Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Step into the stylish shoes of teen supersleuth Nancy Drew to crack the case of the Message in a Haunted Mansion. As Nancy, you'll hang your hat in San Francisco where you've been invited to help a family friend renovate a historic Victorian home. Some strange things have been happening in the old house--could it be spirits from the past? Or just shifty characters on the make? Use your magnifying glass to search the place from top to bottom for clues. You'll find trap doors, personal papers, keys, tools--all sorts of spots and items to explore or hang onto for later use. You never know when you might need a paint scraper or crowbar to help you out of a bind. To fill in some of the gaps, talk to characters in the game and choose your responses to their questions based on what you want to know.

Play Message in a Haunted Mansion in one of two modes: new or younger players can sign in as junior detectives for more simplified play, while old pros can log in as senior detectives for serious sleuthing. Once you're in, you may never want to leave--the graphic detail of the Victorian-mansion setting is stellar. The Chinese-influenced décor is authentically and exquisitely reproduced, and many elements can be highlighted to better focus on the level of detail. Also realistic are often-overlooked touches that add a true-to-life ring, such as photos of family and friends on the wall, and sunglasses kept in the kitchen drawer. The sound effects further add to the sense of realism and heighten the air of suspense. You'll hear doors and cabinets creak open and shut, haunting cries, and loose chandeliers swaying overhead.

This title in the popular Nancy Drew interactive series is successful not just for its design and production, but for its thoughtful features that keep players hooked, even as things start to feel hopeless. When you're in a bind, you can call home for old friends Bess and George to help. And if you make a game-ending decision, simply pick up right where you left off before the terminal mistake by utilising the Second Chance feature. There's even a self-updating journal in Nancy's suitcase that records clues as you find them, to help you keep track of all the facts you unearth. And, of course, you can save your game after each session--no backtracking through clues you've already found, or conversations you've already had.

Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion takes some time to instal but once you're in the game and can see the wealth of what awaits, you'll realise that it's worth a lengthy installation. A nice improvement over previous games is the inclusion of a tutorial to explain gameplay to new users. (Ages 10 and older) --Leah Ball

Manufacturer's Description
An interactive mystery adventure PC game, Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion lets players assume the identity of teenage super-sleuth Nancy Drew as she unravels the mysterious happenings inside a haunted mansion.

Legendary teen detective Nancy Drew is invited by a friend to San Francisco to assist in the renovation of a charming Victorian mansion. But there are other uninvited guests as well – visitors from the past – spirits who want the place all to themselves. Nancy suspects that there is another force at work: greed. According to legend, a fortune in long-lost gold is hidden somewhere on the property and someone is determined to find it. But in a house full of trap doors and secret tunnels, breaking glass and suspicious fires, finding the truth won’t be easy. One misstep and Nancy won’t stand a ghost of a chance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nancy Drew Message in a Haunted Mansion PC, 21 Feb 2007
By J. Watson "idlewanderer" (Doncaster, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This game kept me occupied for hours on end, the great thing about it is that it doesn't give away huge clues, it just drops in little hints. It's so satisfying when you figure something out, and when you discover something new. It really gets your brain working hard! This is definitely worth a try! *****

5.0 out of 5 stars thrilling!, 14 Sep 2003
By Wendy Yates (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
It's nice to see that not all adventure games require the keyboard to move the hero around.It's also refreshing to find a genuine puzzle solving adventure game were you don't have to mame and kill things along the way. Message in a Haunted Mansion is everything an adventure game should be - escape from reality,brain taxing puzzles and an extremely useful second chance option for when things don't go as planned!The whole family thoroughly enjoyed this game and can't wait until the next one we ordered arrives!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nancy Drew: Message In A Haunted Mansion, 9 Jan 2007
By ShadowFox (London, England) - See all my reviews
This game was everything I expected from the fabulous Nancy Drew series, as it was really fun to play and I found it hard to stop playing it!

I liked the fact that there are a few puzzles going on at the same time, so if you try one puzzle and find that you just can't do it you can move on to another one. When you come back to the puzzle you left it never seems as hard! Obviously, in these games, everbody's a suspect and I liked working out who were good and bad and was even happier because I guessed correctly!

Have fun playing it, it's wicked!
