thank you so much.H.B.

boy I just can't get the audio panel to work ,can't get the level right..can't get Deirdre's voice isolated.. should all the set numbers be in green? its very hard to see ..send help soon..

Yes, set numbers should be green.

Here are the correct settings from MaG's walkthrough, which also shows a screenshot of the completed puzzle:

Channel 1 level = 35.

Channel 2 level = 75.

Channel 3 level = 96 to 100.

Channel 4 level = 50.

Channel 5 level = 100.

Me frequency = 93

Bess frequency = -87 to -99

Cars frequency = 27.

Birds frequency = 73 to 83.

Bugs frequency = -100.

Note that only Bess frequency and Bugs frequency should be in the "minus" state.

Hi-got it...now at the tunnel maze,it looks like the clock is ticking..yikes...how much time do i have to get through the maze ?? and do i get a second chanch ??thanks for getting me this far..

You can save throughout the tunnel part of the game and it will stop the timer.

Yes - you always have a second chance but best save before entering - so you can always go back to a place where there are no errors.
Then save at parts you know is correct.

thank you so much for your help !!!

You're welcome. Enjoy the ending.

Deleterman, if you're still on that maze, I can share with you what works for me. I go to http://www.nancydrewmania.com/hints/ashhints.htm, scroll down to the bottom and the part that says
I need help getting out of the tunnels!, click the Show Hints link. What I do from there is either use a dry erase board or a piece of paper and draw the symbols. Then in game all I have to to is look at my list

very good , I will try that...thanks for all your help !!! ok one last question- I'M in the jr mode. when i go out the 1st door do i turn right or left ?

You turn left and should see a door with this icon:

Ok,thanks..

Boy that was so easy..duh !! again thanks all for your help..

You're welcome! Hope you enjoyed the game.

Yah it was a great game,I liked the tomb of the lost Queen better ...now i need a great game to play now..any thoughts on that ?? again thanks for all your help on this game.you were great.

Well, if you can wait another two weeks or so, Testament of Sherlock Holmes is about to release. That's a goodun'. I'd suggest posting in Discussions forum for ideas also.

nancy drew alibi in ashes. I can not see the shape puzzle at ths antique shop . helen

Hi Helen,

The shape puzzle is only described in the paper that you find in the "Dust and Dirt" book. It gives you clues on how to navigate the tunnels. So if you've found that paper -- that's all you need.

Hello friends of US...I have a big problem since yesterday I can't succed to play with alexei's game : too late every time....

Kind rgds

Agnes,

Is this the wooden box - number punch game?

Hi MAg, it is this crazy number punch game....

Hi agnes,

Do you need a saved game? I have one, but the gameplay doesn't follow the walkthrough and you'd need to check the tasklist to see what has/hasn't been done in the game. I'd be happy to send you it -- let me know. Otherwise MaG might have one that follows the walkthrough sequence.

But according to the walkthrough:

After 3 completed failed tries, the puzzle timer stops one minute before the best time and allows the gamer to win the game.

So you might try that.

Hi Rushes, I'm going to try your suggestion and i will revert to you....

I did it.... yes.....Tks a lot.....see you next time i have a problem....

Great stuff! Have fun. We're here if you need us.
