Here's the Adventures of Willy Beamish walkthrough, which follows the story in order from start to finish. The Adventures of Willy Beamish is a 1991 comedy point-and-click adventure from Dynamix [\[1\]](https://www.walkthroughking.com/text/adventuresofwillybeamish.aspx?ref=idleweekend.net). You play Willy, who must save his town from an evil threat [\[1\]](https://www.walkthroughking.com/text/adventuresofwillybeamish.aspx?ref=idleweekend.net).

The game has an in-game timer that keeps you on your toes throughout [\[1\]](https://www.walkthroughking.com/text/adventuresofwillybeamish.aspx?ref=idleweekend.net). That pressure makes it easy to lose track of where you are, so knowing your next step saves time.

This walkthrough covers the early route through school and home, the puzzles that stop players most often, and what to do when you get stuck. Spoilers are marked, so you can stop before a reveal you would rather find yourself.

## Where do you start, and what happens first?

The early route begins in East Frumpton, where you get on the ferry. From there, the walkthrough moves you to the union building and then through a short run of actions. Keep to this order, because each step sets up the next one.

### The opening route

1. Go to East Frumpton and get on the ferry. [\[2\]](https://sierrahelp.com/Walkthroughs/WillyBeamishWalkthrough.html?ref=idleweekend.net)
2. Go to the union building. [\[2\]](https://sierrahelp.com/Walkthroughs/WillyBeamishWalkthrough.html?ref=idleweekend.net)
3. Open the window left of the door. [\[2\]](https://sierrahelp.com/Walkthroughs/WillyBeamishWalkthrough.html?ref=idleweekend.net)
4. Click on the desk. [\[2\]](https://sierrahelp.com/Walkthroughs/WillyBeamishWalkthrough.html?ref=idleweekend.net)

The window comes before the desk, so do not skip ahead. Clicking the desk is the last move in this stretch, and it carries the sequence forward.

### Working through the union building

When you arrive at the union building, look for the window on the left side of the door before you click anything else. Clicking the wrong object wastes time and can leave you guessing about what to do next.

Once the window is open, turn your attention to the desk. The route treats the two actions as one scene, so you can finish both before you look for anything new.

### Why the order matters

This route is written as a chain, with each action depending on the one before it. If you reach a point where nothing seems to happen, go back to the previous step and try it again rather than trying items at random.

Think of these four moves as one opening scene. You arrive by ferry, walk to the union building, open the window, and finish at the desk. When that scene is done, you have completed the early route and can continue with the next part of the walkthrough.

## Which puzzles stop players most often?

The kitchen puzzle with the cook is a three-step sequence, and the steps have to run in order. Throw the cup, sneak up behind the cook, then pour the sauce pan between the pot and the cook. [\[3\]](https://www.sierrachest.com/index.php?a=games&id=337&title=willy-beamish&fld=walkthrough&pid=100&ref=idleweekend.net)

### The three steps in order

Start by throwing the cup at the cook. This first action opens the sequence, so do it before anything else in the kitchen.

Next, sneak up behind the cook while his attention is elsewhere. Wait until he is turned away from you, then move in close behind him. Rushing this step is the easiest way to lose the setup from the first action.

Finally, grab the sauce pan and pour it between the pot and the cook. Picture the layout before you act: the pot on one side, the cook on the other, and the gap between them. Pour only once the pan is in your hand, and aim the pour at that gap. [\[3\]](https://www.sierrachest.com/index.php?a=games&id=337&title=willy-beamish&fld=walkthrough&pid=100&ref=idleweekend.net)

```
1. Throw the cup at the cook.
2. Sneak up behind the cook.
3. Grab the sauce pan and pour it between the pot and the cook.

```

Those three lines are the whole puzzle in the order it runs. [\[3\]](https://www.sierrachest.com/index.php?a=games&id=337&title=willy-beamish&fld=walkthrough&pid=100&ref=idleweekend.net)

### Why the order matters

Each step depends on the one before it. The first action gets the cook's attention, the second puts you close to him, and the third is the action that uses the sauce pan. Doing them out of sequence breaks that chain, so the puzzle will not progress as written.

Keep the list in front of you while you play, whether that is a second window, a notebook, or a sticky note on your desk. Tick off each line as you finish it. That keeps you from guessing at a middle step and trying random items, which wastes time and makes it harder to see which action made the difference.

### A quick way to run it

Go through the sequence once from the top without skipping ahead. Check that the cup has been thrown before you move toward the cook. Then move in behind him, and only after that reach for the sauce pan. Working through the steps in this simple pattern, get his attention, get close, then act, is the most reliable way to finish the kitchen puzzle.

