Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch Hints

What am I supposed to do with the piano?

  • 1 of 11: You can't do anything with it until you've solved the petroglyph puzzle completely.
  • 2 of 11: Once you've done that, look for hotspots on the piano.
  • 3 of 11: There's a panel under the keyboard that slides open.
  • 4 of 11: As Nancy observes, you need to put an 8-letter word in here. But what?
  • 5 of 11: How did the petroglyph message go?
  • 6 of 11: "Cappy's keys Pappy's name please!"
  • 7 of 11: Once you've called Charleena, you know what Pappy's name was.
  • 8 of 11: It's Cashmeer. Manipulate the puzzle till it says that.
  • 9 of 11: It works best if you start from the right (letter 8) and work left, rather than left to right.
  • 10 of 11: There are lots of ways to solve it, but here's one:
