She'll have to spend five more euros buying a second ticket to see the skull, then FLIP THE TOP OF IT OPEN (what) to reveal a big red button (bonus double what). Zu cheerfully explains that the leaf-and-hazelnut symbol is something he's seen elsewhere in the catacombs. Being a jerk to history was LESS POWERFUL than advertised, so let's run back to the apartment and phone Zu. Why did I pay five euros for this? Okay, well. There's a couple of pots, that skull, and those candles. Such respect.Īlso this is the ONLY GODDAMN THING DOWN HERE. sort of jams the note in an eye-socket, too. tombs and stuff, to this part of the game. You know, I honestly expected there to be more. After photographing it and the nearby melty-wax candles. pays five euros to a cashier and walks in, then tucks the note in a skull on a pedestal.

Then it's out to the catacombs, where Nancy. I hope this doesn't come between us and your cookies. JJ, I am really honestly genuinely sorry about defrauding you this way. Then Nancy takes the piece of paper with her many wrong guesses on it. Jing Jing finds it genuinely hilarious just how poorly Nancy manages to do, only getting two letters in eleven guesses. Nancy proceeds to throw that game of Hangman so hard it ends up on the moon, losing hugely. No luck THERE either, she's worried that if she writes her name down someone will use it to steal her identity. She is, so I try politely asking her for her autograph. I head back to JJ's place to see if she's around.

The only thing I can think to do is the one thing the game's explicitly spelled out for us: Get that note for Zu. I'll be honest, I haven't felt this jammed against the plot hinge in a LONG time, guys. So long as I'm making phone calls, I give Hugo Butterly a try again just to see what happens. Bess, George and Nancy chat about the cockroaches ('Ew.') and a little bit about Noisette, but no interesting lines come out of it. Man, those guys were just afterthoughted in this game! I feel sad about that. I call up Frank and Joe, but they still have nothing to say. That said, let's go be a jerk to history.įirst, though. You usually don't expect the main character to go around being a jerk to history. We're not playing Nibiru here (ask me about Nibiru!), we're playing Nancy Drew. I have to admit, that last one is kind of a WTF moment. Last time on Nancy Drew: DANGER BY DESIGN, we painted the Mona Lisa about six hundred times, learned depressing stuff about old people, took photos of mundane household items and got recruited to run romance notes into the Paris catacombs. 01:39 am - ND: Danger By Design #7: Some Actual Puzzles Get Solved!
