Nancy Drew 22: Trail of the Twister Hints
How do I keep the mice in the trap?
1 of 6: Once you have the right bait, the mice will enter the trap readily enough. The thing is, Nancy doesn't want to close the trap until it's as full of mice as it's possible to be. So you need to maneuver things so every possible space in the trap is occupied by a mouse, for a total of ten mice in this first trap.
2 of 6: But the mice, as you've seen, don't ever stop moving. When they run into a dead end, they instantly turn around and go back the other way, and when they bump into the next mouse, that mouse turns around and leaves. You need to find a way to keep the mice trapped in the trap, as well as filling in all the empty spaces.
3 of 6: Did you notice that the junction in the middle of the trap turns?
4 of 6: When there's a mouse in the junction at the crossroads, click on it to turn it. The mouse inside will exit the junction, and you can now turn it to let in the next mouse.
5 of 6: Notice that doing this also blocks off the mice in the other parts of the trap. So you can turn the junction to move the mouse inside and also to keep the other mice from leaving.
6 of 6: As soon as you have ten mice in the trap, Nancy will automatically close the trap and you can take them away.
