Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand Hints
Talking to People
Since mistakes can be made during conversations, save your game before you talk to anyone, if you can. Then, if you don't like the way things went, you can Load your saved game and do it over.
Choose the questions you ask carefully. Try to get as much information as you can tactfully and courteously. Acting dumb can open up all sorts of new topics!
Be friendly and inquisitive without giving away anything. Nancy does not necessarily need to tell everybody she meets that she is a detective. In fact, sometimes it is best to hide that fact.
Go back repeatedly to each character to see if you can ask about anything new.
