Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower Hints

Turning on the Stairway Lights

  • 1 of 3: After returning the ski boots to Professor Hotchkiss, Dexter will tell you to fix the lights in the stairway by checking the circuit breakers.
  • 2 of 3: Talk to Dexter again after you have finished.  He will assign you another task.
  • 3 of 3: Note: If you fix the lights in the spiral staircase earlier than Dexter asks you to, there will be a glitch in the conversations with Dexter.  He may ask you to do it again.  You can ignore this request.  Simply back out of the conversation and ask him something else.
