The Best Nancy Drew Mystery Game - The Whole Family Loves It

My 11-year-old daughter recently received her copy of the Nancy Drew - Treasure in the Royal Tower, and the whole family (including her four brothers) are fascinated by it.

The graphics and characters in this game are very realistic, and the built-in hints are just enough to keep her moving along in the mystery. As a parent, I am glad to see these games geared toward girls, since it seems like many of the games are more suited for the boys. It improves her "computer confidence" as she masters the skills needed to solve the mystery.

This is my daughter's second game in this series. She had received the previous game in the series, Message in a Haunted Mansion, for Christmas last year, and she loved every minute of it.

It may be from "Her" Interactive, but the whole family loves this game. Her five siblings like to gather around the computer and watch as she makes her way through the spooky old castle, interviewing potential suspects and solving the puzzles.

We can't wait for the next one!

Nancy's best virtual mystery yet!

The Her Interactive Nancy Drew games have improved with each new release. Nancy Drew Treasure in the Royal Tower is the perfect combination of mystery and complications. The puzzles on the Junior level aren't so hard, that they drive you crazy, but not so easy that you scoff. The mystery is intriguing and exciting. Each suspect was more suspicious as the game went on, and only the smoothest of detectives will be able to predict who is the culprit!

This mystery has less holes then Secrets can Kill, and each new clue leads to the next. It has the excellent case of 'Mansion' and the complex characters of Stay Tuned for Danger. I rarely found myself at a loss for places to go or people to talk to.

A true Nancy Drew mystery, with everything from sneaking into a locked up room, to questioning the suspects about everything! Bess, George and Ned are always there to help you, though sometimes they BOTH (Bess and George are together on George's phone) give you the same hint. Be observant and stay on your toes...you never know, that little out of place panel or odd door, may lead you to the successful ending to the case!

Hint: Remember to stay calm, puzzles and upseting happenings should always make you think harder, not frantically. Also, thoroughly search every room for a hint or clue. Never disregard a book or a piece of paper. Check in regularly with Bess, George and Ned, and you will stay on the right track. Happy Snooping!

Indeed a 'Treasure'!

It seemed like a long period between NANCY DREW MESSAGE IN A HAUNTED MANSION and 'TREASURE', but the wait was worth it! This adventure finds Nancy on a ski vacation where the hotel is a former old castle. That setting and the fact a snow blizzard has forced everyone to stay inside means lots of mystery and intrigue going on within the stone walls of this gigantic building. Hallways that lead nowhere, walls that have been enclosed and a history crying to be discovered! As any Nancy Drew fan knows...discovering anything is what she does best!

As with the other Nancy Drew games, this one provides hours of fun for the whole family. We didn't hurry through it...just took our time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. What do we do with the Nancy Drew games when we're done? Send them on to other family members to enjoy as well, and it's not just girls and their parents that solve the mysteries but, even older boys in the family love each and every Nancy Drew (though I doubt they would admit it to their friends.) As always, now we sit back and wait for "Her Interactive" to come up with a new game for those of us addicted to the Nancy Drew mysteries.

Another Winner from Herinteractive!

Nancy Drew is on another exciting adventure, and you can solve with her! For those of you who remember the Nancy Drew books, here is another way to enjoy your favorite teen detective. HerInteractive has come up with 4 great games for your PC and now for you Gameboy Advance. But Treasure in the Royal Tower is by far the best game so far. You are Nancy Drew, the cunning teen detective, and you are visiting a ski lodge, which contains an old tower which was brought here from France many years ago. The tower was once a favorite spot for the late Queen of France. You must find the queen's tower, and the treasure. Do so while meeting new people, calling old friends, and picking up clues. Escape from some close calls and frightening experiances. Try the game on both levels and have a blast. It is worth every penny you spend, and more. Bottom line- GET IT!

Great Mystery!

I was quite disappointed with this new addition to the series. It seems to have so many flaws and inconsistencies. As just one example, there are many places where you can't rotate 360 degrees and navigation becomes quite a problem. I wound up going places I didn't want to go on numerous occasions simply because the program wouldn't let me turn around. Another problem with the game is that it seems very sloppy. If you come at something from one angle, a door is there; if you come at it from another angle, the door has disappeared. It's a cute game, and I don't mean to imply otherwise. However, I think Her Interactive should have delayed the release until the many flaws were worked out. I thought Message in a Haunted Mansion was far superior technically.

A Great game!

Nancy Drew arrives at Wickford Castle to ski, when a blizzard hits! While you're locked in, you explore the castle and meet some interesting suspects, Dexter, the co-owner, always wants you to run errands for him, and seems sort of grumpy, could he be hiding a secret about the castles history? Lisa, a photo journalist, too friendly? And if she's a photo journalist, where's the camara? Professer Hotchkiss, she never leaves her room, and never seems to want to talk, is she hiding something? Jacues Brunais, ski instructer, only works from 9am to 12pm and 2pm to 5pm, where is he the rest of the time? Explore the castle, and find secret passage ways, solve puzzles, and find the Treasure in the Royal Tower!

Great mystery solving opportunity

I am a a29 year old mom, who's been a Nancy Drew fan forever. My 7 year old son and I can sit for hours trying to figure out the clues, and find our way down the secret passages. This game is the most fun I've had in a long time, and is a must, not just for girl sleuths, but for boys and grown up Nancy Drew fans alike. It really makes those pages of the popular books come to life, and I'm hoping I get another title for my birthday!
