Nancy Drew 17: Legend of the Crystal Skull Hints

How do I get access to the bookcase by the garden door?

  • 1 of 6: This one turns on finding the missing painting in the great room and putting it in the right place.
  • 2 of 6: Once you've done that, a secret door opens, cool! Forget the stairs for a moment; instead, look through the peephole.
  • 3 of 6: You're looking right at that bookcase, but you can't see anything. What a shame you can't zoom in!
  • 4 of 6: Ah, but you can. Did you notice the switch to the right of the peephole?
  • 5 of 6: While you're looking through the peephole, push the top of the switch to zoom in.
  • 6 of 6: Now you can go into the library and take the book you were looking at to get glass eye number 10.
