Her bedside table is piled high with kid detective books: Nate the Great and Cam Jansen for when she’s reading to herself, and Enid Blyton’s Famous Five series, which we’re making through together.

She carries a notepad around wherever we go, jotting down times and notes and possible clues, drawing elaborate maps, squinting her eyes and looking off into the distance as she tries to connect the dots to figure out where the missing piece of chalk went (her one-year-old brother ate it) or why she keeps waking up so early (a mystery I’d pay someone gobs of money to solve). Her commitment to her future calling is total. Are the ghosts real? Has Salem’s dark history come to life, or is there someone else to blame? Time is short, and you, as Nancy Drew, must find the answers before the clock strikes midnight in this all-new 3D mystery adventure.Becoming a detective is one of the least likely lines of eventual employment for my six-year-old, second only to “trampoliner” (runner-up most desirable profession) and yet much of her free time this summer has been spent immersed in mystery literature and mystery pretend.

She discovers connections to the house’s past with the Salem Witch Trials and finds herself drawn into a struggle with supernatural events that she simply can’t explain. Joined by the Hardy Boys, Nancy races to uncover the truth behind the arson. Nancy Drew unexpectedly finds herself in Salem, Massachusetts, investigating an arson at the haunted Hathorne House. You will face frightful hauntings, explore unnerving old cemeteries, face challenging escapes, and delve into the relationships among the descendants of the historic Salem Witch Trials whose lives become embroiled in the crimes. Interrogate suspects, sleuth for clues, and tackle new 3D puzzles all to solve the mystery. Investigate a series of crimes including who is responsible for the arson at a historic estate in Salem. Assuming the role of Nancy Drew, you will step into a story filled with danger, intrigue, and complicated relationships as you gather clues to solve the mystery. Midnight in Salem is the new 3D mystery adventure game with detective Nancy Drew.
