Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill Hints
The boiler blew up! What did I do wrong?
1 of 9: This will not happen until the end of the game. Turn around and look at the elevator button. If it can still be used, DO NOT READ any more. It could spoil the game for you.
2 of 9: You should have known something was amiss! Didn't you hear the ticking sound?
3 of 9: That ticking sound is Morse Code giving you a warning. You had better hurry.
4 of 9: The boiler's controls have been sabotaged! But, you can't get to them because of that big chain and combination padlock.
5 of 9: You can choose to unlock the padlock ... or cut the chain.
7 of 9: There is a sign on the wall that reads "Emergency Instructions". Make a quick note of the needle positions on each of the gauges. Then set the controls on the boiler to those readings.
8 of 9: There are three front levers on the boiler. The middle setting is okay, so you don't need to move it. Click on the left and right ones only.
9 of 9: Click the left lever two times, the right one twice and then the left one once. (You will hear a hissing sound as the boiler cools off and then quiet.)
