Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek Hints

Wolf Counter

  • 1 of 8: Trapper Dan says, "The wolf is the trickiest to find, because only the likes of Marie Curie or Mr. Geiger can hear his call." That implies that the wolf counter is radioactive in some way; Marie Curie is famous for her work with radioactivity, and Mr. Geiger invented a machine called a geiger counter that indicates the presence of radioactive substances.
  • 2 of 8: In fact, you'll need a geiger counter to find the wolf counter. You'll find one in a place you've visited before, where it will suddenly appear after you read Trapper Dan's Journal.
  • 3 of 8: After you read through the journal, go back to Trapper Dan's hut and look right. Under the bed you can just see a little electronic device; grab it.
  • 4 of 8: To use the geiger counter, click on it in inventory, and you'll have a little readout on the lower left side of the screen. When you get near something that's radioactive, it'll start clicking away. The nearer the source of radioactivity, the faster it will click and the higher the number will go. (When you get tired of it, click on the X in the readout to make it go away.)
  • 5 of 8: Go back to the lodge with the geiger counter turned on and roam around the place listening for clicks.
  • 6 of 8: The stuffed heads in the living room, the ones with the glowing green eyes, all click, and so does the raccoon upstairs if you've found the Raccoon Counter. But none of those are right. You need to look for a spot that clicks without any obvious source of radiation around.
  • 7 of 8: Try downstairs.
  • 8 of 8: The exact spot you're looking for is the stairs that lead outside, the ones across from Yanni that Nancy won't ever use because she doesn't have her coat. With the geiger counter in your inventory, look for a hotspot on those stairs. Lift up the stair, and there's your wolf counter.
