Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand Hints
Junior vs. Senior Detective
There is not much difference between Junior and Senior Detectives in Secret of the Scarlet Hand. Where there is a difference, I will tell you in the hints. Most players have found the Junior level to be challenging enough, even for experienced adventurers.
Basically, Juniors may get more comments from Nancy and more help from her friends on the phone. Also, some of the puzzles may be harder for Seniors. Seniors are also given less time to complete any timed segments, if there are any.
