Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel Hints
How do I win at Squid Toss?
1 of 9: Squid Toss is the first midway game on the left. The object of the game is to set the direction and power with which to toss three squids through a hoop. When you win Squid Toss, you will earn an anchor token.
2 of 9: You begin playing Squid Toss by inserting your Fun Card into the slot below the game. If you've run out of Fun Credits on your Fun Card, stop by and see Harlan; he'll give you another Fun Card.
3 of 9: Your first squid needs to be tossed through a hoop that is a little to the left. Turn the Aim wheel in what you think is the correct direction. This squid needs only a little power to be tossed through the hoop. Set the power you wish to use when tossing the squid.
4 of 9: 1st squid: Click the left side of the Aim wheel only once to aim the squid a little to the left. Click "Shrimp" power to toss your squid with only a little power. Pull the Launch sign when you are ready to toss the squid. The first squid goes through the hoop.
5 of 9: Your second squid needs to be tossed through a hoop that is a little to the right. Turn the Aim wheel in what you think is the correct direction. This squid needs more than a little power to be tossed through the hoop. Set the power you wish to use when tossing the squid.
6 of 9: 2nd Squid: Click the right side of the Aim wheel only once to aim the squid a little to the right. Click "Dolphin" power to toss your squid with more than a little power. Pull the Launch sign when you are ready to toss the squid. The second squid goes through the hoop.
7 of 9: Your last squid needs to be tossed through a hoop that is a little to the right. Turn the Aim wheel in what you think is the correct direction. This squid needs quite a bit more than a little power to be tossed through the hoop. Set the power you wish to use when tossing the squid.
8 of 9: 3rd Squid: Click the right side of the Aim wheel only once to aim the squid a little to the right. Click "Whale" power to toss your squid with quite a bit more than a little power. Pull the Launch sign when you are ready to toss the squid. The last squid goes through the hoop.
