NANCY DREW: THE HAUNTED CAROUSEL Preview – Welcome to Just Adventure +

Her Interactive has promised us a more in-depth look at this title during this year’s E3, but for now we’ll have to be satisfied with sharing what little information we do have on the newest Nancy Drew adventure – The Haunted Carousel.

The ninth game in the Nancy Drew series transpires in one of my favorite game settings – an amusement park. The Captain’s Cove Amusement Park on the Jersey shore has been witness to some strange occurrences lately. First, the lead horse was stolen from the antique carousel, then the roller coaster lost its power causing a serious accident and now the merry-go-round is mysteriously starting up in the middle of the night.

Who else but Nancy Drew (and you!) is capable of unraveling this mystery? So with the park closed down for an insurance investigation, the super teen sleuth sets to interrogating the park employees:

Harlan Bishop – this recently hired security guard seems to be evasive at times.

Ingrid Corey – the forgetful chief engineer who believes the park is cursed.

Elliot Chen – skilled, but procrastinating art director.

Joy Trent – the office manager who believes the new park owner is behind the strange happenings.

As the search deepens, Nancy will learn about the lonely craftsman who carved the carousel horses and the sad history behind the death of Daryl Trent, the park’s former owner and his attempt to reunite his estranged daughter with her past by hiding puzzles and riddles throughout the park.

As we all know after playing Secret of the Scarlet Hand, Just Adventure is without a doubt Nancy Drew’s favorite webzine and informational source for her adventures so who better to help her solve this latest mystery than the readers of Just Adventure?
