Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake Hints

How do I open the wooden chest in the shed?

  • 1 of 7: You need the key.
  • 2 of 7: Take the key and use it on the lock.
  • 3 of 7: Oh no, the key broke!  You need to think of some other way to open the wooden chest.
  • 4 of 7: Examine the lock closely.
  • 5 of 7: Ah, you just need to remove the screws!  To do this, you need the screwdriver.
  • 6 of 7: After trying and giving up on the key, use the screwdriver to remove the screws from the lock and remove the lock.  The wooden chest can then be opened.
  • 7 of 7: By the way, be careful with another item in the shed: the insecticide pump.  Don't try repeatedly pumping it, otherwise you could be seriously hurt (unless you want to save your game first, to see what will happen).
