Nancy Drew Giveaway

Posted July 15, 2025

I’m giving away a copy of Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion on CD-ROM. This is the third game in the series. This game was originally designed for Windows 95/98. It should work in Windows 10 and will probably work in Windows 11, but it may depend on your setup. Here are the recommended installation steps and here are some patches for specific issues you might encounter. If you have any difficulty, or don’t have a Windows computer, you can also play the game in ScummVM. Regardless of how you play it, you will need a CD-ROM drive of course!
