Nancy Drew: The Final Scene Hints

I need help using the Control Board!

  • 1 of 6: The Control Board is a very technical piece of equipment and sits to the right of the projector.
  • 2 of 6: It is best not to fiddle with it until you know what you are doing.  And... when Joseph is not here.
  • 3 of 6: All of the special stage props for performing acts are controlled from this panel.  Each one has its own set of instructions for the stage technicians to follow.  (Even if you know the sequence of actions to take, nothing will work until after Nancy has read all the pages of the instructions.)
  • 4 of 6: Zoom in for a closer look at the Control Board.  There are 4 areas you can examine.
  • 5 of 6: The important spots are near the microphone and the lower 2 panels -- a number pad and a group of buttons and switches.
  • 6 of 6: Follow the instructions from the Guide book in the EXACT order given there to set the stage for the Houdini Transformation.
