Summary: ¡Bienvenido al mundo de los maya!
Review: I have played all the Nancy Drew titles from Her Interactive, and Secret of the Scarlet Hand (based on Nancy Drew book 125) is the best (and most impressive) of the lot. In this adventure Nancy is the new deputy curator at Beech Hill Museum in Washington D.C. The museum is almost ready to open its most impressive exhibit: a large collection of priceless Maya artifacts on loan from the Mexican government and private collectors. But shortly before the opening, one of the prized jade carvings is stolen from under Nancy's nose. The only clue is a vivid red handprint and a message in Maya glyphs left by the thief.First, let me say that, as someone who is seriously considering a master's degree in museum studies, this game was an absolute delight! The museum is filled with nooks and crannies to explore: the curator's office, the exhibition hall, a three-storey Maya temple, gardens, shipping and receiving and the lab, filled with neat gadgets such as an analyzer, foam packing machine, ham radio and more, all of which help Nancy on her quest. "Secret of the Scarlet Hand" simply offers more locations than previous games, more characters/suspects, and a much deeper storyline. Nancy travels to different locations by subway, with a static image overlay as the various station lights light up on the metro map. Graphics are, as always, beautiful. The Maya artifacts are photo realistic, extremely detailed and vibrant. Music and ambient sounds are more pronounced than in previous ND games. The score features haunting panpipes, rainforest birdcalls, and flamenco, along with more ominous mood music-although some reviewers though the music was too repetitive, I found that the soundtrack greatly enhanced the gaming experience. This is definitely the most educational of the Nancy Drew games. Players must write down references to Mayan language, religion, rulers and more since there are three temple quizzes that Nancy must pass to progress in the game. Since it is set in a museum, the educational elements fit right into the game world without seeming out of place. "Scarlet Hand" is also the most difficult of the ND games to date, relying on a great deal of snooping, reading, Morse code transmissions in Spanish, telephone calls, and beating puzzles to progress in the investigation, but the great story and characters make it worth it. Parents may find themselves roped into aiding investigations and end up playing the game themselves-there is plenty of variety in the various puzzles and tasks to keep the game interesting. Once again, Her Interactive has provided young girls with a positive, nonviolent role model in Nancy, and "Scarlet Hand" will be sure to thrill Nancy Drew/mystery fans, museum fans, and anyone looking for an engaging cultural journey. Not just for kids, "Secret of the Scarlet Hand" is an intelligent, gorgeous mystery with Mexican flavour and intrigue.

Summary: I love Nancy Drew!
Review: My daughter says :) , I am 10 years old and I have played all the games except for the Haunted Carousel. Treasure in the Royal Tower was my first game. I liked all of them, but this one is my favorite. Nancy is in a baffling mystery now. She is looking for a treasure, belonging to queen Marie Antoinnete. But a culprit is trying to as well, And he/she will do dangerous traps for Nancy to stop. So with Professor Hodgekiss and a few other suspects to choose from , Nancy Drew has a mind baffling case to solve. But remember,NEVER TRY AND GUESS WHO.the captor is a dangerous person, dangerous enough to lock Nancy out in the snow. Keep a notebook and win this mind-puzzling case.

Review: I have and have played the first four Nancy Drew games and part of number seven and I thought this one was the best! I loved the characters and the setting was amazing! I felt like I was there. It didn't take me too long to finish it but it wasn't as short as Secrets can Kill either. If you're having trouble deciding which Nancy Drew game to buy, I recomend Treasure in the Royal Tower to you!

Summary: Nancy Wins Again!
Review: In this Nancy Drew Mystery Nancy is working as a deputy currator at Beech Hill Museum. She is working with Mayan Artifacts and is having a good time until a treasured piece is stolen and another one left in danger. There are several other mysteries all with the same clue left behind...a mysterious red hand print. Can Nancy save the museum? Buy this today. I also reccomend Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake and The Haunted Carousel, which is coming in mid July.

Summary: A Great Mystery!!!!!!!
Review: In this ND Game, Nancy is visiting her friend Maya in St. Louis. The mystery takes place at the little old Royal Paladium Theater. The theater was built in 1925 originally as a magic show building and was turned into a movie house in the 50s. However, the last screening movie "Vanishing Destiny"s star, Brady, is to be interviewed by Maya 3 days before the theater will be torn down. But when Maya is kidnapped, it is a race against time as you (Nancy Drew) have to find her in a mere 3 days!!!!! This game is challenging, and involves you using your best detective skills. This game is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
