Nancy Drew – Message in a Haunted Mansion
Game Play Notes:
—————-
Because the game is reliant on certain time blocks
(to be able to find certain characters or to search
rooms when certain characters are not there), the
player must wait for those time blocks or the clock
may have to be adjusted to a specific time frame.
Some conversations follow different paths, and can be
lengthened (garnering more information) by using the
gentle approach to questioning.
During your investigation, you will encounter many
ghostly happenings, such as strange phone calls,
spooky noises, fleeing spirits and slamming doors.
These happenings occur at different instances
depending on the route you take.

Solution Guide
Nancy’s Bedroom – The Chinese Themed Room
The bedroom that you (as Nancy) have been assigned has a
Chinese motif throughout. We will refer to this room as
the Chinese Room for the rest of this game. Your
inventory contains one item, a key.
Thoroughly examine the room. Notice the various forms of
dragons decorating the room.
Read the poem on the wall.
Note the interactivity of one of the bedposts – although
you cannot do anything with it at the moment.
Note the clock radio: this is quite valuable for changing
the time of day, without having to wait for certain time
blocks. Click on
