I think this is an awesome game. The graphics are great and you actually believe you're Nancy Drew. I think this is a must have for all Nancy Drew fans.

Secret's Can Kill--and so can these brain teasers

Well, this game was great at first. I found the clues on the bulletin boards and talked to the suspects. But there were many places that were just too hard. I still haven't reached the end of the mystery. I couldn't figure out how to get into the pharmacy. It took me weeks to figure out how to get into the teachers lounge. I think Hal Tanaka did it, but it's hard to be sure. She accused him, and he denied it. No one else will let me talk to them anymore and I have the tape from Jake's locker, but I'm stuck. So, this may be for kids, but it was a little too hard for someone my age, and even for my dad. I'm not saying that you should make it so easy that it's unbearable, but just try to make it less stressful. Hey, it's a great game! I loved the mystery of everything--great music too! I just think it's too hard to get to the bottom of the mystery.

A wonderful game for girls about age 7 or 8 and up...( I as an adult love this game). You think about it when your not playing and can't wait to come back to it. My 13 year old daughter has been playing it for about 2 years and loves it. Its challenging and really encourages intuitiveness. A great game for all levels of children!

Not just for kids....

I bought this game for my daughter, who was then able to guide me through the game! What a great game...rich graphics, clever riddles...a treat for anyone who loves, or loved, to spend time immersed in a Nancy Drew book.

Incredible game for girls

Finally a game that not only is designed for girls but is awesome too. My daughters (ages 10, 12 and 14) started playing it and within six hours had about 30 PostIt notes all over the sides of the monitor keeping track of clues to the solving the case. They finally solved the case after about 20 hours of intense teamwork playing and now play the game over again with each of their friends. The installation was so easy my 10 year old did it in about ten minutes on her own. The quality of the game is great and some of the graphics in the game are so real they look like photographs. I just ordered the new Nancy Drew game, "Stay Tuned for Danger" for their Christmas gift and another copy of "Secrets Can Kill" for their nieces Christmas gift.

The Best Game Yet

I just bought this for my daughters age 10 and 13. They are both so excited about playing it. It is a wonderful fun creative game. I can't believe that they are solving some of your clues with such little information. What great software. Fabulous game.

Overall a Fun Game

This was one of the best computer games I have ever played. As a long time Nancy Drew fan, I was thrilled to finnaly get a chance to be a "detective." For the most part the game was great. It was fun to solve the mystery and interview suspects, however there were some techical dificulties. The game was slow at times, and froze sometimes. The two CDs got to be annoying, because you were forced to switch often, and this process took a minute or two. If you can deal with these annoyances, you are sure to love this game.

The best Christmas present my daughter received....

After all the presents were unwrapped, this was the one that really interested by 12 year old daughter. We worked on it together, a few hours each day for about a week, until we solved the mystery. I think I enjoyed it as much as she did. It was so much fun to see her so involved, trying to logically figure out this mystery, using all hering reasoning skills. I've already ordered the other Nancy Drew software for her birthday. It's hard to find an item that you and your child both find enjoyable and challenging. It was fun to see her so "into" this game.

Good Job

Mom's review: I bought this for my 10 year old daugther, and she loves it. While she hasn't solved the case yet she has enjoyed hours of finding clues and moving through the case.

Persistence, and thinking carefully pays off with this game. So do good notes. The graphics are great and Nancy's magnifying glass changes color when directed at a clue or direction in which she can move

Kymmi's review: I really liked "Secrets Can Kill" It's really exiting when you hear the freaky music when you're alone in one room. The way you talk to someone when you're Nancy Drew is so cool they actually give you choices on what to say. I would rate this Cd rom an eight because it's a really good game but it's realy hard and adult. Because I'm only ten. But if I were 12 or 13 I would rate it a 10.
