Nancy Drew 27: The Deadly Device Hints

What is there to find in here?

  • 1 of 8: In addition to all the things there are to do here, there are also a number of things to pick up. Explore on your own, and you may find them all without my help. But in case you think you might have missed something, here's what there is to find.
  • 2 of 8: As you enter, turn a sharp right to see the 3D printer, which you'll need later in the game. In the meantime, there's a book called "Battle of the Currents" that's pretty interesting.
  • 3 of 8: Straight ahead as you enter are three tables full of equipment. Next to the right table is the oscillator, a box that shakes at set frequencies.
  • 4 of 8: The middle table contains a machine of unknown function, next to which is a notebook labeled "Solutions."
  • 5 of 8: The left table contains a lot of apparently random stuff; it also has a clean empty glass beaker.  You won't need it for a long time, but you might as well grab it now.
  • 6 of 8: If you turn a sharp left as you enter, you'll see a station with a hood over it; it's full of lab equipment and chemicals, and you can use it to mix up any chemical you need. Next to it is a locked cabinet with more chemicals, if you need them.
  • 7 of 8: To the left, between the chemical cabinet and the photo lab door, there's a box that contains a smaller version of a Tesla coil. If you mess with it, you'll see that it doesn't work. Wonder if we can do anything about that?
  • 8 of 8: Finally, the yellow door at the left leads to the photolithography lab, and the door on the right with all the warnings on it leads to the Tesla coil lab.
