Hey, Jingo! is a Glulx work of interactive fiction written with Inform 6 and is © 2002 by Caleb Wilson. It was entered in IntroComp 2002 where it won 1st place. Unfortunately, the game remains only as an introduction; it was never completed.
You play as Alain Quincy, man of leisure and secret agent for the Ministry of Colonial Finance, The Green Coast. Helzog has instructed you to secretly steal a mask from General Marchgrave's office in the Palace and return the mask to him.
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the work.
Behind the Ministry
If you wish, you can, instead of taking the hint to sneak through the jungle, decide to re-enter the building, search Helzog's office, and explore the road to the palace, but that route is a dead end.

It's not clear what you can do about the bloodhound. If you run away, soldiers find you the next morning, and the game ends with You have died instead.

Unfortunately, the game was not continued, although it's clear the author planned to release a full version of the game before March 20, 2003.
