Thanks Ana. It looks like maybe this one will be lots of exploring and maybe not to many "tasks" to do!

Thanks for the news, Ana. The plot outline seems very close to an earlier Nancy game, Haunting of Castle Malloy.

Thanks so much Ana---I'm really excited about this one!

Just did. Can't believe the cost of shipping and handling---over $11.00 U S to ship to Canada. So it went from being a $ 19.99 game to over $31.00 US.
Doreen That's outrageous, dorish! I live in Fairbanks, AK and we often have the same issue with shipping costs even with items coming from the lower 48. Sometimes, places won't even ship here at all. It's one of the reasons I've been going with game downloads.

Hi, Doreen!
I also could not believe what "Her Interactive" charges to ship games to Canada because Dave at Interact only charged $4.95. Since the Canadian dollar is low at the moment, it will cost more than $31 after the bank charges 2.5% to convert from US to Canadian dollars.
I'm going to wait and see if Amazon.ca has the game and, if not, I guess I'll have to miss out on this one. If I couldn't find a game here in Canada, I'd always order from Dave at Interact. Sadly, that option is no longer available.

Hi, Marian! I am one of those who prefers the box and DVD so I'll have something to throw out whenever I de-clutter 10 years later ! HOWEVER, a box and DVD are not worth an extra $12, which is what it would work out to when you factor in the US exchange rate and 2.5% the bank takes for the conversion. Amazon.ca usually eventually gets all of the Nancy Drew games, so I think I'll wait and order from them. If I add something else to my order to bring the total up to $25, I'll get free shipping.

Susie, you'll have to make sure all items you order from amazon is listed as eligible for the super saver shipping (not everything is), and if you prefer the deluxe/bonus edition of the game, you won't get that on Amazon, unfortunately.

I see they announced that they were giving out the strategy guide downloads now, not the game. Nancy Drew Fans! We have just released the Strategy Guide for Ghost of Thornton Hall in advance of us shipping out the games and making them available for download. Don't download and/or review the Strategy Guide if you don't want to spoil the game for yourself or other players by posting anything here. Thanks! You are the best fans in the world!
