This is def in my top 3 fav Nancy drew games to date!! I got this game years ago and beat it and recently played it again because I loved it so much. the storyline is amazing and about a puppy love teenagers, heartbreak, treasure, and outlaws! plus has a bunch of cute animals. the puzzles are quite fun, even though its just chores mostly. I would play this game over and over its soooo fun and interesting

My daughter bought me this game to play on my first computer in the early 90s. It got me hooked on Nancy Drew games. The Secret of Shadow Ranch has always been a favorite. I just played it again this past week and enjoyed it so much. I still think it's one of the best of the Nancy Drew games. I'm 72 years old and still a fan of the Nancy Drew mysteries. You never get too old to "Dare to play." I recently played her latest release--Midnight in Salem--and thought it was very good. I hope they keep right on creating new games for many years to come.

Flashback to middle school years when I was 13 years old. I was at Fry's with mom and I discovered this game sitting on the self. I was looking for horses pc games to play and seeing a glowing horse on the front cover sold me. Little dod I know this was a mystery game, but I continued playing it. My brother would sir next to me and watched me play. This game got me hooked right from the start when playing and even introuduced me to play other ND games. This game is a classic and definitely one of the best. This game also introduced me to play more Nancy Drew. I still have the cd, but sadly I have mac and would love to get a copy of this game so I can play it again.

i Really enjoyed this game!! it was almost just like the book, and i liked riding the horse, and doing the chores especially baking the cake the cookout was fun,the ending was fun this is one of my favorite Nancy drew Games!

Secret of Shadow Ranch is the best orientation to Her Interactive's products due to it's wide appeal, engaging plot, pleasing graphics and mid-level challenges. The puzzles are not repetitive despite the brain breaks during horse back riding.

The interactive experience is factually informative of the time period and setting in such a passive manner that players don't realize they're learning. It's an asthetically beautiful experience reflective of reality that's both educational and fun and not easily replicated elsewhere.

It's a game that's fun to play again and again. Of the Her Interactive I've played, Secret of Shadow Ranch is in the top 8, which is why I like to use it to introduce new players.

Fun game. I like how its kind of based on the book and the characters are the same. Music is awesome. puzzles a little hard. Chores are fun (vegetable picking and baking the cake and getting the eggs) its exciting when you finally get to the cook out and see the ghost horse. getting to the ghost town was also exciting. Ending was good. definitely one of my favorites. SPOILER: I suspected shorty all along 🙂

Ever since I was 5 years old I have always loved horses! Hidden Staircase is my first favorite ND book but the book version of SHA is my second favorite book! I just got this one from my brother and my sister-in-law and niece and nephew for Christmas and I love it all ready!

One of my firsts and one of my favorites. Setting is eerie and haunting though the game and story itself isn't scary. I loved traveling through the desert and talking to the natives and all the other characters. Wonderful aesthetic.

Loved the plot, characters, and scenery. Riding a horse was cool, too. The puzzles got a bit relentless after a time - this was the first game of the series where I needed online help. Still enjoyed it and would not discourage anyone from playing, unless it's your firs ND game. Definitely not for beginners.

I love this game. Although I played it before but this game is so fun that I don't mind playing it again and again. Nice work Herinteractive!
