Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger Hints

I need help with the decoder!

  • 1 of 11: While looking closely at the decoder with the 3D Glasses, draw the whole thing on a sheet of paper.
  • 2 of 11: The position of the dots and lines is important.  Try to copy them exactly as shown on the decoder.  Here is my Drawing of the Decoder.
  • 3 of 11: Go look closely at the door lock.  Draw it and include all of the symbols.
  • 4 of 11: See if you can match up the dots and lines on the decoder to the button symbols.
  • 5 of 11: Then assign letters to each of the buttons using the decoder.
  • 6 of 11: Do you know what word to use?
  • 7 of 11: What dots appear near the letters of the code word?
  • 8 of 11: What lines are around the letters of the code word?
  • 9 of 11: Find the letters of the code word on the decoder and on the buttons of the panel.  To help you, refer to the side-by-side drawing of the decoder and the buttons below.  (The ones in color are the letters in the code word.)
  • 10 of 11: Spell the code word by pressing the letters on the panel.  (Keep reading for the full solution.)
  • 11 of 11: The code word is ACTOR.  The graphic below contains the full solution.
