Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel Hints

Where will I look for the door to Kessler's workshop?

  • 1 of 9: You will not be doing this until late in the game, after reading Kessler's letter.
  • 2 of 9: The letter mentions a crucial hint for locating the door to Kessler's workshop.
  • 3 of 9: "The radiator still stands guard outside the door to my workshop"
  • 4 of 9: Go to the small room in the haunted house that has a radiator against the back wall.  Search every inch of this wall carefully.
  • 5 of 9: You eventually discover a hidden panel above the radiator.  Touching the panel opens it.
  • 6 of 9: The opened panel reveals a device.  This device looks familiar.  Have you seen anything like it before?
  • 7 of 9: It looks like the Zap Tech Transmitter device you found under the carousel.
  • 8 of 9: Since you are holding the device from the carousel that looks similar to this one in the panel, perhaps you should activate the device you are holding.
  • 9 of 9: Activating the device you are holding against the device in the panel reveals a previously hidden lock.  This must be the lock on the door to Kessler's workshop.  You are going to need a key.  Do you have one, or know where one is?
