greatly enjoying the idea that newspapers will be exactly the same 700 years from now except for a small font change in the header

I finally got my own copy of Secret of the Scarlet Hand and started playing it for the first time since my library stopped checking out computer games years ago. And wow I forgot how bad this museum is.

If you can't use stairs you can't see the museum.

There are no handrails or guardrails anywhere.

You have to be able to both read the signs and listen to the audio guide in order to get all the information.

Half the artifacts aren't labeled at all.

The only water fountain I've seen is behind the employees only door.

There are apparently no restrooms.

It's dimly lit meaning that it's hard to read the signs or look at the artifacts.

There's only one place to play each game, and you need to play each game to progress through the museum, which definitely causes backups.

What if a computer goes down?

The maze game would probably be a challenge for people like my dad who get motion sick.

There are no fire exits and half the pyramid relies on keycards to move on. In a fire, going all the way back up from the bottom just to go back down would be really time consuming.

Somebody's gonna accidentally leave their kid stuck on the wrong floor of the pyramid, I just know it.

There's not even any doors leading outside besides the front door and the loading dock. There should be an emergency exit in the garden at least.

The stairs where you need to use a glow stick to see are an accident waiting to happen. On my play-through Nancy DID fall down those stairs.

There's probably other things I've forgotten and I'm sure I'm not the first to point any of this out but seriously what is this museum but a problem waiting to happen?

#Also is it me or are there Aztec altar stones carved into the floor? That's not Maya.#Nancy Drew #Secret of the Scarlet Hand

Ok I have several questions about this absolute wild ending:

How did they come up with this poem/speech? Did they already know it was Taylor? Or was this a miracle of improvisation?

Did they seriously watch Nancy get trapped in a centuries old monolith and did absolutely nothing to help? Were they scared to get trapped? Or did they hide in the shadows and let Nancy get almost killed because they knew she’d get it done?

How would they have waited outside for Nancy to emerge? Like I can absolutely imagine them camping out.

And how did Henrik, who days prior had fallen dozen of steps and suffered a traumatic brain injury which resulted in memory loss, get out of the hospital so quickly? Did he take a field trip just for this occasion?

#honestly the first sector of the diagram i thought of is the 'breaking the hearts of fangirls half their age' one #and then it all spiraled from there #absolutely no one at all asked for this but me #i just think they're neat #tbh esteban has much more in common w/ henrik and bruno than either of them have w/ each other #and once the inevitable encanto 2 comes out; bruno will lose the 'only appears in 1 installment' commonality w/ henrik #altho tbf depending on what one considers canon; he may have already since he is in licensed encanto books #also sorry ppl have to zoom in so far to read #was not able to find a template where the connecting venn digram sectors were biggger than the circle as a whole #secret of the scarlet hand #less into bruno than the others but he is still a great character #henrik van der hune #clue crew #esteban flores #elena of avalor #bruno madrigal #encanto

learning the ‘press M for map’ trick for this stupid maze literally saved my life

#secret of the scarlet hand #ssh #cluecrewplaythru #nancy drew games #clue crew #the maze isn't *difficult* really but it's so ANNOYING that I want to punt my computer #probably the only part of this game I dislike

ssh - in the garden! in the garden!

Lápida de Dupaix - Palenque, 7th century CE; excavated in 1807; on display at the Museo Nacional de Antropologia, Mexico.

Yaxchilán Lintel 26 - Yaxchilán, 723 CE; excavated in 1897; on display at the Museo Nacional de Antropologia, Mexico.

Hauberg Stela - [???], 300-500 CE; first exhibited in 1970; on display at the Princeton University Art Museum, New Jersey (donated by John H Hauberg).

Yaxchilán Lintel 16 - Yaxchilán, 755-770 CE; excavated in 1880s; on display at the British Museum, UK.

Yaxchilán Lintel 25 - Yaxchilán, 725-760 CE; excavated in 1880s; on display in the British Museum, UK. (HERE is a really neat breakdown of the building 23 lintels, along with incredibly detailed pics!)

Backrest of a throne with a ruler, a courtier (probably a woman) and a deity in the center - Usumacinta River Valley (possibly Piedras Negras), Late Classic Period (600-909 CE); on display at the Museo Amparo, Mexico.

Calakmul Stela 51 - Calakmul, 731 CE; excavated in 1931; stolen in the 1960s when it was cut into pieces to ease transportation (if you zoom in at the link you can see the lines where the pieces have been reassembled); on display at the Museo Nacional de Antropologia, Mexico. (further info HERE)

Copán Alter G1 - Copán, 766 CE; excavated in the 1800s; replica (pictured above) on display outdoors in the Grand Plaza at the Copán ruins site, while the original can be seen inside the on-site Museo de Esculturas. Copán, Honduras. (the British Museum has some neat photos of the site at Copán and Alter G1 as it appeared in 1890/91, click ‘Related Objects’ to view them)

Presentation of Captives to a Maya Ruler - Usumacinta River Valley (possibly Yaxchilán), 785 CE; purchased on the art market in 1970; on display at the Kimbell Art Museum, Texas. (check out the paint that’s still visible on this one! that’s so cool!)

Yaxchilán Lintel 15 - Yaxchilán, 770 CE; excavated in 1880s; on display at the British Museum, UK. (note the similarities between this design and that of lintel 25 above!)

#colour me shocked but most of the general info re date and place of origin provided in game was correct! holy wow batman!#even more surprising - they're all about the size they ought to be?#that is legitimately so much better than i was expecting #not technically relevant but i did find a site with the specs to 3D print replicas of most of these #honestly i put this together ages ago when i desperately needed to look at something other than impressionist landscapes #and now it's ssh week so hey #here it is #nancy drew #clue crew #secret of the scarlet hand #ssh #nd art id
