Started this today but am not sure if I like it. I don't really care for the method used to get from one location to another and I am not seeing/finding much in the way of clues or information. Just puzzles that need to be figured out on my own and some that appear to be missing pieces but you don't know that either. Then, I made some drinks but didn't get any tips! Or am I just being a block head again? Don't answer that .

when I play I use this page to help with difference detective. I also always save before putting money into the machines. I have found using the arrow keys is easiest for when Nancy walks

The walkthrough says this about the drum puzzle: The puzzle is forgiving and will accept a low score, if you replay continuously. I wish there were more puzzles like that; I appreciate that feature.

This is by no means an easy game and you are doing very well so far. I have said before that I really appreciate the fact that within this series the games are often quite different from one another. Inevitably there will be things that players don't like about a particular game, but no one could accuse them of making the same game over and over. My memory may be failing me, but I am pretty sure that this is the only game where we see Nancy walking from a top-down view throughout the game.

There is one more, Marian. Ransom Of The Seven Ships (game #20) Nancy does the treasure hunt for El Torro's journal and you see Nancy from above/behind like this

I agree with you Marian that the games are all different and that keeps them exciting. I know that every time I play one I sound like I don't like them but I do. There are sometimes some things I don't like in them though and they do make me crazy! Again today, made some progress but am again stuck now. I just can't seem to get very far without getting stuck. I'm now flying rather than scurrying around on the ground.

I hit a stand still Marian.
MAYBE you can give me a push. If not I will look at the walkthrough. I cannot open the roll top part of the desk in the tower. I did open the drawer so I have the last doll puzzle drawing, however, I don't have the last doll. I also don't have a key for the chest in the hut. I've come up with this as a clue "spun to q will do"?? I have extra cotton. Also, I have a drawing of the clovers where you figure out the numbers that each clover represents (which I've done but haven't figured out where/how to use that information).
So, what I know I need but don't know which I need first to proceed, is a key for a chest, a code for the desk, and a doll.
If this information doesn't help you to give me a push, just say so. No problem!
Thanks.

I am going to give you a little bit from the walkthrough - hopefully this will help. The paper from the coffee table has the picture of the desk lock.
The desk lock needs 5 letters. There are 4 books in the list and the drawing of the island with the N5 etched on it.
Each of the 4 books an has inscription on the inside cover. These are the clues to the letter. If you need more: Based on the etching on the rock in the island, one of the letters is N and it is in the 5th position.
Let's check the inscription in each book for the first 4 letters.

Yes and yes. I've also put the top of the rocket on and the fin or whatever it is called and played around with the wires. Where the 3 switches are, when I flip the first switch up, I get a green light. I've pushed the red button and blown up numerous times. I cannot make sense of the launching notes or the chemical chart and don't see anything else to interact with, and this is causing me to become bored quickly, which is why I don't like being stuck in a small area. If I could go play games at the inn while thinking and inbetween trying stuff it would be better. Thanks. This may be where I need the walkthrough. Let me know.

I believe you need to complete the chemical sorting to continue (you'll need the key that the chemicals are all blocking) I have found the walkthough here to be the best (it'll tell you which chemicals go to which bin) If you try that and still keep blowing up (which can happen if you bump a chemical, have the grabber in the wrong position or something along those lines) and need a video walkthough, I can point you to a couple

Thanks NDLVR. I have tried moving each of the chemicals that I can reach and have tried with different grabber openings but still keep blowing up. I will, however, try that again to make sure I have tried EACH option as I may not have done that.
Well, this is helping me to get somewhere NDLVR, so thank you again. Did I already mention though, that I'm finding this game tedious??

I finished the game. Thanks Marian and NDLVR for the pushes I needed! One thing I didn't like about the game was having 4 doll puzzles and the seating arrangement puzzle which was the same type of puzzle. Nothing wrong with the puzzle, just too many times. Well, the 4th doll puzzle did not have to be completed in order to finish the game but being me, I felt compelled to go back in the game to do that last puzzle anyway . I did NOT replay the chemical puzzle afterward though.
