Hi everyone. I've been fooling around w/ this puzzle tonight and I'm just not getting a good combination of colors and placings and it's driving me a little batty. LOL Would someone mind sending me a save for after this puzzle please? Thanks SO much.

Will do! Now I'm eager to figure out how to get Karl out of his office---the little trick w/ Lukas didn't exactly work and I'm eager to snoop around. LOL Well, Nancy is the one who's eager--lol.
Speaking of that, would you mind a little hint? I hate to look at the walkthrough too soon because I just know I'll read everything and ruin all of the surprises for myself.
Thanks Rushes!

I'm stuck at the puzzle box, too. Have looked at the WT but still stuck. Help! Everytime I go back to try again when I think I've figured out one of the colors, it changes again! The puzzle is never the same way twice!

Hi Melia,
It's a variation of the Mastermind board game. Have a look at
THIS Wiki webpage and see if that helps.

No. I'm doomed. May I have a save, please?
Edit! Never mind! I did it! First time I've been able to do this type of puzzle!

It's a nice logic type puzzle.

I'm having issues with this puzzle too. I'm not looking for a save game(I'd have no idea how to use it anyway), I REALLY want to get this puzzle. I read the Wiki page linked above and for whatever reason, I'm super dense on this subject and I just don't get it. Would anyone who does be so kind to talk me through it a little please? Feel free to speak to me like you would a Kindergartner, lol. Logic puzzles are my wheelhouse and it's making me crazy that I don't get this one. Help!
ETA: Nevermind, I got it! Woohoo! I hate it when the Junior Detective level can make me feel like a moron, hee.

Hi Rushes,
I have done the box puzzle but I can't seem to get the legend clue page 25 from the Owl Book.
It won't come before I do the puzzle, nor can I get the page out of the book as I am doing the puzzle. What am I doing wrong? My granddaughter is coming to do it with me and I want to be the expert for her. Thanks.

Re: ND Captive Curse Renate's Box Puzzle - 07/05/11 08:33 PM
I got that page before and after I opened the box.
After you arrange the contents of the bag, you will see the bag with the book and box peeking out of it. You can click-read the book before or after the box puzzle. I would recommend before.
The page is just in the book. Check your inventory to see if it is there already if-when you opened the book.

Re: ND Captive Curse Renate's Box Puzzle - 07/05/11 08:51 PM
Thank you. I got all the way through the game and didn't have that legend so I started again. You helped so I didn't have to start a third time.It was right there as you said.

Hey guys. I was wondering....do we ever get the chance to open Karl's planner that's in the desk? I don't want to read the whole walkthrough and ruin the surprises that are coming, but I've been sneaking in and out of there and can't imagine where the combination would be or if I will actually need to use it. LOL
Thanks so much,
Tracy

I could also use a save.

To open Karl's day planner, you have to decode one of those card notes w/the pictures and letters.

I would love a saved game for solving renate's puzzle box. I am playing the JUNIOR mode. I know I will probaly lose the 300 euros I obtained, but this puzzle is nasty. Once finished, this is one nancy drew I will not play again. Trail of the twister is my favorite. Any help with the JUNIOR patch for this puzzle would be welcomed and appreciated.

paradise,
The saved game is sent. Have fun.
If you remember where the coins where collected, you can find them again or play the Raid game over.

It took me such a long time to rearrange the contents of Renate's bag, endlessly waking her up. Finally got to the puzzle. Had 3 out of 4 correct balls and thought the 6th column would do it and she woke up. So I did the book first and she woke up. Is this part timed? I guess that I will have to ask, please may I have a save. If she wouldn't keep waking up, I would finish the puzzle, I think.
Thank you, Mel22odie

Re: ND Captive Curse Renate's Box Puzzle - 07/09/11 12:51 AM
Mel,
The saved game is on the way.
Renate wakes up because of noise, I thought. I didn't get the impression that this is a timed puzzle.

Re: ND Captive Curse Renate's Box Puzzle - 07/09/11 01:24 AM
Thanks very much for the save. I knew that noise wakes her up when rearranging items but why in the bead game for that shouldn't make noise nor reading the paper in the book. At least that's what I thought. But thank you again, I can now go on with the game now. Again, thanks, Mel22odie

Hi again everyone. I was wondering about Karl's office.....I found his planner when he was gone but it has a combination and I can't seem to figure out what it is. Also, I was wondering if it's possible to get a save for after the colored glass puzzle? I know how to do it, but I think I'm just not making the squares the right size or getting them beneath or on top of each other the right way.
Thanks so much!
Tracy

You know those card notes w/the drawings and the letters.
You need to decode them - one will has the combination you need.
