DESCRIPTION

Teenage sleuth Nancy Drew can't avoid a good mystery, even when she's in the middle of a vacation to the Bahamas. When a group of treasure hunters kidnap her friend Bess Marvin and demand the treasures of the sunken "Seven Virtues" fleet as ransom, only Nancy can decipher the clues that lead to the long-lost artifacts. Players alternate between Nancy and her friend George Fayne as the duo explore Dread Isle, sailing on the ocean, diving to underwater shipwrecks, and interacting with the local wildlife in search of clues. There is a riddle book to decrypt, a number of treasure chests to unlock, and a research center full of mini-game-loving monkeys who reward players with prizes. Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships is designed to be challenging to players of all skill levels, and features both a "Jr. Detective" and a "Sr. Detective" mode. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
