this game was not as fun as i thought it would be but it was still fun, I think that it takes too long to be able get off the train.i think some of the puzzles are a Little bit too hard but some were fun to do. overall this game was pretty good

i think this one was very very good except for a few things. i just think its takes a very long time before you can get off the train but i dont have a really big problem with that. one thing that bothers me is that Nancy asked Tino Balducci for a pen but he makes you do this puzzle that takes like hours to solve couldnt he just give you a pen??!! the doll puzzle was hard but i liked the challenge. finding lori was exciting she has an interesting personality. how did she get food in there? i cant remember if they ever said. i like it when the Hardy boys are in Nancy Drew games as well.

I'm actually playing this game for the second time and I think it's awesome! I think Nancy Drew games are definatley playing over and over again type games! My two year old nephew loves trains (specifically Thomas) and the other day I tried to show him the game and the second I told him it was haunted, he walked away and I guess he isn't ready for ghostly trains yet, LOL!

I have played several ND games, and this one has been my favorite so far. I love the train. The puzzles and games were easy enough that they did not frustrate me, but they weren't so easy that I was bored. I wish that I could have been able to enter to rooms in the sleeper car. There were times when I got stuck, but that was because I had items to use in my inventory! I would recommend this game to both senior and junior detectives.

For those who aren't familiar yet with the ND-games, start with this one.

- Graphics: 7/10: For it's time, it's great. But if you play it in 2017, of course it could be better :--
- Setting 8/10: I love love love the trainsetting! Only the hop on-hop off between the trains was tiresome. Just the first time was enough.
- Characters 7/10: Meeting the Hardyboys is great of course, and the different characters gives the story a great 'whodunit'. There one 1 characters (I won't give any names) that's a bit useless, in my opinion. Not only in the ending, but in the whole plot.
- Plot 7,5/10: Good, but not all that great.
- Puzzles 8/10: Quite easy, actually. Once you get the hang of some puzzles, you'll be able to finish the other ones too.
- Total 7/10

This one was medium, I went on the website a few times (mainly when I didn't know what to do next, which happened a few times). It was mainly puzzles and at first you don't know what to do amd then you find like 20 that you do over time. The plot and ending was kind of dumb, but I liked learning about the train and the west. Even though the Hardy Boys didn't help like at all, they were fun to have around and to talk about with Bess and George. I liked this one, and puzzlers will like it even more!

Graphics 10/10: The graphic in this game are beautiful! Especially considering when it was released.



Setting 9/10: Having the main plot take place on a beautiful old fashioned train was amazing! There were SO many places to explore not only on the train but off of it! My oly complaint would be that going back and forth through the whole train got tiring at times but overall wonderful setting!



Characters 10/10: The amount of characters in this game was a wonderful addition to the mystery. All the characters had a lot of depth, personality and were all around a pleasure to talk to! Having Frank and Joe present was a huge plus as well!



Plot 6/10: This is where the game falls a little bit short for me. I didn't feel as it was much of a mystery game as trying to find a hidden location. Even at the end of the game I was still confused as to what the mystery was that I had just solved.



Conclusion 10/10: Completley unexpected and one of my favorite conclusions in the series!



Puzzles 7/10: If you like lots of puzzles you will LOVE this game. For me there were too many and it got old after awhile but I also prefer plot over puzzles so this is personal preference.



Total: 8/10



While not at thrilling as most ND games, its a great game for beginners that will keep you hooked beginning to end!

Nancy, Frank and Joe Hardy are invited on a train trip by rich girl Lori Girard, the goal is to discover where Jake Hurley's lost mine is. The old train is full of secrets and could even be haunted my Jake's wife Camille!



Play as Nancy, Joe and Frank. Explore the train, learn to dance, play leaping lizards, sort taffy, make hamburgers, visit Camille's crypt. This game is a lot of fun, exploring the train cars is great, plus Charleena Purcell is a real character in this game.

You know, this game really made me want to see the Hardy Boys get their own series like Nancy Drew!! Please?????!? That being said, this game was actually pretty fun. I loved the characters. Unlike some of the other ND games I have played (like Waverly), these characters were all well developed. They had their own personality, all of them were pretty different from each other (it was like the hostess invited complete polar opposites). I loved the detail on the train. Every car was unique, and clues were around every corner. You must put Charleena in more games. I simply love her character almost as much as I love the space cadet Professor Hotchkiss! And in true HI fashion, the phone conversations always make me laugh. Well done!!

This game is my favorite. The setting is so different from anything else in the other ND games, and you get to see the Hardy Boys! This game does fool you though- you don't really "play" as the Hardy Boys, but you are there.



The train is really cool. There's a lot crammed into those compartments and lots of secrets to unfold. You even get to see someone who you spoke with from Secret of Shadow Ranch.



The characters in this game are fun. They are deep and pretty different from one another. It's also cool how many of them tie into other games.



The mystery is a good one and the criminal is a surprise! I really enjoyed this one.
