I am in Nancy's bedroom (playing as Ned) and trying to open the corner cabinet. I don't have a key for it. Also, according to the WT I am supposed to check Ned's picture and the letter taped behind it. I have clicked all over Ned's picture but it won't turn to reveaL a letter behind it and where is is the key to the corner cabinet in Nancy's room?

thanks!

I better reword that part with Ned or remove it all together. It is posted that it is only on a special released game.

The key is given by Nancy and you have to pick it up at the police station drop off box. This is only after she asks for fingerprinting of the suspects.

Thanks MaG!

I went to the drop box and the key wasn't there. I had to stop playing the game because of my hectic work schedule and am just getting back to it. I don't remember that Nancy asked for fingerprints so I will back up and try to get back to that part.

This switching back and forth between characters is very confusing (for me) when there are lapses in gameplay. I have been trying to remember what I have done with each character and think I have done everything I am supposed to do. Apparantly I have missed something but I have looked at two walkthroughs and retraced my steps but I can't get into the corner cabinet in Nancy's bedroom or figure out how to get Nancy to talk to Ned about the fingerprinting kit.

gatsbygirl,

Be sure that Ned has talked to Deidre about intercepting a note that was for Nancy. And Deidre has given the note to Ned.

Then call Nancy about that note and the fingerprinting actions will happen.

The picture of Ned might not be on your game - it is only a bonus for some games.

I have Deidre's note. But when I (Ned) have called Nancy she doesn't say anything about a fingerprinting kit. Usually she just says "I am turning the case over to you" or something like that frown

I have a picture of Ned in the upper left corner (when I am playing as him) and there was a picture of him in Nancy's bedroom.

Place Deidre's note on the police dept drop box and see what happens.


Gee - just checked the wt and missed that part. Sorry.

I think I tried that but will try again. Thanks.

Just tried to put the note in the Police dropbox and Ned said "I can't do that right now."

Can you send me that saved game and I will check that part.

Also try to call Nancy, tell her about it (if possible) and then place it in the drop box. See if that works.

Well, guess I will have to send you a game. I have been switching back and forth between Nancy and the other characters for hours. I can't advance because no one will talk to me and I don't have the fingerprinting kit from Nancy's room. Ned has Deidre's note but I can't put it in the polcie drop box. I guess I need the house keys to open the cabinet and get the fingerprinting kit. However, Nancy got her cell, keys etc. from the box and passed them to Ned earlier in the game. He searched the house so the Drew house is now open but no one has the keys.

I tried to go back to see if they were back in the drawer at the police station but I can't find them or Nancy's other items,so I can't open the cabinet to get the fingerprinting kit. I can't explore the antique store (Ned has the trunk key), Scoop or the news van. I have just been going around in circles. What happened to her house keys?

I have never sent a game before so I will need instructions on how to do that or if you have any idea what I might be doing wrong, I will try that first.

Thanks very much!

gatsbygirl,

Once Nancy's house has been opened by any character - any other character can enter - no need of house keys.

Once that cabinet that has the fingerprinting kit has been opened - it is open to all the other character.

So just go to Nancy's house - enter and take the kit. luck

I didn't use the house keys on the cabinet. That is why I can't get in it. It is still locked and I no longer have the house keys and can't find them.

Change to Ned who has the house key last. Then get him to open the cabinet. See if that works.

That's the problem. Ned doesn't have the house key (anymore)either. He has the trunk key and Deidre's letter. Bess, George and Nancy don't have the key either. No idea what happened to it.It is lost frown

Check if you returned it to Nancy - if so, get Nancy to place it in the box.

Did Ned get a fingerprint kit? If so - it should be open now.

Also scroll that inventory frame and see if Ned or Nancy has it.
