Editorial Review:
Play the part of Nancy Drew on a not-so-merry ride with danger! You must explore every inch of the Captain's Cove Amusement Park o investigate a series of frightening accidents. Examine the inner workings of the antique carousel as you search for who, or what, is behind its mysterious midnight rides.
A curse has closed Captain's Cove Amusement Park! Someone has stolen one of the carved wooden horses from the park carousel, despite old tales that say bad luck will befall the park if the horses are ever separated. At first Nancy Drew believes the disappearance is tied to an unsolved jewel theft... but is the carousel hiding another secret, too?
Like all of the Nancy Drew mysteries from Her Interactive, Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel is a first-person role playing game that lets players explore its richly imagined amusement park setting while solving the spate of mysterious incidents that have shut down the park. Featuring well-drawn characters, some tough but satisfying puzzles, arcade games, and plenty of thrills, this game is sure to satisfy.
Though the game design and artwork have the winsome flavor of the original Nancy Drew novel series, the tools the teen sleuth has to work with are utterly modern. A cell phone keeps players in touch with faithful friends like George, Bess and even the Hardy Boys. Nancy's laptop lets you pick up helpful e-mails that assist in analyzing clues.
The game informs as it entertains. As players unravel the mystery they also learn a few basics about electrical repair, carousel design history, the uses of a lathe, and decoding old stenographic documents. In this way, The Haunted Carousel seamlessly and safely allows girls to truly inhabit the role of Nancy--to be resourceful, clever, persistent and, of course, more than a little snoopy. Player confidence is only enhanced by the game's structure, which poses some tough challenges but also makes sure you have the tools to solve them, and provides lots of encouragement along the way.
Captain's Cove is not without its dangers, however. Carelessness could plunge Nancy into a dangerous accident, which leads to getting her banned from the amusement park property. Fortunately, the game is very forgiving, allowing you to choose a "Second Chance" option that lets you revisit--and revise--any critical mistakes.
Beautifully designed, true to its subject matter, and with a genuinely interesting mystery at its heart, Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel is a game that will have girls hungering for more.--Alyx Dellamonica

Rating:  - Nancy Drew Ghost Dogs Moon Lake
A good standard in the Nancy Drew pc mystery games. Not quite as exciting as some of the others, ie: Haunted Mansion, Secret of the Crystal Skull but still a blast to play along side your sleuthing 10y/o daughter.Not as complicated as Scarlet Hand but harder then say Creature of Kapu Cave. We love them and are down to our last two to purchase.
Rating:  - If I had it my way.. 0 stars.. "WTF"
wtf.. I purchased this game hoping that it would be as fun Legend of the Crystal Skull... After playing that game I decided to play this one.. Only problem was I could not install the game. There are 2 computers and 3 laptops in my household.. I tried on EVERY SINGLE PC SO its not the computers I know its the game. I just wish I wouldn't have wasted my money on this. This review is for Danger on Deception Island.. I don't know why it says other games on other reviews. Anyway PLEASE don't waste your ... Read More
Rating:  - Danger on Deception Island
In the beginning, it started kind of slow but as the story went along, it got more and more interesting. I thought the ending was really terrific
I look forward to her new video
