Today, I finally finished playing Labyrinth of Lies, the 31st installment in the Nancy Drew Mystery game series. When I attempted to play it before, I became trapped in Hades. Now that I have the Universal Hint System at my disposal, I was able to come and go through this game without any problems at all. I got to expose all of the criminals in this game. That was totally fun.

I have now successfully completed all 32 of the original Nancy Drew Mystery PC Games. I have every one of them on a game CD so I will have them forever. I started playing them when I was attending graduate school at Cal State Dominguez Hills from 2004 to 2007. Every time I completed a semester, I would buy another game or two etc. I wanted to grow my collection and eventually have all of them.

I am still waiting to play Midnight in Salem, #33. I may have to do a minor upgrade on my Panasonic Toughbook to get this game to work. Still waiting to hear back from the game publisher Her Interactive about that. I have to have Windows 10 to play the latest game, #34, Mystery of the 7 Keys. I am not sure if I will ever play that one. Knowing me though, I will probably have what it takes to play this one someday too.

My Nancy Drew history goes so far back with me. I remember when I was in 2nd grade at Benito Juarez Elementary School in Anaheim, talking with my friends about the Nancy Drew mystery books I was reading. I would go to the public library back then and check them out, one after another. I always seemed to love those Nancy Drew mysteries.

Nowadays, I don’t like mysteries at all. In fact, I am exposing every mystery that was ever created about me. Nancy Drew cannot control me anymore. My Universe is making sure that I finish all of those games and purge that setup completely. Nothing is stopping me now.

I attended 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade here. I was so suppressed and in the dark about who I really was. I was never told the truth. Now, I am uncovering everything about me. The Kaplans cannot control me anymore. I am far away from them. I am back home where I am doing the things I was meant to do. They cannot do anything to me ever again.

I am not a Nancy Drew Mystery anymore.
