This second title in the Nancy Drew series has the titian-haired sleuth posing as an extra on a soap opera, trying to expose someone who's been threatening the show's star. Kids "become" Nancy and navigate the program in first person viewpoint, exploring, searching for clues and solving puzzles. In our first hour of play, we had to gather clues in an actor's apartment, make our way to the television studio, search it and piece together a torn letter that we found in a jewelry box. As we explored, we collected items for use later on, namely keys, a VCR remote control and a visitor's pass to the sound stage of the soap opera. We also called Ned on the telephone for a little TLC and phoned Nancy's buddy George for a little sleuthing advice. Reviewers and testers all loved the experience. The graphics are great, the game is very playable and the feeling of suspense and danger is definitely there. The game has three levels of difficulty and an embedded help system. We've yet to make it all the way to the end- let us know if you do!
Teaches: logic, strategy, problem solving
Age Range: 11-up
As Nancy Drew, you'll have to expose an ominous threat! TV's hottest soap star, Rick Arlen, is receiving threatening letters, and it's up to Nancy to get to the bottom of them. Great for individual play or for sleuthing with Mom, Sis or friends!
