Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek Hints
How do I open the gates in the maze?
1 of 10: The only clue to this in Trapper Dan's journal is on the page where he says, "Mary always had a fox's cunning about her."
2 of 10: It's not the coded stuff on this page that you need; that's all about how to open the locked door in the hut. It's in the little diagrams.
3 of 10: Those pictures aren't anything to do with The Infernal Slot Machine; that has only one duck, and this is a whole bunch of geese and one pig. Huh?
4 of 10: Wait, there's something about that arrangement that looks really familiar. Where have you seen a whole bunch of geese surrounding a single animal?
5 of 10: Bill Kessler is always playing a game called Fox and Geese, and this looks a lot like that. But the journal seems to show a pig, not a fox.
6 of 10: What if you played Fox and Geese, but used the pig counter instead of the fox? Trapper Dan thought his pig was as cunning as a fox, after all.
7 of 10: Get the pig counter, then play Fox and Geese with Bill. When he tells you how to play, look for a chance to ask him if you can use the pig counter instead of the fox.
8 of 10: Now that you're playing with the pig instead of the fox, when you win a game, the eyes of the animal on that side of the board will light up. When the eyes light up, that gate has just opened. But that means --
9 of 10: Yes, it's true; you have to win the game not just once, but THREE TIMES, trapping the pig in each of the top three sides (Moose, Pig, and Raccoon), to open the three gates. Argh!!
10 of 10: If it's any consolation, you don't need to work it so the fox/pig ends up in the exact center of the row nearest the end to get the eyes to light. Anywhere you can trap him in that block of six spots is good enough. And I hardly need to say SAVE after each win so you don't have to do it again.
