Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion Hints

I need help with the slider puzzle!

  • 1 of 7: The picture may look a bit familiar, even if it is jumbled.
  • 2 of 7: It is a drawing of the Phoenix, also called the "fire bird."
  • 3 of 7: While working this puzzle, it will help to look at a picture of the Phoenix again.  Find it on the floor of the lobby as well as in a library book.
  • 4 of 7: It is easy to become frustrated while trying to solve "sliding" puzzles.  Using the one blank square, slide the blocks up, down, left and right to rearrange them to form the picture.
  • 5 of 7: In this slide puzzle, the blank square will end where it begins.
  • 6 of 7: Try working with one corner of blocks at a time, doing the top right corner last.
  • 7 of 7: The Junior puzzle is much easier with only 9 blocks.  Seniors have 16 blocks in their puzzle.
