Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion is an adventure game released in 2001 for the Game Boy Advance. Players take on the role of the famous amateur detective Nancy Drew, who must unravel the mystery behind strange occurrences in a supposedly haunted mansion. The main objective is to explore the mansion, gather clues, and solve puzzles to uncover the source of the haunting.
The game's pace is methodical, encouraging careful examination of environments and thoughtful problem-solving rather than fast action. A unique mechanic involves interacting with various objects and characters through a point-and-click interface adapted for the handheld platform, making investigation central to gameplay. Players must piece together evidence and decode messages that help progress the story.
What sets this title apart is its focus on narrative and mystery within a portable format, offering an unusual idea of blending classic detective work with a haunted mansion theme. The game's distinctive charm lies in its atmospheric setting and logical puzzle design, which emphasizes critical thinking and attention to detail.
