The Hint Shop (also referred to as the Hint Stand, ヒント屋 in Japanese) is a shop in EarthBound, selling information to aid the player in the game. It is owned by the Eagleland Hint Union,[1] which posts signs advertising it in various places. Upon finishing the game, the owner of the shop claims they are going out of business.[2] Upon speaking to the shop owner, the Hint Shop's location for that town is marked on the map.

There are a total of six Hint Shops in the game, with the price varying depending on the location: $35 for Onett, $50 for Twoson, $60 for Threed, $75 for Fourside, $150 for Summers and $100 for Scaraba. The hint recieved depends on the point in the game the player is at, rather than the location of the Hint Shop itself. For example, if the player has reached Fourside, but they purchase a hint in Onett, the hint will be the same as if it was purchased in Fourside.
