Dare to Play!

I had a great time in Pasadena meeting fans of the Nancy Drew games at the Sleuth Convention. The lectures about Nancy's history and gradual change through the years fascinated me. One speaker talked about her upcoming book Nancy Drew's guide to life and asked an audience member to write SOS in lipstick backwards with her hands tied behind her back - a very important skill to learn! Another speaker challenged the view that Bess was a couch-potato, but rather a very active young lady who preferred to do other non-sports related activities. What an interesting day!

While I demoed the games, Jenjer and her friend came up to me to tell me that she had just finished White Wolf of Icicle Creek and had some suggestions for future games. It was so great to hear directly from our fans about both the good and bad things about the Nancy Drew games. When you tell us what you think, we can make changes. And while we won't be able to make all the changes you request, at least our game designers will have your suggestions in mind when they create a new game. She mentioned that she loves learning new things from the games and keeps a nifty countdown calendar in her office!

Another fan told me that she made her boyfriend play the Fox and Geese puzzle because it was so hard! It's definitely a tricky puzzle that takes a little planning - I usually try to bait the fox in order to corner it. Was that puzzle too hard? We wanted to make it challenging, but we don't want to frustrate you either.

It was great meeting everyone that came to the conference and I hope to see more of you guys soon at other events. :) Or you can always write us at feedback@herinteractive.com - we love hearing from you.
