In this silly game, you play as Ryan Veeder, world's greatest detective. You've been summoned by Chief Cheddar to the Delaware Museum of Cheese. He tells you that the Punster, your arch-nemesis, has "set up a collection of pungent punny puzzles in the museum, and if you don't solve them all, the entire place will explode and send de Brie everywhere!"
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 2 of the game.

Extras
Characters
Ryan Veeder, the world's greatest detective, is the player character. The game makes frequent comments on how attractive, intelligent, witty, and heroic you are. You are quite the awesome. (Considering Ryan was the sole judge of the competition that this game was entered in, this abject fawning is a rather blatant attempt at sucking up to the judge.)
Chief Cheddar greets you during the prologue and explains the situation.
The Punster is your arch-nemesis and he's taken over the Delaware Museum of Cheese with his pungent punny puzzles. You'll find him in the Brieding Ground.
A bear, specifically a Kamchatka brown bear, is sitting on something in the Nondescript Room.
The curds become animated bird-shaped curds of prey in the finale.
Mentioned:
Pope Fromage IV and a blessed cow are depicted in the Church of Cheese's stained glass window.
Novak Djokovic, a tennis champion, has a statue in the Djokovic Monument room. See TIME Magazine's article about the donkey cheese story.
Eve, the first woman, has a statue in the Garden of Cheeseden.
