okay game
It's not the most interesting Nancy Drew game but it's also not as bad as how some people described it to be. It's a pretty short game. I actually really enjoyed the part where you get to collect shells and make necklaces out of them. It is really relaxing
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!

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.
````It's lots of fun things to do. You get to make necklaces from seashells, collect seashells, and fish. Plus lots of different puzzles to figure out with the help of the Hardy boys. Also you get to go snorkeling and collect seashells. Plenty of fun and excitement!!````
nancy drew games i used to play as a kid, still fun today
Soooo much better than The Final Scene!
This was easy. But a little slow. Good time was dedicated to fishing. :-) It is a good time for music hearing.

I usually get at least 6-7 hours of play time with Nancy Drew games, but I was able to finish this one in 4. Plays really quick, but there are some elements you can use to play longer, like the fishing and shell collecting.
