My best friend got me into the game. I used to hate Nancy Drew (the books) but this game has redeemed my hatred for Nancy. It's so fun!
Probably one of the best Nancy games. The "trail of crumbs" set up in this mystery is perfect... just difficult enough to make you feel accomplished without being a headache. The atmosphere and knowledge are fantastic. Also super nostalgic being one of the first ND games I played way back when. Even better than I remember.
This was the first Nancy Drew game I ever played, but I never finished it until now. I'm glad I did! The puzzles aren't too difficult but requires some notetaking and a lot of clicking back and forth to find specific things in the museum.
I remember playing this years ago. Glad I got another chance to beat it again.
This game wasn't my favorite by a long shot, but it was an ok addition. As it is an old game, some things feel very dated, but I'm not going to focus on that. The puzzles were fine (take pictures of everything), but I felt using specific phones at specific times without any guidelines was obnoxious. I didn't particularly like the characters or the story; it felt more like a soap opera with a silly ending. There are plot holes galore. The game is super laid back with almost zero suspense; the puzzles were fine, though I didn't like a couple of the solutions...I was looking for a more complicated answer, so simple is your friend. 5/10
This is a fun and surprisingly challenging addition to the Nancy Drew games. In this one Nancy is working as an intern in a museum when one of the prized exhibits gets stolen! This game is a little older, so the graphics are not as elaborate as some of the later editions, and the puzzles do not change from junior to senior detective, but the game plays well. All in all, a fun game that lets you solve an interesting mystery and learn a little bit about the ancient Maya along the way
Love this game, love every game in the franchise.
