Title: What Nancy Drew book would make the best game? Round 1: Poll 1

Welcome to round 1. Before UB fans start yelling at me, there are other polls, and I promise you Terror On Tour on it's own will appear, if a good reason why it should be made into a game can be found. Here are short summeries of each book would work. Read these before voteing.

Terror On Tour/ Deadly Intent: The kidnapping of the Gutarist would allow one of the Hardy's to go Undercover, which could mean some Gutar Hero themed fun. There would be some lockpicking and password guessing puzzles.

The Clue in the Crossword Cipher: Being in SA would be cool, and there would be plenty of puzzles. Including the Crossword Cypher.

Crime at the Chat Caf?: A internet searching and password guessing game would be fun.

The Twin Dilemma: Puzzle solving glore, and a exicting way to escape from the criminals.

Target for Terror: A fun crossover game. You'd get to switch between the Hardys and Nancy a lot.

Remember, just because you like a book may not mean it will make a good game.

I forgot one thing. The game idea that wins the poll will be sent to Her Interactive, and maybe they will use the idea.

Not likely.

Who knows? It's just as unlikely they would make a Terror On Tour video game.

So? I never said they were going to make it, I just suggested it as an idea. Not like they're going to use the winning one anyway.

Come on, everyone - it's the thought that counts, right?

"Thank you for taking the time to write to us and share your ideas for our next game.  Unfortunately, we cannot accept unsolicited submissions on game design.  Please rest assured that we have a very dedicated and talented group of people who work at Her Interactive and our games are planned up to 18 months in advance.  We are always working to create better and more exciting Nancy Drew games for the future"

That's the answer I got from Her interactive. The polls will still go on, but it will just be for fun.

At least they responded to my e-mail after they read it, more then I can say for S$S, they seemed to think when I asked about unpublished Casefiles thta I had a broken calender.... ::)

I understand ?unsolicited submissions?. But what?s wrong with doing research and seeing people?s suggestions? ::)

And Dinosaur Dan: I wouldn't mind seeing how $&$ (and whoever else) responds to your e-mails - if you want to share, that is. It's okay either way.

 $&$ responded to my letter by sending a letter about a broken calender, and telling me I should return it to store where I bought it. I was asking about the Hardy Boys, not a calender, and I was not trying to buy anything, yet they thought I was!

Oh, okay. Wow.

At first when you said they told you about a "broken calendar", I thought you meant $&$ thought that you thought that we're still in the '90's or something - thus, your sense of time is off since you're asking about the Casefiles (LOL).

But it's almost worse.
