Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch Hints
Do I have to play this "Run For Cover" game?
1 of 5: You need to eventually, yes, but you don't have to until day 2 if you don't want to.
2 of 5: The point of the game is to get the road runner to its lair before the coyote(s) catch(es) up with it.
3 of 5: In the early levels this is fairly simple, but in the later levels you'll need to plan.
4 of 5: And sometimes you'll need to move *towards* a coyote in order to lure him into a bad position.
