Things I Never Noticed About Stay Tuned for Danger

If people have heard of Nancy after one case, then it’s a miracle she can do undercover work later on in the series without her cover being blown

Since Mattie is always losing her keys, I wonder how many copies of aunt Eloise’s house key are just floating around New York

THE PHOTOSHOPPED PICTURES

The terrifying collage of Rick making different faces *cringe*

Not gonna lie, I kind of miss when the games had a lot of random nooks to look at. Then you never know what was going to be important 

Wish we could read the article in the chatter magazine on inside the mind of a celebrity stalker. Seems like it would have been beneficial considering the plot

Dwayne Powers' office building has seen better days 

The characters are so out of the box in this game 

Mattie’s acting is terrible 

The second chances in this game put you way behind where you were actually at. This is frustratingly inconvenient

I really don’t understand the obsession with Rick, he is kind of a jerk

I never noticed that the bomb at the end spells hell 

When you’re too lazy to decipher the clues so you use the gestimation method to cut the wires

I love how the set of the soap opera contains a real life soap opera between the characters 

THE BRENDA CARLTON REFERENCE 

You can discover Mattie’s smushed lipstick before the threat written on the mirror

Is Millie actually like mentally unstable or is she just eccentric?

I love how pretty much everyone has sent Rick a threat

This game has a ton of phone numbers but only the chocolate one is callable 

The siren wail while solving the final puzzle is super annoying

Apparently Ralf works 24hr shifts

Dwayne really went from 0 to 100 real fast

Things I Never Noticed About Treasure in the Royal Tower

Isn’t it like idk hard to purchase a tower from another country and transport it to the US? Especially in the 20s?? Like wouldn’t the French government be like no

I wish we could have Hiked to Butter Lovers Lake. I will now forever wonder if it was yellow

None of the activities mentioned in the Wickford Castle brochure Nancy can do

I all my game plays as a child till high school I never noticed the operator number on the phone, and have only in the last few years realized you could call the front desk

For just arriving Nancy really made herself at home unpacking all of her things, she’s even got mail on the vanity 

How on earth does Nancy sleep with the broken radiator hissing like that???

Did Dexter know about the hidden study in the library?

The bugs have names!

I get that what Dexter did was bad, but completely disowning him and annulling the adoption seems a tad bit excessive

I never realized you could blow the candle out in the secret room, I always left with it still burning

When does Hotchkiss sleep? If she is in the lobby from 3-6am and then begins working again once she gets back to her room that's like half the night. Does she take a mid afternoon nap?

Did Lisa know who all had medallion pieces of the tiara? Or was it just a coincidence that she happened to visit the castle after Dexter and Jacque got hired and Hotchkiss decided to travel there to work on her book? Cause her plan would not have worked otherwise

How did Jacques not hear Nancy banging on the door after getting locked outside?

How exactly did Lisa just follow Nancy down into the tunnel leading to the tower? Like it doesn't make much since that she would just know Nancy preset the elevator to be on the middle floor so she could go in through the library, crawl through the vents, and then go through the hidden door usually blocked by the elevator?

Things I Never Noticed About Danger on Deception Island

This was the second Nancy Drew game I ever played and it still remains one of my favorites. The overall game storyline is amazing, I love how it incorporates the mysterious appearance of the orca with the history of the area. But man is there a lot of back and forth traveling.

I never caught that Katie’s research was on deep sea parasitic growth or that she even did research at all

The sad part about playing this game is knowing you grew up in Washington, but you never went to the Puget Sound Islands or had clam chowder 

Apparently you can have a PhD on the study of sea monsters

Nancy's fixation on finding Andy Jason all because of a business card

The audio game really should keep the ones lite you have correct if you miss one

So how long would Hilda have waited for someone to piece together all her coordinates and discover the box on the hidden beach before taking matters into her own hands?

I always forget Hilda was the mayor

I just gave Katie a sandwich without leaving to go make a sandwich…

This is the second Nancy drew game I’ve ever played and I’ve only ever been able to trigger the convo with Holt about the Atlantic Herring once

It would be so nice if you could leave/enter underground tunnel from the lighthouse without having one of the two doors be locked

So what exactly was Andy's plan after purposely bringing Nancy to where he was doing the smuggling? Did he really think his men would kidnap her as soon as she was on board?

by the way, Gab Smolders’ playthrough (on youtube) of HAU is by far the most entertaining, since Actual Irishman Sean/Jacksepticeye plays along with her and it greatly enhances the experience
