Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel Hints

How do I win at Barnacle Blast?

  • 1 of 6: Barnacle Blast is the third midway game on the left.  You won't be able to play it until you get it fixed.
  • 2 of 6: The object of the game is to knock off all the barnacles from the ship with a moving ball. You do this moving a paddle back and forth at the bottom of the screen, providing a place for the ball to bounce against to keep the ball in play.  Instructions are provided at the beginning of the game.  Don't miss, or new barnacles appear on the ship!  When you win Level 1 of Barnacle Blast, you get a seashell token.  When you win Level 2 of Barnacle Blast, you get a mermaid token.
  • 3 of 6: You begin playing Barnacle Blast 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.
  • 4 of 6: You may choose an easy game or medium difficulty, but winning at either will earn your seashell and mermaid tokens.
  • 5 of 6: The moves to win at this game are not given here.  Just keep moving the paddle with the movement of the ball, following it as closely as possible.  Both levels can be done without too much effort.
  • 6 of 6: Now that you've won Barnacle Blast, take your seashell and mermaid tokens that arrived in the tray below the game.
