Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy Hints
How do I start it?
1 of 18: Before you even try, you need to, as Nancy says, get somewhere out into the open. That means you need to be somewhere where you're looking down on Nancy from above.
2 of 18: When you look at the thing closely, though, you'll see that it has a very complicated control panel. Just pushing the red button marked "Go" doesn't do anything, and doing anything else makes it blow up. Ouch!
3 of 18: Well, I guess we'll have to wait until we get some kind of instructions --
4 of 18: -- which you'll find when you get all four of the metal plates you've been finding about the place.
5 of 18: Okay, now we have instructions. If you printed the colors right, that is. If not, well, there's always Second Chance. The process to start the jetpack is as follows -- but mind, this won't work until you've printed the instructions correctly.
6 of 18: 1. Turn the yellow knob so it points to the red triangle on the top.
7 of 18: 2. Turn the numbers in the middle to 729.
8 of 18: 3. Push the black button.
9 of 18: 4. Flip the little red switch down.
10 of 18: 5. Turn the blue knob to the black triangle on the left.
11 of 18: 6. Pull the square lever at the right up two notches so it's halfway up. (Some people experience a glitch here; try clicking on the lever, dragging it to the first notch, hold a second, then up to the second notch before you let go.)
12 of 18: 7. Push the yellow button.
13 of 18: 8. Push the red button.
14 of 18: 9. Click on the color -- oops, that should be "colour" -- dial at the top, in between the red and yellow knobs, until it shows red.
15 of 18: 10. Turn the number dial at the left to 4.
16 of 18: 11. Flip the little blue switch up.
17 of 18: 12. Flip the little yellow switch down.
18 of 18: 13. Push the big red GO button -- and hold onto your hat!
