Prologue introduction

11:00 · Theater
In brief: Read the complaint and Drama schedule, find the Polaroid Camera, then speak with Mr. Stageworth during the 11:00 activity window.
Start from the office computer and review the complaint before advancing time toward 11:00.
Find the Polaroid Camera in the shared hidden-room route. Muscle Cream is recorded in the same room as an optional provision.
Speak with Mr. Stageworth while the class is active. The camera placement and the rest of the investigation then play as one scripted sequence.
Theater investigation
In brief: Speak with Stageworth after finding the camera; the camera placement, outside conversation, pickup, inspection, and confession happen as one scripted event.
Once you have the Polaroid Camera, speak with Mr. Stageworth while the Theater class is active.
The scripted sequence coordinates the camera placement, outside conversation, return inside, camera inspection, and Riley’s confession.
The sequence then returns to the office for Riley’s minigame. The exact moment when the students clear the hidden-room passage remains a build-verification item.
