A question about The Final Scene basement safe puzzle...
I recently started my first play through of "The Final Scene" and for the first time ever in a Nancy Drew game I had to turn to the internet for help. I interviewed every person, called every number, and even got hints from Bess which I've never had to do lol.
Long story short I knew about the safe puzzle in the basement (and had all the gears in my inventory) but had just assumed that I didn't have the clue or pattern necessary to solve it yet so I backburnered it. I searched everywhere for card suits but didn't see any other than in the "Guess the card" game also located in the basement.
SPOILERS AHEAD
My question is : why are you supposed to set all of the symbols to a spade? Is there a clue to this somewhere? I looked at a couple walkthroughs but none of them mention how this info is found.
I haven't yet finished the game but it seems that I have everything I need to progress smoothly now. This one has a much different vibe than I am used to. A lot more phone calling and interviewing suspects with less puzzles and searching. I like the theater setting, though it does feel a bit small compared to other ND games.
Thanks for your help!
