Open the Puzzle Box

In Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water’s Edge, Nancy snoops through the front desk at the Ryokan late at night when Miwako is gone (after 1:00am). If Suki has been tamed with the correct word, you may snoop the contents of the desk. There is a puzzle box you must solve to open.

The directions for this type of puzzle box can be found in the subway on your way to Matsue (Expo) station.

Click on a piece (or multiple pieces) to group and select them. Click on the arrows available to slide the pieces in that direction. Click on the highlighted selection(s) to Ungroup and Unselect the pieces.
