Nancy Drew 21: Warnings at Waverly Academy Hints

How do I win at air hockey?

  • 1 of 5: This version of the game is very much like the real life one, except for the difficulty in maneuvering the mallet. At least you can't get your fingers smashed against the bumpers!
  • 2 of 5: Air hockey is a fairly simple game; just use the mallet to smack the puck away from your goal and towards your opponent's goal. Just remember that the puck flies like crazy sometimes.
  • 3 of 5: When I play, most my opponent's goals come from me accidently smacking the puck into my own goal, mostly because I'm flailing around wildly and am not really in control of my mallet. I think you'll do better if you slow down a little and keep control of the puck -- or maybe it just helps to be young and coordinated, unlike me (sigh).
  • 4 of 5: You're helped by the fact that Leela really isn't that good a player, or at least she's slower than most real people I've played against. Just keep your cool and you'll do fine.
  • 5 of 5: Every time you play, there are more colors of mallet to choose from. I don't think it matters which one you choose; it's just taste.
