Nancy Drew 1: Secrets Can Kill! (Remastered) Hints
How do I get back out after I shut off the furnace?
1 of 7: If you've just turned off the overheated furnace --
2 of 7: -- you can't go back out the way you came in, because the elevator call button has been discombobulated, as my dad used to say. Well, what other ways are there to get out?
3 of 7: If you look behind the furnace on the right, there's a grill of some sort against the wall. In real life, only a ferret or something could use a ventilation shaft to get out of a room, but this is just a computer game, so let's try it.
4 of 7: Sure enough, the grill comes off easily -- and looky here, a videotape! That must be important.
5 of 7: Before you go, look through the rest of the room to see what's here. (You can always come back via the elevator if you need to, provided you don't mind leaving via the ventilation system every time.)
6 of 7: There's a match book next to a coffee cup that you need to grab; it's a vital clue to the game's final puzzle.
7 of 7: When you're ready to go, pull that grill off the wall and you're gone.
