You need to help out your uncle.
Use the door of the Stickz & Ballz office on the left and walk to the left to talk to your uncle. He’ll tell you to collect all four balls that got lost. Talk to him again and ask him to show his stick polishing technique. He’ll walk over to his stick and while he’s at it, take one of the HOT DOGS out of the cabinet. When he’s back, talk to him again and ask him to tell rule 6 of the rules poster behind him. While he’s reading the rules, take the KEY from the wall next to the ball washer.
Use the door to leave again and walk to the right to find the toilet and the tool shed. Use the key on the shed to unlock it and enter the shed. In the toolkit on the shelf on the left you can take the SCREWDRIVER. Also take the FISHING NET from the back wall. Take the CHAINSAW from the shelf on the right. Leave the shed again and use the toilet to enter. Look at the toilet to find a ball there.
Use the fishing net on the toilet to get the YELLOW BALL out. Use the door to leave again and walk further to the left, back to the crossing.Follow the path to the mini-golf course.

Use the door to enter the hall and next to the door is a small hole. Eat the hot dog to find it disgusting and use the other half on the mouse hole. Walk to the right to find more arcade machines. But you need quarters for that. Walk back to the left and see that the mouse left you a QUARTER. Pick it up and use it on the point ‘n shoot machine. After the quarter is jammed, take the WHITE BALL out of the return tray. Leave the hall on the left and walk south to the crossing. Follow the path to the haunted house on the left.
Use the door to enter the haunted house and look at the first mirror next to the door. Use the screwdriver to take the screws out and take the MIRROR from it’s place.

Use the lever to turn the machine off and use the screwdriver on the gears to get the RED BALL out. Use the lever to turn on the machine again.

Leave the game and check all the coin return trays of the other machines until you find a DIME. Take it and use it on the Bubble Joy Fun Machine to get your BUBBLE GUM. Take it from the machine and eat it. Eat the piece of bubble gum and use the chewed piece of gum on the broken ruler to repair it.
