Killer Frequency how to save maurice: Route Overview
Maurice Russell’s rescue is a timed, multi-stage radio operation. The solution depends on creating distance, obtaining a portable radio, and drawing the Whistling Man away from Maurice’s hiding place at the correct moment.
The first part of the call does not require an immediate dialogue choice. Listen until Maurice sends information by fax, then leave the call, collect the fax, and return to continue the sequence. Missing this movement can make the later instructions feel out of order.
Video Highlights:
- Maurice must be redirected toward the editor’s office.
- The portable radio is planted in the secret archive.
- The radio stays silent until Maurice reaches a safe hiding position.
- The boardroom call creates the final distraction.
| Stage | Main objective | Correct action |
|---|---|---|
| Opening call | Create the first distraction | Call the editor’s office |
| Maurice’s movement | Move him away from danger | Select kitchen |
| Equipment setup | Prepare the bait | Choose Use a radio? |
| Second call | Protect the radio carrier | Turn the volume down |
| Final distraction | Pull the killer away | Call the boardroom |
| Hiding phase | Keep Maurice alive | Hide in the cabinet and stay quiet |
Treat Maurice’s rescue as two connected calls rather than one conversation. Finish the first setup, wait for his callback, and then complete the boardroom sequence.
Distraction
Call the editor’s office first, then later call the boardroom. These locations keep the Whistling Man moving away from Maurice.
Equipment
Retrieve the portable radio associated with Hopkins and use it as the signal source inside the secret archive.
Timing
Keep the radio quiet while Maurice reaches the cabinet. Speak only after Peggy confirms that the danger has passed.
Before the Callback: Set Up Maurice’s Escape
Begin by staying with Maurice’s initial conversation. You can hear the setup without selecting a rescue response immediately. When the call pauses and the fax becomes available, go to the fax machine and collect the material he sent.
Return to the active call after collecting the fax. The next choices determine whether Maurice has enough time to move while the Whistling Man investigates a false lead. The first destination is the editor’s office, followed by the kitchen.
| Order | Dialogue or action | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Continue the opening conversation | Reach the point where Maurice sends the fax |
| 2 | Visit the fax machine | Collect Maurice’s fax |
| 3 | Return to the call | Resume the rescue instructions |
| 4 | Call the editor’s office | Draw the killer toward a different office |
| 5 | Select kitchen | Tell Maurice where to move |
| 6 | Choose Use a radio? | Establish the next rescue method |
Wait for the Fax
Let Maurice complete the first portion of the call. When he sends his fax, leave the conversation and collect it from the fax machine before returning to him.
Call the Editor’s Office
When Forrest asks where to send the Whistling Man, choose Call the editor’s office. This creates the first diversion and gives Maurice a safer movement window.
Send Maurice to the Kitchen
Select kitchen when Maurice asks where he should move. This keeps him progressing through the station while the killer searches elsewhere.
Choose the Radio Plan
When the next idea appears, select Use a radio?. This advances the rescue toward the portable-radio setup instead of relying on another direct phone call.
The first Maurice call contains a setup period with no rescue choice. Do not force a later response before collecting the fax; continue only after returning to the conversation.
The radio plan is essential because the secret archive does not have a phone. Maurice needs a sound source that can attract the Whistling Man without requiring someone to remain in the room. Hopkins’ portable radio provides that bait.
Find the Radio and Plant It in the Archive
After selecting the radio option, the station staff identifies a portable radio belonging to sports reporter Hopkins. The goal is to take that radio to the secret archive and prepare it before the killer reaches the area.
The archive is useful because its door can be locked from the outside. It does not provide a way to escape from inside, so Maurice must enter only when the plan is ready. The radio should be available as a distraction, but it must not make noise while Maurice is still exposed.
| Task | Correct approach | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Locate equipment | Find Hopkins’ portable radio | It supplies the distraction signal |
| Select the station | Tune to 189.16 The Scream | This is the broadcast frequency used for the bait |
| Place the radio | Put it in the secret archive | The sound draws the killer into a lockable room |
| Control the volume | Keep it down at first | Loud audio can expose Maurice too early |
| Prepare the carrier | Let Maurice move before activation | The timing protects him from the search |
The secret archive is not a normal hiding place. Maurice cannot break out from inside, so the plan works only when the radio is planted, the killer is redirected, and the door can be secured afterward.
