    Product Description
    Nancy Drew: Secret Of the Old Clock is another challenging mystery that the famous teenage detective has to solve. Nancy has been asked to visit with a girl she hardly knows, to solve a strange problem. Travelling to the town of Titusville, she finds a contested will, a suffering girl & suspicious "psychics". Can Nancy solve the mystery before time runs out?

    Amazon.com Product Description

    This hot, latest installment of the Nancy Drew game series includes the best parts of the first four books and takes place in the same time period – welcome to 1930’s America and the Great Depression. A friend of Nancy’s asks her to visit the town of Titusville, where another friend, Emily Crandall, lives. Emily owns an inn and she's in a jam; she's low on cash and nearly bankrupt. However, she does have one hope of saving the inn: a neighbor died and left his money to her in his will. Or, did he?!

    Who Is Nancy Drew? YOU Are!

    Who Needs Nancy's Help

    Nancy finds herself in the middle of a mystery when Emily and the dead neighbor’s ESP teacher, Richard Topham, both claim the estate. Combine ESP with the strange inventions in the house of the the dead neighbor, Josiah Crowley, and you’ve got a recipe for all kinds of unexplained events happening in Titusville.

    The Scene of the Mystery

    Playing as Nancy, discover Titusville from behind the wheel of your 1930's roadster. Follow your roadmap to locations of interest in the mystery.

    A Mysterious Warning!


    The Possible Suspects

    Titusville is filled with a cast of characters. Here are some who may be responsible for the strange occurences Nancy encounters as she tries to discover who really inherited the money left behind by Josiah Crowley:

    Jim Archer

    Richard Topham

    Emily Crandall

    Jane Willoughby

    Jim is a good-natured, but secretly desperate, businessman trying to make it through the end of the Depression. The bank he owns is teetering on the brink of failure. Jim has been helpful to Emily and her mom, but he’s desperate for money. How far would he go to save his bank?

    Richard is a self-proclaimed expert on ESP and telekinesis and lives in the house that once belonged to Josiah Crowley. How did he inherit Josiah’s estate and money? He runs the “School for the Study and Development of Paranormal Powers,” but is his act just a hoax?

    Emily runs the Lilac Inn with the help of her guardian while she mourns the recent loss of her mother. She is plagued by strange occurrences: objects on the wall move, whispers call from shadows, things mysteriously disappear and then reappear. Is Emily just stressed out or are things really amiss?

    Gloria Crandall, Emily's mother, asked Jane to look after her daughter in case anything happened to her. She's doing her best to help Emily, but she doesn't know much about raising kids or running an inn. Could Jane have a hidden agenda?

    4 out of 5 stars First Nancy Drew game.   September 30, 2008
    Beasley Creations (San Antonio,TX USA)
    Pretty good game. Would have taken a lot longer if not for the hints web site. Never did get par on the golf course.


    3 out of 5 stars Very Short   August 18, 2008
    Ashley Ja'teya Smith (SC)
    I liked the game. I liked working for money but the game was really shorter than the others I have played. This one was quite easier than the others as well.


    4 out of 5 stars captions   June 27, 2008
    critters (VA)
    "Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock" is open captioned, and, I might add, the captions are very nicely done. Even sounds, like phones ringing or explosions, are captioned, much like we expect from TV. I just wish that the mud puddles and the potholes in the road had their sounds captioned since they're important; I suffered several flat tires before I happened to turn the sound up and heard that those "spots on the screen" might have meaning.

    While I readily admit to having had "differences" with Nancy Drew manufacturers, and have been downright furious with them at times, this isn't one of them. LOL. The game works perfectly, even with Vista, and without having to make the computer pretend it has XP.



    4 out of 5 stars Fun but confusing   May 11, 2008
    Kristina Russell (Ohio)
    I really enjoyed playing this game. It really does pass the time. My only problem with the game is that sometimes you don't know what to do next. I guess they want you to try to talk to everyone and look at everything but some steps I completely missed until I went over the game guide. I recommend getting the game guide or using the discussion boards at the publishers website. I'll be buying more of these for sure.


    3 out of 5 stars Really Short   December 21, 2007
    jc3385865
    I'm not sure what they were thinking. I've played five of the Nancy Drew games and this one was significantly and very noticeably short compared to the others. Otherwise, a fun game.
