Nancy Drew 1: Secrets Can Kill! (Remastered) Hints
How do I discover the suspects' secrets?
1 of 9: All four of the students you encounter have secrets to discover. Finding them out is a matter of talking to them all repeatedly, deciphering every cipher message, and finding clues about the place.
2 of 9: Hal's secret is the easiest to discover. After you read the book "English Essays Through the Ages" in Jake's locker --
3 of 9: -- go to the Teacher's Lounge and read Hal's essay, which is in the filing cabinets between the map and the printer.
4 of 9: When you've seen both of those items, Nancy will say something about Hal's schoolwork. Go talk to him, and he fesses up.
5 of 9: There are hints about the secrets of the other three (Hulk, Connie, and Daryl) in the cipher messages and other places.
6 of 9: For Hulk's secret, read the newspaper in Jake's locker and the sports magazine in the library (downstairs, on the right as you enter).
7 of 9: For Connie's secret, read the Judo Today magazine in Jake's locker, talk to Connie, and read volume K of the Encyclopedia Americana in the library.
8 of 9: For Daryl's secret, talk to the others repeatedly and read the article about Gray Enterprises in the Paseo del Mar Biz Sheet (in the Teacher's Lounge, in the bookcase by the door).
9 of 9: Finally, you'll discover more about Hulk and Connie when you watch the videotape you find in the maintenance room. And then it's time to go talk turkey!
