Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch Hints
How do I get out of jail?
1 of 13: Did you look outside of the cell?
2 of 13: The key you saw in Cappy's is now hanging on a nail just out of reach.
3 of 13: If only you had something to throw at it!
4 of 13: The cell next to you is falling apart, if you recall.
5 of 13: Turn left and grab a brick or two, then try throwing them at the key.
6 of 13: I'll save you some time: You can't get the key this way, no matter what angle you throw the brick.
7 of 13: Before the brick will work, you need to provide something for the key to land on.
8 of 13: Like that overturned chair.
9 of 13: Use your lariat to lasso the chair and pull it upright.
