What we cover:
How to Solve Theatrically Yours in Dispatch
Dispatch forces players to make hard decisions. Sometimes you must choose between characters like Sonar and Coupe. Other times, the game makes you pick between Waterboy and Phenomaman. Theatrically Yours is a bit different. Your main goal here is to answer the prompt asking which movie theater should we search first.
In Episode 4’s first dispatch shift, you get a call about a bomb inside a movie theater. The game gives you three locations to pick from, and you need to choose the right one before your hero can act.
How to Select the “Standing Alive” Theater
The game presents you with three distinct location options. You will see The Y Man, Altered Egos, and Standing Alive on your screen. The bomb is located inside the air conditioning vents of the third option. You must click on Standing Alive to progress to the second phase of the mission.
How to Bypass Requirements with “Punch Up”
You can dispatch any available hero to this crime scene. However, one specific operative makes the entire process effortless. You should assign Punch Up to this mission. When he arrives at the location, the game asks a second question regarding the bomb in the vents. Because you brought Punch Up, a unique dialogue choice unlocks. This option is called Squeeze in there, destroy the bomb. You can click this specific text to complete the mission automatically. He handles the threat without requiring any additional skill checks.
Alternative Skill Tests (If You Don’t Use Punch Up)
You might decide to send a different hero to the scene instead. If you do this, the game will force you to complete a skill check. You must choose one of two distinct options to neutralize the explosive device. Both methods require a level 7 stat check to succeed.
| Action Option | Required Skill | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Crawl through the vents | Mobility test | 7 |
| Activate the AC to freeze the bomb | Intellect test | 7 |
What Happens if You Choose the Wrong Location
If you pick The Y Man or Altered Egos by mistake, nothing bad happens and the game does not penalize you. It lets you try again until you get it right.
The Brainteaser Connection
The three bomb missions in Episode 4 are: Nostalgically Yours, Theatrically Yours, and Comically Yours. They are are not just random calls. Near the end of the episode, Brainteaser contacts you and asks three questions. One of them is his favorite movie. The answer is Standing Alive. If you get all three right, the entire Z-Team earns bonus XP and you catch him with an easy Intellect check of 1. Get one wrong, and that check jumps to 10.
