I love the day/night system in Nancy Drew games especially because not all the games have it. Some cases Nancy solves in one day, or just a few. Sometimes it takes her months. You never know until Nancy finds out if she has access to an alarm clock next to the bed she was given.

19, 17 and 14 for the ask game

I'M SO SORRY TUMBLR DID NOT TELL ME I GOT AN ASK ON THIS BLOG 😭

19: What character would you want as a plush/Funko Pop/action figure? Bess and George 100% (bonded pair, do not separate). Although other then them? I wouldn't say no to a Jenna Deblin or Katie Firestone. Or Professor Hotchkiss tbh.

17: Which game takes place in a single day that you wish had a day/night cycle? Honestly I love the day/night systems so much it used to be my favorite thing to just go and sleep for weeks on end whenever I was stuck. The only one I think could have really been more interesting with a day/night cycle would have possibly been RAN, but I don't think Bess would have survived the months it would have taken for child me to save her 😔. But the idea of exploring a spooky island at night with no one else around sounds fun tbh. Like DOG but. More.

14: A one-off phone character you wish came back in other games. Hmmmm. The phone characters do usually have pretty big personalities... let me think... I think it would have been fun for Miles to come back in some way outside of CAR, it makes sense why he didn't though. Honestly Minette would have been fun to see, but um. I guess it would be hard for her to call. From prison and all. But tbh I think Nancy should have had a Fashion related emergency and needed a moderately reformed Minette to help her out.

Spotlight on the Ghostwriters: Margaret Scherf (1908-1979), who wrote “The Secret of the Wooden Lady”. She wrote detective novels, was an editor, an antiques store manager, and had a passion for politics that led her to run as a Democratic representative and elected to the Montana legislature.

From Open Library at https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL1858937A/Margaret_Scherf:

Margaret Scherf, born in Fairmont, West Virginia, was an American author of detective novels, editor and politician. The daughter of a college professor, she was raised in the states of New Jersey and Wyoming, before her family settled in Cascade, Montana. In 1928, she ended her studies at Antioch College in Ohio to work as a secretary with a publisher in New York. The following year, she left this job and worked part-time as a secretary for a magazine and, the rest of the time, as an editor for the Wise Book Company.

During World War II, she served as Secretary of the Navy in Brooklyn. At the same time, she decided to start writing. Her first detective novel, The Corpse Grows a Beard, was published to success in 1940. After the war, she became a full-time writer and returned to Montana. She married the owner of a cherry orchard, then bought and managed an antiques store, while continuing to publish. Her passion for politics led her to run as a Democratic representative and she was elected to the Montana legislature.

During her literary career, she published whodunits known for their mischievous and humorous, even burlesque, side. She also wrote several novels of children's and youth literature, including a volume in the Nancy Drew series, The Secret of the Wooden Lady (1950), under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene.

guys im feeling crazy noticing this for the first time after playing this game for YEARS as a child. i guess i never looked at the PDA enough

i read this and thought huh. why did she say point the dog to the correct living room wall instead of point the dog in the right direction?? isn't part of the puzzle determining which direction equals which symbol by going back and forth between the clock and the dogs? .....then i looked at the walls....

each wall has one of the symbols standing out more than the others in the wallpaper....ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????
