Nancy Drew 18: The Phantom of Venice Hints

How do I get the different awards?

  • 1 of 13: I really like this way of doing things, rather than the nicknames which were fun but you never knew which ones you were missing. In addition, if you get them all, you get to see all the outtakes after the credits. Cool!
  • 2 of 13: Clogio -- buy all the shoes from the costume shop.
  • 3 of 13: Dancing Superstar -- do well with the dancing. I'm a klutz, so I've never gotten this one.
  • 4 of 13: Easter Egg -- find one or both of the Easter eggs.
  • 5 of 13: Euro Trash -- click on all the trash for money.
  • 6 of 13: Fashionista -- buy all the clothes and wear them all. This is WAY expensive, of course.
  • 7 of 13: Gelatina -- buy and eat all of the flavors of gelato. You can do this in two cones if you really stack the scoops.
  • 8 of 13: Lavatorio -- go into Nancy's bathroom repeatedly.
  • 9 of 13: Musical Muse -- pay to listen to several gondoliers (but you don't have to do them all).
  • 10 of 13: Sausage Sleuth -- Get and eat the bad sausages, then compare the handwriting on the note to the three suspects and confront the actual donor.
  • 11 of 13: Tessera Twitcher -- Get the mosaic absolutely perfect.
  • 12 of 13: Trivia Tamer -- Get the right answer on the trivia question.
  • 13 of 13: Websteressa -- Use the Italian dictionary everywhere. The hardest one to get is the one in the water trap, since you have so little time, and if you use Second Chance it resets to Italian.
