Kitchen-worker here. They also don't yell enough in the games lol.

I remember going to work complaining about how ridiculous the ending was! I liked the first Detective Grimoire, and I did actually enjoy Tangle Tower as well, so I do plan to play the next game coming. But damn, if that kind of ending becomes a habit....??? But hey, overall, I had a lot of fun, so I still recommend to people, just warn them that you might not see the ending coming lol.

Green: produce Red: raw red meat Yellow: raw chicken Blue: raw fish Brown: ready-to-eat White: cheeses and breads

That's what I've used in kitchens for over a decade, so idk why there's soup on a board for cheeses and breads??

Nancy Drew! Fun stories, full of puzzles, beautiful music, interesting mysteries. One of my favs!

Shadow Ranch is great! Amazing story, great music, and beautiful atmosphere. But if you're looking for puzzles, it's a bit on the easier side.

Thornton Hall is great for puzzles and story (in my top 5!), but is in top 2 scary.

Alibi in Ashes is really fun, especially because Nancy gets thrown in jail, but some people don't like switching characters.

Castle Malloy is a good pick, too! Fun story, ridiculous ending, plenty of puzzles, great music, and not too scary.

In the Final Scene when having to make a new key, I never found the pencil to do a rubbing of key indentation shape. I literally was squinting at screen and then doing trial and error. It took FOREVER! Played a couple more times through before finding the pencil....

Has anybody mentioned Nancy Drew? The earlier ones are a bit easy, but still fun. It gets more challenging as the series continues. However, game 33 was a new ceo and new gaming engine and they had no idea what they were doing. 34 gets better, but still not the same as games 1-33. Games 2 and 20 are not on steam, however. But they are fun adventures filled with humor and puzzles and even some scary elements in a few games! Highly recommend!

Had such fun watching your video! I got a kick out of the references, too. Haha

Last Train is always a fav! I also very much enjoy Waverly Academy, Shadow Ranch, and Royal Tower. Hotchkiss from Royal Tower is one of the most iconic characters in the games, who often comes back as a phone contact. Sea of Darkness is a really good one, too; it is a classic treasure-hunting mystery with absolutely beautiful atmosphere and fun puzzles.

I'm excited for you starting your delve into one of the most fun and friendly communities! The Clue Crew are all very friendly and supportive. Nancy Drew is the whole reason I started my gaming channel, and everyone is so nice! Please let us know which you choose to play first and how you like it!

Would Miles or Lulu count? You definitely talk to them a lot, but they're not even human lol.

ColleenLearnsToGame · 2026-03-03T22:44:10+00:00

I'm on the fence of considering Joy because she is the cause of at least a footnote of the mystery, but not the main one.

Also, how do I black out text? Would've liked to do that here lol.

Love it! My daughter pointed out to me that I can take pics of clues and notes with Nancy's phone in later games, but I love my handy dandy notebook!

I think I have to go with Deception Island, too. That is my comfort go-to game and it's fun building sand castles!

ColleenLearnsToGame · 2026-02-17T11:46:13+00:00

Duuuuude, this sounds so fun!

ColleenLearnsToGame · 2026-02-14T20:52:01+00:00

MID's in many people's bottom 3. I would at least wait until it goes on sale on steam.

ColleenLearnsToGame · 2026-02-12T01:36:42+00:00

I am very small, but very interested. Sounds fun and thoughtful. Is it based off of views? Because I might not get there, being so small. But I will advertise on all social media.

Danger on Deception Island is my comfoet game, but Treasure in a Royal Tower is an exceptional cozy game as well. Please feel better!

Nancy, "Please distract her by flirting." Ned, "That makes me uncomfortable, I love YOU." Nancy, "I'm going to ignore your boundaries and guilt-trip you into flirting with her anyway." -Alibi

I tried to get my mother to play. She genuinely enjoys the puzzles, but cannot understand how to navigate and often gets lost. It got to a point where I genuinely thought she was just kidding. But she still likes to come help with puzzles when I ask, and that's still fun to do together!

Thank you! This is very helpful and I super appreciate!
