Nancy Drew is one among the ‘American Sweethearts’. Nancy Drew is a fictional amateur detective character in a children’s mystery series founded by Edward Stratemeyer in 1930. Since then Nancy Drew books are still in print. The books are ghostwritten under the pseudonym of Carolyn Keene. In the 1980’s a new series called Nancy Drew Flies was created that featured an older and professional Nancy Drew as a pilot and had romantic plots. In 2004, the Nancy Drew series was replaced by a new series called Girl Detective. Nancy Drew books have been translated into over 45 different languages and there has been 5 films, 2 television shows and a number of popular computer games based on Nancy Drew.

Their hostess, socialite Lori Girard has gathered the best minds in mystery to solve a century-old secret and the haunted train is their best clue. The game can be played at two different levels – the Junior and senior detective.]
