Second Chances
As with all Nancy Drew games, in this game there are many fatal accidents such as:
- Picking unripe vegetables for Shorty twice.
- Trying to take an egg from the chicken with the warning sign over it.
- Leading the horse to the riding area before getting permission from Tex.
- Leaving the stables while the horse is still saddled up.
- Knocking the jail key to the ground without putting the chair up.
- Over-baking a cake.
- Making the chickens or horses sick.
- Over-exhausting your horse (keeping it away from the ranch for too long)
- Not fixing the hole in the fence and letting the coyotes eat all the chickens.
- Getting bit by a rattlesnake in the garden.
- Get stung by a scorpion.
- Failing to escape and trap the villain in the maze.
- Falling through a hole under the rug while trying to get Dirk Valentine's treasure.
However, like in many of the Nancy Drew games, if the player makes a mistake, they may click on "Second Chance" at the main menu and it will take them back to the place before they made that mistake.

Famous quotes containing the word chances:
“A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the façade of his appearance.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
“Tyranny destroys or strengthens the individual; freedom enervates him, until he becomes no more than a puppet. Man has more chances of saving himself by hell than by paradise.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
