    How do you move items between luggage?
    When I have to dump a bag I'm not able to move items of importance into half empty bags.

    Thanks

    Absolutely love this game, what a timekiller ;)

    My four favorite storylines on the longer routes:

    1. Travelling in the Nautilus with Captain Nemo. That one is so great and surprising.
    2. The long Pacific crossing with the two ladies fighting it out over Mr. Fogg's heart. Wonderful humor, and I'll have to replay that one for a few times for sure to see the different...approaches.
    3. The mutiny - not difficult to accomplish but very rewarding.
    4. The murder mystery - haven't solved it yet even though I know the general approach.

    Well, off to playthrough number 9!

    From Rangoon to Batavia (near Singapore) you can go into Brisbane and Auckland

    Did you steal the pencil? Some of the funniest options in the game!

    Brisbane - Lima abord an airship.

    Will try on the next run!

    ---

    Also, I did get all the talk with Inspector Fix about...things...but it seems to have had no influence on the game except him appearing again at the end in the club in London. Not sure if I went wrong somewhere or if that's intended.

    There's an option here which is pretty book accurate as this game goes (I'm looking at you, Aouda) which can play through to an encounter between Fogg & Passepartout in Japan which is alone worth the price of the game.

    Is there a way to travel the world the other way around? Some of the items wouldnt make sense if that wouldnt be the case. I guess the route would start in Snowden, but how could it be unlocked?

    Just managed 49 days. I think I'll take a break from speedrunning and enjoy the sights next time :)

    The price of the flight from NY to London seems to be randomly either 3300 pounds or 6800 and I didn't luck out on this run, which means there might have been a chance to shave off two days of bank time. Oh well?

    Just finished in 54 days, my best result yet — though that could have been improved if I had managed not to get myself detained for four days.

    http://www.inklestudios.com/80days/journeys/?id=daSwWtELWn&playerName=@andrewdupont

    I do think I've found a bug, though: when I was in Moscow, I picked a destination on the Trans-Siberian Express, found that it departed in 4 days, but with my Russian Gentleman's wardrobe set I was able to negotiate that down to 2 days free of charge. And then, when I tapped on a different destination along the same line, I saw the new departure time (2 days hence), but found that I could further negotiate the departure time to tomorrow. Once I realized I could do this, I ended up doing a similar thing in Washington to get to New York faster — I could negotiate further by tapping on the destination again.

    I'm nearly certain this is an unintended behavior, and it means that my 54-day result should have been more like 60.

    Unrelatedly, it took me three tries to solve the Yokohama–Honolulu case, but one thing I can't figure out:
    how did the culprit get access to the murder weapon?

    If you bring up "how did they get the murder weapon" as a point of discussion, it's said that pretty much anyone could have gotten their hands on the key to your room (wow, terrible security).
    I'm assuming that's meant as an explanation, although that part does come off rather vague.

    My new endeavour is to find a way to reach Snowdon, what a pity that it always requires an almost complete round to find out if you get a route there...if it's even possible to reach that place!

    One theory I had, and will test out next
    is when you go by airship from washington to Ponta Delgada, and you can ask them to divert to London despite low fuel, maybe it ends you up in Snowdon for some reason?

    To follow up on that: Nope, doesn't seem to be the way :D no success yet at all. Am also trying to reach Buenos Aires, no luck yet. What a wonderful game, even Sorcery didn't keep my attention as much ;)

    Wow! Just caught up on this thread, and wanted to leave a clue about how to get to Snowdon, for those interested.

    You need to make a friend in Kristiania.

    Thank you!!

    Made it to Snowdon, that was the most magical adventure yet, loved it! It was part of a 46day run, which could have been shorter if I didn't try to woe certain Mongolian princesses along the way ;)

    The game doesn't stop to surprise!

    Next stop: Buenos Aires, somehow.

    All the Continents!

    Hey everyone,

    My most recent objective was to complete the game stopping in all (habitable) continents. I was able to do it in under 60 days!

    The route I took was to get to Egypt, secure rapid and cheap transport to Pakistan via the adventure down the Nile, go through India via the most awesome mode of conveyance inkle devised for the game, head south through Singapore to Brisbane, across to Lima, then up through Port-au-Prince (gotta keep lots of cash in reserve to get there!), through DC and back to Europe.

    Anyone else try this? I e-mailed inkle to suggest they put a special achievement in the game for completing the journey this way!

    Snowden

    Ok so I made a friend in Kristiana, I think, and discovered the alternate mode of transport in snowdon but can someone please give me another link, maybe under spoiler tags, because it's driving me crazy that I can't get there!
