Nancy ends up in Oklahoma on a storm chasing team to figure out who is sabotaging their equipment and why. Seriously, I had to Google the plot just to remember. Consequentially, it’s the one I remember the least about. This game is plain boring - which is probably the most cardinal sin you can commit as a mystery adventure game. So whether you want to relive the nostalgia of playing these games, are a Twitch streamer looking for fun new content to share, or just love our girl Nancy Drew, please read on. And it only makes sense that a master detective such as myself provide a definitive, mostly spoiler-free list ranking them from worst to best. I have played and replayed every installment in the series since then, and completed every mystery (save for one pesky case! Stay tuned to read more on that later). From the moment I clicked that last puzzle piece into place and solved the mystery, I was hooked. Jump scares and ghostly visions lurked around every corner. The plot featured supernatural occurences meant to deter our savvy heroine from uncovering the mystery at hand. That game took me months if not a whole year to finish, due to the sheer terror that gripped me every time I tried to play. The game (the company’s third installment at that point) slipped you into the shoes of America’s favorite spunky teenage sleuth Nancy Drew as you set out to solve - you guessed it - a case set in a haunted mansion.

No more kiddie content, this was the big leagues.
