Nancy Drew Shadow Ranch

hi, i'm stuck on the zebra rock puzzle with the magnet. is there an easier way to do this? i've been playing around with this thing for quite a while.
i got one done but the others aren't working!

You can follow the solution in the walkthrough.

I also just found this comment about this puzzle while reading the Her Interactive forum:



I honestly don't know what happens if you do this, but it might be worth checking out.

i'll try these. is there just one path to get to your goal?

It looks that way to me.

opening and closing the box 10 times removes the wooden planks, I believe. This trick though does make it easier. Yes the magnet still drops the pieces, just keep at it

Thanks, Jen - I will have to try this the next time I play the game.

You're more welcome, Marian. I always do that when I play the game, it does make that puzzle much easier. In the same respect, when you play Curse of Blackmoor Manor, you can do this same trick when doing the puzzle above Jane's bedroom door to do a shortened version

I didn't know about the Blackmoor trick either. Great information. I don't think I have ever stumbled upon one of these on my own. Fun to learn about.

I learned the trick with Blackmoor from UHS Hints, you have to backup from the door about ten times. Then the tiles be in almost the perfect order and you only have to move five to complete the puzzle

finally got it & finished the game. thanks everyone

Congrats on finishing!
