Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock

Gather up your Courage to Confront the Secret of the Old Clock

It’s 1930 and Nancy Drew is asked to visit Emily Crandall in Titusville, a girl whom Nancy knows only through a mutual friend. She and her mother had been counting on the generosity of their kindly but strange neighbor, Josiah Crowley, to leave them part of his estate to support the inn they own. But in his will, everything was left to Richard Topham, his ESP teacher. A contested will, a suffering girl, suspicious psychics – can Nancy solve the mystery before time runs out?

The beautiful Lilac Inn is owned by Emily, but she’s struggling to keep it from falling to ruin. Nancy and her classic blue roadster arrive just in time to help save Emily and her inn.

A cobwebbed workbench is littered with interesting contraptions – the work of Josiah Crowley. What secrets do his inventions hold?

Drive around Titusville tracking down suspects and searching for clues, but make sure you don't run out of gas!

Who: Meet Titusville’s residents. Who’s responsible for all the weird events happening in the town?

Jim Archer

A good-natured but secretly desperate businessman is trying to make it through the end of the Depression. Although he’s always smiling, the bank he owns is teetering on the brink of failure. Jim has been helpful to Emily and her mom, but he’s desperate for money. How far would he go to save his bank?

Richard Topham

A self-proclaimed expert on ESP and telekinesis, Richard Topham lives near the Lilac Inn, in a house that once belonged to Josiah Crowley. How did he inherit Josiah’s estate and money? Richards runs the “School for the Study and Development of Paranormal Powers,” but is his act just a hoax?

Emily Crandall

Seventeen year-old Emily runs the Lilac Inn with the help of her guardian while quietly mourning the recent loss of her mother. She is plagued by strange occurrences - objects on the wall move, whispers call from the shadows, things mysteriously disappear and then reappear… Is Emily just stressed out or are things really amiss?

Jane Willoughby

Gloria Crandall, Emily's mother, asked Jane to look after her daughter in case anything happened to her. She's doing her best to help Emily, but doesn't know much about raising kids or running an inn. Could Jane have a hidden agenda?

The 12th title in the Nancy Drew Mystery Game series, Secret of the Old Clock, will be released late summer 2005 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Nancy Drew. Don’t dare miss it!
