SPOILER AHEAD! Important details about the plot or story are up ahead |
The game starts with a cutscene of Gumball waking up outside the school, where he finds a photo of Darwin tied up in the gym. He notices Daisy behind Darwin, and comes to the conclusion that Anais must have kidnapped him. Determined to save him he rushes into the school.
Once the intro cutscene ends, follow the games arrows to find out the gym is being guarded by Mowdown. Continuing right, Penny can be found asking for a drink. Grab a coin from the payphone next to her and then head right to buy a drink from the vending machine. Upon returning and handing the drink to her she will drink it and move out of the way of the door to Miss Simian's classroom, allowing you to enter.
Inside Tobias can be found without his headband, which he asks you to find for him. Grab the selfie stick from the backpack sat in front of the desk, then leave the room. Outside a trash can can be found with a suspicious odor emanating from within. Investigating it will drop a chewed piece of gum, which you can attach to the selfie stick. Heading right you can now reach Tobias' headband, which is sat in a vent. Upon giving it to him he will drop the lockpick for you, the most important tool in game.
Heading right you can now unlock the door to the art classroom, where Bobert can be found malfunctioning. He needs a new CPU to repair him. Leaving the classroom and heading left you can find a locked locker, which you can use the lockpick to open. Inside will be a chalk eraser. Return to the classroom and clean the whiteboard to get the code "302" which can be used to unlock the locker directly outside the room,. Inside will be the CPU to repair Bobert. Upon repairing him he will leave, dropping a screwdriver for you.
Leave the classroom and head left until you reach the stairs. Use the screwdriver to open the electrical panel, then the lockpick to activate the upstairs lights. You can now go up to the second floor of the school. Heading to the very right you can find Alan in the way of a note you need. In order to get rid of him, you'll need a blow dart gun to pop him. The blow dart gun is in the currently locked library, and you need a code to unlock the lock. Head left until you find the second set of stairs and climb up to the roof. Then head right and jump into the vent, where you'll fall into the locked Nurse's office, in which Penny is trapped. Use the lockpick on the door to free both her and yourself.
Now that Penny is free, head to the far right where she'll be stood by her painting. She needs your help to finish it, and for that you'll need a paintbrush. Use the lockpick on the locker by the second set of stairs to obtain the paintbrush, and then return to Penny to see what color she needs. She'll ask for red, then blue and then finally green. Head to each paint tin and dip your brush into them, then return and fill in the corresponding part of the painting. Red and blue are in the art classroom, whilst green is in Miss Simian's.
Once the painting is complete you'll find that each color has a corresponding value. Red is 4, Blue is 5 and Green is 3. Head right to the locked library doors, and enter the code 453 to unlock the door. Inside is the blow dart gun you need, but also Tobias who won't let you get it. Head right and grab the fire extinguisher, then head up to the roof and use it on the fans to scare him into leaving. Now that he's gone you can return and grab the blow dart gun from the trash can next to computer. Take note of the code "556" on the librarian's desk on the way out.
Head back outside and use the blow dart to pop Alan. Pick up and reassemble the note to get a picture of Darwin in jail, and the PC password "gvmb@lD1d!t". You can't actually use the PC yet, however, as the screen is broken, Head back into the library and grab the hammer from the backpack next to the librarian's desk, then head downstairs to the art classroom, Smash the TV to get the new screen and then return to the library to fix and use the computer. This will reveal that Mowdown will leave if the school bell rings.
Leave and head up to the roof to grab the broom handle, and then go into the Nurse's office. Use the earlier code of "556" to unlock the Nurse's cupboard and get a glove, which Gumball will combine with the broom handle. Head downstairs to Mowdown and lockpick the bell system next to him, then use the hand on a stick to activate the bell.
Finally, unlock the gym doors by using the colors from earlier to work out the new code of "345". Once the chains and locks fall off the doors enter the gym to finish the game.
Inside, Gumball finds not only Darwin, but also Anais tied up. It is then revealed that Gumball himself set all of this up by paying Mowdown to guard the gym, damaging Bobert, kidnapping and tying up Darwin and Anais, and taking a photo of them before going outside and knocking himself out with a baseball bat to make himself forget about everything. Darwin and Anais, still tied to the chair, furiously chase Gumball out of the gym as your final time is shown.

Goofs/errors[]
- In earlier versions of the game a game breaking glitch existed with Penny's painting puzzle. If the player went and obtained a color other than the one she asked for she would refuse to accept it, and with no way to get the clean paintbrush back the player would be left with no way to progress. This has since been fixed, as Penny now accepts the brush regardless of what color you bring her.
