Key & Compass presents:
Plaque
by Admiral Jota

Plaque is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 6 and is © 2000 by Admiral Jota. It was an entry in the Speed-IF 12 event.

You play as someone who came backstage to make an award plaque for Chuck Schmendiman, noted philanthropist and IF author. However, you fell asleep and the awards ceremony has already started! Better make it quickly!

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.

Thank You to my Patreon supporters

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
