Here’s how to how to snoop Adela’s bag on Day 3 in Nancy Drew: Mystery of the Seven Keys.
At the beginning of day 3, go to see Adela about the journal translation. She hasn’t arrived at the café, so talk to Patricie. Nancy asks Patricie if she could distract Adela when she arrives. Walk over to the table by the window and click on your chair to trigger Adela’s arrival.
When Patricie distracts Adela, you have a short time (1 minutes 20 seconds) to snoop through her bag. Take out the newspaper and scarf. Then you can look at her coffee punch card, receipt, Vladena’s business card, the Koko Kringle, and most importantly the small box.
Pick up the box and rotate it until you get the hand icon to open the lid. This is a slider puzzle where you need to guess the three words associated. Move the letters in each row left or right to spell Jewel, spire, clock. There are letters underneath, so cover them up or reveal them to get each line. The > shape is just a space placeholder.
Here are exact steps:
Drag J left, the > to the right
