New York City. But the pieces don’t add up, and Frank and Joe find themselves embroiled<br />

The Game Screen<br />
Interaction Icons<br />
The interaction icons represent the various interactions in which you may engage in<br />
during the game. Actions are context-sensitive, meaning that the icons will appear only<br />
at the appropriate time and/or place (e.g. the Talk icon will only appear when you are<br />
standing next to another person).<br />
Neutral icon: Indicates that no specific action is necessary at this time.<br />
Walk icon: Indicates that you may walk to a particular spot.<br />
Talk icon: Indicates that you may speak with the selected character.<br />
Look icon: Indicates that you may inspect an item more closely.<br />
Take icon: Indicates that you may take an item and add it to your inventory.<br />
Gear icon: Indicates that you may ‘use’ an item from your inventory.<br />
Back icon: Indicates that you may back-out of a close-up view.
Taskbar<br />
At any time during the game, the<br />
Taskbar can be accessed by moving<br />
your cursor to the top right of the<br />
game screen, at which point the<br />
Taskbar will appear.<br />
The Taskbar has the following<br />
options:<br />
Game Menu: This will take you to<br />
the Main Menu.<br />
Inventory: This will display the<br />
contents of your inventory.<br />
Cell Phone: This will allow you to<br />
call upon friends and family to lend a helping hand in solving the case – Even<br />
super-sleuth Nancy Drew!<br />
Character Select Mode: This allows you to choose whether you want to control Frank<br />
or Joe (Single Character Mode) or both Hardys (Dual Character Mode) at the same time.<br />
Travel Map: This will allow you to travel to other locations. Any destinations that are<br />
inaccessible are shaded grey. The Travel Map can also be accessed by clicking on the<br />
Hardys’ motorcycles.<br />
Inventory<br />
During your investigation, you will<br />
come across various objects that you<br />
will need to collect to help you<br />
throughout the game. These objects<br />
will be stored in your Inventory. To<br />
access your Inventory, you will need<br />
to select Inventory from the Taskbar<br />
or by right-clicking the mouse. Your<br />
Inventory will open. When an object<br />
is collected it will automatically be<br />
placed into one of the empty<br />
inventory slots in your Inventory. Use<br />
the arrows of your Inventory to<br />
scroll through the various inventory slots. Within your Inventory you may scroll over an<br />
object and a description will appear.<br />

Clicking on an item will select the item for use within the game. Since Frank and Joe<br />
can be controlled individually, certain items that Frank or Joe have picked up will not be<br />
accessible by the other character in “Single Character Mode”.<br />
Combining Inventory Objects<br />
There will be times during the game when inventory objects can be combined to create<br />
new items and tools. Within the inventory, one item may be dragged and dropped onto<br />
another to create a new item. Once assembled, an item may also be disassembled.<br />
When a puzzle requires multiple items, you may access your Inventory Menu, select an<br />
item and add it to the game screen. The Gear icon will appear when a puzzle containing<br />
such an action is possible. This may be repeated until all puzzle components have been<br />
added.<br />
The First 10 Minutes of the Game<br />
Previously On The Hardy Boys<br />
The opening comic presents the Hardy Boys in the final moments of their last heroic<br />
adventure. They narrowly escape two thugs breaking down the door and are now back at<br />
home...<br />
Chapter 1 – Business as Usual<br />
After Mrs. Hardy and the A.T.A.C. Agent’s dialogue, open your inventory and double-click<br />
on the package inside revealing the DVD disk which contains information on the Hardy<br />
Boys’ latest mission. Look at the TV stand and inspect the videogame console. Take the<br />
DVD from your inventory and place it in the videogame console. You are then briefed on<br />
your current mission – the theft at Spencer Mansion!<br />
Exit the bedroom and walk into the hallway. Go downstairs and try to sneak past Mrs.<br />
Hardy. She will catch you trying to sneak out and instruct you to go back upstairs. Walk<br />
over to the window at the end of the hallway and watch the short tutorial that explains<br />
how to control Frank and Joe.<br />
Choose Joe from the character icon and listen to the dialogue between Frank and Joe.<br />
Look at the window and click on the large tree so that Joe climbs down and out of the<br />
house. You’re now outside!<br />
Following a short cut-scene, Frank will be back in his bedroom. Select Joe again and<br />
move him near the front door of the house.
At the same time, move Frank near the stairs to the first floor, but do not go down.<br />
Using Joe, ring the doorbell on the left side of the door. As Mrs. Hardy goes to open the<br />
front door, select Frank and run down the stairs to grab the motorcycle keys in the large<br />
bowl at the bottom of the screen. Run Frank back upstairs quickly before Mrs. Hardy sees<br />
him!<br />
Controlling Frank, walk back into the bedroom and click on ‘Playback’ the parrot to pick<br />
him up. Look at the bedroom window beside Playback’s perch and go into your inventory<br />
and give the keys and the parrot to Joe. Select Joe in the character mode and use the<br />
keys that are now in his inventory to open the orange motorcycle compartment. Take the<br />
cell phone located inside the compartment.<br />
With Joe still selected, open the inventory and combine the cell phone with Playback.<br />
Exit the garage and click on the right upper window on the side of the house with your<br />
mouse. After Frank appears in the window, go into your inventory and give the parrot<br />
icon with the cell phone to Frank.<br />
Controlling Frank, approach the TV and look at the power bar on the right side with the<br />
cell phone chargers lying on the floor. Go into your inventory and separate the parrot<br />
and the cell phone by double-clicking on the icon. Select the cell phone from your<br />
inventory and click on a cell phone charger. Listen to the dialogue between Frank and his<br />
father on the phone and then with his mother.<br />
Chapter 2…<br />
Good luck in the rest of your investigation!<br />
