There’s a crowdsourced google document that kind of outlines the chaos if you want to integrate components of that.
I went down the shakespeare rabbit hole because of the font from the newsletter letter matching the font from the shakespeare section of the newspaper post.
Thank you for sharing, Jennifer! Is this Google Doc private, or can I share this link on my web page?
not sure- I’ll message the original poster from the ND fb group and see
she gave you the go ahead! i sent her the link to this page too
Hooray! Thank you for checking! What’s the username or person’s name? I’d like to credit the creator properly.
Hi! I made the document originally and collected/organized the bulk of the notes, with additions made later on from the FB group, as well as some personal research notes. You can use my name, as it’s on the Google doc anyway: Emily Kovacs.
Awesome, thank you for you great work, friend! <3
[…] Nancy Drew: Mystery of the Seven Keys (TBD and NOT confirmed as the title) […]
Reddit user c_raftery had a great theory that I hadn’t read before! Thread here- https://www.reddit.com/r/nancydrew/comments/12ai9ip/theories/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1
I love this theory! Thank you for sharing! I have added this post to the page and linked to it.
Her Interactive put up a new video on their Instagram and twitter!!! in it, the person in the teaser, the hacker if you will types out a message first saying that they aren’t allowed to share any info right now, but then they delete it and say that they are working on a new Nancy Drew game! but the weird thing is that some of the letters in the first message are capitalized. Not counting the first capital of the message, the capital letters spell ALUT. I tried searching them on google, but they only brought stuff up about some association that has something to do with Islam
Edit: it spells SALUT, i missed the S the first time
Hi all! I’m replaying Midnight in Salem and in Lauren’s shop, there’s a photo above her herb mixing station that looks like a church with stained glass and it looks CGI… Maybe this is a screenshot of #34 hidden in MID???
Ooo, good eyes! I think that picture may be of the trains station in The Silent Spy, but I would have to check. Thanks for calling this out!
I was also really attracted to the lights in Lauren’s shop as well! I thought make to the lightbulb drawing in the newsletter too. I also wonder for the clue referring to a page from chores past, if this connects to a page in the book in the shop that you see when you do the tea mixing “chore”… if I remember right, I think there is a letter from Lauren’s mother…
Before they released the last puzzle, I kept wanting to cross off everything that Nancy HAD seen or done in the trivia answers.
Do you think there could be any connection to rudolf or Roanoke?
Maybe the chores past could just mean the “I haven’t done that yet”?
Literally grasping at straws 😂
I’m wondering the chores past mentioned has something to do with the tea you have to make for Minette in Danger by Design as it looks like the only trivia that has to do with chores is the question about calming Minette…
What do you think about Schloss Laxenburg as a location option? In the trivia questions, there’s a wrong answer of “Rudolf” which was the name of a royal who was connected to this castle near Vienna.
[…] Sin embargo, parece que los fanáticos son en gran medida optimistas sobre Nancy dibujó #34. Ya han comenzado a buscar pistas mientras revisan la comunicación oficial de HeR Interactive en busca de pistas sobre lo que podría presentar el juego más nuevo. ¿La teoría actual? Que el juego más nuevo se establecerá en Austria. […]
