Nancy Drew 18: The Phantom of Venice Hints

B to A (First Switch)

  • 1 of 7: Your general route is to head for that door in the left wall. On this map, you're going to be following the red line.
  • 2 of 7: As soon as you can move, head for the upper left corner of the room (X1 on my map).
  • 3 of 7: Wait here and watch the blue robot on the left.
  • 4 of 7: When the robot starts to move down again, head for the exit.
  • 5 of 7: Now you're in maze A. Here, you're going to be going into the switch; follow the red line on this map.
  • 6 of 7: Stand in the doorway just long enough for the red robot to sweep by and move past, then run up to X1 on the map.
  • 7 of 7: Wait here while the red robot goes up. When it starts to move down, run straight to the switch (waiting at the intersection if you have to while it sweeps by).
