![]() ![]() Learning and Video Games are not mutually exclusive!I love that you never see her face. It’s seamlessly integrated into the games and is completely central to solving the overarching problem. In “Secret of the Old Clock” we go Back in Time to Nancy’s beginnings (the very first ND book shares the same title), where I learned about Hobo Codes, Midsummer Night’s Dream, and how mentalists fool their audiences. I like that I always learn something in a Nancy Drew game: In “Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake,” I learned about speakeasies and the start of the National Parks project. You DO however get to block a crazy French fashion designer’s fake karate until she tires out and collapses. So you don’t end up shooting anybody (which might be a bit of a disappointment to some). Yeah, we’d karate chop her too…But don’t worry! With the exception of the first game, there are no murders, and no real violence. Here there are entire manor houses, entire castles to explore – drawers to rifle through, phone calls to eavesdrop on, secret passages to find, and finally … a culprit to face down and defeat. You play in first person as Nancy herself, sleuthing through the environments, talking to people, finding clues, solving puzzles. So she hops a plane to … (England, Arizona, Ireland, what have you). Each one starts the same way: Someone needs help, and only Nancy can help them. These are completely immersive environments with graphics that become more sophisticated with each game. Usually the Fall title is a spookier mystery with lots of seasonally appropriate ambience (It’s a blizzard at the Boarding School! What’s that howling in the English Manor House? ), while the Spring/Summer title is more like a vacation (Welcome to a Deserted Island! How about a trip to Venice?) Since their first title “Secrets Can Kill” in 1998, Her Interactive has consistently put out two titles a year. Honestly, sometimes I start on Junior Detective in case of a dreaded slider puzzle. ![]() You choose between Junior and Senior Detective, and the key differences here is the absence of a Task List in Senior (you’d be surprised how handy this is, even for experienced gamers) and how hard the puzzles are. While these games are perfectly appropriate for younger people (I wouldn’t recommend them for small children-the narratives are too complex and the puzzles too sophisticated), it really is a game for everyone who values story and snooping above all else in gaming.
