Haiku Games is back with a new Adventure Escape game, and this time you’re helping a dog named Nitro. He may look like an ordinary dog, but Nitro’s actually a seasoned private investigator. When a supermodel’s assistant mysteriously disappears, Nitro and his human partner Alex are on the job. With the help of expert witnesses like a goldfish and a squirrel, they’re sure to solve the case. This walkthrough guide should help you if you get stuck on any of the puzzles in Chapter 3 of Canine Cases. Feel free to ask for extra help in the comments section.

Chapter 3:
You can watch my video for Chapter 3 or continue below for my step-by-step guide:
1. We’re in a dark alley outside the Scarlet Petals flower shop that was in the note we found in Emily’s room. The door is locked, so let’s look around and find a way in. First, open the trash can to meet a raccoon. He tells you he heard an argument earlier. After you’re done talking to him, pick up the crate and the broom. Also, tap on the open window to ask him to climb in there. He says he can’t a limb up like that but will go inside if you can haul him up there.
2. Use the broom to clean off the dirty sign, revealing a yellow loaf of bread. Also, stack the crate on top of the other crates and the raccoon will climb up to get the party flags. Pick them up. Now you can also see a blue sign for a candle shop. Also, grab the chewed gum from the trash can.
3. Now look around for five colored signs and also the stained glass window. Count how many of each color you see on the stained glass: 1 purple, 2 red, 3 green, 4 yellow, 5 blue. So go to the locked gate and change the symbols based on the symbols you saw on the colored signs in that order. You end up with Pottery, Flower, Jewelry, Bread, Candle. It should look like the image below.
4. Take the bucket and also open the box to find a toy fishing rod that’s missing a fishing line.
5. Tie the party flags near the open window and attach the bucket. The raccoon will get hauled up and then climb into the window and throw a few things out. Grab the ruler and the yarn.
6. Attach the yarn to the fishing rod and then add the chewing gum. Use the fishing rod with the sewer grate to get a key.
7. Use the key to unlock the flower shop door and then head inside.
8. It’s too dark to see, so we have to get the lights on somehow. Find the fuse box and use the ruler to open it up.
9. Now we have to solve the Fuse Box Puzzle. Move each colored spark onto its matching colored slot. Select a spark and then press a directional arrow to move it. Notice that some wire connections are broken. Move a colored spark onto the High Voltage slot to create electricity bridges across the broken wires. I made a video for you.
10. Now we can see. Find the empty watering can, dirty paintbrush, handle and crowbar. Lift up the rug to reveal a loose plank and pull off the cover to reveal a cash register.
11. Open the cabinet under the snake cage to get the feather duster and valve. Use the crowbar to lift up the loose plank to get a notepad. Attach the handle to the cash register to fix it. Well come back to it when we know what numbers to enter.
12. Place the valve under the sink and then put the empty watering can in the sink to fill it up. Also, use the sink to clean off the dirty paintbrush. Use the feather duster to clean off the dusty painting and take a look at it. It tells us the prices for different flowers.
13. Pour the water from the watering can into the vase on the table to reveal the keyhole on the door.
14. Look at the notepad to see three different sales of flowers. Combine it with the painting of the flower prices to figure out what to enter into the cash register. Go in order of the date that the sales occurred. So January 1st was 3 pansies and 1 daffodil. Then on January 3rd you have 5 lilies and 4 pansies. And last, on January 5th you have 1 mum and 10 roses. So I did the math for you:
3 x $2 = $6
1 x $8 = $8
5 x $4 = $20
4 x $2 = $8
1 x $6 = $6
10 x $3 = $30
Add up each pair from each page and you get: 14, 28, 36. That’s the code for the cash register! Enter 142836 to unlock it and get a key.
15. Use the key to unlock the door. Then go through and downstairs.
16. Find the old book, sticky tape and glow stick. Also, spill the bottle of baby powder on the floor. Move the painting to reveal a safe. Also, look in the vent to find the snake. He asks you to help him get out.
17. Dip the clean paintbrush in the baby powder to get a paintbrush with powder. Then turn off the lights and use the glow stick to find a fingerprint on the mug. The lights will automatically go back on. Use the paintbrush to rub the baby powder on the fingerprint. Then use the tape to lift the print.
18. Use the tape with the fingerprint to unlock the safe and take the screwdriver and wooden flower from inside.
19. Use the screwdriver to open the vent and let the snake out. After he leaves, grab the paper cutout and photo slides.
20. Tap on the flower puzzle and add the wooden flower to it. Then solve the puzzle by rotating all the flowers so that all the connecting petals have matching colors.
21. Take the paint thinner and look at the photo viewer. Place the photo slides down. We need to organize them, but before we work on them, go back upstairs and use the paint thinner on the blacked-out painting. Notice the flowers around Stella’s face.
22. Go back downstairs and look at the photo slides again. Read through the old book and organize the slides using the information from the book together with the painting. The descriptions on each page tell you which photo to select. The flower on each page tells you where that slide should go based on the painting. Make sure to look at each slide first.
23. A secret door opens up! First, look at the locked box and read the note. Notice the symbols on the box. Then look at the bulletin board shrine and read the note there. It sounds like the stalker took a job at Stella’s house!
24. Place the paper cutout down and move it around so that the center around the first symbol shown on the locked box. You can see the number 5 is highlighted by one of the cutouts. Now just do the same for the other five symbols until you have numbers for all six. You end up with 573114.
25. Enter 573114 into the locked box to open it. Then look inside. It turns out the stalker is Timothy, her butler! Our next stop is Scarlet Petals Farm.
And that’s the end of Chapter 3! Click here to continue to Chapter 4 or choose a chapter below.
i am stuck on the slide bit, what are you supposed to do? they match the diary. I have put them in order but no clue what is next
On the desk is some paint stripper, use that on the painting in the other room and it shows you what order to put them in matching up the flowers to the story
You have to refer to the poster (after cleaning it) in the 1st room. The order of the slides should follow the order of the flowers (use the journal to determine which slide goes with what flower).
If you’ve got through to the secret room area, then you should have picked up paint thinner, then use that on the picture with black paint all over it. The flowers are then in order on there. You compare the pictures with the diary then put the slides in the matching places. Bit annoying, but after shuffling it is done 🙂
You need to get the paint thinner and clean the black paint off of the painting. The flowers on the painting are the same as the flowers in the diary and show how the slides should be positioned.
Use the paint thinner from the desk on the painting covered in black paint. This gives a clue to the slide order.
