Not short for me as I expected going in from the reviews! I thoroughly enjoyed this game! Even when I was stuck in the school wandering the halls trying to find places and clues and people! I can't say anything bad about this game having never played the 1st edition! I did like all the clues you had to find and there were many spread out everywhere!!

Not short for me as I expected going in from the reviews! I thoroughly enjoyed this game! Even when I was stuck in the school wandering the halls trying to find places and clues and people! I can't say anything bad about this game having never played the 1st edition! I did like all the clues you had to find and there were many spread out everywhere!!
The Library was a trip and a half, it would be so easy to miss a clue in there and I was certain I had and surprised I hadn't! However I did solve a puzzle to soon and got an egg instead of the "CLUE" Funny addition!! As with "Alibi In Ashes" I had papers everywhere and hated to see the game end! Good for Kids from 10-100!! Very enjoyable game and interesting characters!
Big Plus is how cleverly the 18 clues are hidden throughout the game!
My negatives: Not enough characters and interaction!
To many stretches of silence.
This didn't take away from it but, you could hear where the game had been Spliced during the re-make!
Other than that Yes.. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game should be played first or second in your ND Game Playing life. I enjoyed looking for the coins (I got to find 220). The puzzles weren't difficult and my favorite part was no marble/action games that drive logical people crazy. The game is short, so it will disappoint on a "length" level to more seasoned ND players. But the short games allow you to get done in a few hours.....The ending ...Show more

This game should be played first or second in your ND Game Playing life. I enjoyed looking for the coins (I got to find 220). The puzzles weren't difficult and my favorite part was no marble/action games that drive logical people crazy. The game is short, so it will disappoint on a "length" level to more seasoned ND players. But the short games allow you to get done in a few hours.....The ending is no surprise if you pay attention to the game. I did notice that if I didn't select the correct order of questions when questioning the various suspects, I never got certain information. So pay attention to the order in which you ask the questions of your suspects.

Have fun playing..... Show less

This game is very fun and entertaining. It's a great first game for the Nancy Drew series. For seasoned ND gamers, it'll be way too short, but it's still fun and worth playing. The storyline is good and all the hidden puzzles make it somewhat challenging (finding all 18 steps WITHOUT consulting a walkthrough, for example).

I have been playing Nancy Drew games for awhile and just went back to the first one. I enjoyed this immensely - the puzzles were challenging but able to be figured out. I rarely had to consult a walkthrough and this made the game that much more enjoyable. Thoroughly entertaining. I wish I could play it for the first time again!!!

I recommend this game!

I haven't played the original Secret Can Kill game so I can't compare between the two, but this one is super short so I guess the original one must be, too. The characters are not very interesting, sadly, and none of them are sociable. The culprit is quite predictable. The puzzle is easy, a plus for me who doesn't really enjoy puzzle games.

This is an excellent game for those who are new to Nancy Drew.

A student has been murdered and it's up to Nancy Drew to go undercover and find the killer

Be forewarned that it is a fairly short game, so don't expect hours upon hours of game play. The game play is fairly intuitive and the puzzles are logical. Be prepared to take notes, though.

The graphics are OK, but since this is a re-make of an older game, I wasn't expecting to be amazed. There is really only one big puzzle to solve that has to do with finding all the clues left around the school and putting it all together.

Fun stuff:
-Barnacle Blaster game in the diner- this game appears in Haunted Carousel, but has been improved upon, as you can now use your mouse to move the paddle, instead of using the keyboard.
-Ned Defender Award: One character keeps hitting on Nancy. Back off, dude! This girl's taken.
-Soda Alarm- It always love finding ways to irritate the people in the ND games :)
-Coin collection

Short, sweet, and to the point- this is a great game to start with. Show less

I recommend this game!

Most of it was alright. The storyline comes together at the end and it was pretty good - better than most. The graphics were impressive for this type of game. Where it left me frustrated was with the clues and required actions not being intuitive. Still needs work.

Where it left me frustrated was with the clues and required actions not being intuitive. Still needs work. The worst being a clue on the bulletin board outside the student council room there is NO WAY you could have possible in a million years made the connection of that clue with the soda machine in order to get the egg. There were a few other minor ones, but that was the most galling of them all. Overall, I enjoyed the game and the character animations and facial expressions were spot on. Show less

A high school student has been murdered and Nancy goes undercover to find the culprit! For Nancy Drew's 80th anniversary, they decided to remaster the first game in the series and this is the result. It was one of the shorter ones, but I enjoyed it for the most part. You will do A LOT of talking to people, as any good detective would.
