Nancy Drew 25: Alibi in Ashes Hints
Awards
1 of 15: Here are the available awards and what you need to do to earn them.
2 of 15: Audio Analyst -- For thoroughly reviewing the files: Listen to all of the interviews Chief McGinnis had with the suspects at the fire.
3 of 15: Belly Full -- For not working on an empty stomach: Eat at least twelve of the items in the care package Hannah sent (in the police station to the right of the computer).
4 of 15: Cartographer -- Knowing your way around town: Go to at least ten of the non-required locations on the map of the city.
5 of 15: Dairylicious -- For trying the flavors: Order and eat one of everything sold at Scoops. You'll see your bill during the credits (grin).
6 of 15: Easter Egg -- Finding a Hidden Surprise: Find the game's Easter egg!
7 of 15: Emergency Call -- For trying to get through: While you're still in the holding cell at the beginning of the game, use the public phone in here to call 911.
8 of 15: Fire Specialist -- For tracking down the possible starters: Find five different accelerants among the belongings of the suspects. Three of these will be found by Nancy's friends and the last two by Nancy herself after she gets out of jail.
9 of 15: Legal Lawyer -- For following the paperwork: In order to get this one, have Nancy go to Scoop after she gets out, get Toni to leave, then look at all the papers in the file cabinet. Call Dad and talk to him about Toni, then go talk to Toni -- who ought to be removed from office, no question. Let's start a petition to have a recall election!
10 of 15: Numberista -- For love of the game: Play the number game in the antiques store at least seven times.
12 of 15: Team Player -- For getting everyone involved: Switch between the different players at least 16 times. Phew! I'm not sure, but this may mean switching to Nancy's friends 16 times; it may not count the number of times you switch to Nancy.
13 of 15: Trivia Tamer -- For your wealth of knowledge: Answer the trivia question at the end correctly.
14 of 15: Cub Reporter -- Following all the latest breaking news: This one has to do with calling Brenda's hint line multiple times. You need to have each of Nancy's friends call the tip line; have Nancy say "yes" to each of the four directions (north, south, east, west); and have Nancy say "no" to all four directions in one phone call. (Incidentally, this award is only available if you bought the special edition of the game.)
15 of 15: I should also mention that I've never been able to actually win that last award. If I find out, I'll update these hints -- and if you know, let me know, and I'll give you a credit in the next revision!
