Just finished! I saw some reviews saying this game was too easy, and I kinda agree with them, although I'm not mad about it! This has become one of the very few ND games I could've solved without looking at any hints online. The story ended rather suddenly, and all the characters are not quite charming or likable in my opinion. But all in all, I enjoyed this one very much!
This was a really fun one! I did find it very easy compared to other Nancy Drew games and feel like I won it very quickly. Overall, very fun game and worth the purchase!

this nancy is a vacation in a video game, quite a simple one in my opinion with some gnarly tasks. finished in about 5 hours but could be done sooner if you're smart/a nancy enjoyer. do NOT get stuck as frank collecting shells, hold some cash and don't waste it giving mike his snow cones. buy bait!!!!

I think out of all of the games in this series, this is one that I'm the most on the fence about. I like the mystery to solve, but a lot of the game is spent pushing through things like making necklaces, going fishing, and trying to figure out what areas are navigable and which are not. Some screens were kind of annoying in terms of navigation - you can't see in one direction and keep wondering if there's something you're missing. I didn't mind the clipboard work, it at least allowed me to get my puzzle on. Overall I'm going to say yes to recommending it, even though it may be more out of nostalgia than actual value that the game provides. 5/10.
Boring gameplay. Unlikable side characters. Dull and tedious minigames. Flat and uninspiring ending. All and all, this game was a waste of time and money and may be one of, if not THE most uninteresting games I have unenthusiastically played in quite some time. As someone who has played SEVERAL Nancy Drew games, this one SUCKS! I forced myself to finish in hopes it would get better as well as continue my attempt to play every Nancy Drew game for the sake of nostalgia... I should never have wasted my time on this horrid game!
The Big Island Bucks economy is flawed and Big Island Mike knows it! Some puzzles were too annoying as busy work and there wasn’t as many things that could be easy to miss which made the game way more straightforward than I would want from a Nancy game. I did appreciate that every character was more insane than the usual(but Quigley is super annoying).
okay game
one of my least favorite games in the ND collection. such short gameplay, with the frass collecting puzzle taking up the majority of the runtime. story is pretty convoluted and abruptly ends. the hardy bros hardly make an impact in the game, but i guess it's cool to see them and get a little switch-up in the usual nancy drew formula. would only recommend for the vibes, not for a good mystery or challenging puzzles.
