Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion Hints
How can I stop the thief?
1 of 8: Their fate is dangling in thin air. Soon they'll think the sky is falling!
2 of 8: Lower the boom!
3 of 8: Hanging directly above is the crystal chandelier.
4 of 8: This segment is timed, so move as quickly as you can to the hook that holds the rope to the chandelier.
5 of 8: The left staircase creaks and will alert them. Go the other way.
6 of 8: Take the right staircase up and rush over the landing and down the other side of the stairs to zoom in on the hook.
7 of 8: If you haven't played with the rope before now, click on the wrapped rope 3 times.
8 of 8: When all else fails, restore a game prior to using the crowbar on the floor. Unwrap the rope a bit by clicking twice on the hook. Then it will take only once to make it fall.
