Nancy Drew 23: Shadow at the Water's Edge Hints

Egg 3

  • 1 of 5: This one is found in the ryokan late at night.
  • 2 of 5: When you open the puzzle box on the reception desk --
  • 3 of 5: -- you found a sealed envelope with Miwako's computer password inside. What did you do with it after you got it opened?
  • 4 of 5: Why not put it back? Seems kind of silly to go through the trouble of steaming the envelope open rather than just ripping it, unless you're trying to make it look like the envelope wasn't opened.
