As Nancy Drew, you'll have to expose an ominous threat! TV's hottest soap star, Rick Arlen, is receiving threatening letters, and it's up to Nancy to get to the bottom of them. Great for individual play or for sleuthing with Mom, Sis or friends!
Nancy Drew has always been a great heroine, but she seemed kind of, well... stuffy. No more: Nancy gets down to the dirty work of crime solving in the excellent and engaging Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger. As you might imagine, we see a lot of software, but Danger captivated us, holding us long enough to postpone other reviews while we searched for more clues!
In the game, Nancy's job is to investigate death threats coming to Rick Arlen, a hunky TV soap star. The plot is straightforward enough, and here's what the software really does well: ambiance. The first-person perspective puts you in the center of the crime scenes, and the inventive game design lets you pick up objects for investigation and keep notes on things you've found.
Occasionally, you come across another person, and it can often be surprising. In the style of Choose Your Own Adventure books, you're given various questions to ask, and what you choose alters the outcome of what you learn. The people seem a little stiff in conversation (and, to be honest, in the graphics), but in a strange way, it helps increase the creepiness factor — an uptight verbal response makes sense, considering they're being interviewed about a serious crime.
There's a real rush that comes from finding key elements and extracting just the right piece of information from an unwitting witness. Nancy Drew, first created as a female version of the Hardy Boys in 1929, has weathered fashion and tastes well through the work of HerInteractive. For girls too old for "kids' stuff" but who still want a game that's all theirs, Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger can help fulfill a teen or preteen's need for adventure. — Jennifer Buckendorff
In Stay Tuned for Danger, the lead actor on Light of Our Love is receiving frightening threats. It's up to you, as Nancy Drew, to find the perpetrator before it's too late. You'll have to go undercover as an extra on the show to expose the sinister scoundrel!
Enter the game, and you see the world through Nancy Drew's eyes. As you explore the detailed 3-D surroundings, you meet incredibly lifelike characters who all have a secret to hide. It's up to you to crack the case by piecing together information from conversations, mind-twisting puzzles, hidden messages, and other clues you uncover along the way. And if you get stuck, you can always call Nancy's best friends for helpful hints and additional clues.
If you loved Secrets Can Kill, we know you'll love Stay Tuned for Danger, the second in the Nancy Drew interactive mystery series.

- Great Game!
- This was probably one of my favorite games from Herinteractive. The graphics were very realistic, the music was fun, and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire game! The puzzles in the game were pretty challenging, so I wouldn't recommend to a new slueth. Buy this game if you love mysteries; you'll be in for a great time! More reviews
