And the winner of your favorite Nancy Drew game is...

Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake with six votes! The Secret of Shadow Ranch came in second with five votes, Treasure in the Royal Tower and Legend of the Crystal Skull tied with two votes each, and The White Wolf of Icicle Creek came in last with one vote.

Thank you all so much for your input on this six part poll series! I really appreciate your faithfulness and for taking the time each week to vote. I hope you have a great week! :D

The last week of the poll series!

Last week, the voting was down and I'm not sure if it's because school is starting and everyone is busy or if these four games are just not everyone's favorites.

The winner with six votes was Legend of the Crystal Skull. The Haunting of Castle Malloy came in second with four votes and The Phantom of Venice weighed in with three votes. Ransom of the Seven Ships did not receive any votes.

Legend of the Crystal Skull has been added to the list of winners for the final vote this week. The games that are competing against each other as your favorite Nancy Drew game of all are: Treasure in the Royal Tower, Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, The Secret of Shadow Ranch, The White Wolf of Icicle Creek, and Legend of the Crystal Skull.

Let the voting begin and may the best game win! To vote, please scroll down to the bottom of the page. Thanks so much for letting your voice be heard! :D

The last four games in the poll!

Thanks for your votes everyone! It was pretty close between two of the games, but The White Wolf of Icicle Creek edged out Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon to be put into the finals for next week.

Here's how the voting ended: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek had 10 votes, Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon received 7 votes, Danger By Design got 1 vote, and there were no votes for The Creature of Kapu Cave.

This week we are down to our final four games in the series. The winner of this week will go up against all of the previous week's winners next week for the final vote to become your favorite Nancy Drew game!

Another Nancy Drew Sudoku!

To solve the Sudoku, fill in the missing numbers 1-9. Each number will appear only once in each row horizontally, in each column vertically, and in each of the 9 sections. Usually there is only one correct way to solve the puzzle, so if you're off by one number, it may not work. Clues from Nancy Drew games are given to get you going!

Clues (the first number is the row and the second number is the column--use the numbers like you would coordinates):
1-3 the game number for the mystery set at an amusement park
5-4 the number of letters in the name of where the creature in #15 lived
6-4 the game number that is set in New York City
8-7 the number of letters in the name of the manor in game #11
9-1 the number of words in the title of game #9

When you think you have the solution to the puzzle, feel free to post your answer under Comments. I'll post the answers on Saturday. Have fun and have a great week!!

Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon

example: Trout (Sherman Trout from FIN)

Part 3 of the poll series!

I'm so sorry I wasn't able to post a weekly puzzle last week! This flu bug hit me harder than any other bug I've ever dealt with and has been very hard to get over. Although I'm better, I'm still not running at full speed yet. However, I'm very hopeful that I'll be able to post a puzzle tomorrow!

In the meantime, I have the results of last week's poll. Last week was the second part in our "What is your favorite Nancy Drew game" series. The winner was Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake with nine votes! In second place was Secret of the Scarlet Hand with five votes, third place was The Final Scene with three votes, and sadly The Haunted Carousel didn't receive any votes.

This week, we move onto the next four games in the series--Danger on Deception Island, The Secret of Shadow Ranch, Curse of Blackmoor Manor, and Secret of the Old Clock. This week should be quite interesting, because I know that all four of these games are favorites of many persons!

This week I've added something new. If you look in the lower right section of my blog, you'll see the poll results for the previous weeks. I'll continue to update this along the way, so you'll know which games will be in the final vote.
