Completed achievement guide for The Red Stare! This game should only take a few hours to get to 100%.

These achievements are self-explanatory and can be achieved with little effort in either mission.

Voyeurism
Photograph the same suspect in their apartment 5 times


Grab your camera and take a picture of the same person 5 times in a row.

Dinner Time!
Get yourself some pizza!


There is a pizza menu on the desk. Enter the number, 48826, into the phone and listen to the conversation.

No, you hang up first...
Hang up on your boss too many times


At any point when the boss calls you, hang up the phone. He''ll call back again. Pick up and hang up twice. The achievement will pop when he calls back after this.

That's another Hitchcock movie!
Photograph a bird and fax it


In both missions there will be a lot of birds flying around. Photograph one and fax it.

Late Night Stake-Out
Start or Continue your investigation between 0100 and 0500 hours in the morning


Play either mission between 1 A.M. and 5 A.M. I don't know for certain, but you can probably change the time on your computer and then load up the game.

It's healthy, right? (disclaimer: not really)
Light and Smoke 10 cigarettes at the same time


I found the best way to do this is to stick as many cigarettes as you can to your mouth, then light all of them at once.



I can stop whenever I want!
Take 100 cigarettes out of the cigarette box


This isn't cumulative, and needs to be done in one sitting. Just keep taking cigarettes until the achievement pops.

Endless Calling
Call the DeskFax number twice and listen to his story till the end


The first fax has the number for the DeskFax company. Call the number, 48112, and listen all the way through. Call again, listen to the dialogue (it's long), and the achievement will pop.

It's important to be as fast as you can. As soon as the boss hangs up, carry out the task. Stare at the clock as soon as you finish an assignment.

Assignment 0

• Pick up the phone and leave it on top of the box. It will automatically pick up any calls.
  
• Finish the tutorial.
  
• Take a picture of the man stealing the briefcase and the crime scene and fax them.

Assignment 1

• Take a picture of Karla and fax it.

As long as do everything as fast as you can, and stare at clock at every point possible, you'll unlock all four of the achievements.

Sloppy agent
Complete Mission R with the lowest score possible


This achievement was a lot easier than I thought it would be. There are three things you need throughout the mission:

• Pick up and hang up the phone 3 times every time it rings.
  
• Never press the blue button on the Fax machine. (Except for the first time during the tutorial).
  
• Whenever the boss asks you to fax a picture, fax a lot of pictures of pigeons (seriously). Eventually the boss will call and tell you to stop send him sightseeing photos.

As long as you do these three things and follow the guide below, you'll be fine.
Assignment 0

• Follow the tutorial until Norma is pushed out the window. Ignore the man stealing the briefcase, and only photograph Norma's body. Fax it after sending many pigeon photos.

Assignment 1

• Send two photos of residents other than Karla and then lots of pigeon photos. Eventually send a picture of Karla.

Assignment 2

• Completely ignore the meeting in the alley. Send pigeon photos instead.

Assignment 3

• Completely ignore Karla.
  
• Send pigeons.

Assignment 4

• Send pigeons.

Assignment 5

• Take and fax a picture of the briefcase. By now you've probably sent enough pigeons.
  
• I don't know if it made a difference, but at this point I took of my headset and walked away for a half hour.
  
• Fax a picture of Darwin.

Assignment 6

• Fax a picture of anyone other than Elise. (I faxed a picture of Felicia.)
  
• Fax a picture of anyone other than Grace (I faxed a picture of Arnold.)

The mission will shortly end and you should have a score of -9 and a new achievement.

In case you're struggling, you can use this as a reference.

You did it! Congratulations!
