Intro

Nancy Drew: The Silent Spy takes place in Scotland, and other than atrocious Scottish accents, its one of my favorite Nancy Drew games in the series.

Here is a guide on how to get all of the End Game Awards for The Silent Spy. One amazing feature HER added for this one is the capability to see your awards throughout the game. Once you have achieved one, the Menu button changes to a trophy and you can click on it to see which one you got. You can also see your list of awards at any time by clicking on the Menu button and clicking the icon of the trophy to bring you to your own trophy room.

Aerialist

Ride the Zip Line at least 10 times – I had to just keep riding the zip line until the awards popped up

Bomb Expert

At the end of the game, disarm the final bomb so that exactly 1:30 (Amateur Sleuth) or 1:00 (Master Sleuth) remains on the clock

I actually finished this ahead of time and just waited for the clock to hit exactly the time I needed for the achievement. I’d also recommend saving right before you go into the last (3rd) disarming challenge, so if you miss it, you can just go right back and try again without having to do the first two again.

Egged

Find at least one of the three Easter Eggs in the game:

Wylie: This is by far the prettiest egg I’ve seen so far in the games! This egg is in Nancy’s safe, but only if you enter 4133 as the combination (That number was shown on the box for “Alibi in Ashes” as Nancy’s prisoner number).

Scotch Egg: This egg is found in Locker 44, but you won’t see it until you open the locker three times. You have to pay each time, so you need 6 pounds to get the egg.

Her?: This egg, which is a plain white egg with an arrow through it, can be found by playing FDCECABEEF on the bagpipes in the training center.

Gastronaut

Buy at least one of every food at the deli. As a heads up, this will cost you a total of 61 pounds.

Golden Archer

Play at least seven rounds of archery. Try to beat the highscores of Kate and Moira!

Piper

Play the bagpipes at least 11 times. This means playing them, clicking away from them, and playing again. Rise and repeat until the award shows up. You also don’t need to play any specific notes, just a honk will do.

Souvenir

Buy every item in the souvenir machine, which will cost you around 250 pounds. They’ll be in a green bag in your inventory afterwards, if you want to look at them and see if you’re missing anything.

A few of the souvenirs won’t be available until later on (the blue Scotland flag mug for instance wasn’t available in the beginning of the game, but was available later). Just keep checking for the ones that you are missing.

Spoiler Free

Complete the game without using any spoilers. You can still read through the hints in the task list, but just don’t all the way through to the one that tells you the answers.

Spy

Put on the spy glasses 30 or more times. The easiest/fastest way to do this one is stand in some neutral spot and just click rapidly on the glasses to put them on and off rapidly.

Treasure Hunter

Find at least 25 coins that are hidden throughout the game.

Full list of where they show up at the end of this guide.

Trivia Tamer

Correctly answer the trivia question at the end of the game.

Unlocker

Open all of the available (with a green light) lockers in the train station. This will cost you 30 pounds total.

Coin Locations

Here is a full list of locations for the coins throughout the game. If you don’t see one, try either going away and coming back to the scene or hovering around the expected area until you see your microscope.
