One of my favorite games in the ND series. Especially if you love history!
Beautiful music, fantastic atmosphere, and a compelling mystery story. I love the pretty pre-rendered visuals.
Boring af but its the only ND game I haven't finished...

I played this game when I was a kid but I never beat it. It hit me with the best sort of nostalgia (and an even greater appreciation for modern graphics lol) and I beat it this time! Such a fun little mystery.
Not the best due to all the learning components imo - especially stupid trivia. This one definitely requires patience and note taking. I did enjoy the other puzzles and being able to travel for changes of scenery, and the second chance from the monolith is hilarious!
This is one of the only Nancy Drew games that I didn't remember from playing as a child. I was pleasantly surprised by the story line though and enjoyed most of the puzzles. Some were a little hard I think for a child, a lot of back and forth and remembering things, but it was okay. I also think this is the first one where the characters are a little more flushed out than previous games. ALSO loved getting our first Sonny Joon and Prudance Rutherford mention AND getting to talkto the Hardy boy's for the first time
Classic point and click mystery game, Nancy Drew mysterys are good the puzzle are nice enough to keep you playing but not so hard that you end up not knowing whats happening.
