Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy Hints

I have the gems. What do I do with them?

  • 1 of 7: The first thing is to put them back in their places on the wall. This is pretty simple; just match the colors. That is, the orange gem goes in the orange spot, and like that.
  • 2 of 7: When all the spots are covered by gems, you'll find that you can push them so they click. Clearly, then, you need to push them in a specific order. But what order?
  • 3 of 7: You'll find the answer on the wall above the gems.
  • 4 of 7: See the rainbow there? In addition to being very pretty, it has the same colors as the gems.
  • 5 of 7: Push the gems in the same order as the rainbow, BUT --
  • 6 of 7: -- right to left. That is, you need to follow the same order you learned in school: Roy G. Biv.
  • 7 of 7: That's red, orange, yellow, green, blue (light blue in this case), indigo (darker blue), violet. You won't press the gem on the bottom at all.
