Product Description

Edition: Jewel Case

From the Manufacturer

In Secret of the Scarlet Hand, you, as Nancy Drew, have taken on a summer intern position as Deputy Curator at the Beech Hill Museum in Washington, D.C. The museum specializes in ancient Maya culture and has just won a heated bidding war for the rights to borrow and display a strange Maya monolith recently excavated in Guatemala. While preparing for the exhibit Nancy learns about Maya culture and artifacts. When a thief nabs a prized piece from the museum, Nancy realizes that the missing artifacts may have more in common than just the thief’s signature scarlet handprint!

Nancy’s investigation will take her outside the museum walls and into the U.S. capitol where she meets characters at the Mexican Consulate, visits a hospital, and takes the D.C. subway. Will Nancy be able to put the pieces of this ancient puzzle together? Or will the mystery remain entombed forever?



Product Description

In Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand, the famous teen detective will unravel a series of robberies at a famous museum! An internship gives Nancy a crash course in Mayan culture. But when the artifacts go missing and the only clue is a mysterious scarlet handprint, she's on the case. Solve a series of thefts and unlock a Mayan riddle, as the famous teenage detective!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting characters; etc., August 14, 2005
By deb "debbie_lb" (Midwest USA) - See all my reviews
It's worth the purchase.
Very good graphics, sound effects, background music, and interesting interaction with characters. The historical aspect adds interest, as well. You have plenty of tasks to perform, and if you get stuck, you can find help via phonecalls in the game; or online at Her Interactive web site forum. Keep pen and paper nearby to take notes!

My favorite Nancy Drew games are: Danger on Deception Island, Secret of Shadow Ranch, and Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake. I like all of the ND games, however, and have played all more than once.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secret of the Scarlet Hand, March 19, 2005
Although I am 35 years old, I thoroughly enjoy playing the Nancy Drew Games. Being able to choose between 2 or 3 different levels of difficulty allows you to make the game harder or easier based on your knowledge of how the games work.

This particular game is one of my favorites (so far). Although it was a bit slow-going at first, my interest picked up quickly to the point where I wanted to play all of the time.

"Scarlet Hand" takes place in a museum which is currently getting ready to open a new feature on Mayan culture. Nancy Drew is originally hired to work as an assistant, but her detective skills become much more important after the most expensive piece in the collection is stolen - and all that's left behind is a scarlet hand print.

The graphics are great, and I found the tid-bits re: Mayan culture to be quite interesting! Just make sure to have a pad and pen by your side as you play this game, as there are many codes & bits of info. that you'll need to recall several times -- and at times much later in the game.

I highly recommend this series for anyone who enjoyed reading the Nancy Drew series.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you like Mayan history, this is the Nancy Drew for you , August 1, 2005
Not sure if the history is correct, but I hope so. There is lots of information to keep track of. I always felt as though I had accomplished something when I was able to answer the various questions asked throughout.

This is a different kind of Nancy Drew, which really kept me hopping. Couldn't wait to get back to it each time I had to leave it. The only reason I didn't rank with 5 stars is that there are a couple of tedious sections in which I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing.

If you buy this, you must stay with it to the end. It's that last puzzle that gave me chills.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Nancy Drew Game
I've played nearly every Nancy Drew Game. This one was hard, and wasn't that interesting. The "research" you need to do is boring, and tedious. Read more
