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

  • 1 of 4: Well, you don't absolutely HAVE to have them, but they do make a dangerous situation a little safer.
  • 2 of 4: Has Daryl given you a mysterious note in red type yet? He will, some time after you've tracked down Hal's secret at the school.
  • 3 of 4: When you follow up on that note, you'll find yourself in a situation --
