From #8 till now, Nancy can earn awards from her favorite sleuthing magazine, Sassy Detective. The awards are based on her actions during the game. This is a list of them.

Warning: Some of these awards have SPOILERS. This page is designed to showcase all the awards after one has completed a game. Looking at the awards before finishing a game may affect your experience.

Some of the awards require the players to find an Easter Egg, some of them require finding lots of coins, and some require finding the phone charms in the Bonus Editions. If you get stuck on what to do about those, consult the linked lists.

Messages[]

Nancy gets an email from Sassy Detective in The Haunted Carousel that describes some of the awards.

Sassy Detective Tip 58

How a detective goes about solving a case is dictated by his or her personal style. Take our quick survery and see what type of detective you are. If there were:

A Magellan Award, you'd win it, because you like to tackle a mystery by going absolutely everywhere you can and seeing absolutely everything there is to see in places related to the crime.

A Face_to_Face Award, you'd take it home, because there's nothing you like better than to interview suspects in person. If they have information, then by golly, you're going to get it out of them!

A Phone_to_Face Award, you'd get it, because you prefer gathering the facts over the phone. The only thing you like better than having someone's phone number, is using it.

A Nine Lives Award, you'd get it, because you're not afraid to take risks. You know that all setbacks are only temporary. There's no bigger believer in second chances than you.

A Puzzle Master Award, they'd give it to you, becuase puzzles don't puzzle you at all. The harder they are, the better you like it and the faster you solve them. Puzzles are your life.

A Tenacity Award, you'd never let it go, because even if it takes you days, weeks, even months to crack a case, you keep coming back until it's solved.

An Avid Reader Award, you'd win it, because you read everything you find in the course of your investigation. Books, letters, magazines, diaries - nothing is safe from your hungry eyes!

An Open to Suggestions Award, it would be yours, because you see nothing wrong with asking other people what they think you should do next in order to solve a case. Two or more brains are better than one, you always say.

Sassy Awards[]

Sassy Awards are the first tier awards that are used from The Haunted Carousel till The White Wolf of Icicle Creek.

Unlike Meta Awards or Trophy Awards, it will only show one award.

List of Games used on:

The Haunted Carousel[]

Danger on Deception Island[]

The Secret of Shadow Ranch[]

Unused[]

Curse of Blackmoor Manor[]

Secret of the Old Clock[]

Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon[]

Danger by Design[]

Cheating/Editing (Only for Sassy Awards)[]

Also note that if you want to see the awards for yourself and not on this page, you can go into the program files or the files directly on the CD, go into the video folder and use a program like Bink that will open them to view the awards. They will have "LED_" before their name. The Haunted Carousel and Danger on Deception Island have files extensions unique to the games, so they may not be opened. However, there is a way to cheat so that the award you want can show up at the end of the game. First, have a game saved on the "Hey, Sassy Detective!" screen that precedes the award. Then go into the program files for the game (from "Local Disc C" on the computer) and find the awards in the video files of the game. If not all of them are there, copy them directly from the CD files. Now, for example, if you win the Aracari award a lot in that saved game and you want the Avid Reader award, you can rename the file "LED_Aracari" to "LED_Aracari2" and the file "LED_AvidReader" to "LED_Aracari". That way, when the game tries to take you to the Aracari award, it will redirect you to the Avid Reader scene. Just make sure to undo all the changes you've made to the video files after you see the awards you want, or else your game could really be screwed up and lead to the completely wrong scene, or nowhere at all and crash if it can't find one since you renamed it.

Meta Awards[]

Meta Awards are the second tier awards that are used from Legend of the Crystal Skull till Tomb of The Lost Queen.

Unlike Sassy Awards or Trophy Awards, it displays all the awards in the end and getting all the awards will unlock more outtakes. It also added a new achievement called "Trivia Tamer" for which you must answer the trivia question correctly.

All games from #18 till #29 except Secrets Can Kill: Remastered and Alibi in Ashes have outtakes.

The ones the player has received will simply have a red checkmark beside them.


List of Games used on:

Special Edition

The Special Edition games also have an extra award and even more outtakes for earning all thirteen.

Trophy Awards[]

TrophyTracker

In game 28, the Trophy Tracker icon was added to the In-Game Menu. Clicking on it would allow the player to review the trophies they had earned, but not be able to read the descriptions. Also, an "Awards" section was added at the top of the Extras section in the Main Menu which would lead to the same screen and display the trophies won in all game files.

Trophy icon
Description

A description of an award.


Trophy Awards are the third tier awards that are used from The Deadly Device till Sea of Darkness.

Unlike Meta Awards or Sassy Awards, the awards will now have their trophies and can be viewed on the menu or during the gameplay except The Deadly Device.

The awards are presented as trophies. They are transparent and gray if they were not obtained, but are solid and in full color if they are obtained. Hovering the cursor over the title of the award, whether they are obtained or not, will give their description.

Starting with Ghost of Thornton Hall, the trophies could be seen while playing the game and unlocked during gameplay, but the descriptions could not be seen until the game was finished or the trophy was obtained. An icon in the in-game menu would take the player to all trophies unlocked in the game, whether it was saved or not. An "Awards" section at the top of "Extras" on the Main Menu was also added for the same purpose. Obtaining a trophy in the game would cause the Menu button to quickly light up with a trophy, and the Trophy Tracker icon in the in-game menu would be lit up until clicked on. However, in order to obtain all the outtakes, all the awards would still have to be earned in one save file before completing it.

Starting with The Shattered Medallion, there are no longer any outtakes, so all the trophies do not necessarily have to be obtained in one save file, but can be obtained once at any time.

Unlike previous versions of awards, they are only visible in the Extras option on the main menu and are not seen upon completing the game. Also unlike the previous version, it is not indicated whether the player has won the Achievements until they go to the Extras option, unless they are playing on the Steam version in which case they will see they have earned an Achievement in the bottom right corner like all other games on Steam by default. Also instead of being trophies, Achievements each have unique icons related to their tasks.
