#NANCY DREW THE CAPTIVE CURSE BELLS PUZZLE SERIES#

Slowly Nancy uncovers more about her, when Renate tells her a story about a young girl staying at the castle a long time ago (when there were dark forces surrounding the castle). Renate is often very secretive and frequently avoids Nancy's questions. When Nancy snoops in her bag, she finds a map that details where monster attacks have taken place. It is soon suggested by other characters that Renate always stays at the castle when there are monster sightings. Renate knows a lot about the castle's history and especially the monster sightings. She is an older woman who works a story teller. In the banquet room Nancy meets Renate Stoller. She soon learns that the real reason she was asked to come to the castle is to cast her in the role of the new victim of the monster (with someone using the monster legend for their own purposes). Nancy eventually finds the locket buried in the woods. One of the first victims was apparently the daughter of the Freiherr (a sort of land lord), whose portrait hangs in the castle. As history goes the monster searches for a young girl as his victim. A locket does play a large game in 'The Captive Curse' as well.

#NANCY DREW THE CAPTIVE CURSE BELLS PUZZLE SERIES#

Ned has given Nancy a locket in the 18th game of the series 'The Phantom of Venice'. Frank says he is happy they are back together, but noticeably hesitates just before saying that. These speculations were fueled by a conversation Nancy has with Frank after she reconciles with Ned. The fight scene has led to much speculation among Nancy Drew fans that Nancy might be romantically linked with Frank Hardy instead of Ned. This is a link to the next game in the series 'Alibi in Ashes', where Ned and Nancy form a team with their friends Bess and George to participate in the Clues Challenge held in their home town of River Heights.

Nancy tells him she likes him just the way he is and that they might very well work on a mystery together. He says he wants to try a more edgier persona, like buying a motorcycle or returning a library book at the wrong branch.

Ned tries to find more mystery in his life (so far he has only solved the case of the missing keys, they were in his pocket). Eventually things get patched up between Ned and Nancy. Nancy talks to Frank about the situation and suggests she rather plays detective than having one of those relationship talks. Apparently Ned is very upset and has to be consoled by Joe Hardy (the other Hardy Boy). Nancy is soon called by Frank Hardy, one of the Hardy Boys (detective friends of Nancy). The call ends with Ned hanging up angry and refusing to answer the phone for quite a while. While Ned is usually pretty helpful and supportive during the games (often appearing as a phone friend), he is apparently a little fed up with Nancy going off adventuring all over the world, while he has to stay at home. Since Nancy is on a case, it has to be canceled. He does tell her he has a romantic getaway planned for them. Nancy can hardly hear him, as there is pretty bad cell phone reception at the castle. Nancy's trip to Germany does not really start well. The object for that player is to kill as many cows as possible, while the farmer tries to locate the monsters as soon as possible (by looking at which cows move after a cow was killed). The players that is the monster hides three of them in a herd of cows. In this game the two players play either the farmer or the monster. Nancy can usually find him in the lobby, where he challenges her to a game called 'Monster'. He is very fond of pranks, usually targeting Karl (since he is so good at noticing). Nancy later learns that Lukas is the son of the head of security at the castle and a very mischievous child (Karl refers to him as the castle's other monster). After passing this test, Lukas wants to give her another test, but fails to do so, as the mayor of the castle community, Karl Weschler, arrives and chases him away. A bucket is lowered containing a game where Nancy has to match two monsters that are the same from a row of monsters. When she rings the bell, someone called Lukas calls out to her and refuses to let her in, unless she passes a test. She also finds the gate closed (luckily no monster drags her off). The scene then moves to the present day with Nancy arriving at the castle gate. When she arrives at the castle gate, she finds it closed and is then dragged off by the monster. The opening sequence shows the player a scene from the past where a young girl picking herbs is chased by a monster. Apparently the monster has been spotted near the castle grounds for centuries, returning to the woods again after finding a new victim.

Nancy has been asked to investigate a series of monster sightings at the German Castle Finster by its owner, Markus Boehm.
