[Ally B's Biz Card

A business card picked up from the board in the reception area.

Verification: Human verified

Ally B's Biz Card is one of three business cards you can pick up from the board in the reception area at the very start of the game. It is a normal business card item, and you'll need it — together with the other two cards from the same board — to solve the first escape room's card-box puzzle. Grabbing it early and keeping track of it makes the opening room quick and clean.

Where to Find It

As soon as you gain control of your character in the first escape room, walk across the room to the board and pick up the three business cards: Ally B, Jeb, and Eel [src-cc415a0c9f]. The cards can be picked up in any order, so there's no specific sequence you need to follow to collect Ally B's Biz Card [src-cc415a0c9f]. Once you have all three, back out from the board and head through the restricted door to the right to reach the next puzzle [src-cc415a0c9f].

How to Use It

Inside the room beyond the restricted door, interact with the three boxes on the wall. The boxes are order-sensitive, and the correct arrangement is:

1. First box: Jeb's business card.
2. Second box: Ally B's business card.
3. Third box: the Eel business card.

This placement opens the fish on the wall, revealing the Key of Lies behind it [src-cc415a0c9f]. Pick up the key, back out, and use it on the toilets in the main room to move on to the next area of the puzzle room [src-cc415a0c9f].

The card's flavor text ("Ally B's organic tea — it's the bomb") is visible when you inspect the cards, and the walkthrough confirms the three-card set spells out the Jeb → Ally → Eel order used in the boxes [src-2c17f7b0c2].

Tips

• Don't press X. Pressing X reveals a hint, and using a hint invalidates an A+ rank for the room — so if you're chasing A+ grades, avoid the hint button entirely [src-cc415a0c9f].
• Collect all three cards in one trip. Since order doesn't matter, grab Ally B, Jeb, and Eel together before leaving the board so you don't have to backtrack [src-cc415a0c9f].
• Verify the card by name. When inspecting items, confirm you're holding Ally B's Biz Card specifically before slotting it into the second box — mixing up the three cards will leave the fish closed.

Rewards

Correctly placing all three cards (including Ally B's Biz Card in the second box) reveals the Key of Lies behind the fish on the wall [src-cc415a0c9f]. That key unlocks the toilets in the main room, opening the path deeper into the first escape room and toward the first newspaper collectible near the payphones beyond the out-of-order door [src-cc415a0c9f]. Completing the opening sequence also unlocks the first achievement for finishing the introductions [src-cc415a0c9f].
