Jan 06, 2000 System Requirements: Windows 95/98 166 MHz Pentium Processor 16 MB RAM 8X CD-ROM Drive 130 MB available hard disk space 16- Bit color graphics video card, 16- Bit Windows compatible stereo sound card. Mouse and speakers. This walkthrough was written from playing the game in the Senior Detective level. There might be differences if played in the Jr. Detective or Master Detective level. [If you get stuck in this game, try changing from Day to Night, check the note pad by the phone in the apartment, and look for new mail and package on the chair next to the phone and the table. You can also get help by calling your friends.] BEGINNING: Nancy Drew is asked to come to New York and stay at her Aunt Eloisa's apartment with the soap opera star Mattie Jensen. Her new case is to find out who is sending the death threats to Rick, Mattie's costar. Talk with Mattie at the apartment. Ask her about the teleprompter, poisoned chocolates and threatening letters. Mattie will leave and give you a copy of the keys and have a pass ready for you at the World Wide Broadcasting Company. Search and look at everything in the apartment. You will pick up a tv remote control in the basket beneath the window. Read the letters in the Vertical drawers of the desk in the living room and the card on the desk. Read the note next to the phone and call Ned. Go to Worldwide Broadcasting. Before signing in at the front desk, pan to the right and read through the magazine on the table. Notice the letters have been cut out of the magazine. You can also look across in front of the sign in desk and read another magazine which has the letters cut out. Pick up your pass and sign in. Listen by the door of the Producer, William Pappas. Go to Mattie's dressing room and talk with her. She will invite you to come down to the set. After she leaves check out her dressing room. Read and look at everything. In the top section of her jewelry box you will find Rick's cell phone number and in the drawer of the box you will see a torn note. To turn the pieces of paper, put your cursor in the left upper corner until you get a curved arrow, then click on it. (See graphic below of the torn note.) Head over to the set and watch the scene as Rory almost gets hit by a falling lamp. When everyone leaves you can check out the stage. Notice the broken clock, the teleprompter and make your way over to the workbench. Pick up the screw driver. Before going to Rick's dressing room listen through the door to the Producer's conversation again on the phone. Go to Rick's dressing room and talk with him. Pick up the 3D glasses from the vanity drawer. Notice the threat letters especially the typed ones. The "Y" is dropped. Go to the Prop room and talk with Millie. She will tell you to talk with the Director. When you talk with Lillian, the Director, she will take your pass away. Go back and talk with Mattie at the apartment and she will arrange for you to be hired as an extra with her agent Dwayne Powers. You will now have a new address on your map. Make note of his telephone number. Go to Dwayne Power's office, Ring the buzzer TWO times to speak with Dwayne. Return to WW Broadcasting Studio. You will be given another pass. Talk with the Director and then Millie in the Prop room. Millie will give you some riddles to answer: Give it air and it will live . Give it water and it will die. (FIRE) What has a head and tail but no body (COIN) What has teeth but can't eat (COMB) Riddles for Jr. Detective level: 1) I run all day and never walk, I tell you something, but I do not talk! What am I? .........Watch or Clock 2) When you look at my face it is easy to see, You're looking at you when you're looking at me! What am I? ..........Mirror 3) Soft as a petal that falls from a tree, the more I dry the wetter I'll be! What am I? ..........Sponge or Towel Riddles for Master Detective level: 1) The more you make the more you leave behind? What am I?........ Friends 2) What is full if holes but holds water? What am I?........ Sponge 3) What has four fingers and one thumb but is not alive? What am I?....... Glove Now you can enter the Prop room... Solve the chest puzzle to get a clock hand. Look at the map in the back of the chest and notice the poem written around the edge. Pick up the wire cutters under the map. Look at everything and pick up the door knob, and oil can. Notice the typewriter and that the "Y" is dropped. Look at the log book on the table and notice the name in the back corner of the book. It reads Millie WWB1958 (see graphic: Log book in prop room here).... Talk to Mattie again. Go back to the apartment and it should be nighttime. Look at the chair next to the phone and watch the video. Call your friends for help. You may need to change to Daytime. Call Dwayne Powers. Go back to the studio and check Rick's dressing room. When you knock on the door it will open slightly. It is a good time to save your game. Go inside and disarm the bomb. To disarm the bomb, use the screwdriver from the work bench in the studio on the four screws of the tape recorder. Then immediately grab the wire cutters you picked up under the map on the wires just above the TIMER CLOCK on the bomb. Clip the wires in the following order: YELLOW, RED, ORANGE and BLUE. Return to Mattie's apartment. Talk to the Producer on the phone. Check the note pad again to see a message from George. Look to the left of the phone to see a new letter. In it you will find the code for the side entry. Now it is time to go to the studio at night. If you are on Days change to Night and go to the studio. You will get in the back entrance. Go to the Director's office and use your pass on the door knob to enter. If you get caught at any time by the Security Guard, use your SECOND CHANCE option from the main game menu. Go to Lillian's office (Director). Use your pass on the door knob to open the door. Look at the