Nancy Drew 18: The Phantom of Venice Hints

How do I pass the dance audition?

  • 1 of 8: If you read the audition notebook, it will tell you everything you need to know.
  • 2 of 8: What's going to happen is that music will play, and when you hear specific sounds in the music, you have to do the dance move that goes with that sound.
  • 3 of 8: As you read the book, push the loudspeaker button on each page to play the sound. Notice too that a specific color light is associated with each sound.
  • 4 of 8: When you think you're ready to go, click on the cat costume hanging on the wall and you'll start.
  • 5 of 8: Listen to the music and watch for the lights (bars and spotlights right and left, lights under the lip of the stage). When one of the sounds plays AND the lights start to flash on and off, click on the button for that sound to do the moves. The faster you click, the happier Fausto will be.
  • 6 of 8: If you do well enough to pass the audition, Fausto will give you a stage name and tell you to take the costume home to practice. Yeah, right.
  • 7 of 8: And that's all there is to it. The costume has a specific use in the game, which Gina will tell you about --
  • 8 of 8: -- but you can also use it to make some money. If you're good at it, you can make a LOT of money.
