Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand Hints

How can I find Henrik after the robbery?

  • 1 of 8: Read the next hints ONLY after the robbery has happened. Otherwise it might spoil parts of the game for you.
  • 2 of 8: Have you talked to all of the suspects?
  • 3 of 8: Go talk to Joanna immediately after the robbery.  Do everything she asks you to do.
  • 4 of 8: Analyze the handprint, talk to Joanna again afterwards, and then check out her story.
  • 5 of 8: Have you done a thorough search of the museum -- including the Garden and the Temple?
  • 6 of 8: Walk about half way into the Garden and then leave. Walk towards the temple and approach the front of the steps. (Oh my!)
  • 7 of 8: Someone will leave a voicemail message on your lab phone afterwards. Return the call to Nurse Bluefoot (555-4000).
  • 8 of 8: The hospital is now on your map. You can go there to talk to Henrik.
