I am playing Nancy Drew: Legend of the Crystal Skull and have been totally unable to get the glass eye off the perpetual motion machine (or pendulum). I have collected all the other eyeballs successfully. I try to "grab" the eyeball--that is click on it--as it swings beyond the edge of the glass. It is really accessible on only two swings and even though my cursor is immediately over it, the eyeball is not grabbed. Am I doing something wrong? Should I resort to a saved game? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi HudaD, to GameBoomers.

Lots of members have had trouble with this. The best method I found was to let the machine swing and watch closely for the highest point at which the eyeball swings out, and to remember that spot. Then, to set the machine off again and immediately place the cursor at that spot to click/grab the eyeball up. It's all about speed and timing.

If you still have problems let us know.

I got it! Your hint was very helpful and then I just kept trying over and over and over. Doing my happy dance.

Great that you got it!
Enjoy the rest of the game now.
