The game was great. I enjoyed the graphics and the story line but the game was a bit too easy and short. There weren't a lot of puzzles and clues but overall, I still enjoyed it.

Nancy, Bess, George and Ned are participating in the clues challenge, right at home in River Heights, but Nancy is accused of burning the old town hall to the ground!

We know Nancy is being framed for arson, but we have to prove it! We get to play as Ned, George and Bess and drive around and explore River Heights while Nancy is in jail. Try a million ice cream flavors at scoop, meet Nancy's best enemy Deirdre, explore Nancy's bedroom and see mementos from past cases. Discover who has it out for Nancy.

This game is so much fun, getting to play as all the different characters and seeing Nancy's house. This is a wonderful game!

This was my first ND game that I played after a very long hiatus (a 5 year hiatus to be exact). I was hesitant to purchase after reading reviews on the Shattered Medallion and a few other recent games but I went for it and am Im so glad I did!

Graphics 7/10- They weren't stunning but they were good and got the job done!

Setting and Music 8/10-I loved that it was set in River Heights! My only complaint would be that I wish we could explore more of the town but the little snippet we get to see is awesome! The music fit the mood of the game perfectly.

Characters 10/10- The option of playing as George, Bess, Nancy, and Ned was so much fun! I felt like I got to know them so much better and seeing them "in person" was so cool! Deirdre was hilarious and the rest of the characters were engaging and had depth.

Plot 9/10- This game put a twist on most games because of the fact that Nancy is in jail. I loved how that changed this up and the plot itself was fast paced and very interesting. I never got while playing bored like I have at times in some of the more recent ND games. Playing as the different characters really make things fun because all the characters reacted differently to the character you were playing with and you got to see the case from 4 different points of view. All in all I loved the plot! I'm an extreme wuss when it comes to ghosts so I also liked the fact that this game didn't have any dead people in it (but thats just me personally 😉 )

Puzzles 6/10- This was really my only con about the game. There were quite a few puzzles that I had to consult a walkthrough for because they were so tedious. I like the puzzles to be challenging but so much that it either takes me an out to figure out or I can't figure it out at all! They were also really oddly placed and some honestly didn't need to be there.

Conclusion 10/10- Great conclusion! Very exciting.

Took me around a 8-9 hours to complete.

I loved this game and might even replay it soon because it was just so good! It got me addicted all over again and now I have almost run out of games before I have to wait for the new one in May!

Don't get me wrong the game was fun, and getting to play as Bess, George, Nancy, AND Ned was awesome! I also loved how Nancy's dad got to be a helpful character and not just constantly worried for her safety. That said, a few of the puzzles in this game made me cringe. They weren't necessarily hard to figure out, they were just SO tedious. One puzzle in particular I looked up on the wiki because making the right decisions took so long. Also, I finished this game in just under 5 hours. I've never finished a Nancy Drew game quite so quickly. I would recommend this game for the fun mechanics and great plot. I would not recommend it if you're looking for a game you can get stuck in for a while. It's definitely one of the shorter contributions to the series.

I didn't think there was a game in this series that would take over first place. I was pretty convinced that The Deadly Device was going to keep that #1 spot...and then I played this one. I absolutely LOVE THIS GAME! I really like the fact that you get to switch back and forth between Nancy, Ned, George, and Bess. While most of the conversations stay relatively the same no matter who talks to who, there are some moments where one character will get a little further than the other members of Team Danger. I would love to see a future ND game employ this tactic again and let Nancy's friends help her solve a case! This game is a must play.

I have been playing Nancy Drew games for years and I loved this game so much. The plot was really cool, how Nancy had to get out of jail. It was also pretty kid friendly, I was able to play it with my seven year old cousin, who found the puzzles fun and the characters relatable. Nice work!

This is my FAVORITE Nancy Drew game! The puzzles are fun and it keeps u guessing who the culprit is. If u haven't played it, U GOTTA!!! :3

While I am a huge sucker for the more 'creepy' Nancy Drew games, like the ones with graveyards and spooky music, I still would say this one is the best. Only complaint is I ended up doing a few things out of order and sometimes I would say or hear things in dialog that were not yet relevant to what I knew in the game yet. Also I had so many hours of gameplay done before I found that news van! But this game is excellent.

I have always been a fan of nancy drew and I have always played these games since they first came out.
I love this one because it includes great game play, but I think what mostly entertained me what that it was Nancy's hometown. I LOVED experiencing where she lives and grew up. All of the GREAT character development really pulled me into her life.

Thank you for this insight on Nancy's home life and a great gaming experience!

I love all the Nancy Drew games, but this by far is one of my favorites. You get to meet so many characters from Nancy's home town and solve a unique mystery. It isn't scary like some of the others, so it is great if you are new to the Nancy Drew series. I have played this one multiple times in a row and it is still fun! Great Job Her Interactive! 🙂
