Nancy Drew 18: The Phantom of Venice Hints
How do I find the bug for the pigeon?
1 of 6: First, click on the Message icon on your PDA to see what it looks like.
2 of 6: It looks like a white capsule, like a Tylenol but without the red part. Okay, that's a start. Now go to Campo Santa Maria Formosa and enter the costume shop.
3 of 6: You have about a minute to find the bug before it self-destructs (in a tiny little poof of smoke). Look for a very small white blob, about the size of a peanut, in the costume shop.
4 of 6: Can't see it? It's on the table at the back, next to the brown box with a picture of a shoe on the outside.
5 of 6: If you didn't get it in time, don't panic. Click on the message icon of your PDA again, and it will tell you another location; go there and try again.
6 of 6: You can keep trying as many times as you like without penalty, so don't give up. The PDA sends you to the same three locations, with the bug in different spots in those locations, until eventually they start to repeat.
