How do rumors start? Someone tells someone something and it magically morphs into something else as it get passed from person to person. Rumors can be false information that spreads or truths that have been greatly exaggerated. We speculate about who likes who, who failed their test, who has been saying mean things about other people, etc. You can't avoid gossip and rumors, especially in school, but you do learn to question your sources and fact check every rumor. It's a little like doing detective work.
Which brings us to Nancy Drew, who's doing the same kind of detective work to figure out who's sending Black Cat notes to the valedictorian candidates in Warnings at Waverly Academy. She's in your shoes, trying to get to the bottom these viscious rumors that are running dangerously close to actual threats. As the new girl in school, she needs to figure out the social cliques, work on projects, and try to solve the mystery! That's a pretty tall order for our super sleuth, but something tells me, she's up to the case.
To prepare for the case, Nancy would research background information on the suspects - the residents of Ramsey Hall or Val Can Hall (short for Valedictorian Candidate Hall). We've managed to find the Twitter feeds for her fellow dormmates. You should follow their posts closely to see what kind of information you can gather about them. They only message each other and the @ symbol denotes that they are talking to a particular person instead of the whole group. If you're already a Twitter member, follow the girls to see the story unfold in real time over the next two weeks.

When you're launching two titles from Her Interactive within, 2-3 weeks of each other, the games tend to run together. We know you're still playing Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships, but we have a lot of more games for our fans to try this year. In addition to the sequel to Nancy Drew Dossier: Lights, Camera, Curses, we also have our first game for the Hardy Boys on the Nintendo DS. We thought it would interesting to see what would happen when we mashed together Nancy Drew Dossier: Resorting to Danger and The Hardy Boys: Treasure on the Tracks.
Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Super Mystery: Treasure at the Redondo (this is not a real game and not historically accurate!)
Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys are invited to the Redondo Spa to search for the Romanov Family treasure. It is rumored that Czar Nicholas hid the crown jewels in the mansion in case the family could return to Russia safely. In fact, legend says that one of the decedents the Romanov family (perhaps Anastasia) lived at the manor for some time before before she sold it to the Bell family. No one knows if the treasure is hidden here or if there are any remaining bloodlines for the Romanov family. Recently, a prankster has been planting bombs at the Redondo to scare off the clients and damage the spa's reputation. Is the bomber trying to clear the Redondo of guests so they can find the missing Romanov treasure for themselves? Find out in Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Super Mystery: Treasure at the Redondo!
Hmmm, that could be a fun mystery... If fans play Nancy Drew Dossier: Resorting to Danger (available at Best Buy, online, and for download) and The Hardy Boys: Treasure on the Tracks for Nintendo DS(preorder online, or go to Gamestop and Best Buy on 9/8) at the same time, they might have a somewhat comparable experience.
Which Her Interactive games would you mash together and what would the plot be?
