If you're looking for graffiti locations in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, you're probably stuck. To be honest, the Ask Your Mom quest can be challenging, especially if you stopped following footprints. You'll have to track down six graffiti poems, and we're here to help you do it with our complete Ask Your Mom walkthrough.
How to Start the Ask Your Mom Quest (Graffiti Poems)
First, you have to know how to even start the Ask Your Mom bulletin board quest if you want to find the graffiti poems in the Quarantine Zone. You can't just wander around looking for poems on Day 1—the quest won't unlock until you've progressed far enough into the game.
The Ask Your Mom quest becomes available on Day 8 of your playthrough. However, the Bulletin Board unlocks on Day 7, which is when the Major will post about the vandalism issue. After that night passes and you start Day 8, the first graffiti will appear outside your sleeping quarters, and you can begin your search for all six poems.
All 6 Graffiti Poems Locations in Order
For starters, it's important to know that the graffiti appears one at a time in a specific order in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check. That means you can't just run around and find them all at once—each poem location must be found before the next appears. Here's what you need to know about finding all graffiti locations:
- Use your flashlight/torch to see the bloody footprints that lead to each graffiti location.
- After interacting with each graffiti piece, new footprints appear, showing you where to go next.
- If you lose the footprints, you'll get stuck, and the Ask Your Mom quest won't progress.
- Don't skip ahead—the game only counts the graffiti in order.
| Graffiti # | Location | How to Find It |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Command Room | Right outside your sleeping quarters, on the wall across the door. |
| 2 |  Storage | Near the blue toilet. |
| 3 |  Lab | White wall in the lab section |
| 4 |  Sleeping zone | Turn right when you see the "Survivor Block" sign. Open the first gate on the right. Graffiti #4 is on the back of the blue container. |
| 5 |  Guard Tower | Follow the trail to the guard tower. |
| 6 |  Crossroads | On the crossroads wall below the "Laboratory" sign. |

How to Track Bloody Footprints
The bloody footprints are the key to completing the Ask Your Mom graffiti quest in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check. Here's how the tracking system works:
How Bloody Footprints Work:
- After you interact with each graffiti poem (press E), bloody footprints automatically spawn on the ground.
- The footprints create a trail leading directly to the next graffiti location.
- You must follow the footprints to progress the quest.
- The footprints are only visible with your flashlight turned on.
Where to Find Abe Crow and the Vandal to Complete the Ask Your Mom Quest
After you've found all six graffiti and interacted with each one, the quest will give you new objectives:
- Speak to Abe Crow in the Storage Area (he's the NPC wearing the blue hazmat suit).
- He will ask you to find the culprit who's been vandalizing the base.
- Go to the Survivor's Block and look for an NPC with paint splattered on their clothes.
- Speak to the vandal to complete the quest.
- You'll be offered money; it's up to you whether to accept or decline it.
Ask Your Mom Quest FAQ
You're not stuck because of a bug—you missed the bloody footprints. The quest is completely linear, and you must follow the footprints from each graffiti to the next.
No. The graffiti only appears one at a time, so you must find them in the exact order listed above. Trying to go to later locations early won't work—the graffiti simply won't be there.
The Ask Your Mom quest starts on Day 8 in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check. The Bulletin Board unlocks on Day 7, which is when you'll first see the quest posted by the Major about vandalism in the camp.
You only need your flashlight/torch to see the bloody footprints. Without it, the footprints are nearly impossible to see, which is why most players get stuck.
No. The graffiti must be found in sequential order. Only one graffiti exists at a time, and the next won't spawn until you interact with the previous one. You cannot skip ahead to later locations.
If you lose track of the bloody footprints, go back to the last graffiti you found and look for fresh footprints near it. Follow them carefully without wandering off. The footprints always lead directly to the next location.
Abe Crow is the NPC wearing a blue hazmat suit in the Storage Area. After finding all six graffiti, he'll be marked on your map with a quest indicator, making him easy to locate.
After talking to Abe Crow, go to the Survivor's Block and look for an NPC with paint splattered on their clothes. They'll stand out visually. If you're having trouble, talk to each survivor until one admits to the vandalism.
No. The quest only becomes available on Day 8 after the Bulletin Board is unlocked on Day 7. You cannot start it earlier in your playthrough.
Your progress is saved after each graffiti you interact with. If you close the game at, for example, 4/6, you'll resume at 4/6 when you go back. You'll still need to follow the footprints from where you left off.
No, the graffiti locations are fixed and always appear in the same order for every player. The locations listed in our guide above are consistent across all playthroughs.
