I really feel stupid asking anyone about this, but it is driving me crazy.

I am trying to get into Molly McKenna's editing room. I can't find anything to clean up the glass and I can't find an entrance to the base of Tut to retrieve the key.

What am I doing wrong? Please let me know!

Thanks

Hi Mcolbert- welcome to the forums!

Click on the paint can and then look at it.
Now turn off the lights and read the door.
YOu will now have access to the hidden panel
use the hammer on the panel and get the key
use the key on the door and then you will find a broom to clean up the glass.

Hope this helps!

I didnt care for the bombs much either.

Heres a few pointers-

don't expolde bombs where there are no rocks- this will bring more rocks.
If you blow up a box-ada will get more rocks

Thanks for replying but wat's a Box-ada? I'm Dutch and speak your language but
don't know that word.
I will try the pointers what you told me.Maybe you can explain the box-ada later.

If you blow up a box or crate on your side then the character you are playing against will get more rocks on her side. This will slow her down. The name of the character in the game that you are playing against is Ada.

Okay, I am stuck again! In the lobby trying to disable the security cameras. I have a bubble on the camera, the phone and the cone looking thing on the table under the poster. I can't find anything else in the room that "sparkles" to go with the things I have found.

Help!!

Thanks

I am in this room also. You don't have to disable the camera; you need a disguise. There are two parts to the disguise; one is in the locked glass case, so you need to find a way to open it. Just keep looking for sparkles; I don't want to give you too much of a spoiler.

I am having trouble with the Pharaoh poster, which I need to decode. I think I figured out half of it, but I don't know what to do with the letters. When I click on a sequence of two letters, it just goes back to the original state. I can't get out of the lobby and go to Molly's room without decoding the poster.

I also want to send kudos to the tech staff. I first contacted them because I had trouble with another game: when I downloaded the demo, it said my 60 minutes had expired. This has happened with a couple of other games, but I never contacted them about it. This time I did. So they issued me a coupon code. I decided to use it to purchase the Nancy Drew game, and when I downloaded what was supposed to be the full game (they don't offer a demo), it said I had 60 minutes. I figured it was a mistake, but when I had played an hour, the screen went black, and it said my demo had expired. So I wrote to them again, and they told me how to reinstall, and this time it worked, and I have the full game. Weird, though, that this happened, since there really isn't a demo version.

Hi LottiD,

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you but I haven't read the forums in a while.

I did redownload but haven't gotten to the snakeroom yet. Will let you know as soon as possible.

Wish US luck!

Hi LottiD,

You will be glad to know it works! Yippppeeeee! So go ahead and redownload. You will get a circle on the floor. That's the batteries. Once you put the batteries in the flashlight the stick gets a bubble. You click the stick and chase the snakes with the bubble on the floor. If you get one properly it blows up! At the bottom right it will tell you how many. Hppy hunting!

Just to let you know, this is a HER Interactive game, but another series. The Dossier series. So it is very different from the Nancy Drew Adventure games (which I love). I was leery of this, but there are a few reviews up on HER's web site, that make me think it's worth a go. People who like the Adventure series also like this...and say that they are different...not meant to be the same game. And people seem to not be comparing them. Just thought I'd add this in...since I was curious, I figured maybe someone else would want to know.

I bought it thinking it was a "normal" ND game... I much prefer the other ones. they're more of a challenge. Not sure i'd buy any more Dossiers

Well, I finally finished the game tonight. I figured out the Pharaoh poster on my own. I had to come here for help with the snakes, and to Lizzie's website for the solution to spelling LOIS in the right order in the underground cavern.

I enjoyed it, and even though it is different from the other Nancy games, I'm looking forward to the next one, at the spa, due out in '09.

Thanks, everybody, for all the help.

Congrats moonweaver! I agree with you! I love the ND adventures, but also really enjoyed this game! It was a lot of fun and I will play it again!

I'm in the cavern under the sarcopagus (sorry about the spelling) and I have to collect the shiny objects in the right order but no matter what I try I can't suss out what the right order is.

Thanks, it worked like a charm

You're very welcome! Have fun and enjoy the game!

Although, as I said before, I enjoyed the game, there were a few parts I did not like:

I HATED, HATED, HATED the snakes! There was a discussion in the Forum a while back about games with snakes, and the concensus was, most of us don't like them. However, I do see the logic of it, since a snake was supposedly involved in the death of the original actress (though that later turned out not to be true).

I also wasn't fond of the crows, but at least they weren't slithering, hissing or rattling. My main problem, even though I figured out the color connection on my own, was finding and clicking the items fast enough. Had to repeat that sequence several times before getting through it.

Some of the mini games required fast clicking, which is hard for me. For instance, the smoothies and the lock picking.

The rocks/bombs game at the end was difficult; also took me several times to finish that.

Anyway, I still would play the sequel.

I'm stuck in the one puzzle where it has a pyramid of heiraglyphics (not sure how you spell it) and you have to figure out what the name is...I got the egyptian word but can't figure out the 4 letter word afterwards does any know the answer?

help, I'm stuck in the wardrobe where the star's locker is locked up. I have four bottons that are color coded. What order do they need to be in. I've tried every way that I can and I can't get it to unlock.

Hi Gracealma- Look at the burnt out lightbulbs around the mirror--- inside will tell you the order to push the buttons on the safe

HI all new here. I can't for the life of me figure out what to do with the poster and the codes. Anyone fill me in please? Leaves me stuck in the game. It was easier to figure out the code earlier linking letters with hieroglyphics. But I don't even know what to DO with them now.
