I have really gotten into these games this summer! My grandchildren(who are 11 and 12 ) and I have been playing them this summer and my gosh! If it weren't for the kids I would never get through these games!

I miss so many clues that they pick up on! These games are so much fun! Have any of you played these? I highly recommend them! So far we have solved about 6 of them and I have 2 more ordered on the way! My grandson asked me if I have short term memory loss because I forget a lot of the important clues/info.

But, when we get absolutely stuck we go to the web where there are walk-throughs

I guess that's cheating but it helps!

It's so cool to get to the end of each game to find out who is guilty!

The girls I used to babysit had a couple of those! They were fun- I would get so absorbed in them that I had the girls call me later on and tell me how it turned out.

Absorbed? For me the word would be addictive!

I can see how that could happen!

I love the Nancy Drew games!

They provide enough challenge without taxing my brain too much. I work with numbers all day long, five days a week. These games are a great, not too hard diversion!

And yes, when I find myself walking around in circles not accomplishing anything, I too go get help via a website. I really don't want to work that hard on these things.

Those were the first two that we played! So much fun!

We just finished "Secret Of The Scarlet Hand " today. I am now working on "The Final Scene". The next one will be"Danger On Deception Island" followed by "The Secret Of Shadow Ranch".
Last week we completed"The Haunted Carousel", "Stay Tuned For Danger", and "Ghost Dogs Of Moon Lake"(my favorite) I get really good deals on them through Ebay.

I've thought about getting them but I haven't yet

Addicted is not even the word! I get the games as soon as they come out and I play it until I have it solved. I love playing them again and again. I'm just waiting for the new one, THE SECRET OF SHADOW RANCH, to hit my local store

OMG I LOVE THESE GAMES! I have all of them! I only beat The Haunted Mansion though

I haven't played them in so long! I'm gonna start playing The Final Scene now that I think about how fun they were.
