Notice: You only need to use the discs once, which is when you are installing the game. From then on you can just click the icon on the desktop, and your game will load! Nancy has a backpack, which stores important items, a journal, which provides clues and phone numbers, a task list, which helps you if you’re stuck on what to do next, and Nancy’s phone, which you can call Bess, George, Savannah, Yumi and yourself. Have fun!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nancy’s Room: You start off in Nancy’s bedroom. You can read the ‘How to be a Detective’ book, Nancy’s scrapbook, and the case file. When you are ready to start the mystery, simply click on the plane ticket!

Starting the mystery: You start off the case walking in to the ryokan. Nancy automatically talks to Miwako and Takae. The picture frame on the wall starts to move, and suddenly it falls. Takae is furious, and leaves. Talk to Miwako and she gives you a room key, labeled Room 24. Ask her about the robotic cat and she says Rentaro gave it to her. Ask her about the portrait and what a ryokan is, too. And finally, when you question her mother, she ignores Nancy. But why? Go to the corner and inspect the fire pit. Miwako won’t let Nancy near, guess we’ll have to come back later. Go over to the portrait, but Miwako says it is dangerous with the broken glass. Pan over the corner with the table and chairs and read about the rock garden. Pan to other corner and read about Ghost Stories of Japan. Go over to Miwako’s desk and notice how many people are staying at the ryokan and look at the hours Miwako stays at her desk. Now let’s go to the hallway next to the desk. Nancy’s phone rings, it’s Bess. Tell her everything you can so far, and continue on your adventure. Make a left down the hallway and to the farthest room on your right, the cultural room. Takae will talk to Nancy and tell her she will be learning katakana today.

Katakana: Start by grabbing the brush in the top right corner and carefully tracing the lines with your mouse from 1 to 15. It takes practice and patience, so don’t worry if you mess up a lot at first! If you go outside the lines you’ll have to start over. Click on a paper on the top to restart. Ask her if she’s always been at the ryokan, and she says yes. Then ask if she’s always offered classes, she says it’s new. We can’t do much with Takae in the room, but you can go over to the corner and see a chest with a book about calligraphy. Exit the room and turn around to the other main hallway. Turn right on the bottom hallway and click on the only door with the blue banner. Whoa, didn’t expect that to happen!

Clumsy Rentaro: Rentaro only talks to you for a minute, but we can chat later with him. Haha,he tripped!!!

Nancy’s hotel room: Turn around and turn right up the top hallway. Nancy’s room is #24. Use the key and enter. Make a sharp right and open the closet door with her suitcase. Pick up the FASCA card located near the top left. Also pick up the English/Japanese Phrasebook. Go to the corner of the room with the flower. Click on the Ryokan Hiei folder and read the flyer. Next, pick up the green tote. These are the papers you’ll need to grade for the kids. Click on the Japan Teacher Exchange brochure and read about the classes. Read the Student Bios in the file. Click on the What’s Your Name file to grade. Click the appropriate stamp on the left and put a stamp to the right of their name and the rest to the left. Click paper to grade the next one.

Garden:Go back downstairs and use the doors next to Miwako’s desk in the main entry room to precede to the garden. Turn right and keep going forward until you see a brown shed. Talk to Rentaro. He gives you a Puzzle Book. Ask him about Takae and Miwako liking Suki. Then ask him what he’s building. Turn around from the shed and look in your inventory to start the puzzle.

Puzzles from Rentaro: Basically what you have to do in this puzzle is have each row and column shaded by the designated number above or beside it. For example, let’s say there are a 1 and a 2 in the first row. You have to click to shade in one block for the 1 and two blocks for the 2, but there must be a space in between them to show a different group. If you’re still confused, use the picture below:

Return it to Rentaro. He gives you a sudoku puzzle to do now. This I’ve actually done before, but what you do is enter a number in each blank square that cannot repeat in each row, column, and 3x3 square.

Report back to Rentaro (again!) and he gives you yet another puzzle! This one is called renograms. Yeesh! If you’ve played Trail of the Twister with Frosty’s camera, you’ll know what this is like. You need to make a string of numbers starting with 1. They have to touch either diagonally, next to, above or below. Here’s the solution:

If it’s too late, go back to your room. Enter the ryokan and overhear Miwako arguing with a guest. Set your phone alarm for 2 AM. Go downstairs to the lobby and check out Miwako’s desk. Notice Suki and say to her ‘Suki, tate.’ She will beg. Try to grab the wooden box on Miwako’s desk and get a very angry cat! I guess we’ll just have to do that later.. Click on the computer and find out you need a password to log on. Only problem is, it’s in Japanese!!! Turn around and look over at the back wall. There’s a key card puzzle but you’re missing one of the cards. Read the clipboard and learn about the key card puzzle. Go back to your room for now and go to sleep. Set your alarm for 7:30 or so. In the middle of the night, Nancy sees a shadow on the wall. Creepy! Click on the screen door to see what was there and notice the screen just tore. Look outside and Nancy says she thought it was just her imagination. She’s probably just tired..

A New Day: Wake up and grade the Family papers. Exit and your phone rings. Talk to Bess and George and keep
