Golden Train Teaser

Golden Train Teaser Pt. 1

After unlocking the 1st Lost Luggage Mystery Box: What's your next thrilling international adventure, Uncle Norbert? Yes, what culturally significant artifact will you be stealing from exploited natives to sell to the highest bidder? "The Golden Train"! Forged in Babylonia five thousand years ago. That's silly. Babylonians didn't have trains. Exactly. So either aliens gave them a choo choo, or someone did a "Back to the Future III". Both plausible!

Golden Train Teaser Pt. 2

After unlocking the 2nd Lost Luggage Mystery Box: Uncle Norbert, you're sending Springfielders to find clues to the whereabouts of the Golden Train. But, shouldn't you be doing that yourself? I mean, you're the swashbuckling adventurer. Ye-es. But I thought someone else might like the fun of getting killed searching for cursed ancient artifacts. That's so nice of you!

Generic Dialogue Intro

After tapping on Norbert's exclamation mark: Upon starting a new day in Norbert's Adventure Tasks, Norbert starts a quick random dialogue: Another day, another transcontinental flight in a seat next to the bathroom. Another day! Arrr! More plundering the world's precious ancient artifacts. We prefer to call it "confrontational antiquing." Fly to enough places, and we'll eventually find the clues we need. Hopefully today's treasures are in countries where they have Krusty Burgers. Let's see what perilous tasks we have available today.

The Mysterious Globe Intro

After starting the 2nd day of Norbert's Adventure Tasks: This Lost Luggage Mystery Box contains something even more valuable than travel-size toothpastes... A hint to the whereabouts of the "Giant Globe of Directions"! A path has been inscribed on that Globe, by a narwhal tusk inlaid with lapis lazuli, that leads to the Golden Train. Here is your clue: walk where the stars in the sky look down at the stars in the ground. Your plane leaves in an hour. Pack light, the overhead bins are super-full.
