Hi Susie,
Nancy won't comment until the entire 5 sections are completed.

If Nancy doesn't say anything after you've completed all the sections, then you'll have to go back and check each square individually. Hope you won't need to do that!

Hi, Rushes! I did it ! I don't know what I would have done if Nancy didn't make a comment, but I would NOT have been a happy camper! Now if I could only figure out how that pesky Bento puzzle works. Susan

Hi, Rushes!
Thanks for sharing my joy (not to mention relief) at solving the Master Sudoku puzzle and for the tip on the Bento puzzle. I also had a problem backing out of the Bento puzzle because I couldn't seem to find the down arrow, but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.
Now to find a place to send George the completed Sudoku puzzle and see if I can figure out the Bento puzzle using the tips you gave me.
I've gotta say that this is the most difficult ND game thus far and, from the number of posts in the "Hints" section, I'm not alone. I started out playing Senior Detective and ended up switching to Junior, and I've never done that before.
Susan

The back out arrow is (I think) at the bottom right of your screen. Tricky to locate. Good luck. Shout if you need any further help. Yes, it's definitely a difficult game. We have never had so many requests for saved games as with this one. I think a lot of the game disks have ended up as drinks coasters, to tell you the truth!

Hi Susie, I merged your two threads for this game. MaG's walkthrough says: There are 6 wedges in the circle. They are all similar. What you do on one of the wedge - also do it on the other 5. Select a color from the right and fill the empty areas with the correct color. There are pieces there already that show what should be placed on those areas. Hope that helps! This is a timed puzzle, so it needs to be done as quickly as possible. If you need more of a nudge just let us know.

Hi, Rushes! Thanks for the instructions. And the puzzle is timed? Imagine, if you can, how much that delights me ! Do we know how many minutes are on the clock, or will I be down to my last square when time runs out? I mentioned in another post that I was unable to back out of the first Bento puzzle I tried to solve. I also couldn't back out of the second one either, and I can't back out of the puzzle I'm working on now. I didn't have that problem with the subsequent Bento puzzles, or any of the other puzzles. Very strange! Susan

You only get a few minutes, not very long. It may take a couple of attempts until you get familiar with the colour placements. Have a crack at it and see how it goes. Keep us posted!

Hi, Rushes! I've had several cracks at it, and it's not going well ! To make matters worse, I'm playing Junior Detective, so I would imagine that Senior Detective is even more difficult ! I don't understand why the developers would decide to make a time-consuming puzzle a timed puzzle. They're all masochists!! I guess there are no tricks to stop the timer like there was for the timed sauna puzzle in "White Wolf of Icicle Creek"? Since it seems as though the puzzles in the Nancy Drew series are becoming increasingly difficult, perhaps they should give some thought to adding a "solve" option. Susan

Hi, MaG! Not yet, but I'm about ready to throw my computer out the window ! I'm gonna keep at it for a while longer because I got down to just a few empty squares before time ran out. Thanks for the offer. I think I've only ever needed one saved game (and that was for the robot puzzle in "Still Life"), but this may very well be my second ! Susan

If I can do it with my shaky hands - others can definitely do it. Think of it as a memory puzzle. If you do it on one wedge - do it on the other wedges. Do one color at a time as best as you can.

Hi, MaG! I did it ! I have no idea how I did it but I almost fell off of my chair when the door opened and Nancy was finally free! I changed strategy and started in the middle and worked my way to the outside. Thanks for your help! Susan

Hi, MaG! I think I got the nonogram numbers from underneath the frog in Yumi's apartment. I've talked to her after finding the nanogram puzzle in the basement but the only dialogue I get is to complete another Bento puzzle. I'm all Bentoed out ! I guess I'm missing the numbers from the bamboo. Where would I find that? Thanks! Susan
