Nancy Drew 17: Legend of the Crystal Skull Hints
What do I do with the skeeball game?
1 of 6: Have you tried bouncing a ball off one of the little panels?
2 of 6: Each panel has three faces: a mouth, a chicken, and an eye. Given the things you've been collecting in this game so far, what would you guess is the point of this game?
3 of 6: That's right -- you want to make it give you a glass eye. And in order to do that, you need to change all the panels to eyes.
4 of 6: To change the panels, click on a ball to place it, then click on it and hold down to aim the ball.
5 of 6: A little experimentation will show you that this is harder than it looks. The balls are hard to aim, and if you aim wrong they bounce like crazy and end up where you didn't want them to go, causing lots of cussing.
6 of 6: One way to get the ball to go where you want it to go is to draw an imaginary line from the ball to the panel you're aiming for. If this doesn't work, try holding a piece of paper or a ruler against the screen and aiming along it. DON'T draw a REAL line, or you'll ruin your monitor and whoever has to pay for a new one will first yell at you and then come beat me up.
