By talking it out of the clown at the Clown Campsite (requires Hornswogglin' 2)

Entrance

Outside the Tents

Here you can find a balloon vendor at either end of the grounds, 3 skill-testing stalls, 3 consumable vendors, a sad kid (who lost his lucky cap), the entrance to the sideshow, and the entrance to the main tent.

Entering the main tent requires you win one of the skill-tests.

Balloon Vendor

  • A balloon can be purchased from the clown at either end of the grounds (if you do not have a balloon already).

Hot Food/Lost & Found

Cold Drinks

Cotton Candy

  • Sells surprisingly expensive cotton candy, at 300 Meat.
  • Purchasing a second one gives the option to also steal his slide whistle.
    • You can trade it back to him for a free cotton candy.
    • Alternatively, if you have not drained the List & Found of all items, you can place the whistle there, tell the Cotton Candy vendor that his whistle is in the List & Found, and thus learn the awful truth.

Sad Kid

  • He has lost his lucky cap, which you can offer to find for him.
  • After returning the lucky cap, the kid will offer to trade it for your balloon if you have one. He disappears after this transaction.

Sideshows

  • Entrance to the sideshows requires purchasing a ticket for 300 Meat

Mirrors

  • The leftmost mirror shows you as a clown; looking at it 3 times results in you showing no reflection.
  • Looking in the middle mirror twice makes you Sore (which is not good!)

Clown Eggs

  • From an initial inspection you can tell that the balloon-selling clown outside is actually one person. (To which he will now confess if you subsequently ask him about it.)
  • By distracting the clown (asking him whether the eyeball guy can blink) you can have a closer inspection, and note that the eggs are too large, and have been reassembled. If you also blanked the first mirror, you can further note that there is an egg matching your own, previously-reflected clown visage.

Pickled Punks

  • Initial inspection of the jars shocks you as a clown-painted grub-like creature in one of the jars lunges out. This is explained as a mere mechanical trick by the clown.
  • A second inspection reveals that there is no actual mechanism.

Freaks

  • Here you observe 3 people, none of whom seems to be there entirely willingly:
    • A person with an eyeball for a head (suspiciously chained down)
    • Douglas, a double-sided guy
    • Janet, a woman with a mechanical torso.

Main Stage

  • At the end of your semi-willing participation in the knife-throwing, he hands you a coupon for a year's supply of dynamite.
  • Once the show is over you can go backstage to the trailer which is Barnaby Bob's Office.
    • Knock politely, understand that he is here for the cows not out to kill people, and he needs you to gather information. This unlocks Danny's Tannery.

Notes

  • Doing the sideshows first is recommended as you might not come back from the main tent.
