I probably would have chosen junior but it didn't show any difference to the game play other than the task list. The puzzles are all the same.

If you had a task list, it would be easier to figure out what you have done/haven't done. That's what I like about the "easier" level of difficulty.

I'll have a look-see at the walkthrough at this point in the game, but the game is somewhat nonlinear. That's probably why going to sleep didn't do anything, because there's something prior to that in the walkthrough that you haven't done yet.

Yea, I know. I like nonlinear games but it does make it harder to ask for help or to look at a walkthrough without seeing something you don't want to see.

I definitely appreciate the help Marian!

You're welcome, but I really haven't been of much help at all. I don't think this is a case of talking to everyone again who is available for conversation, but then again I don't know for sure.

No, I've talked to everybody and there isn't anything else to say. I can't get through to Sophia, just get a busy signal. Nothing ever came of this:

I have planted devices in Helena's pen, given Colin a mosaic tile, and given Margherita the black sunglass case. Nothing has come of this at all.

I haven't done anything with that Propane box by the club where you play Scopa. I think that's where it is.

I don't know what to do with the code on the back of the flyer that Margherite said she was talking to Fango about.

Other than that, it seems I've done everything I can do. I don't know why I cannot pick the lock again. Cannot use the binoculars.

Do you have a keycard with electronic gadget in your inventory?

How would I know? Nothing is labeled. I have a key card that I used for instructions from Sophia. And I have that electronic thing to open the gate at Zattere. I also have the "key" about the different cards. I think that's all the keys I have (besides my room? key).

Was I not supposed to give the sapphire to the Scopa guy? I did.

You haven't done anything wrong. And Nancy Drew games, I am happy to say, won't get you boxed into a corner that you can't get out of.

I didn't think so. I'm just feeling a little disappointed that I didn't get anywhere in the game today at all. frown

Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow so I guess I better call it a night.

Thanks Marian!

Enter this code on the fax machine keypad in Fango's office.

Hi LadyLinda, the problem is that she can't get into Fango's office right now and says she can't use the binoculars.

I'll probably need to peek at the walkthrough. I'm not playing tonight but I'll go through it all over again tomorrow and if I don't get anywhere I'll give in to the walkthrough.

Thanks LadyLinda and Marian.

When you figure out what you were missing, let me know what it was - I'm curious.

Well, I tried everything again last night and just now read the walkthrough and I didn't miss anything that should be holding me back. I did miss the chocolate in Fango's office with the position of them to get COPPASAFE but that doesn't seem to have mattered.

The only thing I seem to be able to do is to keep trying to pick the lock. I've already had it in position numerous times that the door should have opened but it didn't. I did see some strategy mentioned in the walkthrough that I will try. I may actually have to give up on this game. It's getting old now.

Well, that is really weird. I have never known of anyone to report a glitch with this game such that you are permanently stuck (nor has anyone ever reported any glitches, period), so it's just got to be one little thing that's amiss. I don't think it has anything to do with not picking the lock correctly or the lock not working.

If you would like me to send you a saved game, I could do that. I could look through my saves and try to find one that isn't too far past where you are now.

have you listened to the music box in Fango's office? that coupled with the flyer from Margherita could be what's hindering you.

on the mention of planting the bugging devices, nothing comes of that until near the end (it is used in the last sequence to track the villain)
