Nancy Drew 1: Secrets Can Kill! (Remastered) Hints
How do I escape from the culprit?
1 of 8: At the end of the game, after you open the box under Jake's chair in the library --
2 of 8: -- you'll come back to your aunt's house to examine the thing from the box. When you finish looking at it --
3 of 8: -- the culprit will show up and demand to know where you put the valuable item Jake found. You know you don't want to tell the culprit where it really is, but you just had a gun stuck in your face. What now?
4 of 8: Actually, it's not so much a matter of escaping the culprit as of trapping the culprit. You need to get that person behind bars, and fast!
5 of 8: Remember what happened if you entered the wrong combination in your aunt's safe?
6 of 8: Auntie's burglar trap for the safe would be ideal. If you recall, you triggered it when you entered the wrong combination into the safe three times.
7 of 8: So tell the culprit the item is in the entry, behind the tapestry. (If you want to find out more about the criminal's motives and background, tell the person the wrong spot twice before you tell them the place where the safe is. Three times and they lose patience, but twice will get you lots of info.)
8 of 8: When the person asks for the combination, say the wrong combination three times. Boom! Criminal in a box.