Use the station’s movement opportunities to place the radio before the final distraction begins. Once the radio is ready, wait for Maurice to call again. The second call contains the time-sensitive choices that complete the rescue.
The important sequence is:
- Use the portable radio rather than searching for a phone in the archive.
- Tune it to 189.16 The Scream.
- Keep the volume low while Maurice is still moving.
- Wait for the second call before beginning the final lure.
- Prepare to redirect the Whistling Man toward the boardroom.
This setup aligns with the broader caller-saving route documented in the Killer Frequency save-everyone walkthrough, which also identifies Maurice’s rescue as a two-part sequence.
Second Call: Correct Choices to Save Maurice
When Maurice calls back, the danger has moved into the final phase. The radio is ready, but activating it too loudly or sending the killer to the wrong room can end the rescue.
Select the following responses in order:
| Step | Correct choice | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Maurice, turn the volume down! | Prevent the radio from attracting the killer too soon |
| 2 | board room | Choose the next destination for the distraction |
| 3 | I’m sure. Make the call | Confirm the boardroom diversion |
| 4 | I’ll impersonate Mr. Russell | Give the killer a convincing reason to investigate |
| 5 | Hide in your cabinet | Put Maurice in the final safe position |
| 6 | Say nothing while the timer runs | Allow the distraction to work |
Choose turn the volume down, send the killer to the boardroom, confirm the call, impersonate Mr. Russell, and tell Maurice to hide in his cabinet.
The boardroom is the correct destination for the second diversion. It gives Maurice time to reach his office and hide. After the impersonation begins, do not rush to fill the silence. The timer is part of the solution.
Lower the Radio Volume
Select Maurice, turn the volume down! during the quick-time prompt. The radio must not blast while the Whistling Man is still close.
Call the Boardroom
Choose board room, then confirm with I’m sure. Make the call. This redirects the killer toward the selected room.
Use the Impersonation
Select I’ll impersonate Mr. Russell. The false voice helps make the boardroom distraction believable.
Hide in the Cabinet
Tell Maurice to hide in your cabinet. This is the final hiding instruction for the rescue sequence.
Stay Silent
Allow the timer to run without choosing additional dialogue. Peggy will indicate when it is safe to speak again.
Do not treat the waiting period as optional. Speaking before Peggy confirms the area is safe can interrupt the timing of the distraction and put Maurice at risk.
Once Peggy confirms that the danger has passed, the Whistling Man can be trapped in the archive while the station staff prepares for the authorities. Maurice’s rescue is then secured as part of the caller-saving route.
Mistakes, Timing Checks, and Rescue Checklist
Maurice’s sequence is easier when each objective is handled in order. The most common problems come from skipping the fax, using the wrong destination, or speaking during the silent timer.
| Potential mistake | What it disrupts | Recovery advice |
|---|---|---|
| Skipping the fax machine | Delays the first call progression | Collect the fax before resuming Maurice’s call |
| Choosing the wrong first destination | Reduces Maurice’s movement window | Use the editor’s office |
| Sending Maurice somewhere other than the kitchen | Breaks the intended route | Select kitchen |
| Searching for a phone in the archive | The archive has no phone | Use the portable radio |
| Activating the radio too early | Exposes the timing of the plan | Keep the volume down |
| Choosing a different final location | Sends the killer away from the required route | Call the boardroom |
| Speaking during the timer | Interrupts the silent hiding phase | Wait until Peggy says it is safe |
Maurice Rescue Checklist:
- Wait for Maurice to send the fax and collect it

If you are checking the route during a replay, focus on the decision points rather than rushing through every line. The fax, kitchen, radio, boardroom, cabinet, and silence are the critical checkpoints.
Saving Maurice contributes to the broader objective of protecting the possible Whistling Man victims. The outcome does not alter the game’s overall ending, but successful caller rescues are tied to their corresponding achievements and trophies.
