Nancy Drew 18: The Phantom of Venice Hints

How do I get more money?

  • 1 of 7: If you don't buy anything except the stuff you absolutely need, you can get by just fine on the 200 euros Nancy brought. If you want to buy gelato or costumes or ride the singing gondolas you need more, and there are three ways to get it.
  • 2 of 7: First off, there's money in the trash. Every time you're in a place with garbage strewn all over the ground, like the Rialto Market, click on the pieces of trash. Every now and then you'll find a coin, ranging in value from 1 to 9 euros. Leave and come back to look for more.
  • 3 of 7: You can also sometimes find money in the manholes, the fountains, and the trash cans -- and there may be other places. Click everywhere you see a green arrow!
  • 4 of 7: Second, notice that the Rialto Market buys flowers, and Margherita has a planter full of them that she doesn't want. Bring the flowers to the market and put them in the empty vase on the flower shelf for 30 euros each time.
  • 5 of 7: Third, translate every sign you see; one of them says "Help Wanted" (more or less).
  • 6 of 7: It's at the Campo San Polo, at the dance club. Go in and audition.
  • 7 of 7: When you want to make money, go home and put on the cat suit, then come back here and dance successfully. You'll earn between 4 and 25 euros each time, depending on how well you dance. (If you really stink at dancing, like me, you may go home with nothing but the sound of booing in your ears. But it costs nothing to try.)
