Secret of the Old Clock

This game was the first I ever played by myself at the age of around 7-8. For about 1 or 2 years I had watched my siblings playing other games. It was a game that wasn't very hard for someone of a younger age, they could pick up how to play and the task lists. Going back now, I would most likely have hardly any trouble with the puzzles.
The settings really gave you the 1900's feeling. Old fashioned typewriters, the low fuel tank (;) and the telegram deliveries. Although in many games you have a slight puzzle that makes you go bonkers, CLK had the problems of fishing, but it was engaging and something that had ways of skipping. It was a keypoint at a stage to move forwards.
Although I haven't played this game for about 5 years, my brother and I still find ourselves saying the Zippy 'chant' and the Telegram man. 🙂

Secret of the old clock

This was very very fun. driving was enjoyable but i would like it if there was more cars on the road like in trail of the twister. it was also fun catching fish. i love the book for secret of the old clock but ive only read the 50s one so im not sure how close this is to the original 30s books. the ending was pretty good i liked the atmosphere and the golf. music is great. characters were likable especially Jim and Emily.

My Experience

I liked the puzzles in this game. I was able to figure them out without having to search online, which I liked. I did not like having to drive to each location. Steering with the keyboard is not the easiest. ***Slight spoiler*** At the end, it was challenging trying to chase the suspect.
I feel that the game ended abruptly. I felt that I still had a few steps left.

First and Favorite

This was the very first game I played at about 6 or 7. It's classic and true to the books and while its much different from the rest of the games, it had me hooked for life. Something about the characters and the setting mixed with the music gives it this lively yet eerie feel. The change of setting and time period hit the nail on the head s far as execution.

My favorite ND game!

This was my first Nancy Drew game. I liked it so much that I became a fan and now own most of the Nancy Drew games. Yet Secret of the Old Clock is my favorite. It is a great game, and I'm so glad that it can still be played on Windows 10 all these years later!

So short!

I loved the setting, the plot, the music, the time, everything! It was quite easy, which was fun for once. But it was over so soon! That was a shame...

Travel Back in Time

Set in the 30's play the story that started it all, Nancy Drew visits the Lilac Inn to see Helen Corning whose mother has recently died, strange things are happening at the Inn, jewelry disappears, the stove explodes and Helen seems to be losing it.

Use a coin phone on the porch, play mini golf, learn about hobo signs, drive Nancy's blue roadster, deliver telegrams, sort pies. This game is so great, I love that it is set in the 30's and has all these old things and references to old things everywhere, it's so much fun. Definitely a great choice to play.

Loved it!

Every part of this was awesome. It was quite an easy ND, which is one of the reasons I liked it so much. It does require a lot of thinking, but in such a way that it's still relaxing. This whole experience was beautiful. You didn't really need to talk to characters a lot, which means you don't spend a lot of time just talking and talking and talking, but just clicking and solving the mystery. You are very well guided throughout the story with a good task list that gives you a nice overview of what you've done and what you've still got to do.

This game is definitely one of my faves, because it's so relaxing and yet brain-cracking.
