Nancy Drew Mystery Literature Goes Mobile With Video Game Techology
Some of the most famous mystery literature for young people of all time is the Nancy Drew series. Back in 1998, Her Interactive used the girl detective for a highly successful PC gaming franchise, and now the company is taking Nancy back to her literary roots.
They have launched the Nancy Drew Mobile Mysteries: Shadow Ranch last month for Apple's iPhone and iPad portable devices. This app is in the form of an interactive novel with playable game elements. This new interactive mystery is quite different from the format of the old PC game. It creates an interactive mystery entertainment experience that draws on the foundation of Nancy Drew, using interactive puzzles, music, sound effects, word games, visuals, puzzles and game mechanics to immerse the player in the story in a new and unique way.