## Does the Sega CD version play differently?

Yes, the Sega CD version uses its own button order, so you need the right code for the version you are playing. The Sega CD sequence is green, purple, red, purple. [\[4\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/segacd/587919-the-adventures-of-willy-beamish/faqs/28803?ref=idleweekend.net)

### The Sega CD code

The Sega CD code is entered as part of a short start-up routine. Follow these steps in order:

1. Open the cover.
2. Turn on the switch.
3. Press the buttons in this order: green, purple, red, purple.

Each step matters, so press the buttons one at a time and in the exact order listed. The sequence is short, but a single wrong press means you start over. [\[4\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/segacd/587919-the-adventures-of-willy-beamish/faqs/28803?ref=idleweekend.net)

### The PC version

The PC version changes the sequence, and it starts with brown. Its order begins brown, purple, green, so the first press is different from the Sega CD code. [\[4\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/segacd/587919-the-adventures-of-willy-beamish/faqs/28803?ref=idleweekend.net)

That difference is the reason to check your version first. If you copy the Sega CD order onto the PC version, you are pressing a sequence the PC game does not use.

### Which version do you own?

Check which version you own before you follow a code, because the two sequences do not match. Start with the version on your disc or in your library, then choose the matching button order.

Once you know the version, use only that order. Keep the second code in your notes for the other platform, so you do not mix them up later.

## What should you do when a puzzle has you stuck?

If you get captured, grab the plunger and use it on the next step. The walkthrough gives this as the way out of a capture [\[2\]](https://sierrahelp.com/Walkthroughs/WillyBeamishWalkthrough.html?ref=idleweekend.net). Grab it as soon as the capture happens, before you wander off to try anything else.

### Compare your step with the walkthrough first

Most stuck moments come from doing something out of order. Before you try random items on a hotspot, find your current scene in the walkthrough and look at the step you are on. That tells you whether you skipped an earlier click.

Keep a short note of what you have already done in the scene. If the walkthrough lists three clicks and you have done only two, the third is likely the missing piece. Trying every item in your inventory on every object wastes time, and it can leave you in a worse spot than when you started. Random clicking can also make it harder to tell which action actually moved the scene forward.

### When the same step fails again

If the same step fails twice, stop guessing and move to the next walkthrough section for that puzzle. Follow it from the start of that scene, because a later step can depend on something you did earlier.

For example, say you have tried the plunger twice and nothing happens. Rather than trying it a third time, read the next section and look for the step that comes before it. That usually shows you what you skipped, and it saves you from repeating the same failed attempt.

### Keep your place

Jot down the scene name and the last step that worked, so you can return to it quickly. A line like "Scene: union building, window open, desk next" is enough. Many players lose progress by reloading an old save without noticing, and a short note keeps you from repeating solved steps.

If you have been stuck on one puzzle for a long stretch, a short break often helps more than another round of clicking. When you come back, work through the steps in order instead of jumping ahead. That is usually the fastest way to get unstuck and back to the story.

## Where can you find a full walkthrough?

**GameFAQs, Walkthrough King and Adventure Gamers each host a full walkthrough for The Adventures of Willy Beamish.** If you want a complete route from start to finish, any of these three sites is a good place to look [\[4\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/segacd/587919-the-adventures-of-willy-beamish/faqs/28803?ref=idleweekend.net)[\[1\]](https://www.walkthroughking.com/text/adventuresofwillybeamish.aspx?ref=idleweekend.net)[\[5\]](https://adventuregamers.com/walkthroughs/the-adventures-of-willy-beamish?ref=idleweekend.net)[\[6\]](https://dynamix.fandom.com/wiki/The%5FAdventures%5Fof%5FWilly%5FBeamish?ref=idleweekend.net).

GameFAQs has a guide and walkthrough for the game, including the Sega CD version's button order and the PC variant that starts with brown [\[4\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/segacd/587919-the-adventures-of-willy-beamish/faqs/28803?ref=idleweekend.net). Walkthrough King splits its guide into Day 1 through Day 4, so you can jump to the day you are on [\[1\]](https://www.walkthroughking.com/text/adventuresofwillybeamish.aspx?ref=idleweekend.net). Adventure Gamers lists its walkthroughs on a single page, which is handy if you want to compare more than one guide [\[5\]](https://adventuregamers.com/walkthroughs/the-adventures-of-willy-beamish?ref=idleweekend.net).

Walkthrough King's page was last updated on 5/5/2003, so look for newer notes on the page before you rely on it [\[1\]](https://www.walkthroughking.com/text/adventuresofwillybeamish.aspx?ref=idleweekend.net).

When you get stuck, pick the step you are stuck on and follow it from the start of that scene. That keeps you from skipping setup actions that the puzzle depends on.
