Product Description
Join the plucky Nancy Drew for another exciting adventure in The Hidden Staircase. She has quite a reputation around River Heights for being the go-to person when it comes to solving a mystery. So when strange happenings start to occur in her friend's family estate, the eerie Twin Elms, naturally Nancy gets the call. Put on your detective hat and help Nancy get to the bottom of the mystery before the creepy nightly noises and disappearing heirlooms finally drive Nancy's friend's family from their home forever. Things that go bump in the night and a series of mysterious thefts are no match for Nancy's know-how and your incredible deductive powers. Help Nancy interview people and explore the rambling Twin Elms in search of clues. Somewhere in the house lies a mysterious hidden staircase that may be the key to the entire mystery. Will you be able to find it and the stolen heirlooms in time?

 Very SHORT, but fun! December 31, 2008
Overall, the game took me about an hour and a half to finish. It is really fun while it lasts actually, unlike what other reviewers have said. You find 10 missing items outside, 10 items on the first floor, and 10 items on the second floor (NOT 10 items total) while talking to people and interviewing them. It is really short and not worth the money, but you can just re sell it on here for probobly most of what you paid for it.
 Very Dissappointing, try before you buy. December 29, 2008
I am a huge fan of the PC games... I have all of them except the last 2 that have come out. I had made a venture and bought a nintendo ds.. and was delighted to know that there were nancy drew games for it. This was the first game I could find, so I grabbed it. Imagine my dissappointment when I completed it in 20 minutes. I couldn't beleive how simple it is, and there is only 1 puzzle at the very end. The only other thing you do is search for "lost items" that people have given you their lists for.
I wanted to completely give up on the Nancy Drew DS games.. but I've done some research and the other 2 games are more like the pc games. I would try this one before you buy it.

Stick to the Nancy Drew PC Games October 28, 2008

Having played and enjoyed the Nancy Drew games released for the PC, I was happy and excited to try one on the DS.
Unfortunately, this game is nothing like the engaging and clever PC games. The game consists of exactly 3 'puzzles': a simple hunt and click (which requires no skill, just an ability to move the stylus around the screen), a random go up the stairs game (again, no skill required), and a press the bricks game which is again very simple.
The mystery is laughable and none of the characters are developed -- how could they be? The game can be beat in about 30 minutes. There is no plot, no skill required, and very little at all to do. This game is a complete waste of money.

I was disappointed that it was (again) not anything like the Nancy Drew computer games. The graphics are excellent. My two young nephews (6 and 4) who enjoyed the Nancy Drew movie will like the game a lot. They both love I Spy and wanted to play a Nancy Drew video game. This one is easy enough for the 6 year old to navigate and for both of them to find objects. For this reason, I am giving the game a rating of 4. It is one of the first games that I've bought for my DS that we could all play.
