As a child I frequently read Nancy Drew books, in todays world it's hard to get the kids off the computer and into reading- that's why I love these games. They do not contain graffic violence, scoring based on the number of people your can kill or mass destruction. They do involve problem solving skills, learning, memory recognition and deductive reasoning in a fun way- but don't tell the kids! These games are also fun and interesting in a nostalgic way to those who grew up on Nancy Drew. I play them myself and to be honest I've been stumped a couple of times, needing to go to the website mentioned on the game for hints and tips. This feature is great for the kids too. It's an interactive forum to get help or an actual answer if they're stuck with a problem solving skill. They can move on and still enjoy the game with learning, levels can be chosen based on skill and second chances are offered it you really make a big mistake. Compared to other "kids" games I don't feel they have any need to list it as 13+ or violence, It works great for any 7+ age group. The best thing about them? They've actually interested the kids to read the books- sometimes for info., but they actually read the whole book without a school requirement. I have the old books, there's a new series out updating the old stories-more modern and in touch with todays kids. This game was one of the first to come out- It provided hours of play- the newer games just get better and better. I would give it a good rating, as compared to excellent only because we have experienced some of the newer ones and I find them to have more learning content. It is also one of the first series out for girls that has the fun things they like (cell phones, lap tops, boyfriends & independent choices) without being fluffy and uneducational .Read full review
since this was sold for so cheap, i figured i would take a chance and see if it works on my windows 10 computer. It didn't work, can't install it at all. I remember the game so vividly, and i'd love to play it again! I have an HP that came with windows 8, but has been upgraded. the game itself is really fun though, so if you're lucky enough to have a really old computer, definitely try it out on your pc! it's actually really aesthetic, and a shame that HER can't create this game to work for our systems now...

I liked this game alot - it was the first one I ever played. It was just hard enough, never too easy, and wasn't that diffucult to get back on track when you got lost. I would recommed it to anyone who is a Nanc Drew fan - or a first timer! :)
The setting of the game is really cool. Some things were not easy to figure out. There isn't a lot to do and it becomes somewhat boring. The reason we got it is because we are collecting Nancy Drew games because they are really fun. I think the later games are better though.
We love all of the Nancy Drew games! The graphics are great and the game play was very smooth. All of the Nancy Drew games have really fun and interesting story lines. The fact that each game is so different makes it exciting and really enjoyable to play.
