When you are trying to open the safe look around the mansion to find the meanings for the words on the safe.

Always try to remember to not stay in Abby's room for long or she will come in at any time even if its when she's away at the fair.

When Louis is stealing the gold go up the stairs that DON'T CREEK! When you are standing on the balcony go half way down the stairs that do creek and pull a little thing that is connected to the chandelier. It will fall on Louis and you will win the game!

Tapestry Riddle - Search Nancy's room, especially the wall hangings. Read the tapestry hanging to the left of Nancy's door. Read the riddle and study each phrase carefully. Junior detectives will hear Nancy read the poem and can see the important words in brighter, bolder letters. Seniors must figure out the important words themselves. There are ten lines and ten words in the poem. Write them down! You'll be looking for the special words as you explore the Mansion. There will be a Chinese character pictured with each of the words. Draw each one! They will be important later in the game. (Juniors will hear Nancy repeat the correct line of the poem when they click on the character. Seniors will not.

Symbols - Your friend, Emily, knows a little more about the Chinese characters. Nancy can call her using the Parlor telephone. Whenever you see ANYTHING Chinese, draw a picture of it! (Juniors can also click on the symbol itself.) You will need to remember what they look like at the end of the game. The hints below follow the tapestry poem line by line, with the important key word in each line in all capital letters. One of them is in Nancy's room and is easy to find.

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 ‘Cancel’ to back away from the clock.

Examine the dragon sculpture carefully. Take note of the Hanzi for ‘Daughters’ on the plaque.

Look at the suitcases - locked! Take the key out of inventory and place it in the lock, it opens. In the suitcase, the only thing available to look at is Nancy's journal. This is updated as you go through the game and can be used to refresh your memory when piecing the clues together. Click on the inside lid of the suitcase to close it. Leave the room by clicking on the door.

Go out into the hallway. At the end of the long hallway you will see a picture of a woman in white. Click on her picture until the camera angle changes. Turn left and go down the hallway. Click on the door on the left. Click on the door again and your character will knock on the door. This is Abby's Room. It is the only door on the second floor that you can interact with other than the Chinese Room.

Abby's Room - with Abby (1)

Knock on the door. Abby answers the door. Speak to her. Choose conversation topics wisely, as some topics prolong conversations and others end conversations quickly. She suggests that danger surrounds Nancy. She also suggests (out of the blue) that Nancy doesn’t believe in ghosts, stating that the spirits in the house may give Nancy a hard time. She offers the name Valdez as having a strong connection with the mansion. She ends with having to prepare for this evening, as "more will be revealed."

Turn around and go back down the hallway towards the main staircase. Go down the left stairs. Note the cord tied to the chandelier. If you touch it once you will loosen the cord. Touch it a second time and you loosen the cord further. Touch is a third time and the chandelier will fall causing Rose to tell you to leave because of your negligence. If you decide to try it anyway, either save your game first or use the handy second chance feature after you receive a game over. Continue down the stairs. Notice that the last step "creaks.' This is a significant clue later on in the game.
