• The game is located right after the rose cart at the Festival entrance

• Look for a man studying a jar filled with jelly beans

2. Talk to the Contestant

• He’ll ask Alex to help him win the $100 gift card prize

• Agree to assist him with guessing the number of beans

3. Make Initial Guesses

• First guess 300 beans

• Next guess 800 beans

• Alex will sense the organizer is nervous about the 2nd guess

4. Use Powers to Read Thoughts

• Focus on the organizer with Alex’s empathy power

• Learn she’s anxious the guess is too close

Tips for the Jelly Bean Game

• You can replay this game from the Main Menu if you miss it

• Don’t forget to grab a rose for Ryan or Steph beforehand

• Only Alex’s empathy power provides the exact number

• The contestant wants the prize to treat his mom or dog

• Save beforehand in case you make a wrong guess

• No need to manually count the beans yourself

What If You Guess Wrong?

If you make an incorrect guess, don’t worry! The contestant will ask Alex to make another attempt at guessing the number of jelly beans.

You can simply reload the autosave and try again. Use Alex’s powers to their full potential to deduct the exact amount.

Make your guesses in increments of 100 beans until you get closer based on the organizer’s reactions. Eventually, Alex will extract the thought revealing 731 as the magic number.

Uses for the $100 Gift Card Prize

If Alex successfully helps the man win, he’ll be awarded the $100 gift card prize. During their initial conversation, Alex learns a bit about his motivations:

• If you reunited him with his lost dog earlier, he’ll use the card to buy his pet treats

• If his dog remained missing, he planned to take his mother out for a nice dinner with the gift card

So whether it goes towards dog toys or a meal for his mom, the prize will be used thoughtfully if won.

Why Help the Contestant?

Alex decides to lend the contestant a hand for a few reasons:

• He seems down on his luck and could really use the gift card

• She wants to use her powers to help someone in need

• It’s a fun challenge to beat the game organizer

• Alex has a rebellious streak and wants to cause a little chaos

Ultimately, her kindness pays off, as he’s incredibly grateful for her assistance winning the $100 prize.

So remember, there are 731 jelly beans in the jar at the Spring Festival! Use Alex’s unique empathy powers to uncover the exact amount and help a nice stranger win big in Life Is Strange: True Colors.
