Nancy Drew 1: Secrets Can Kill! (Remastered) Hints

Awards

  • 1 of 13: Here are the possible awards and how to get them.
  • 2 of 13: Ned Defender: Rebuffing each amorous attempt by Daryl. Every time Daryl says something flirty, tell him no thanks.
  • 3 of 13: Easter Egg: Confidential.
  • 4 of 13: Trivia Tamer: Answering the trivia question correctly.
  • 5 of 13: Pop Prankster: Grape, grape, orange, cool!! Set off the soda machine alarm repeatedly.
  • 6 of 13: Barnacled: For reaching last level of Barnacle Blast. I've only gotten up to level 18 myself, but I'm told it goes up to 20 levels and then starts over again.
  • 7 of 13: Library Lover: For reading every single book. There are 13 readable books in the library, plus three more in Aunt Eloise's house.
  • 8 of 13: Super Sleuth: For snooping in every corner.
  • 9 of 13: Burp!: For your love of soft drinks. Buy and drink at least one can of every flavor. Burp indeed!
  • 10 of 13: $ Grubber: For finding all those shiny quarters. There are 50 quarters to be picked up in the three buildings you can access, plus another 80 to be gotten along with the Easter egg.
  • 11 of 13: Jukebox Jiving: For playing every song. On the jukebox, that is. You don't have to listen to them all the way through, but you do need to get them started; if you don't want to hear the whole thing, leave the diner and come back in to find that it's quiet again.
  • 12 of 13: Q: For following up on every lead.
  • 13 of 13: J'accuse!: For confronting all those weasely suspects. This is mainly a matter of talking to them after you discover what they were up to (after you see Jake's first video tape from the maintenance room, for example).
