From the Manufacturer
The Hardy Boys have invited you, as Nancy Drew, on a train ride out West hosted by beautiful and prominent socialite, Lori Girard. Lori has gathered the greatest minds in mystery to solve a century-old secret and the haunted train is their best clue.

The luxurious train once belonged to Jake Hurley, who set out long ago to find the mother lode during mining mania. Shortly after the trip began, Jake's wife, Camille met an untimely end. Although her death broke his heart, Jake pressed on in his search for riches. Years later, Jake's train was found in Blue Moon Canyon with the engineer slumped over in the car - dead. Jake had mysteriously vanished...

Climb aboard as Nancy Drew and see if you can uncover the truth at the end of the line!

Jake's luxurious train is filled with priceless antiques and hidden secrets.	Gather around the table and meet the greatest minds in mystery.
Camille had a fascination with heirloom dolls. If only they could tell her story...	A relic from the past, but watch where you point this ancient piece of equipment!

Customer Reviews

AMAZING!!!!!!!
I lo e this game! It was the best game i have ever played next to the secret of shadow ranch! If you dont like spooky games like the curse of blackmoor or the crystall skull this is the game for you! And even if you like spooky games this game is great! It took me 2 days to finish the game. But that was because I was playing it non stop! It is pretty short but when it ends you arent like thats it! It ends at the perfect time it has really good and cool story line and you never feel like you have nothing to do. But I should warn you this game is pretty simple! It not one of those things where you have to look at the stratgy guid all the time. I still think that it was a great game and really worth my time. I think that anyone would like it!

Fun, but a little scary
This is a fun game, but I got creeped out from all the talk of ghosts. It is pretty hard, as you have to figure out a lot of puzzles and open a lot of locked boxes and doors before progressing on to the next part of the game. I was disapointed when I learned that Frank and Joe Hardy will not help me much. They prefer to sit in the dining car and sort through evedence. It is a pretty scary mystery because strange things have happened on the train and everyone thinks that the ghost of the train conductor's wife has done it. That, along with the rumblings that the train makes and all the big empty cars, make for a creepy game. My favorite part is finally catching on to a part that was giving me trouble. Still, if you are one of the chicken-hearted, DON'T GET THIS GAME!

Looks good but...
Looks good but....unfortunately this game arrived from Interactive and was not playable at all. Very disappointed as it was a Christmas present. All the other Nancy Drew games play just fine...so this one must be a dud. Hope they chuck it away after we return it so no one else gets it.

We'll buy another...but NOT from this company.
