Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand Hints

How can I reassemble the pot?

  • 1 of 5: You aren't able to work with it at all until you have all of the pieces.
  • 2 of 5: Rotate the turntable by clicking on either of the "circle" arrows. (It is not necessary to drag while clicking.)
  • 3 of 5: Choose a piece from the right side and position it on top of the existing piece(s), turning it around to move different sides to the front.
  • 4 of 5: You must finish the entire bottom of the pot before adding any top pieces.
  • 5 of 5: It is pretty easy to finish, so keep working with it until Nancy tells you it's done. Then mark it off of your task list.
