Nancy Drew 1: Secrets Can Kill! (Remastered) Hints
What should I do here before I go?
1 of 7: If you thoroughly explore Aunt Eloise's house before you take off, you'll avoid having to come back here later. But if you want, you can dive into the mystery first and come back here when you need to.
2 of 7: There are a lot of things to look at here; some of them are helpful clues about the mystery you're about to solve, some of them are things you'll need later, and some of them are just fun stuff from previous games.
3 of 7: There are two keys you need to find, and you also need to find your aunt's computer log-in and password. And there are a bunch of quarters to pick up, if you care.
4 of 7: The key to the school library is found in Aunt Eloise's safe, as she mentions in the note she left for you on the credenza, and so is her computer log-in and password.
5 of 7: The key to the teacher's lounge is found --
6 of 7: -- in a hollowed-out book to the right of the TV. Mouse over the books until the cursor turns red, then click to pick up the key.
7 of 7: Once you have both keys and the password, head for the front door. You'll get a phone call as you're leaving, which you can obey or ignore till later as you choose.
