Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek Hints

Phone Numbers

  • 1 of 3: I don't know if the Nancy Drew games have always done this, but this time I noticed that almost all of the phone numbers spell out things that are tied to what they are. For example, Ned's number in this game is 523-555-4357, the last four numbers of which spell HELP. Since he is quite helpful (thought he doesn't give actual hints in this game), that's a great phone number for him. See how many you can spot -- the ones I've found are below:
  • 2 of 3: Ned:  HELP
    Tino Balducci:  JERK (should have seen that one coming)
    Chantal Moique:  CASH (lodge owner who's money-obsessed)
    Guadalupe Comillo:  FANG (guest who's really into wolves)
    Bill Kessler:  ENVY (guest who's obsessed with the things he doesn't have, like money and the lodge)
    Faringdale:   SICK (former guests who got food poisoning)
    Carl Jenkins:   SLIP (former guest who slipped down the icy steps)
    Southwaite:   PETS (former guests who are lovey-dovey newlyweds)
    Elsa Sibblehoth:   A DUD (former maid who faked her tires being slashed)
    Nikki Sabatini:   ROCK (geologist)
    Sheriff:   STAR (as in badge)
    Hospital:   HURT (ouchie)
    Ice shack:   BOOT (which is one of the junk things you can fish for)
  • 3 of 3: Of course, some of them don't work so well:
    Run & Grow Free: 7237 -- maybe RADS (radicals?) or PADS (for animals' feet?)
    Lou Talbot: 2063 -- AQNE, maybe?
    Avalanche Patrol: 2006 -- AZZO is at least pronounceable, but meaningless.

    But you can't have everything, I guess.
