I know this is a question that's been going around for a while about "How you you earn the all the awards/achievements in Nancy Drew Midnight In Salem?"  Well for today's post, I have the solution to this question today.  I'm sharing with everyone how you earn all the awards in Nancy Drew Midnight In Salem!  
This post will contain spoilers so you are reading this at your own risk.  So let's get started!

"AW"

The Will
During the final decision in the game, choose the option to hand over Frances Tuttle's Will.


Trivia Tamer
Answer the Trivia Question at the end of the game correctly.


Another Cased Solved
Solve the case.

Master Sleuth
Complete the whole game on Master Sleuth.  You also need to make sure that you complete these puzzles on Master Sleuth in order to gain this award.  The puzzles you need to complete the on Master Sleuth award is the Ghost Hunters puzzle, the Fakery puzzle in the forest, the tunnels, and the puzzle box.  Once you complete it then you will get the award.

Special Truth Serum
Though this is not an award in the game, I still found this to be super fun to try.  On the 4th attempt at making herbal mixtures you will get Starwort.  This is one of the 3 ingredients needed to make a truth serum.

The second ingredient is found in the locked box with the other herbs.  The key for this box is found in the store on the table to the right of Lauren.  The final ingredient is found in the forest going before reaching Hathorne House.  Once you enter the forest, take two steps forward and turn left, take one step forward and adjust your camera to see the rosemary.  In my opinion it looks like a tall green weed.  Once you have all the ingredient then you can mix it at the table.

Now its time to enjoy the fun of having everyone being truthful!  Sadly, only two people are willing to drink it in the game but it's still fun listening to everyones reactions on what they think about it.


Thank you everyone for reading!  I hope this helps everyone on finding all the awards and achievements in Midnight In Salem.   I had so much fun trying to find all the awards and achievements in the game.  Many of them are super simple and easy to complete so you should have no trouble at all completing them now.  But if you have questions about each award let me know down in the comments and I will do my best to answer them.  So, what other Midnight In Salem post do you want to see next?  I would love to know down in the comments below.
