That sounds so fun!! I didn't realize there were computer programs like that. What kind of timing would be involved in finishing one? I'm curious what committment level it would take to play.

The games are advertised as "20 hours" of play (of course you can save the game as you go along and don't have to play all 20 hours straight). It goes faster if you are good at solving puzzles and keep track of things on a notepad.

We did at last get one for Mystery Girl - we picked up a twin pack, "The Haunted Carousel" and "Danger on Deception Island". Yesterday was our first time to sit down with them. Mystery Girl loved it - she caught on to the way the game worked very quickly, and spent a couple of hours at it. It is hard though! I was very impressed, one of the puzzles she had to solve was to fix a circuit panel using the correct resistors in series!

I imagine it will be many hours of fun for us. Thanks Princess Lea for your "expert advice" - they did a great job with Nancy!

I'm so glad that Mystery Girl likes the games (with a name like that, how can she go wrong?) My daughter and I just finished Deception Island yesterday! There is a part when Nancy goes to a beach and finds a hidden box (in the shape of a clam) with some clues in it. She later refers to it as a geocache! But she just took the clues and did not exchange them for a McDonald's Happy Kids toy or anything, so I think she broke the geocaching rules. It would be funny to see if someone on the staff at Her Interactive is a geocacher - they are located up in the Seattle area, so maybe Amanda can convince them to come over to letterboxing instead.
