Nancy Drew’s 90th Anniversary!
April 28th, 2020
On this day in 1930, the first Nancy Drew book was released. Ninety years later, she is still solving mysteries! Happy Anniversary, Nancy Drew! *Edit – I fixed the date. Somehow I’m stuck in 2019… sorry about that! XD
A great fan-made video was posted to YouTube today featuring the first author of the Nancy Drew books, check it out!
Also, I’ve been working on some new merchandise for Teespring. Even if the art isn’t very intriguing, I’m still excited that we now have Nancy’s matching throw pillows, fleece blankets and comforters direct from her bed set, featured in Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes! Shop on Teespring for your Nancy Drew decorations!

Hi LJ,
I don’t mean to nitpick but shouldn’t the picture at the top say 1930-2020?
Hey! Just noticed the dates on the 90th anniversary graphic aren’t quite correct. It says 1930-2019 instead of 1930-2020. Just thought I’d point that out!
Of course, I understand that in the current quarantine realities, communication with the community is more difficult, but it is very sad that Her Interactive did not prepare anything worthwhile to pay tribute to the character that feeds them … Also, the poster says 2019 … ten years back, the community was worth something for the company, and now, every year, the company is moving further away and increasingly letting its fans down. It’s sad … How can you relate to the legacy of decades? After all, we know very well that you can do better! After all, Her Interactive gave us so many happy years…
But! I still congratulate everyone on the anniversary of Nancy Drew! For 90 years, I can’t believe it!
Hi Denis, I apologize for the year error – I fixed it. HeR Interactive will be celebrating later this summer in honor of Nancy’s 90th anniversary.
You know what’s interesting is if Nancy was a real person in order for her to have been eighteen in 1930, she would have needed to be born in 1912. So technically Nancy is 108 years old.
#ForeverYoung and yes, Nancy has lived a LONG time!
I think my mathcould be wrong, but I think 1930-2019 is 89 years.
Hello again budford! Yep, we had other fans notice this error. I’ve corrected it!
Hi Little Jackalope! I was just wondering if you guys have ever considered making a Nancy Drew adult coloring book? I know you have on the website under the downloads section that you have coloring book pages of some of the games, I have a few of them hanging on my bedroom door, I have Ghost Of Thornton Hall, The Silent Spy, Alibi In Ashes and The Haunted Carousal ones but since it’s her 90th anniversary I thought maybe you guys can make one in honor of that.
Hi Jillian! I don’t think we will be able to add any coloring books or even more coloring pages at this time. 🙁 It’s a terrific idea, though!
Will there be a game released for the celebration this summer?
Hi Amanda! I don’t believe we will have a new game for this summer. But keep an eye out for when we do have news about the next game!
