Nancy Drew 24: The Captive Curse Hints

Nothing seems to be happening!

  • 1 of 8: That happened to me a couple of times in this game. Here are some strategies to get the game going again:
  • 2 of 8: -- Talk to everyone. Repeatedly. Don't forget the ones who are only reachable by telephone; use the phone in your room rather than your cell phone to call them, though.
  • 3 of 8: -- If you're playing as a junior detective, read your checklist and use the Hint Hotline on your phone. You don't necessarily have to get the hints, since sometimes just seeing which hints are available is enough to push you in the right direction.
  • 4 of 8: -- Read everything in the gift shop. There are three books in the bookshop you can pick up, and at least one of them has some important information.
  • 5 of 8: -- Look at everything in your inventory. Some items have special features that don't become obvious until you look at them.
  • 6 of 8: -- Check the "Monster sightings" section if you haven't seen the monster yet.
  • 7 of 8: -- There are three areas in the castle that aren't immediately obvious. If you haven't found them all, check out the "Hidden Places" section to see what you've missed.
  • 8 of 8: -- The end game won't start until you've found all five legend pages. If you don't have all five, check out the "Legend Pages" section for details.
