Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Game #1: "Secrets Can Kill" - What is the main difference between this game and all the other "Nancy Drew" games?

Answer: The characters are two-dimensional rather than three-dimensional

"Secrets Can Kill" was released in 1998, and the graphics are fairly primitive compared to the graphics of later games. In this game, Nancy's assignment is to determine who murdered Jake Rogers, an unpopular student at Paseo Del Mar High School.
2. Game #2: "Stay Tuned for Danger" - What is the name of the soap opera in which Rick and Mattie co-star?

Answer: "Light of Our Love"

In "Stay Tuned for Danger", soap opera star Rick Arlen is receiving death threats. His worried co-star, Mattie Jensen, asks Nancy to figure out who is responsible for the threats, and Nancy gets a job as an extra on the set so she can investigate.
3. Game #3: "Message in a Haunted Mansion" - How does Nancy defeat the villain in this adventure?

Answer: Drops a chandelier on the villain

Nancy is invited to help with some renovation work on an old Victorian mansion, but soon finds that unexplained accidents have been slowing work. As she works, Nancy discovers that some of the "accidents" were intentional, and the game culminates when she defeats the villain by dropping a chandelier on him. Nancy traps the villain in a well in "Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake," wins a match of Ichi-Do in "Danger by Design", and knocks out the villain with an air tank in "Danger on Deception Island".
4. Game #4: "Treasure in the Royal Tower" - Which is NOT a task Nancy does for Dexter?

Answer: Fixing her radiator

Dexter Egan, the caretaker of the Wickford Castle ski resort, asks Nancy to help him with several tasks when she finds herself snowed in at the castle. She fixes the lights, brings Professor Hotchkiss her boots, and takes the professor's dinner order, but Dexter, not Nancy, repairs her radiator.
5. Game #5: "The Final Scene" - Where does Sherman Trout work?

Answer: The Library of Congress

In this mystery, Nancy must race against time to rescue her kidnapped friend before the Royal Palladium theater is demolished. Sherman Trout sends her a slide of a letter from the building's former owner that proves instrumental in keeping the building from being demolished.
6. Game #6: "Secret of the Scarlet Hand" - The exhibition at Beech Hill Museum is about what ancient civilization?

Answer: Maya

The opening date for the "Dawn of the Maya" exhibition is fast approaching, and Nancy, the museum's new assistant curator, must help get everything ready in time. This game includes a lot of educational information about the Maya civilization, and as Nancy prepares the different exhibits, she becomes a veritable expert on the Maya!
7. Game #7: "Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake" - Which is NOT a name of one of Mickey Malone's dogs?

Answer: Xavier

Nancy's friend Sally invites her to spend some time at her rustic cabin on the shores of Moon Lake. However, when Nancy arrives, Sally is gone, and when Nancy calls her, she finds out that Sally was scared away by "ghost" dogs. As she investigates, Nancy discovers that Sally's house was a hideout for gangsters in the 1920s, and she must probe its sinister history to discover the true identities of the ghost dogs and their owner.
8. Game #8: "The Haunted Carousel" - Captain's Cove does NOT have which of the following types of amusement park attractions?

9. Game #9: "Danger on Deception Island" - What is the shape of the special rock in the tunnel?

Answer: Anvil

Above the anvil rock, Nancy finds a set of GPS coordinates. When she goes to the location indicated by the coordinates, she finds a special pair of glasses that allows her to see hidden symbols on the masts of a small carved ship. The symbols prove to be the key to opening a hidden passage in the caves under the lighthouse.
10. Game #10: "The Secret of Shadow Ranch" - What is Tex's job on the ranch?

Answer: Head wrangler

Tex is surly and mean, but as Dave, the handyman, tells Nancy, "He does his job and he does it well." Nancy has to ask Tex's permission before she goes horseback riding, and also helps him feed the horses and chickens.

Answer: Stepdaughter

12. Game #12: "Secret of the Old Clock" - What is the name of the elderly man who died a few months before Nancy arrives at the Lilac Inn?

Answer: Josiah Crowley

Josiah Crowley promised the recently orphaned Helen Corning that he would leave her a lot of money in his will, but when he died, he left everything to Richard Topham, an eccentric man who now lives in Crowley's old house. Jim Archer is Helen's banker and was also promised a lot of money in Crowley's will. Dexter Egan is a character in a previous Nancy Drew game, "Treasure in the Royal Tower".
13. Game #13: "Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon" - Which animal is NOT one of the shapes on the scale in Jake's private car?

Answer: Turtle

By making certain combinations with different weights on the scale, Nancy unlocks different things in the game.

Answer: Mint

Nancy is in Paris undercover as an assistant to Minette, an eccentric fashion designer. Nancy uses mint to bake cookies for one of Minette's models when Minette calls the model on short notice.
