VERY HARD
so good
If you love a good puzzle filled mystery game, you're going to enjoy this one. Such a classic, I really wish they'd make the new Nancy Drew games similar to how these older ones were.
such a great one! alot of fun.
This was the first Nancy Drew game that I correctly guessed the culprit before I finished the game, which is definitely a bad thing. That aside, this is a decent game in the series. The HAM radio, and audio recording puzzle were annoying, but the rest of the puzzles were alright, although I wish the temple didn't have the quizzes. Overall, I recommend the game.
One of my favorite mysteries! Great story, even if theres less puzzles than normal
The story is interesting and the puzzles are cute. Remember, these games are based off books for teenagers. It's an old game, but works perfectly with dgvoodoo.
I liked this game! Love the museum vibe and the very lived-in world and characters. Some of the puzzles were a little tricky (the quizzes in the rooms) and remembering to use the time of day to trigger events was a little tricky, but overall the premise, story, and Mayan archaeology kept me hooked.
Plot doesn't make a great deal of sense at the end, and it's much to easy to miss important things.
Case solved. One of my favorite games of Nancy Drew serie. Had a really good music & interesting quests. And not so easiest game of serie. I love this story, and some of second chances, like a final second chance - is the best.
