Reviews

“A wonderful mystery for the whole family! The best in children’s games always tries to meld education with fun, and this game does that superbly, with a smooth integration of factoids about various things coupled with critical thinking activities and a fun adventure. Male or female, Nancy Drew fan or no, get this game!”
PC GameZone

“Her Interactive has set itself the goal of providing well rounded, well crafted family fun — with an eye for a solid story and familiar gameplay coupled with a versatile challenge mix. Here they have scored a success on all points. Now the only sad part is I have to wait til October for the next Nancy Drew game to come out. Happy sleuthing.”
GameBoomers

“In fact, as mysteries go, this case is one of the best. It’s got plenty of puzzles, suspicious activity, sidetrails to investigate and interesting characters, both current and past.”
