Nancy Drew®: The Silent Spy

A disappointing entry in the great series that unfortunately plays like Nancy Drew fan fiction. The music and graphics are great, and the puzzles are fun but the writing is terrible. It's a ridiculous and hard to follow story with very annoying characters that makes the game tedious despite the fun point and click mechanics.

I've been a fan of Nancy Drew my entire life. When I wanted something simple to play for a weekend activity, I looked up people's favorite Nancy Drew games and this popped up as "having the best story". I cannot explain how much I agree - getting to have this story about Nancy's mom, Kate, and her efforts to stop bio-terrorism are definitely complimentary to difficult puzzles and mind games that happen within this game. You discover not only a recently re-activated plot for bio-terrorism in Scotland, but also go through the motions of a girl who grieves her mother's death (with the added stress and fear and grief and love from Nancy's dad, Carson, over the phone). The puzzles are hard, the word games and passwords are tricky, and the story is incredible, with real and meaningful connections with characters and the obvious Nancy Drew shenanigans like zip-lining across a courtyard to get into someone's hotel room.

I love this game!!! Top 5 for sure. Puzzles, meeting new people, meeting Nancy's mom and how she passed away.

the best game everrrrrrrrrrrrr! shayma is a girl

Overall I really enjoyed this nancy drew game. The story is really good and the puzzles are quite fun. I've played it twice so that shows how much I enjoyed it.

The game was dull and difficult. Similar to an old-fashioned spy movie. One of the characters, Zoe Wolfe, was annoying and the others were uninteresting. The only best part was making cookies to earn tips.
