Worst puzzles in adventure history by Entropy Stew 02/19/2014, 10:48am PST
Have we done this yet? I'll start off with Gabriel Knight...the original. Spoilers in the solution section, obviously.

The Setup: You're trying to get the location of a voodoo crime scene. There's a cop in a park, but he tells you to piss off. Radio chatter is tantalizingly close, but cannot be heard fully.

The Solution: In another screen of the park, there is a mime. Everyone hates him. He is a mime; this is his lot in life. If you approach the mime, he starts to follow you. You can lead him along to another screen where the cop is, and the cop will chase after you, giving you access to his radio.

Why This Puzzle is The Worst: You, at a fundamental level, never want to interact with a mime. I was stuck at this point in the game for years.
