Nancy Drew Walkthrough: Secrets Can Kill

Nancy Drew is a long and standing mystery game series created by Her Interactive, inspired by the novels of Carolyn Keene involving a teenage female detective, Nancy Drew. Each mystery game is a unique and puzzling story that follows one major event (usually seen at the beginning of the game through a cutscene) that the young Nancy has to solve. Oftentimes, she will be undercover - posing as a student, assistant or Nanny as she tries to get to the bottom of each mystery.

Each Nancy Drew game involves a heinous crime being committed and the player, through the point and click system has to solve various puzzles and investigate each event thoroughly in order to get to the bottom of things.

The Secrets Can Kill mystery is the first in a long line of mystery games created by Her Interactive that will feature teen sleuth, Nancy Drew. A big difference in this game, is that you'll notice that everywhere you look, there are clues that just seem to jump at you. If your goal is to finish the game fast, then you don't really need to look at the clues that you find around the game. However, if you really want to get a feel for solving a crime, then go ahead and poke around!

For your very first case, help Nancy solve a murder case in the Paseo Del Mar High School where her Aunt Eloise is the librarian of. It seems that a student has been murdered. But whether it was foul play or mere accident, no one knows for sure. It is up to Nancy, oncce again to figure things out! Nancy is vacationing with her aunt in Florida when a high school student is murdered. The principal of the school has asked Nancy's help due to the referral of her aunt.

Your source throughout this game will be Daryl Gray, the high school's Student Council President. A suave high schooler, who's gifted with the gift of a silver tongue, you can always approach him whenever you're in a pinch and are unsure of what to do next. He'll be working at the local diner so you can check up with him whenever you want.

The game starts with Nancy rummaging around her Aunt Eloise's apartment. Take your time and try to look at every clickable item you can find. In reality, you would only need to look for several items in this game - however, since a detective must be thorough, carefully look at all the pictures, books and drawers in the house.

The Hallway will display a clock in your near vicinity. Beside it is a note from your Aunt Eloise. She's left you the key to the library in the safe and the combination to it, somewhere in her apartment. To figure out where the safe is, you'll merely have to lift that tapestry by the corner of the hallway to reveal it.