book on the shelf above the desk to get Lillian's Personal File Disk. Look at the Fax Sheet on the Fax Machine. Look in the trash can below the Fax Machine. Look in the top drawer of her desk at the Rubber Cement. Look at the calendar on the wall and the desk calendar. Note the numbers in code, written on the right side of the calendar. Now move to the clipboard underneath the TV/VCR in Lillian's office. Click carefully on the paper BENEATH the top paper. Use the 3-D glasses you took from Rick's Dressing Room on the paper to read the codes. Make a note of those codes as you will need that information in combination with the files on Lillian's Computer in order to can access to the Control Room. (See graphic of the DECODER below.) Use the Personal File Disk you found in the book on the bookshelf in the CPU of the computer, then log onto the computer using Millie as your LogIn Name and her password: wwb1958. On the Computer, click on the Disk Icon and read the personal letter on the disk. Also look in the Computer's TRASH can (Recycle Bin). Look at the KEY icon and make a note of the codes for each of the rooms at the station, which are: KEYS for the following CODES: MAIL ROOM: 3STAR CONFERENCE ROOM: DARE ENGINEERING: GA8LE MAINTENANCE: LEAF BOILER ROOM: SAIL CONTROL ROOM: ACTOR PRODUCTION: SEEK FILM VAULT: ECHO7 PROMOTIONS: SNEAK Print the document when you've searched and looked at everything. Then go to the printer (in the corner of the desk) and look at the document. After finishing your search in Lillian's office go to Dwayne Power's building . On the right side of the buzzer panel ring Hess Grumbly's office. He is waiting for pizza and will buzz you in. Go to Dwayne's office and use your pass to open the door. Get the wallet out of the coat pocket and look at the calling card. Use those numbers to open the briefcase. Use the key in the briefcase to open the file drawers. [4377-6630] Inside the Filing cabinet, look carefully at Rick's Personal File, and that of Mattie's. Note her SKILLS (fire arms, etc.) Also read the LEMARRON book on the bookshelf. This provides valuable information and clues to the "coded" messages. Notice, also, the piece of paper in the RIGHT drawer of Dwayne's desk. You will see a diagram drawn of the BOMB timer and the wires (numbered 1-4) in the lower right corner of that paper. Additionally, you will find a few useful telephone numbers for the WWB Cast and Directors. Look in Dwayne's top middle drawer for the adhesive (wonder what he might have used that for). Look underneath the chess board on the small table. Return to Mattie's Apartment. Use the phone and call Ned. Ask him about the Prop Room locked door and the death threat tape (he suggests changing the speed of the voice). Return to the Studio (still at NIGHT). Use the side entrance code again (3689). Enter the Prop Room by using the doorknob from your inventory to enter. Read the new sheet of paper in the typewriter, then use your pass to enter the STAGE. Use the dial for the clock and place it at the 11 position. You will get a key. Turn and move towards the wheel that lowers the Catwalk ladder. Use the oil can on the wheel and climb up the catwalk and note the spotlight. Return to the floor of the Studio and move towards the back area where the coffee pots and chairs are located. Click on the metal doors. Use the KEY from the clock on the metal doors. To solve THIS puzzle you must first decipher the codes for entering the Control Room up the spiral steps. Use the 3-D secret codes information, along with the Security Codes you found on Lillian's Computer (ACTOR is the code word for entry to the Control Room) and the printed document in order to figure out the Control Room electronic panel. (see diagram below) Match the letter's from the code ACTOR to the shape that it is near on the decoder. For example A is in the shape that looks like an upside down L .... That corresponds to the shape on the key pad. C is near the shape that looks like a reversed L .... R is in the square with the dot in the middle .. etc... (see graphic: Decoder below) Decoder Control Room Key Pad Using the code from the diagram above open the Control Room. Use the key from the clock on the High Voltage box on the wall. Turn on the power switch at the top of the box. Close the Voltage box and then pan left. Get the Security Video tape off the shelf. Use the cassette in the cassette player on the right. Adjust the levels 1, 2 and 3 on both sides of the voice/frequency analyzer to tune in the background sounds and alter the voice. Look at the words written at an angel on the dry-erase board by the door. They read: LIGHT REVEALS WHAT IS HIDDEN IN THE DARKNESS. BUT YOU MUST FIRST UNLOCK THE POWER OF THE LIGHT. Exit the Control Room and return to the TrapDoor operating room behind the metal doors in the Studio. Look above the gear wheels to see how to set the levers. Maneuver the levers to match the diagram and push the button above the levers to activate the trap door. Move to the stage, behind the sofa and operate the trap door. Follow the hallway down below to another hydraulic lift. Go up and find yourself inside the locked area of the Prop Room. Look at the ID for Owen Spayder in the shirt pocket. Note the ID number: 318-67-2001. Use this number to find out information about Owen Spayder in Lillian's computer. Go back down and up the other lift back on stage. Exit the Studio and return to Mattie's. Watch the video tape from the Control Room on Mattie's TV/VCR. Call George from the phone (still daytime) and talk to her. Then call Bess. Talk to her about everything and everybody. Exhaust all conversation topics. Leave Mattie's and go to the Studio. Talk with Lillian at her office door ("You dated him, right?" and "Can you tell me anything about Owen Spayder?") Visit Mattie in her dressing room and ask her about Owen Spayder, Lillian and Rick