Indiana Jones & The Great Circle has plenty of Mystery side quests you can solve, including "Monkey Business," a mission where you can track down items stolen by local wildlife. The main puzzle tied to this Mystery doesn't involve much combat, but it will challenge your exploration skills. By analyzing your map in the context of some clues, you can earn a reward tied to an important upgrade.
You have to progress far enough into the game before you can start this Mystery. The only area where you can solve the "Monkey Business" quest is in Sukhothai Village, an area you access once you've completed a good portion of the story. You will have likely finished other side quests in Indiana Jones & TGC, giving you a good idea of what the objectives for this one might be.

How To Start The Monkey Business Mystery
Infiltrate A Hidden Facility
Once you reach Sukhothai Village, you need to head south along the river from Wat Mahathat's west entrance. Keep sailing until you find a dock to the southeast before one of Sukhothai's largest islands. Doing this will allow you to discover the Fascist Armory, a secret bunker hidden in the jungle housing a variety of equipment used by enemies you've encountered.

Indiana Jones And the Great Circle Has Even Greater News For Fans Of The Series
While the success of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle makes a sequel likely, a recent update could be the start of a brand new Indiana Jones series.
The entrance to this Armory is blocked by a large barbed-wire fence, but it has a large hole you can slide through to start making your way to the facility. You can spot this hole directly to the right of a large plank of wood with a tiger spray-painted on it. Head forward past some ruins until you can climb into the small camp that houses the Armory, then go into the tallest building in the area to find the clues you need.
As you might expect, this place is crawling with fascist soldiers, so be careful while exploring it. One beginner tip for Indiana Jones & TGC is to try to avoid fights rather than start them, especially in such a hostile camp as the Fascist Armory.
On the second floor of the Armory's main building, you'll see a warning about the monkeys in the area. Take a picture of this using your camera for some Adventure Points, which will help you unlock the later reward from this Mystery. On the table next to the warning, pick up a Mystery Note to start "Monkey Business" and add it to your list of quests.
How To Solve The Monkey Business Mystery
Find The Stolen Key
When you read the Mystery Note, you can find out that the keys to the Equipment Room were lost. Indiana remarks how the keys were likely stolen by the monkeys that live around Sukhothai Village since those animals love to take shiny things. As a result, you have to track down the monkeys that stole the keys before the other Fascist soldiers can find them.
Picking up the note next to the key rings where the Equipment Room keys were once located will award you with 50 Adventure Points.
This Mystery is similar to "A Thief's Promise" in Gizeh, only requiring you to find a treasure to complete it. Thankfully, the key isn't too far from the Armory, so leave the facility through the hole in the gate you entered. From here, go left from the fence and over the wall of collapsed bricks that make up part of the ruins where the fascists set up their camp.
Keep heading forward from over the ruined wall and wade through the swampy waters to your right. This will lead to a small clearing where a few monkeys are playing with a collection of items they've stolen from the Fascist Armory. You can find the Equipment Room Key here on top of a small rock near a pistol, several books, and the larger ring of keys to other places in the Armory.
