Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion

If you thought the books were good, the games are way cooler! Full of intrigue, mystery and fun. You play a girl detective named Nancy Drew, who is helping her friend Rose turn an old mansion into a cozy inn. When things go awry and questions are asked, Nancy rolls up her sleeves and plunges into her next suspenseful mystery! While being the typical 'Who-done-it' type game, Her Interactive adds another element, making this a sure candidate for Game of The Year! Although boys might think this is a "sissy" game for little girls, don't be surprised if suddenly you find them at the computer unable to tear themselves away! Excellent graphics, unique gameplay, and absolute non-stop fun! I highly recommend this game, a must buy!!!!!

Enjoyed Nancy Drew at 7, still enjoying her at 57!

Thought "Message in a Haunted Mansion" would be a wonderful gift for my 8 year old grand-daughter. However, when she wasn't around I started playing the senior level and became addicted in the first 10 minutes. The graphics are a delight, the plot intriging and the hints and clues picked up much harder to put together then I anticipated. I haven't enjoyed any role playing game this much since the earlier Kings Quest (when you could still get through them without having to buy a hint book). Oh, and the last visit by my grand-daughter meant hours of fun as we played the game together. So, here I've evolved from reading Nancy Drew books as a youngster to playing Nancy Drew games as a grandmother. Who would have seen that one coming? Now, I'm off to purchase the first two Nancy Drew computer games! What a kick!

A GREAT GIFT

I just got this game for Christmas and even though I am only ten, and wasn't sure if I could do this game, it turned out to be my favorite computer game. This game is full of realistic looking people, puzzles, clues, tools,and much more It's hours of fun. My friend Lindsay and I enjoy the challenge and endlessly try to solve the mystery. After I solve this mystery I hope to get the whole collection of Nancy Drew games. I recommend this game for anyone over the age of ten. It is a fun game, but also a bit of a challenge. I think that you will be very satisfied if you order this game. It is a very fun game to play.

Fun for any Nancy Drew fan!!!

I am a huge Nancy Drew junkee! I collect the books and the computer games and I have been reading Nancy Drew since I was little. My friend recommended this software game to me because she knew I loved Nancy Drew and I went out and purchased it. Let me tell you... if you love Nancy Drew you'll love this game! In this game you portray world famous teen detective Nancy Drew. You have been summoned to San Francisco to solve a difficult mystery, a friend of your family who bought a Victorian mansion has been having some.. problems. It looks like sabotage... but who is doing it and why? That's your job to find out. This game will give you hours of fun and you'll feel great when you finally solve the mystery (Not that I have, even on "Junior Detective" it's pretty hard.) And before I stop typing I have one more thing to say. I know Nancy Drew has a reputation of being for girls... but even though this box says "For Girls 10 and up", it shouldn't. If you like mysteries and have some time on your hands, it does not matter what sex you are. You will still love this game. So buy it already! I promise you wll not regret your purchase.

Loved the Game just as much as the Books... Maybe More!

This computer Game, ... is truly a fun and exciting game. I was somewhat reluctant to play this game, but once I started it, I was hooked! The plot was well developed, with exciting twists and turns throughout the game. The characters were minimal, but I suppose that was alright. The puzzles could be a little bit difficult, but you were able to choose from different levels of difficulty.
I recommend this game to people who are looking for something that will keep their interest and who will enjoy a fun filled and mystery solving game. I loved it and I hope you will, too!

DO NOT MISS!

This is a great adventure game. It kept me hooked, I played through the whole thing in 4 days! Great Graphics. It was also kind of spooky, which is definetly a good thing. My favorite game in the Nancy Drew series. It is not easy, though, and I only got through it because of its great website...But overall, an awsome game.

Really good

I've played mostly all of the nancy drew games (just ordered the Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake **crossing my fingers for it to be good!**)and this one was the first one ive played, and the best one ive played! it is so awesome! it pretty much scared the pants off me and my friends! the part where the light flickers made me jump out of my seats! lol! and it kept our hearts racing, brow sweating, and butts at the end of our seats the whole time! it really was intriguing and kept you going the whole time. the only thing was that you had to get every single clue before you could, well...*ahem* solve it. but besides that, it was really kule! :D

Another Great Game!
