Nancy Drew: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon Hints

How do I open the trunk?

  • 1 of 8: The first thing you need to do is get permission to touch it. Talk to the owner of the store.
  • 2 of 8: She says she'll let you play with it if you can get her a signed picture from Charleena Purcell. That's not too hard, surely. Go talk to Charleena.
  • 3 of 8: She has a photograph and she's willing to sign it, but she doesn't have a pen and is apparently glued to that stool, so I guess you'll have to go find her a pen. Someone on this train must have a pen; go ask.
  • 4 of 8: Tino has a pen he's willing to give you -- but only if you can beat the Leaping Lizards game.
  • 5 of 8: Once you have a pen, take it back to Charleena to get the photo, then take the photo to Fatima.
  • 6 of 8: Okay, you can finally touch the trunk. Now to get it open. Look at the pattern of holes in its lid; do they look familiar?
  • 7 of 8: You saw something like them when you opened the cigar box in Jake's car, remember?
  • 8 of 8: Use the colored star from the cigar box on the trunk. Now you just need to figure out which colors to push.
