Broken Sword 2.5 is an unofficial fan-made game that takes place between Broken Sword 2 and Broken Sword 3. It stars the same characters as in the games by Revolution Software, George Stobbart and Nicole Collard. In this game, George receives a telegram while he is overseas to say that Nico is dead, but when he flies urgently back to Paris he finds her very much alive, and not happy to see him.

Go upstairs and pick up the paper at the bottom of one of the guest room doors - it turns out to be a hotel reservation. Go back downstairs and give this to the boy, to end up with a hotel room key. Return upstairs and use this key on the door where you found the paper. Search the briefcase on the bed.

Return left and look at the suspicious object under the seat to find a bomb. Use your dog tag on it to get it free. Talk to the man lying down here, then search his body twice to find a letter and some duct tape. Use this on the bomb in your inventory. Next use the bomb on the rift in the door. Talk to Miranda again to get the whistle back, then use the whistle on the dog.

Talk to the muscular man (Armando), then give him the ring pull followed by the coke can. You will end up with a bent ring pull. Use this on the beverages trolley.
