Reviews

“From start to finish, this is a dandy of a game. Lovers of adventure games who’ve maybe stayed away from this series because they think these games are “for kids” might want to take this opportunity to check out what HerInteractive is doing. This isn’t just an excellent Nancy Drew game, it’s an excellent adventure game, period.”


“I would recommend this to anyone who wants a challenging mystery and isn’t afraid of the unexpected.”
PC GameZone

“It is clear from talking to Emily that she enjoyed this game as much as the others, although in a slightly different way… As she indicated above, its differences were such that she wasn’t able to compare it to the others in terms of how much she liked it – when I asked that question she responded “it wasn’t better or worse, it was different”. She is already looking forward to the next one, so Her Interactive must continue to be pleased with their product.”

About This Game

Nancy Drew®: Secret of Scarlet Hand is a first-person perspective, point-and-click adventure game. The player is Nancy Drew and has to solve a mystery. Explore rich environments for clues, interrogate suspects, and solve puzzles and mini-games.
Between cases, Nancy Drew has taken an internship as Deputy Curator at the Beech Hill Museum in Washington, D.C. Nancy soon discovers she will be doing more than learning about ancient Maya artifacts–there have been a series of thefts and the only clue left behind in a mysterious scarlet handprint! Will Nancy be able to put the pieces of this ancient puzzle together? Or will the mystery remain entombed forever? Dare to Play™
  • Learn about the Mayan civilization and its culture
  • Take on the role of a deputy curator for a prestigious museum.
  • Ride the subway and visit sites around Washington D.C.
  • Choose from Junior or Senior Detective difficulty levels.
