I think I messed up, because after talking with Lamont, I stopped and talked with the doctor, then went to get the gumbo.Now when I go to the truck there is not a lid anywhere, just hot sauce and a spoon.

Ok. Replay then from a previous saved game and you can talk to the doctor before you talk to Lamont.
Did Nancy ever ask you to check the picture before you went and talked to Lamont?

Hi, MaG!

Thanks! After I posted that I was stuck in the secret room, I accidentally found the switch (clicking on everything really does pay off <G>).

I solved the Hoodoo dummy puzzle, so now I'm cemetery hopping trying to figure out who couldn't sleep without a peep and is buried deep.

This ND game seems to be the most complex so far and I'm really enjoying it.

Susan

Help can't seem to catch the eye in the pendulum game. Is there anyway to bypass this? Help please. Can someone send me a saved game.

Finally got passed the gumbo to go part, had to restart, but that's okay. Thanks for all of your help.

Jag, Glad you got through. I think it was a missed dialogue somewhere.

Susie, Glad you found that switch. Try page 79.

Tialing, No bypass that I know of. There are only 2 points that you can catch that eye. The farthest swing and the second closer to the panel swing. Mark where it is in your monitor, press that lever and immediately go to that spot. If missed the first one, move immediately to the second one. You can do it.

hi . i'm playing the legend of the crystal skull and i played the game on the table.i seem to have gotten the junior puzzle right but could not pick the eye up.. did i fail to do somthing. i'm trying to follow the walkthrough.thanks.jean

Jean if move the block to stop the laser at the bottom of the board, you should be able to scoot under that block and get the eye.

Sue

texaslady, ive done everything but the pointer does not show active.. jean

Give me some time to play that part of the game again Jean and I'll get back to you.

Sue

I'm playing this game now and as Sue said...once you move the wooden piece to block the last laser...and scoot the game piece around using the table game arrow controls...the eyeball releases in a mini-cutscene and then you can pick it up. Did you get that to happen, Jean1?

well i finished my game today, started it yesterday . can't wait for the next one

Jean I just did the junior puzzle so if you need a saved game I have it.
Once you get the block at the top of the final laser, scoot the metal pusher looking thing under it and then up into the area where the yellow eye icon is, that should get you the eyeball.

Sue

Thanks JK

texaslady, i did not get a cut seen. i tried a saved game you sent me before and i couldnot figure how to put in my computer.my husband and i both could not get it .. guess i'll send for the guide. i have gone over it and over it and i don' know what i missed. thanks jean

Jean you don't need to buy a guide for this game. MaG made a walkthrough for everyone here.
Maybe that will help you.
Have you tried to scoot the metal pusher thing into or over onto the far right handed yellow eye icon? I don't know that you'll get an icon or hand, just use the directional arrows to move where you need it to go.

Sue

hip hip hurray. i got the eye texaslady. jean

Alrighty. Good for you Jean
I'm proud of you

Sue

Tiffany, I'm not as far along in the game as you are, so I can't help with your problem, but I just had to respond to your joy at meeting other people who love the Nancy Drew games/books. I read the books as a child in elementary school in the 1930s, so I was delighted when the games started coming out. The only problem I have is with my kids, who are apparently embarrassed to be buying "kid's games" for me...

Hi, Jenny!

You can tell your kids they don't have to be embarrassed to be buying "kids games" anymore because LotCS is definitely NOT a kid's game <G>!

Since this is the "Hints" section and I need a hint, I'll post another message. I don't know how far along you are in the game and I don't want to spoil things for you by mentioning something here that you may not have stumbled across yet.

Susan

Hi, everyone!

I'm stuck again! I've completed the first 4 riddles in the book, but can't make any sense out of "The Key to the Statues" or "Plentiful Pirates & Nautical Nonsense".

I believe I'm now finished with cemetery hopping because there aren't any more clues.

I've managed to collect 18 eyeballs and have dressed Iggy up in 3 little outfits (mailman, pirate and optomitrist). I've solved the Hoodoo woman dummy puzzle and the bowling puzzle.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Susan

Susan,

The Keys to the statues - Have you see anything that resembles the picture shown in that page? The puzzle refers to that.

The plentiful pirate needs all the eyeballs collected first. Note the cover of the cabinet where the eyeballs can be placed. Then it will make sense.

Hi, MaG!

I'll have to take a closer look at the picture to see if it rings a bell.

I've got 7 more eyeballs to locate, so I'll worry about the final riddle then.

Thanks!

Susan

Good luck. That would leave 3 eyes unaccounted for then.

Hi, MaG!

I grabbed 1 eye from the pendulum and solved the spider jack-in-the-box puzzle, so I'm now down to 1 missing eye (the midddle one in the third row from the top).

I can't put my finger on what I may have missed, so can you give me a tiny hint?

Thanks!

Susan

I really don't know what you've missed.
Have you done all the stories in the book except for the last one?
Have you looked on the zoom lens in the secret hallway to see the bookcase in the library?
Have you checked the trophies in the library?
Have you done bothe spider web puzzles?
Have you serached Bruno's room?
