Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Roll up your sleeves, get out your detective's notebook, grab your magnifying glass, and step into the world of Nancy Drew with your very own mysteries to solve!

Secrets Can Kill: Solve a murder and catch the devious culprit. Place yourself in the role Nancy Drew, as you go undercover to track down the criminal using your seasoned-detective investigative skills.

Stay Tuned for Danger: TV's hottest soap star, Rick Arlen, is receiving threatening letters, and it's up to Nancy to get to the bottom of them. Are they serious or just a prank? Pose as an extra on the set to unravel the web of deceit lurking in the wings, and the lies surrounding the suspects.

Treasure in the Royal Tower: While snowed-in at the Wickford Castle Ski Resort you, as Nancy Drew, are trapped in a place that's as strange as it's history. The castle is a riddle, full of dead ends and detours that hint at royal legend. Solve baffling puzzles, search concealed rooms, interview evasive suspects, and sidestep snowy danger on the hunt for a secret that someone else is desperate to discover first.

Final Scene: A friend's kidnapping puts you, as Nancy Drew, into a race against time at the century Palladium Theater. The place is destined for demolition in three days--but the kidnap victim is being held captive somewhere inside!

Features:

• Different "Spy IQ" levels of difficulty
• Lively animated 3D characters, each with a secret to hide and protect
• Rich, interactive, 360-degree, 3D environments
• Original, high-quality music and 3D sound effects
• Built-in game hints and a "second chance" option
• Hours and hours of game play--great for individual play or for collaborative sleuthing with family or friends

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost five Stars..., April 1, 2006

April 2006 review:
Secrets Can Kill & Stay Tuned for Danger are the two oldest ND games and, while both are still enjoyable enough to play, are not up to the caliber of the subsequent Nancy Drew PC games. I'd rate these two games at 4 stars.

Treasure in the Royal Tower: Interesting! Great graphics & sound effects, good interaction w/characters, etc. Setting is a refurbished old castle w/plenty of hidden rooms & passageways. You get to go outside and walk in snow, repair things, hunt for items and clues, etc. I'd rate this at 5 stars.

The Final Scene: good graphics & sound effects. It takes place in an old theater about to be demolished. You play Nancy and have to find clues, fix things, and search throughout the theater, including secret passageways. I'd rate this one at 4.5 stars.

A good bargain for plenty hours of fun and creative learning, as many of the clues and tasks are factual and realistic! Also, you will discover true facts about real people incorporated very creatively into the stories.

My favorite Nancy Drew PC games are: Danger on Deception Island, The Secret of Shadow Ranch, Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon and Ghost Dogs on Moon Lake. However, I like all 13 of the games. Number 14 is due to come out soon!

3.0 out of 5 stars Auto-Install Function Works for 2 out of 4, November 12, 2005

Just like the others on here, I had problems with the Auto-Install function on 2 out of the 4 games. Luckily, I was able to install the other 2 through my control panel-add programs. They worked just perfect after adding them the long way. I love Nancy Drew and this set is a great price for your money, just be aware for XP you may have to do some work to initially add them.
