here, but another vendor who will give you beers to refill drunkenness. The cat here will also dispense hints if you talk to it on lower difficulties.

Open the door next to the dive bar a few times for PERV!

Outside of the dive bar, rummage through the garbage can near the homeless man for a PAPER BAG, APPLE CORE, FISH BONE, a BURRITO, and TRASH HUNTER. Also, get yourself to a tipsy state, and talk to the woman here for a BOTTLE OF WINE. (She speaks french otherwise). If this woman isn't here yet, come back in a little while (Thanks to Steam user Anarky for the tip).

Let's go further here. OPEN the wine for a CORK. OPEN the bag for a RECEIPT and a PAPER CLIP. OPEN the paper clip for an OPEN PAPER CLIP. OPEN the burrito for some TINFOIL.

After hitting all the bars upstairs, head back to the bus and there is a crying baby. The driver agrees to give us a beer if we are able to get the baby to quiet down. Note the bottle in the soggy garbage here. We can't pick it up yet.

Wander around until you are fully sober, and then head upstairs to the fountain. Use the cork from the wine in the crack, and then QUICKLY use the duct tape on top of it to stop the leak.

Head back downstairs, get tipsy again, and collect the BABY BOTTLE from the trash. Oh no, it's broken. Also collect the BELL - that's broken too! OPEN the baby bottle to separate the nipple.

If you go back upstairs, you will see we have access to a new location, a cafe near the queue of people. Head in here. The milk on the counter is a red herring, we cannot get it yet. Take the CLOCK SIGN and a CLEAN GLASS. Leave here and head back to the homeless man near the dive bar.

Combine the BELL with the RUBBER BAND. Then combine the RUBBER BAND BELL with the CLOCK SIGN to make an alarm clock. Use the ALARM CLOCK on the homeless man near the dive bar to wake him up. He is paranoid. Give him your TINFOIL. He rewards you with a clean bottle. Stop by the fountain and fill this bottle with some water.

Next, head back to the mistress bar where there is a pub quiz. The chef is now outside the kitchen. Talk to the chef and offer your help to answer the pub question. Read your NEWSPAPER multiple times, and eventually you learn the answer to the pub question. The winner of the Brewer Contest 4 is: Armenian Dry-Hopped Lavash Trappist Apricot IPA. Provide the chef with the answer for access to the kitchen.

Inside the kitchen, the MILK here is also a red herring. take the MEASURING CUP from under the microwave and use it to get some WHITE POWDER from the floor. That's all for this location.

You need to mix the white powder and the water in the bottle, but our hero refuses to do it if someone might see. Head downstairs and enter the pub by the bus. Head all the way into the bathroom. Flush the toilet to turn out the lights. Mix the water and the white powder in the dark. Combine the full bottle with the bottle cap. Head outside and give it to the baby.

Return to the bus driver and... he's gone.

Head back upstairs, we have a new location. The line is gone, and we can get to the crypt club.

NOTE: You can also grab the milk from the cafe now, and give it to the cat in the dive bar for VEGAN WHISKERS.

Enter the club, and talk to the bartender here. He clues us into a secret network of bartenders.

Leave, and enter the sports bar. Try to use the bartender's phone. Talk to the bartender and go through the dialogue options. Eventually, you will be able to order a Guinness. While he is pouring it, snatch the remote control. Change the channel. (SOCIAL DISTURBER)

Use the bartender's phone. Oh no, a password lock. We need the code.

Leave the bar and reenter. Ask the bartender for his password. He says it is the year of Brewball finals. Talk to him about brewball but he cuts himself off before saying the year. So does the man in the red shirt by the pinball machine. After exhausting all other avenues, talk to the dude in the floral shirt in the lower left hand corner, he gives us a year, 1900. Use the remote on the TV again and enter code 1900 on the phone. This code is no good!

Leave and reenter the pub. If you confront floral shirt dude, he is sure he is correct. We need an expert. That mascot outside might be helpful. Order a Guinness.

For some reason, just GIVING the Guinness to the mascot is not refreshing enough. Use the CLEAN GLASS you got from the cafe with the cooler in front of the food truck. Use the ice cold glass with the beer. Finally, use the banana with the cold beer. Give this to the mascot. He tells you the code to the phone is the birth year of the founder of Guinness. I believe you are meant to look this one up online. The correct code is: 1725. HISTORY BUFF

There are some extra glasses in the cafe. If you make two more smoothies for the mascot, you will get GOOD SAMARITAN (Thanks to user BE45T for the info!)

Locate the secret group on the phone. Now we need to find hoppy_sapiens.

Fortunately, we have seen that name somewhere before: the receipt in our pocket. Give the receipt to the food cart vendor. We learn the name of the man we need to find.

This is another instance where the game world has changed with no real indication to the player. Head back to the underground pub near the bus.

NOTE: use the remote control on the TV here a few times for the racy achievement HELLO.

Speak to the hipster with the laptop who is now here. He need a charge.

Open the remote control for BATTERIES. Combine the batteries, tape, and charger. Return the charger. Talk to him a bunch. He cannot help us.

Return to the bathroom here and unplug the router. This gets rid of the hipster, and we can look at the phone book. The phone book points us to the dive bar.

Back at the dive bar (the one with the cat), LOOK at the new plaque which is now installed. Talk to the bartender and hold his feet to the fire. He has a pilsner! We still have a ways to go before we get it. First, we have to help him patch up a conflict with his wife.

USE your soggy wallet from the toilet on his wallet to swap them out. OPEN his wallet to get his CREDIT CARD. Also, take the GLUE here.

Who have we seen with a dress and high heels? His wife happens to be the woman downstairs with the baby. Pay her a visit. She wants expensive things. Giving her the CREDIT CARD smooths things over!

Ignoring the baby, head back up to the dive bar. One last big puzzle here, to find the hidden beer. Grab the LANTERN he gives you.

Head outside. Combine the GLOVE with the MOP. (Note, there is an achievement HEAVY PETTING ZOO for trying to get the lightbulb with glove and mop only, so grab that before you add the glue). Add the GLUE. Use your new telescoping sticky hand on the tiny street light above the homeless man. you get a LIGHT BULB.

Head back to the mistress pub and dunk your new light bulb in the pub king's dark beer for a BLACKLIGHT. You may need to talk to him first, if you have not done so already.

Back down the escalator to the bakery. Pick the lock with the straightened paperclip, and in we go.
Open the door at the back and slide the brick with your foot to keep it open.

Head through the door for a familiar view. Turn off the lights and use the blacklight. I hope you grabbed a DART from the board back at the beginning of the game. Pry the visible spot with your dart. Exit left to see the game's thrilling conclusion. Congrats on making it through, this one was a toughie!

For the Cat Person achievement, start a new game and set your difficulty to easy in the settings.

You will mostly be following the guide above, but we will go in a slightly different order for some things. At certain points in the story, you will need to go speak to the cat in the dive bar to receive a hint. There are sixteen hints.

First, follow section one of the guide, but DO NOT pick up the soggy wallet from the toilet.


Get hint #1 after learning the woman needs a pen, but before getting the pen.
