Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch Hints
Oh no! The Bad Guy! How do I get away?
1 of 8: It's time for a little Roadrunner Versus Coyote action here.
2 of 8: Did you notice the hole in the floor where you found the last key?
3 of 8: If you could lure The Bad Guy into that room, he/she might be so careless as to step on that rug and take a little tumble.
4 of 8: The Bad Guy is following the same route through the maze that you did, following the colored rocks over the doors.
5 of 8: Did you notice that the rocks over the doors can be removed?

7 of 8: As soon as The Bad Guy starts to come after you, go back down the ladder and into the room with three doors, blue, green, and red.
