Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand Walkthrough
12 sections
about 17 minutes to read
August
2002
This
walkthrough is written for junior and senior detective modes.
If this is your first time playing a Nancy Drew game try the tutorial
on the cd-rom. This game is non-linear but certain things have
to be done before you can proceed. For example, you can do the
activities in the temple, but you won’t be able to get past the last
quiz question. It is easier to finish all your tasks in the
lab first. The only difference that I could see between the
junior and senior detective mode is that the maze is harder when you
play as a senior detective.
Nancy
is working for the Beech Hill museum in Washington, DC, as a deputy
curator. This is an internship position, which her dad’s friend,
Franklin Rose, helped her get. Beech Hill museum is closed now
and getting ready for an Ancient Mayan Culture exhibit.
Nancy
meets Joanna Riggs…. In the exhibit hall. She shows Nancy the
jade carving of King Pacal. Later they talk in her office and
she tells Nancy there is a list of tasks she would like done on Nancy’s
desk in the lab. Before you leave Joanna’s office, look at the
magazines on the round table in the corner. Look at “Art in
the America’s”. Click on the paragraph about Rutherford on page
28. Nancy will say, “ Topeka Commission for the Arts…how cultured!”
Now you can look through the rest of the article.
Before
going to the lab take a look around the lobby of the museum.
Leave the office and turn around to view the plaques on each side
of Joanna’s office door. Especially look at the plaque on the
right side that lists the major contributors and click on the bottom
section where it lists Lady Prudence Rutherford and the Topeka Commission
for the Arts. Nancy will say, “Topeka Commission for the Arts
– that’s the organization Prudence Rutherford works for!”
Go
to the admission desk and look at the map. (Notice some of the
glyphs and their translations. It will be useful later. )
Go
around the other side of the admission desk and look in the drawer.
Take the Temple Key card
Notice
there is a knob missing on the doors to the headphones.
Go
out towards the double golden doors, but turn to your left and go
into the alcove. Pick up the paper that is folded into an airplane.
You will need this later to finish task #3.
The
double doors lead to the Metro station. The red dots show where
you can go at this time.
The
Colonial Hotel is where Nancy is staying. Her laptop is there
and contains her notes about what she has done and what she needs
to do next. This is very helpful if you get stuck and don’t
know what to do. Later as you pick up Sonny’s floppy disk and
Henrik’s disk you can access the information from Nancy’s computer.
You
can also call her friends, Bess and George, for help. Use the
alarm clock if you have to change times.
Time
to get to work! Go to the LAB…
To
find the lab, go all the way through the main exhibit hall and veer
right before you get to the pyramid. Go through the door that
says “Employees Only” and then take the door to your right that says
“LAB”.
LAB
Nancy’s
desk is the one on the left facing the door. Find the list of
tasks. Open the top drawer on the right and look at Sonny Joon’s
notebook. Look at the candy wrapper. Pick up the loose knob.
(looks like it might fit on the glass cabinet in the lobby).
Look along the counter at the Spectro X analyzer. Click on the
switch and Nancy will say, “ I better get permission first.”
Look at Henrik’s desk and also the ham radio.
#4. Order
Bubble wrap, packing tape, sticky labels. (easy to do first)
Look at the list of suppliers next to the
phone and call Silvio’s Curatorial Bonanza
At 555-9963. Talk to Silvio and try
ordering more packing supplies. Your account
number is BH119K.
Before
leaving the lab to do task #3 which is a PRIORITY, talk with Henrik.
Ask about his work, monolith translations, etc. Ask about the
order for packing material and he will absolve you from that task.
Ask for advice.
Leave
the lab and go to the Mexican Consulate to finish task #3. Make
sure you have found the Monolith Loan Agreement. It is that
airplane folded paper in the alcove of the lobby. Talk with
Alejandro del Rio. When you finish return to the museum and
use the knob you found on the glass cabinet to get a pair of headphones.
Go back to the lab and cross of task #3.
#1. Sort
out shards of pottery and re-assemble pot (at lab work station)
You need to find 2 missing pieces first.
One is in the box labeled Sonny’s “Stuff”
located on a shelf in Shipping and Receiving across the hall from
the Lab. The
other piece can be found in a bowl on the
top floor of the pyramid.
After
finding both missing pieces go to the work station in the lab.
Click on the pottery pieces
and all 7 pieces will show up on the right side. Place your
cursor over either side of the black turntable until it changes to
a curved arrow. This will turn the vase and make it easier to
place the pieces. When all the pieces stick in place you will
know it is done and Nancy will say, “That’s done!” Now you can
cross this task off your list.
#5.
Match recorded narrations…
Henrik will give you some help on how to do this if you ask him.
This is what he says:
There
is a picture of how the exhibits are lettered on the Auto Narrator
in Sonny’s
notebook.
Using
your head phones, go to each of the exhibits in the main hall
and also in the garden.
Listen to the exhibit and check to see if the audio matches with the
exhibit. If it doesn’t you need to change it on the Convomatic
Auto Narrator located in the Shipping Receiving room. When they
are arranged correctly Nancy will say, “That’s done!” Cross
that task off your list and you will have only one more to do.

