About the Game

Crypts, costumes, curses, corpses – welcome to New Orleans! Play in the dark and test the theory of immortality and the legend of the crystal skull, rumored to have caused a suspicious death at an isolated family mansion beside a vast, misty cemetery. Discover costumes in the hidden attic and clues among the crypts and glass eyes. Can an ancient relic protect you as Nancy Drew from the horror of a skeleton man and secrets lurking in the bayou?

Nancy Drew®: Legend of the Crystal Skull is a first-person perspective, point-and-click adventure game. The player is Nancy Drew and has to solve a mystery. Explore rich environments for clues, interrogate suspects, and solve puzzles and mini-games.

Bruno Bolet was the proud owner of the “Whisperer,” a crystal skull rumored to protect its holder from almost any cause of death — except murder. When Bruno passed away, his nephew Henry came to wrap up his affairs, but he couldn't find the skull among the clutter of the creepy Bolet manor. You'll need to team up with Nancy's best friend Bess Marvin to find this mystical artifact before it falls into the wrong hands! Dare to Play

  • Play as Nancy and Bess Marvin

  • Infiltrate a secret society, unlock crypts, and collect glass eyeballs.
