1	!!Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent
2	* An early-game puzzle has Nelson needing to solve a puzzle to figure out what room he's in at the hotel when Martha claims that it's written in code. This "code" is literally just the word "NINE" in stencil.
3	** Just before that, Nelson needs to ask Bjorn directions to the hotel. Said directions send him on a wild goose chase before he ends up right back where he started. Turns out he and Bjorn were right in front of the hotel the entire time and Bjorn was just being a smart-ass.
4	* After Nelson barely escapes a sinking ice-fishing shack, he starts to regret his desire for field work.
5	-->'''Nelson:''' I miss my office. It's warm in my office. It's safe in my office. There are ''no'' [[BreadEggsMilkSquick maniacal gnomes or chainsaw-wielding waitresses]] in my office!

7	!!Puzzle Agent 2
8	* In the recap for the first game, when Nelson notes that he's ''[[SarcasmMode starting]]'' to suspect the townspeople are actively working against him, a picture of Glori with her chainsaw is shown.
9	* While trying to talk to Director Jennings about his findings (while Jennings is [[TheNoisyStraw noisily drinking a milkshake]], trying to drown out Tethers' ramblings), Nelson ends up [[SevenMinuteLull blurting out]] "THE ASTRONAUTS IN THE FOREST ARE MURDERING PEOPLE!"
10	* In the scene where Nelson meets Korka for the first time, he finds out that a) she's a lover of puzzles, b) she's very pretty and c) she has lots of board games for two players. So, what does Puzzle Agent Tethers say when he sees it?
11	--> "Marry me."
12	** It gets better: for a while her scenes are so full of innuendo, it looks like she and Nelson are the designated couple. After [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything she invites him into her bedroom to show him something]], we find out that she is a crazy conspiracy nut obsessed with Bigfoot and CIA "Mind Rays". Nelson's initial reaction is this:
13	--->'''Nelson:''' I have to go. (''[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere runs out]]'')
14	* When Nelson and Isaac try to get to the Lunar Ray, Isaac gives us this little easy-to-miss gem:
15	-->[[MurderIsTheBestSolution "Does your gun have a silencer?"]]
16	* The "Cross the Streams" puzzle is a variant on the FoxChickenGrainPuzzle, where you have to transport some animals across a river with a boat that has a weight limit. If left unattended:
17	** The bear will eat the wolf.
18	** The wolf will eat the mongoose.
19	** The mongoose will eat the snake.
20	** The snake will eat the bear (somehow). [[LampshadeHanging Which is exactly how the game phrases it.]]
21	* After meeting the anthropologist, Alfred Versteckt, Nelson is about to record his finding in his cassette. You hear a familiar click ''before'' Nelson presses the button, and assume it might be a glitch, until you hear Versteckt talking into his own cassette, roughly saying what Nelson was about to record.
22	-->'''Nelson:''' What he said.
23	* A smaller moment happens when a freaked-out Nelson barges into Korka's house, screaming at the top of his lungs. After shutting the door and calming himself, the scene pulls out to show Korka's standing right there.
24	-->'''Korka:''' Nelson. I didn't hear you come in.
25	* The final puzzle involves Tethers, fighting off the influence of the lunacy ray, running through the forest [[NakedNutter in his underwear]] in order to throw the device in Lake Svenz. And at the end [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight Bigfoot]] shows up to help Nelson, either to destroy the machine himself (if you fail the puzzle) or to break the ice and send it to the bottom of the lake (if you successfully solved the puzzle).