dating. Ask her: "Do you think this could have pushed Lillian........" Then visit Rick's Dressing room and ask him about Owen Spayder and all the other women he's dated. Call Bess back at the apartment and ask her everything. After talking with Bess, return to the Studio (still at Night) and listen to the Bomb tape in your inventory on the cassette player inside the Control Room of the Studio. Adjust the frequency and volume settings so you can hear the voice as best as possible. Now return to the apartment and change to Daytime. Call Dwayne Power's office (212) 555-2900 and ask about extra employees at the Studio. Return to the studio (daytime, still) and talk to Rick about Lillian and Mattie. Then speak to Mattie about Rick and Lillian. Furthermore, speak with Millie in the Prop Room. Ask her everything and especially about Owen Spayder. Return to Night...Take the Red Videotape from the Control Room (if you haven't picked it up already). Go to Dwayne Power's office at night and buzz Hess's office and he will let you in. Enter Dwayne's office and look around. Open the briefcase once again and note the check from Mattie for $5,000. Also note the overdue payment letters that Dwayne has in his briefcase. Try using the phone to call Millie, Lillian and Mattie from his office (the phone numbers are on a clipboard inside one of his drawers). Once you've snooped around in his office again, return to Mattie's apartment and enter the Living room. Place the Red Security Video tape (you should now have 2 videotapes in your inventory: one with a blue label and one with a red label) in the VCR, after turning on the TV using the remote control device. Watch the Security tape carefully. Several times is a good idea! When you're done, turn off the TV and exit into the hallway entry area. The phone will ring. It will be Lillian telling you to meet her later that evening at the Studio. Still at Night.....leave the apartment and go back to the Studio. Use the side entrance (3689) and enter. Go directly to the STUDIO doors. Use your pass card to enter. Lillian will be standing right there in front of you as you enter the Studio. SAVE YOUR GAME here. STUDIO - Final Climax: Talk to Lillian and exhaust all topics of conversation. Ask particularly, or suggest that the culprit is Dwayne Powers.... Save your game right after talking with Lillian. The lights will go off, and Dwayne will appear in the Control Room window up above. After talking with Dwayne, he will tell you that he is coming down to rid the Studio of Lillian and YOU. When you regain control of Nancy Drew's movements, turn immediately to the right and move forward towards the Fire Alarm. Pull the alarm, and then back up two times. Immediately click on the Vacuum Door release button just to the left of the doors that lead out of the Studio. Once you have pushed the button to release the Studio doors, a small panel opens (see graphic: EndGameCodes) revealing the Final Puzzle of the game. Remember that your time is very limited on this puzzle before Dwayne finishes you off! Don't wait. Immediately click on one of the buttons. IF you have pushed the WRONG button, you will not see a change in the panel. IF, however, you have pushed a CORRECT button, a white triangle appears in the center, in the black ball. Now push another button. If the white triangle disappears, push the FIRST correct button again (to re-light the white triangle) and try another button. The idea is to quickly enter the code so that with each button you push, a white triangle appears in the center of the black ball. You must correctly push the buttons in the proper order. Any wrong button and ALL the white triangular lights will disappear, causing you to start all over again. If you do NOT finish the puzzle before your time is up, use the SECOND CHANCE option from the game menu. Be FOREWARNED, however, that each time you use the SECOND CHANCE option, the button sequence will CHANGE. When you have completed the puzzle, the sequence will appear to be the same as if you'd done it incorrectly, but the Security Guard will enter through a side door and nab Dwayne! Now sit back and enjoy the final sequence of events as Nancy writes another letter to Bess.... You've solved the mystery and Life goes on at the WWB Studios! Congratulations!

Immediately click on the Vacuum Door release button just to the left of the doors that lead out of the Studio. Once you have pushed the button to release the Studio doors, a small panel opens (see graphic: EndGameCodes)
revealing the Final Puzzle of the game.
Remember that your time is very limited on this puzzle before Dwayne finishes you off! Don't wait. Immediately click on one of the buttons. IF you have pushed the WRONG button, you will not see a change in the panel. IF, however, you have pushed a CORRECT button, a white triangle appears in the center, in the black ball.
Now push another button. If the white triangle disappears, push the FIRST correct button again (to re-light the white triangle) and try another button. The idea is to quickly enter the code so that with each button you push, a white triangle appears in the center of the black ball. You must correctly push the buttons in the proper order. Any wrong button and ALL the white triangular lights will disappear, causing you to start all over again. If you do NOT finish the puzzle before your time is up, use the SECOND CHANCE option from the game menu. Be FOREWARNED, however, that each time you use the SECOND CHANCE option, the button sequence will CHANGE. When you have completed the puzzle, the sequence will appear to be the same as if you'd done it incorrectly, but the Security Guard will enter through a side door and nab Dwayne!
Now sit back and enjoy the final sequence of events as Nancy writes another letter to Bess.... You've solved the mystery and Life goes on at the WWB Studios! Congratulations!
