You’re not truly playing a Nancy Drew computer game until you approach every door, drawer, and handle with reckless abandon - clicking repeatedly as if Nancy saying “it’s locked!” will change if you press down just so. But as we all know, without a key you “Can’t check that off yet!” and so the mystery continues.

Stay sharp there, detective! Upon completion of these socks, you can in fact here Nancy say “Check!” as she presses a tick mark on her task list next to this project :)