#6. Reorder
Mayan number exhibit in main exhibition hall.
You will need to find two tiles first.
One is located in the main exhibition hall in the glass case in the
section “Who Were the Maya?” Click on the key hole to
open the glass case. The other tile is located in the garden
section on the Bicephalic Altar.
Once
you have those tiles, go to the end of the Language section in the
main exhibition hall. Click on the key hole to open the case.

in the lower right hand slot of her laptop. The password
is koko kringle. Under Stuff to
Remember you will find Sonny’s I’d rather be counting sheep guide

and the two tiles you are ready to complete the task and mark it off
your list.
Under
Stuff to forget you will find the system login: and system password
for the TEMPLE MAZE puzzle.
Stuff
to do will have added information for the Convomatic Narrations.
Go to the GARDEN
While
you are checking the narrations on the exhibits in the garden, look
at the monolith. Examine it closely by clicking on it
and Nancy will say, “This side looks damaged.” You will hear
footsteps. Step back and you will meet Sinclair. Talk
to him and he will tell you to meet him at his office. That
site will be added to the metro map.
After
finishing all your tasks, talk with Joanna in her office. Go
to Sinclairs and ask him why he said Beech Hill is in jeopardy.
Before
going back to Beech Hill, stop off at the Mexican Consulate and talk
with Alejandro again. Go back to the lab and notice that Henrik
is not there. As you leave the lab an alarm will go off and
Joanna will tell you the police are on their way. You are at
the crime scene and will see a paper with a scarlet hand print on
it where the jade carving used to be. Talk with Joanna and then
go back to the crime scene to take the note with the hand print.
Go
back to the lab. Henrik is not there but he left a note for
you on the desk.
Check
your voice mail. Call Franklin Rose at 555-1441.
Talk
with Joanna. She tells you to analyze the hand print.
Go back
to lab
Analyze
the scarlet hand print on the note.
Use
the note with the scarlet hand print on the Spectro X Archaeo-Analyzer

Nancy will say, “So the hand print was
made from mercury and sulfur.”
Tell Joanna about your results.
Return to lab.
Look at the Vendors list next to the
phone and call Keep it Real. (555-6766)
Talk with Mack.
Leave the lab and walk into the garden.
Go in about 5 or 6 steps on either side of the temple and then turn
around. Go toward the front of the temple and Henrik will fall
down the stairs.
An ambulance will come to take Henrik to the hospital
and you will be back in your hotel room talking with Bess.
By this time you should have analyzed the Red Handprint in the machine
in the lab, and listened to your voicemail. You should also
have called 555-6766 for the Mercury-Sulfur shipment.
