Nancy Drew 29: The Silent Spy Hints
How do I gather the USB drives?
1 of 7: After Ewan finishes his little bad-guy rant, Zoe comes back on and tells you to gather USB drives. Huh?
2 of 7: If you explored this area, you may have noticed that every computer bank has an array with lots of colored objects and tartan patterns. Those colored objects are the USB drives Zoe was talking about.
3 of 7: So when Zoe gives you a tartan name and a color, what you need to do is find that tartan pattern in the computer banks, then pull that color USB drive from the array, and then she'll give you another one to look for. Read to the end of this hint for a guide telling you where they all are.
4 of 7: You're going to be gathering five (Amateur) or six (Master) drives, so you're going to get really good at deciphering the tartans in the Tartans book. Or not, given how tiny the pictures are.
5 of 7: This puzzle is a lot harder than it would be in real life, where you could hold the book closer to see exactly which stripes go where. If you've been playing the game in a window, try playing it full-screen; that might help some.
6 of 7: One way you are helped out is that this task isn't timed; that is, you can take all the time you need to gather the USB drives. Also, Nancy won't take the wrong drives, so if she refuses to take a drive, you probably have the wrong tartan.
7 of 7: Here are the locations of the USB drives you need to gather.
