Cool, fun, challenging!
The coolest storyline and graphics amongst the ND games, in my opinion, BUT the puzzles can be quite challenging. Took me a long time to finish the game. I had to use the ND website for many clues, but I am not the savviest game player anyway. Definitely worth the time and money.

Very challenging, but fun!
This is one of the hardest games I've played so far from the Nancy Drew series! It is much more difficult than her earlier one's. I find all of the puzzles to be challenging in this game. It's great! This is definetly a game worth buying! You really get your money's worth. If you want a really challenging mystery game this one fits the bill. Its hours and hours of puzzles and mystery! Great game!

Gather Your Courage to Confront the Myths of Blackmoor Manor!
For nearly a millennium the Penvellyns have called Blackmoor Manor home, but few of these eclectic inhabitants found happy endings. Townsfolk whisper taled of beasts, warriors, witches, explorers and astronomers, but no one can explain why newlywed Linda Penvellyn hides from all. Is it a curse or a conspiracy? It's up to Nancy Drew to solve a mystery hundreds of years in the making! The ornate artwork throughout Blackmoor Manor deserves more than a passing glance. Take heed; you might find something looking back at you! Linda Penvellyn remains as shrouded as the furniture in her bedroom. Why is she so afraid to show her face? Old Mrs. Drake spends most her time feeding the conservatory's carnivorous plants. Careful; get too close and you might be a hungry plant;s next meal! Manor inhabitants hold improtant keys to hidden spaces. It's up to you to unlock the truths secreted inside. Penvellyns of old used these tools to mix earth, air, water and fire. Is a descendant brewing up toxic trouble among the alchemy antiques?:)

NANCY DREW ROCKS!!
This one is the best next to Tresuare in a Royal tower! I love it how this one is really scary, and all the secrets the people at the manor hide. Ok, the story is, is that a woman who just got married, won't come out of her room, won't talk to anyone and is acting strange. So the owner of the manor calls Nancy Drew, and then the adventure begins! Recommended for all ages... If you dare!

Deliciously Thrilling, Demanding Brainwork!
If you haven't tried any of the Nancy Drew computer games, you should at least try one. All of them demand brainwork and puzzle-solving skills. Extremely addicting, I just can't seem to get enough of these games. From the early ones, to the latest game. Anyways, Curse of Blackmoor Manor might not be a good place to start, because I think it was by far the hardest of them all. There are many puzzles, and although you can get hints from a few people, well... you might find that the hints are a puzzle within itself. The thing is, I love getting my brain worked up. In the game, you are Detective Nancy Drew, trying to find out what is wrong with a seemingly normal person (Linda) but wait. Many people stand in your way! Jane, a young girl is always asking you to play games. Is she just a playful young girl, or is she preventing your sleuthing? Nigel seems awfully shady, what with typing a "best-seller in the making" all day. Is he looking for the famed "Penvellyn treasure"? Mrs. Drake is a botanist, who might have gone finally batty after all the years. Speaking to plants, and ignoring all else, is she plotting something, or is she just a dedicated botanist? Ethel, Jane's young tutor has some ideas that will cross paths with you. Is she planning to go on with the Penvellyn tradition, and cross your path? Or will she let you slip by unnoticed? Is there truly a beast of Blackmoor, out to get you? Or is it just a legend? This game is pleasantly thrilling, and gives you ideas for solving puzzles overnight, making you jump up out of bed and make you long for switching on your computer at midnight.
