This was the first Nancy Drew game I ever played, but I never finished it until now. I'm glad I did! The puzzles aren't too difficult but requires some notetaking and a lot of clicking back and forth to find specific things in the museum.

The museum setting is one of the game's greatest strengths, providing a unique backdrop filled with detailed exhibits, research materials, and historical artifacts inspired by ancient Mayan civilization.

The gold standard of edutainment! Decades later after release, this game is just as compelling, well paced, with amazing artwork, memorable characters, and beautiful music. Despite the ending being terrifying, I reply this game a lot and learn so much about Maya on every play. Perfection!
Useless crap, like all these games.
