(RPG PDF Spotlight) The Nancy Drew RPG

The Nancy Drew RPG

Core Rulebook by Sixpence Games

Nancy Drew – the world’s favorite girl detective – is now in her own roleplaying game, from the designer of The Hardy Boys RPG! Now you too can uncover mysteries, help your friends, and catch criminals in this cozy solo mystery/puzzle RPG.

Play as Nancy Drew. Explore River Heights and its surroundings in this action-packed game inspired by the classic 1930s novels. Follow the trail of clues, meet her father Carson Drew, her friend Helen Corning, and make new friends, solve their problems, and rescue them from nefarious villains – and collect souvenirs for your mantle after each of your mysteries.

Nancy Drew stories aren’t “whodunnit” stories like the Hardy Boys, where you know what the crime was and need to find out who the perpetrator is – they’re “howdunnit” stories where you start out knowing who the victim is and who the villain is, and need to figure out what exactly the villain did, prove it, catch them, and solve the problems they caused. Make friends, tail suspects, string together clues, get in chase scenes, get kidnapped, and more as you solve these “howdunnit” mysteries using a novel dominoes based puzzle system. String together matching dominoes along three paths to represent following the trail of clues to prove the villain did it, catch them, and make right what they made wrong. 

This includes the complete text of The Bungalow Mystery, the best of the original Nancy Drew novels. 

The Nancy Drew RPG is available through DriveThruRPG in Print and PDF.
