Yet Another Great ND Game

I have been playing the Nancy Drew games for a few years now, and have found that with each one the graphics, intrigue & fun just keep getting better & better.

In "Danger by Design" Nancy agrees to go to Paris to help a nervous investor of Minette's House of Fashion. He's nervous because Minette had begun acting very strangely & had fallen way behind on her new Spring collection - both of which could lead to a failed business venture.

Once there, Nancy becomes aware of several threatening letters the designer had received, as well as a number of rumors concerning artwork that had been stolen during World War II that may be hidden in the old Wind Mill that now serves as Minette's House of Fashion. Could they be related some how?

As Nancy Drew, you will find yourself snooping around for clues, working to earn the money needed to buy several needed items, solving various puzzles, and ultimately putting all the information together to solve the mysteries surrounding Minette & the stolen artwork.

Overall, I loved "Danger by Design". It has the best graphics to date for an ND game & it was great fun to play. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed playing other such games, as well as those who enjoyed (or are enjoying) reading the ND series.

Fun and mind boggling!

The Nancy Drew series have always been great. Although not one of the best, this game was both challenging and fun. This game only lacked a bit of a story. I was very suprised when the game ended. I was like, "That's it?" It wasn't one of the better ones, but it is definately worth the money.

Travel to Paris in Style, and in Undercover!

World renowned Nancy Drew is working for world renowned Minette, an American fashion designer in Paris. Nancy is undercover as an intern, determining to her father's friend, Amy Grunhild, Minette's financial advisor, whether Amy should pull the financial plug or not.

This Nancy Drew game is FABULOUS - the graphics are, of course, great. The storyline flows naturally. You get to make parfaits and mint-chocolate chip cookies, too! Travel on the Paris metro, to get around and to complete your tasks.

Characters:

Minette - American fashion designer in Paris.
Heather McKay - Minette's assistant, VERY talented at fashion.
Jean Michel Traquenard - editor for GlamGlam magazine, THE voice of the fashion world.
Dieter von Schwesterkrank - Fashion photographer, used to date Minette
Jing-Jing Ling - Australian model, near Minette's perfect size 12 on her cookie diet
On the phone you have: Bess and George, Frank and Joe, Hugo Butterly, and others.

So! What are you waiting for? Don't you want to explore the City of Light's underground catacombs? And the food? And the park? I cross my heart, you HAVE to get this game! It is SOOO WORTH IT!!!

Danger by Design took me exactly 24 hours to beat it - just like it promises!

P.S. Once again, I also recommend the other 13 Nancy Drew mystery games.

Really fun!!

I really liked this game, excellent graphics(as in most of the ND games), and sense of adventure! Exploring the catacombs was cool and the new twists to this game. A little different from other ND games, but still good. However, my only complaint was not elaborating about the other characters at the end. Puzzles were challenging, one of the most challenging ND games.It was definately an improvement to the last ND game Last Train to BLue Moon Canyon

Another Classic

I just finished playing this game, and it was another great addition to the Nancy Drew line. It was challenging in parts, and definitely kept my interest. If you love ND mysteries, this one's for you!

I LOVE THIS GAME!!

To all people who say that this game stinks, CHILLL. I love this game. It was very good. It had many puzzles, it had plot, AND you got to ride the paris Metro and see Paris. The only bad part was that we should see the Eifell Tower, but still, we got to taste the food of France. CHILLLL people. and to those who haven't played, BUY IT N-O-W!!!!

one of the more challenging mysteries

This was my favorite in the series yet. The graphics are stunning the whole Paris/ Fashion vibe is Tres chic! There are many fun puzzles, including a shopping district where you can haggle with the locals. Go underground Paris for your most challenging Nancy Drew maze yet! (be prepared to get wet!)at the end of your game, see the sneak preview for the next PC game! hint: think tropical! Note: you may want to try junior detective before advancing to senior, as some of the games seem almost too difficult in junior mode..

Not the best of Nancy Drew, but still a winner!

I agree with other reviewers that the new packaging is flawed. I broke the disc to Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, so we are very careful with Danger by Design. I think this game would have been improved by sharing a little more Paris scenery. However, three of my grandchildren (ages 9 - 12) have played it and loved it. I have all 14 of the Nancy Drew adventures and we have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The graphics are good, the puzzles are just difficult enough without being totally frustrating, and the ease of use is perfect. I especially appreciate that the game is easy to save at every point of play, making it easy for the kids to sign off the computer when their time is up. Some Nancy Drew adventures are better than others, but you can't go wrong with any of them.
