Nancy Drew 27: The Deadly Device Hints
How do I "illuminate a black light under the glow"?
1 of 8: If you've repaired and tested the large Tesla coil --
2 of 8: -- you know that at a lower power setting, it produces an eerie blue glow rather than a massive lightning show. So all we need now is a black light.
3 of 8: You may not have noticed, but there's an unused black light tube on the premises --
4 of 8: -- in the workshop, in the blue work table in the corner. (You couldn't pick it up before, but you can now.)
5 of 8: Get that tube and bring it to the Tesla coil lab, then go into the control booth and run a low power test.
6 of 8: Now go back down to the floor near the coil and pull out the black light. Ooo, cool! Click the glowing light around the lab till something appears.
7 of 8: The spot you want is the hexagonal thing on the floor to the left of the coil.
8 of 8: Congratulations -- you've just discovered the entrance to Niko's study!
