Amazon.com Product Description

Roll up your sleeves, get out your detective's notebook, grab your magnifying glass, and step into the world of Nancy Drew by solving your very own mystery. In Message in a Haunted Mansion, Nancy has flown to San Francisco to help out an old family friend who is turning a beautiful but dilapidated Victorian house into a bed-and-breakfast. Nancy gets set to help with the renovation and is told about the strange goings-on and "accidents." Always eager to solve a mystery, Nancy is determined to uncover the cause of the problems plaguing the renovation of the old mansion (some believe that the mansion is haunted). The game features realistic characters--each with a secret to hide--a multistory mansion, and lots of hidden crannies to explore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Mystery Game Yet!!!, June 6, 2002

I have to say this is the best mystery game I have seen in a while! It's not just for girls either. My son(age 9) and I have played every Nancy Drew game so far together. We have so much fun. It takes about 3 weeks for us because we spread it out and play 1 or 2 hours a night. It makes it last longer. The mysteries are very interesting. There are puzzles and clues to figure out. The people and the graphics are great. Mysterious people, objects, crimes, etc. You can SAVE the game whenever you want. There is a herinteractive.com website for help if you get truly stuck in the game. (Only first time Nancy Drew players usually get stuck until you understand the game.) It's not scary at all. Adults who like mystery games will like this too. The ending is always cool. I recommend this for everyone! Have fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars great concept, but..., January 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion (Video Game)

I am a 31 yr old female gamer. Just so you know where I a coming from...I enjoy the concept and idea of this game and it is true that the graphics are great, but it is way too dark in a lot of parts of it and I find myself holding it just right to try to see, even with one of those game boy lights. Growing up with Nancy Drew books I would buy this game even with that down fall. I hope they come out with more mystery games like this one. It is nice to be able to find myself thinking about who is behind the accidents and where to find clues and excited when I find more. The no save feature does not bother me because it is easy to start in the beginning of each chapter and get caught up to where you left off. I hope this was helpful.

This is one fantastic game! As I said in the title it's got great graphic, it is interesting and keeps you trying to figure out who done it. Well worth it! Thumbs up for this new concept I haven't seen much in games before!
