Chapter 3: Highway Star Diner
The diner’s journal tasks involve a flower, music and a window booth. Help Maddy investigate the bin area to advance. For Hatless, check the bench interaction before the errand.


Diner route reported by player guides
- Find Audrey’s flower by the van, behind the fence, near the telescope. The petals are red.
- Inspect the jukebox and its dialogue. Forever Ago Wiki and 9to5Gaming name Patti Page’s Green Green Grass of Home; Forever Ago Guide instead reports a non-working jukebox. Follow the interaction available in your build rather than assuming a repair item exists.
- Help Maddy with the trash. Cross the fence into the trash area. A dog is there.
- Photograph the dog, as described by the walkthroughs. For Hatless, TrueAchievements user Lurking Lawyer reports napping on the front bench first, then finding the missing hat in the bin area during Maddy’s errand.
- Report back to Maddy, sit in the window booth, and take the photo.
The hat
Epic’s condition links Hatless to losing the hat during a nap. The player route on TrueAchievements continues through the two gates to the bins. Finding it there is reported; a separate later-chapter hat quest or inventory pickup is not established.
Questions
Which song goes on the jukebox?
Forever Ago Wiki and 9to5Gaming name Patti Page’s Green Green Grass of Home. Forever Ago Guide describes the machine as broken. The song and playback interaction remain player-guide claims with a known disagreement.
