The Quarry Guide: How to Find All Clues

There are 40 Clues to be found when exploring the many acres of Hackett’s Quarry Summer Camp in The Quarry. These clues provide insight into the Freakshow Fire and the history of both the Summer Camp and the Hackett family. This The Quarry Guide: How to Find All Clues details the exact locations where all 40 clues can be found in-game.

All Clue Locations in The Quarry

There is no perfect run where all Tarot Cards and Clues can be found. When choosing a path in Chapter 2, Abigail will have the opportunity to miss one of two items: a Tarot Card (The Hanged Man) or a Summer Camp Clue (Ranger Box).

It’s also important to note that Chapter 5 features a very specific sequence of actions that you must perform in order to collect the Freakshow Fire #10 clue. Without performing the QTEs as described below, the final Freakshow Fire clue will not be available to collect.
