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

Where is the entrance to the hidden passage?

  • 1 of 8: After you get into Savannah's room --
  • 2 of 8: -- and back out of it again --
  • 3 of 8: -- go back to Room 33 (via Room 39, like before) and let's see what we see.
  • 4 of 8: Nothing. Blast. I wonder if Savannah can give us more help here?
  • 5 of 8: Call Savannah one more time and ask her if she remembers anything else about the room she stayed in.
  • 6 of 8: This time, she remembers that it had a picture of a bird that triggered the hidden passage. NOW she tells us.
  • 7 of 8: Reach over to the lovely bird picture in the far corner of the room and give it a tweak, and the door to the hidden passage will pop open.
  • 8 of 8: And now you know what Savannah was talking about when she mentioned "both baths." This must be the one where Kasumi drowned, and where the most spooky and frightening things have happened. No wonder they bricked up the door.
