How come when I go to the portrait I can't do anything? I can look at it but it doesn't give me any option to pick it up? WTF??? It is necessary to the game to complete it?
i swear i bought this like a day early or something i dont remeber and u didnt make a walkthrought yet so i was stuck on this for like 2 hours and then i gave up :( but then you help me :D
its just one of those things where you have to keep trying. just work corner by corner trying to detangle one section of the frame at a time. once one corner is detangled try not to move any of those pieces and work on another corner
FINALLY GOT THIS AFTER LIKE A YEAR!!!!!! Damn These Puzzles lol But Somehow We Always Get Through Them Don't We Guys? (Thumbs Up If You're Not In High School Anymore & STILL Play These Games.) :-)
@XxCage4evaXx - after having played all Nancy Drew games thus far, I'm getting ready to quit ONLY because of this damn portrait puzzle! This sucks!!!!!!
UGH! I had to quit the game without saving so I could restart that stupid puzzle and do EXACTLY what you're doing so I could get past it a million times! And Twizzler206 is right. Her Interactive has to hate us to make such a friggen almost impossible puzzle to cheat on making!!!
You can check how many wires are attached to a pin by pulling it out and rotating it around the others. Do this so that, when I say a pin is attached to another, you can make sure it is directly attached to it (and not just overlapping a wire).
Put the 7-pin in the upper left corner, and the 6-pin in the upper right.
There are two 5-pins, but only one is attached to the 6-pin. Move the 5-pin that is attached to the 6-pin into the bottom right corner.
Find the only pin (one of the 4's) that is attached to both the 7-pin (upper left corner) and the 5-pin (that you just put in the bottom right corner). To do so, take the pins out one-by-one and drag them to the bottom left corner. If a pin is not attached directly to both the 7 (upper left) and the 5 (bottom right), put it back in the center and keep checking the others. Once you find the correct pin, move it to the bottom left corner.
You should now have a wire rectangle around the edge of the puzzle area, like this: (ignore the rows of dots in the middle area--they're only helping to space the lines)
7___________6
|....................|
|....................|
|....................|
4___________5
Find the only pin (a 3) connected to both the 4 and the 5 at the bottom of the rectangle. Move that to the center of the bottom of the puzzle area, just above the wire that joins the 4 and 5.
Now find the only other pin that is attached to the 3-pin you just moved (this will be a 4), and move it to the bottom left area, near the corner (but even with or slightly higher than the 3-pin you previously moved, so that it's above the wire that joins the 3-pin to the 4-pin that's in the bottom left corner, not under that wire).
You'll notice that the 4-pin you just moved is also attached to the 4-pin in the bottom left corner, as well as the 7-pin in the upper left corner. Find the fourth pin that it's attached to (a 3-pin), and move that pin over to the left side of the frame, so that it is directly above and close to the 4-pin you just moved. This 3-pin will be sitting just to the right of the wire that joins the 4-pin you just moved to the 7-pin in the upper left corner.
Now find the 3-pin that's attached to both the 7-pin (upper left corner) and the 6-pin (upper right corner). Move this 3-pin into the center of the top of the frame, just below the wire that joins the 7-pin and the 6-pin.
Find the 4-pin that's attached to the 3-pin you just moved (it's the only other pin attached to it) and move that pin into the center of the top section, putting it directly under and very close to the 3-pin you just moved.
You'll notice that the 4-pin you just moved is attached to the 7-pin and 6-pin as well. Find the only other pin that it's attached to (a 4-pin), and move that pin directly under the 4-pin you just moved. The three pins you just moved (3-pin, 4-pin, 4-pin) should now form a fairly tight vertical line just below the top wire (the wire joining the 7-pin and 6-pin).
Find the 3-pin that's attached to the 4-pin you just moved, and move it near the upper right corner area, just to the left of the wire that forms the left edge of the frame.
Now find the only other 5-pin (the one that's not in the bottom right corner), and move it to the center of the bottom part of the frame, so that it is directly above and close to the 3-pin that's down there (the one that's sitting in the center just above the bottom wire).
Move the remaining three pins into the right center part of the puzzle area. They should be placed in a short vertical line, spaced slightly apart, with the 3-pin that's attached to both 5-pins on the bottom of the vertical line, placing above it the 3-pin that's attached to the 3-pin I just mentioned, then put the last 3-pin above that one.
this puzzle was the worst but i manage to solve it by just playing with the dots until none of them were crossing but still worst ...btw love your walktrough keep up the good work!!
...Can you come over to my house and do the backing of the picture frame for me? "One of MANY possible solutions" my BUTT!! It's sooo hard! :( But thanks for the video. :) Do you have an account on herinteractive?
Did you do a senior version of the portrait puzzle? I'm stuck on that on senior! I'm pretty far into the game but I can't go any further until I finish it! Thanks!
It wasn't that hard for me. But I preordered my game so I got a strategy guide. So yeah, I kind of cheated, lol. I copied most of it from the example they gave me and figured the rest on my own.
I actually didn't have THAT much trouble with this. If you take the largest one and move it out of the way and then continue with that line of thinking you can figure it out reletively quickly. It really is hard, but I quite liked it honestly. =)
Al lot of people will thank you for posting the walkthrough for solving the portrait backing puzzle. Thanks to your video where you first showed the completed portrait backing puzzle on junior mode, I was able to do it by arranging the wires following the positions of the wires in your video. Thank you so much! And now I'm stuck at the near end, the 25x25 nonogram thingy..T_T Im bad at nonograms. Hahaha.
@Twizzler206 lot more to come don't worry. I've already expected these kind of puzzles like sudoku in this game based on japan. i'm spoiled by my sister cuz she finished it and i haven't. Hahaha. The most frustrating for me now is the nonogram.
@Twizzler206 that sudoku wasn't as hard as I thought, but it sure was hard. It just took alot of time and patience for me but I managed to solve it without help, woot!!
thank you so much! I've been working on this for about an hour until now!

I hope this help.. Find it on Herinteractive Message board (credits to Tom Thatcher)
Note: the numbers refer to the number of wires attached to the pin--there are:
one 7
one 6
two 5's
four 4's
seven 3's
Move all pins to near the center of the screen before you start, for ease of sorting.
