All red herring locations

By area

Headmaster’s Tower, nine: laundry pile in the dorm, under the stairs, a sandwich, the cafeteria counter, the second-floor hall plaque, the shelf to the right of the headmaster’s door, the vending machine on the detention stairs, beside the infirmary bed, and the zip-line at the top of the tower.

Sciences, twelve: a bin in a tree planter, under Nugget’s nest, after the chemistry spill, under the pipe outside the biology lab, the puzzle-factory back door, a vent near the leaking-pipe job, behind Belini in the weather tower, the incinerator corner, under the platform at Quanty’s old lab, the back wall of Quanty’s lab, behind the big red crate, and the top of the fan platform.

Humanities, ten: top of the right-hand library shelf, the left corner, the lecture hall, the sill outside the library window, under the museum desk, the news-building roof, the relic case on Cipher Centre floor two, the garden left of the greenhouse, under the founders’ fountain arch, and a log across the river.

Arts, nine: second-floor bin, theatre shelf, under the central costume table, the dance room, behind the eel tank upstairs, the right shelf in the music room, behind the piano, the studio office chair, and the upper fountain near the forty doors.

Quad, two: behind the main-entrance bin, and the bushes after the clown job. Gardens, five: behind the outdoor stage, the river by the arrow job, the left side of the path to the riddle box, the hedge maze, and the boulder over the stage. Beach, three: the left rocks, by the lifeguard, and a barrel on the right dock. Nine plus twelve plus ten plus nine plus two plus five plus three is fifty.

A comment under the player guide mentions a fifty-first fish behind the Escapist Times that cannot be turned in. That comment is not verified, so it is not in the fifty.
