Nancy Drew 27: The Deadly Device Hints

How do I get to snoop in Ellie's area?

  • 1 of 4: Ellie works nights, but during the day Mason will stop you from going through her stuff. You'll have to wait for her to be distracted at night if you want to snoop.
  • 2 of 4: The first opportunity will occur when you step into the hall at night and hear a loud humming sound. (This happens when you leave Security after watching the video referenced on Mason's computer.)
  • 3 of 4: Go tell Ellie about the humming, and she'll leave her cubicle to investigate.
  • 4 of 4: The second opportunity will be after you get trapped in the photo lab.
