    Unmask the Mystery in an International Game of Hide and Chic!

    American fashion designer Minette might be the talk on the world's most glamorous runways, but her investors quietly whisper about the bizarre woman behind her mysterious mask. Is this designer diva coming apart at the seams, or is someone keeping her spring collection unfashionably behind schedule? It's up to you, as Nancy Drew, to travel to Paris for an internship and sew up this case in style!

    (captions)
    Minette fires first and rarely asks questions. She'll dump you like yesterday's fashions if she finds out that you're working undercover.

    Local vendors are always willing to haggle. Painting replicas of famous masterpieces is a great way to earn extra Euros for souvenirs.

    Even the City of Lights has a dark side. Dive into decades-old secrets and swim through ancient underground passages.

    Someone is intent on unraveling Minette's spring line. Your challenge is to find the culprit among the growing list of suspects!

    Use your Metro map to explore Paris and hunt for clues. The Metro connects to cafes, parks and even the catacombs!

    Minette is rocketing to the top of the haute couture world as her fashion designs are being heralded as awe inspiring. She is trying to finish her Spring Collection on time, yet her investors are noticing something is amiss. Minette has ambitious deadlines but has fired most of her staff. She recently started wearing a mask and drinking unusual teas.

Strange threats and unwelcome guests arrive for Minette. Unsettling rumors connecting the Moulin to an unsolved historic mystery distract Nancy from the current task at hand.

Stitch together the clues and unravel the culprit’s design!
