Summary: Wanted To Like It, But Too Many Bugs
Review: This seemed like a really cool game, no matter what your age. But even though I had all the requirements that the manufacturer said was needed to run the game successfully, it crashed several times and needed to be reinstalled. Even then, it wasn't great: the graphics were dark, the flashlight didn't work, and the diagram under the hood of the boat was missing. The game also lets you wander around lost in the woods for an inordinately long time -- I have better things to do. Thumbs Down on this one.

Summary: an overall okay game
Review: I have played all the Nancy Drew games and this one is overall a good game, but not my favourite. The graphics are excellent, they keep getting better and better. The next game after this, Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake is even better, I cannot wait for the Haunted Carousel to come out!

Summary: A Little more information than we needed......
Review: This was a pretty good game although the mayan info was very wordy and way more detail oriented for "age 10" which they set as the age limits for this game. It involved alot of note taking and a bit too much detail work. I'd say more like 14 and up. I applaud Her Interactive though for bringing out this whole series. Mostly, they are great fun and continue to get better and better.

Summary: FABULOUS!
Review: Playing Treasure in the Royal Tower marked one of the most exciting moments of my life. I also got a tingle of excitement when playing Final Scene and Message in a Haunted Mansion. I had always wanted a computer game like this and here it is!!!

Summary: it was great...best one yet!
Review: Ghost dogs of moon lake was awesome. The setting of a spooky lake was a great idea, because there has never been a nancy drew game like that before. The game starts out with you in your friend's cabin trying to figyre out the mystery of why and how ghost dogs attack your friend's house at night. You experience this attack the first night you are there. In the game, you must do many tasks for people. Sometimes, you are doing 3 at once, and that can be overwhelming and frustrating. There is also a forest with a trail behind your house. Theres is a semetery way back at the end of it. Finding the semetery is very hard the first couple of times, and don't try to find it at night your first try. Walk the trail first in the day, because there are so many ways you can get lost, and you will slowly memorize the more times you walk it. Some things that are challenging in the game are: putting out a fire, getting to the keep easy, and more.Thegameis very challenging, so I recommend it for ages 11-16. IN THIS GAME YOU HAVE A PDA. LOOK AT IT VERY VERY OFTEN!!!!! Without your PDA, there is no way you could win the game. This game is very exciting, and i don't think i can think of any cons in it!Truly, this game is a pleasurable edition to the nancy drew computer game series. Keep making more!!

Summary: It is GREAT!!!
Review: The Final scene is really great, when I bought it, I rush to my room to play it; it's is really fun! Through it didn't beat my favourite one, Message at the Haunted Mansion, partly because sometimes it is hard I got stumped, and even sometimes, I don't know what to do! When I got stumped, I always visit the website for help. BUT I am still STUCK at Day 3 for now! I RECOMMED this to anyone who loves solving a good mystery.

Summary: Very Good Game
Review: This is the second best Nancy Drew game that I have played. The setting is in an old theater. You are trying to find who kidnapped your friend reporter, Maya Nguyen, because she dissapeared in Brady Armstrongs dressing room. You only have three days to do it before the theater is knocked down. I loved this game. It has very many surprises along the way. The puzzles are easier than most Nancy Drew games. Thanks for reading my review.

Summary: You don't have to be a kid to like this one!
Review: Okay, I'll admit it. I'm old enough to be Nancy Drew's grandmother, but I still liked this game. It was challenging enough (on "senior" detective level) to keep an experienced gamester like me satisfied, and I enjoyed the lack of gore and foul language which seems to be mandatory for most games today. The graphics were very good, and the plot was interesting (you can read all the stuff about Marie Antoinette if you want a history lesson, or skip it and go for the mystery). It was a bit "confining" since almost all the action takes place in the one castle, but at least you get to go outdoors a couple of times. All in all, a nice game to spend a few hours on -- good enough for me to get others in the series.

Summary: SEE HER USE HER BRAIN---AND LIKE IT!
Review: A game that makes them think,and does not offend the senses!
I got this for my nine year old and she LOVES it! It sparked a passion for the books as well and and interest in anything related to detective work! It was wonderful to see her so enjoy a game that was not a tear-em-up nightmare! I will be buying ALL of the other Nancy Drew games for her!

Summary: Fun & Educational!
Review: My 13 year old daughter received this game for Christmas, and she really enjoyed playing it. In fact, there is a new one out and we are about to order it. I played along with my daughter, and I had fun too! I was really surprised at the amount of learning that went on. This really gets into the Mayan Gods, etc., and you spend a lot of time learning as you are playing.
My 10 year old daughter found this a little difficult. I had to help her often, so I wouldn't buy this for anyone younger. Great game!
