Today's Newsletter!! New Game is Coming

[pintopalomino]

There's also the words MASTER SLEUTH spelled out in the key puzzle. So many clues, but no answers! Why is there no smiley for dramatically falling to the floor in exasperation?! <-- This is a good substitution.

[Obi-kan77]

Maybe every seven hours for The Mystery of the Seven Keys… (Idk if anyone has said this yet lol)

[pintopalomino]

Obi-kan77, that's exactly my thoughts!! Also, I've been pondering the mention of another detective... I'm actually feeling like this is quote worthy of a character... Possibilities? It would have to be a returning character... My thoughts are Deirdre, Frank, Joe... Maybe Ned, or Bess or George...?

[SleuthingSavvy]

pintopalomino, I didn’t think of Deirdre! That could be. The line, if it is a line, feels almost cocky to me. Could definitely be her. I almost hope it’s not, but that’d be ok if it was. I could also kinda see Joe saying this, under certain circumstances in a certain tone. Not that I’m overanalyzing. I saw some people saying Tino Balducci. Which... I wouldn’t be mad about it if it was, but I don’t expect it.

The puzzle is another one of the ones where you have to spiral out from the center and count the letters! Only thing is… now I’m too tired to figure out how many letters they expect us to skip Questioning my judgement setting an alarm for this time. However, now we know for sure that they’re posting a puzzle every seven hours! Okay, heading back to bed!

Edit: Okay, now that it’s morning and I can actually think… got it! Last night I was looking for clues in the photo like last time, but now…

‘every seven’.

Here’s the solution if you want!

“She knows many of my friends and all of my flaws”

Again, not sure what to think here. Any theories?
The open book page in the background, the word Midnight looks like it’s in a different color?
(Also-the anagram in the caption of the post reads ‘Time will tell’. I think we’ve all said or thought that recently!)

Last puzzle before the countdown ends!
I can kind of remember these quotes, but I'm not sure on most of them. Anyone know any?

1. First? I think it's Debbie from TOT, talking about the mice.
2. Not sure...
3. Midnight? My mind goes to the ghost hunting puzzle from CUR.
4. no clue!
5. Not sure either. The obvious is "of"
6. I think this is Nancy talking about Tino in ICE. Case? Mystery?
7. Pacific Run? I don't remember

We should put a game like this in the House of Games forum, so we are ready next time!

Here is a spoiler of the answer to the last puzzle:

Next [said by Scott from TOT], At [Miwako from SAW], Midnight, [I think it's from the computer in CUR], Zone [Katie from DDI], Of [Gunnar from SEA], Case [Nancy from ICE], and Location [from the announcer from MED]. Again, the answer is: next at midnight zone of case location. The countdown on the new webpage is over at midnight in Prague, where the game 34 might take place!

[Obi-kan77]

Thirty minutes left!

[QueenofSpades]

Mystery of the Seven Keys, it's official!!

[Obi-kan77]

Yayyyy!!!!!! (I am a little bit disappointed though, they didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already suspect and they didn’t give a release date😢)

[QueenofSpades]

Yeah, I would love to see a release date, too. I'm happy they confirmed the title and location though!!

[pintopalomino]

Obi-kan77, I'm definitely feeling some of the disappointment! I don't want to be a negative Nancy (Like my pun? Ha!) , but the latest video is slightly underwhelming... All the clues being dropped so quickly in succession just to read secret messages that have no bearing on if the video is dropped or if we can view it... I dunno. It's hard for me to even have time to solve them, let alone checking for the clues to be posted somewhere. Then only to find out the title and location... I mean, it's cool to have it confirmed! But.... What now?

[Obi-kan77]

It was kind of disappointing, and it could be the end of the puzzles, but I hope not. They could keep doing the puzzles and maybe eventually get another’s countdown to a release date…

[mdetective12]

If I'm remembering correctly, one of the employees said on discord that it's not the end of the puzzles. They're just having a break! We have been getting puzzles a lot the past week and I think we all need to have a break from solving puzzles!

We also have been getting a video every Friday so I hope this is not the end of the puzzles. I don't think they are done with revealing a little more of the new game.

[SleuthingSavvy]

Hmm. Well, no release date yet, but yay! Title is confirmed! I'm ok with the size of the reveal. I would have liked to see a release date, or even a 'coming summer 2023' or something, but that's ok! The outside area is beautiful! I hope we get to see a lot of it. Nancy's new voice is definitely growing on me.

I do wonder about that 7 in the caption though. Is it a hint to the release date? I feel like it probably means something, but I don't know what. It would be fitting for the game to release on the 7th of a month. As far as which month... I'm not sure! I know their current extension on the trademark goes until October. Not that it's a huge ordeal for them to extend it again, but I'm hoping that we get the game before then. Overall, I'm excited, I'm glad for the little break in the puzzles, and I can't wait for the next update!

I think that its great that a new Nancy Drew game is coming. This game may be a download with no cd's. What is strange is that its been, what 4 years!!! No explanation, no apology, nothing. Surely, Her Interactive owes the fans some explanation.🙂
