Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion Hints

How should I get started?

  • 1 of 5: Read the riddle and study each phrase carefully.
  • 2 of 5: Junior detectives will hear Nancy read the poem and can see the important words in brighter, bolder letters.  Seniors must figure out the important words themselves.
  • 3 of 5: There are ten lines and ten words in the poem.  Write them down!  You'll be looking for the special words as you explore the Mansion.
  • 4 of 5: There will be a Chinese character pictured with each of the words.  Draw each one!  They will be important later in the game.  (Juniors will hear Nancy repeat the correct line of the poem when they click on the character.  Seniors will not.)
  • 5 of 5: One of them is in Nancy's room and is easy to find.
