I dare all Nancy Drew fans to take up this fun and very much doable duo. IMHO, Ghost Dogs has a more interesting story line than Secret of the Scarlet Hand, but both games are exciting, if mildly frustrating at times. Hint: use the online message boards for help and you'll have more fun. These two being about the 5th and 6th games made by Her Interactive, the graphics, character voices, story line, and overall script are great improvements over former pc games. I personally have not tried to play this game with my family, but the nature of the game is such that it is very family-friendly. Kids, young adults, and even some daring adult Nancy Drew fans will most likely enjoy both these games, but even if one disappoints, the likelyhood of both failing expectations is low.

I am a huge Nancy Drew fan! I have solved and own all the games and never get tired of them. Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake and Secret of the Scarlet Hand are some of the longest and hardest games (thats good by the way)!

Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake's mystery is all about dogs haunting a house by Moon Lake that one of Nancy's friends own (she left so you are all alone). This game is definitly on the scary side because of one of the beginning scenes so this game probably is recommended for ages 10 and up. The game is long and has fun puzzles and funny characters. I loved the dogs in this game!

Secret of the Scarlet Hand definitly takes a while to get in to because at first all you are doing is learning about the Mayans and doing tasks. However after the theft the game gets very interesting with twists and turns that will get you hooked. The game would probably be hard for younger kids to comprehend and really get into (they'd probably get kind of bored) but the game is great for history learners.

Overall these games are great and I play them over and over! I love the Nancy Drew games and can't wait for the 16th game to come out later in 2007!

This product is in true Nancy Drew fashion with 2 new mysteries to solve! Both games give you hours of entertainment as you take on the role of Nancy and try to figure out "whodunit!"

A must buy for all Nancy Drew game lovers. I really enjoyed playing these games because they are really fun and interesting.

I love it! The game is great and it came really fast. Thank you sooo much I love it!

The Secret of the Scarlet Hand, I must say, wasn't one of my favorite mystery games. The storyline was a bit odd: Nancy is now an intern at a museum in Washington D.C. But right after she arrives, she learns that there have been a bunch of thefts! The only thing left behind is a scarlet hand at the site of the crime. You learn about the Mayas in this game, a ancient civilization in South America. While this was interesting, to the younger set it sometimes seems like more of a boring topic than fun for a mystery game. One of the cooler little parts of this game is taking the Washington DC Metro system... that's just a fun little feature. I found many of the tasks and puzzles to be much more boring than they are in other ND games. Alone, I'd give this game about a 5 or 6 out of 10.

On the other hand, Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake is one of my favorite Nancy Drew games! It is the scariest one except for Curse of Blackmoor Manor, I think, and it keeps you on your toes the whole time. There are secret passageways and trap doors, while in Secret of the Scarlet Hand, there aren't any (as far as I can remember...!!) Because it is scary, I would recommend it for ages 11 or 12 and up.

Overall, this isn't the best "double dare" set. If you are just going to buy one, buy the one with Treasure in a Royal Tower and The Final Scene. You might get hooked though - and these games are lots of fun even though they are not the best. If you're just looking to buy one game, Message in a Haunted Mansion (#3) is a good game for a beginner, and I'd also recommend some of the later games -- Danger on Deception Island, Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, Secret of the Old Clock (based on the Nancy drew book!), and for the horse-lovers, Secret of Shadow Ranch.

Happy sleuthing!

no matter what you might think about ghost dogs scarlet hand has a touch of eeriness (I love it)challenging really challenging puzzles that you have to keep with interesting people! and a hard and creepy ending the game progression is amazing and fun. ghost dogs in the beginning is very creepy at the beginning and challenging fun at the beginning. but at about the middle the puzzles get hard to solve everything about mickey malone is just confusing and it's not that great of a game. but getting them both is an excellent way to try them both out and I suggest you get this

All of these games are great.They are very fun and challenging.You never want to stop playing for a second.Some of the best games ever thought up and invented.You are always anxious for another one to come out.Buy any of them and it will be a good investment of your money.

I was so surprised by the speedy service! It was just what I needed and everything was in great condition! Thank you so much for making things ALOT easier! Your well trusted with me.

Hello all you Nancy Drew fans. I can't wait to try all of the Nancy Drew games. (...) I think its a GREAT game! It combines two of the games we love in 1 package. But if you didn't like Secret of the Scarlet Hand or Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, then I don't think this game is for you. But if you did enjoy them both then this game was designed for YOU! (...) Thanks for your time Buh Byez.
