This game came out on Nancy Drew’s 75th anniversary! That’s why it takes place in the 30s and is loosely based on the first few books. At one point earlier in development they thought this would be the last game they made but thankfully that wasn’t so!
In a flashback from one of the other games, child Nancy has a lilac inn dollhouse, so there's a theory that this was Nancy's first mystery. But it was just a story she made up as a little girl
My theory to this mystery is that Nancy's rich father created a Westworld themed park for her, just set in the 1930s! Also, the psychic guy was giving me less Jay Manuel and more John O'Hurley, the host of the National Dog Show! Lol! Love the Let's Play Livestreams Joe 🖤.
omg ok so my theory is smth else (though he would totally do that for her) but somebody mentioned in SPY in Nancy’s childhood bedroom or smth she’s got a dollhouse that says “the lilac inn” and there’s other notes like “no phone” stuff consistent w the 1930s. and in alibi in ashes the reporter Brenda Carlton says “this is the biggest thing to happen since the Josiah Crowley case” so it’s established that it was a thing that really happened but the other games were set in like 2000 so how could that be? I think as a child nancy read about the case and pretended to solve it herself, while she was playing w her dollhouse and using details she read from the news :o
Cars were horrible back in the day. Tires were replaced often. My great grandmother said during the depression a trip to the store meant patching the tires
@@spng157 I was able to catch up with one of my great grandparents too. My great grandma. Born in 1914. I was only in 3rd/4th grade when she passed in 2009, she didn't really talk much before she did though so I didn't really get to know her.
@@fairsuns Wow really? My grandfather was born in 1913, they were one year off. He died in the 80s though so i never knew him. I couldn't even imagine getting to know my grandparents let alone my great grandparents, you're lucky to have known her :)
"Emily didn't say anything about you coming until just this morning." "Sis, mind your 🤡 business. I'm not here to see you." LOLOLOL THIS is why I love HMJ streams/videos. It's only 6 min in and I'm already busting up.
Just wanna say that the golf ball puzzle in this game, as well as the similar one in Captive Curse? Is how I was instantly able to understand Wordle when that trend started. People in Joe's twitch comments there calling it "golf ball wordle"; nah kids, this was the _original_ Wordle 😌
@@RoboticYeti Yeah, I looked it up and apparently that's one of the first versions of it, but the actual puzzle type (that you could do with pen and paper) was and is called "Bulls and Cows": "Bulls and Cows (also known as Cows and Bulls or Pigs and Bulls) is a code-breaking mind or paper and pencil game for two or more players, predating the commercially marketed board game Mastermind and the hit word game Wordle." It's a lot harder with colors than words, because letters can only go in certain patterns and so you're more limited in what you can do. People who started with Wordle have it easier :P
It's funny how there was a Jane in the last game and a Jane in this one, the one right after. You'd think they wouldn't want to repeat names in the series lol.
We’re the same age so Taylor Swift was maybe a thing when you were a junior/senior in high school. And the reason I know this is that Taylor Swift performed at my high school when she was still a country singer and starting to become A Name. Attendance was mandatory. Someone asked her to prom and tried to give Taylor their cell number. We also got free Dairy Queen Dilly bars. The whole day still feels like a fever dream tbh
i only learned about the nancy drew games from your lets plays and it's been a hoot and a hollar experiencing them for the first time with you. the bachel twist? gag of the century. ive since learned there is a die-hard following for the games. understandably so! sometimes people can be opinionated, which is their right but i hope you continue to play how you want regardless of what anyone says. i know it may not be everyone's cup of tea, esp considering how dear many people hold these games to their heart. i personally find your way of playing so entertaining. im guessing this game has a different plot than the book? i had it but i dont remember it at all haha. im guessing they wouldnt want to make the story the same though.
Yeesss you’re playing there first Nancy Drew game I received! My grandma bought it for me for Christmas one year. Of course I was the typical dumb child, so it took me forever to figure out how to drive and how to open the secret barn. 😂😂😂🤣
@@IWillBeHers like how do I pick the character he'll like best? Nicholas Falcone, Brady Armstrong, Simone Mueller... They're all so extra Joe is gonna love it
joe I googled it and mini golf was invented in 1917 and it was SO ubiquitous in the 30s they called it “the madness of of 1930” like it was hella popular LOL. that lady’s accent to me sounded like a Failed Wisconsin accent idk why since to me a transatlantic accent is more like what Elizabeth Taylor sounded like. I think Titusville is in Kentucky and I know irl that’s true and there’s also one in Florida and prob some other states but in the nancy drew world Titusville is the next town over from river heights. Lowkey based on alibi in ashes I assumed they live in California based on nothing other than my own opinion just cuz she seems like the daughter of a rich California lawyer imo 🧠
In the 2000 Girl Detective books I believe they said River Heights was in Illinois. So I guess this could be Indiana? That’s the only nearby state I know as a Canadian 😂
Love your videos! I'd join stream too but I hate that I can't pause it and I might miss something. Plus I wouldn't be able to stop myself from backseating lol
Lmao “I wanna go shopping in the 1930’s, I’m kind of over this mystery thing” 30 seconds into the game. You’re so hilarious 😆
Me, an empath, sensing that Joe loves these types of puzzles based on how many times he says he loves these types of puzzles.
"I don't need a hint. I'm gonna go play golf." That made me cackle out loud.

Boseph Drew and the secret of the old flop 🥰
Getting real tired of Joe predicting the culprit in the first one minute of the gameplay 😂😂😂😂😂
Same! How does he do it?!
@@breeandpurple2 I’m so impressed 😂💀
His INTJ brain

yessss john o’hurley what a hunk
John o'hurley moved next door and did a bunch of opium

Joe is the only reason I know what a bank lamp is
“My god. You would think my chat killed somebody” I’M WHEEZING
Distressed over the lack of recognition for the Clock Destroyers joke
Yay! I’m loving your Nancy Drew videos. I’ve been playing since I was a kid so it’s fun to see someone else experience them for the first time. 😊
Me, an empath, sensing that joe would accidentally throw away his winning golf score card an hour before he actually does it

Wow you knew your great grandmother? What year was she born? I only ever knew one of my grandparents.

Yes!! I also had a boardgame called Mastermind as a kid and it was a similar thing

You always put a extra twist in these Nancy Drew games! I cannot help but CACKLE. Thank you Joe for that, keep being you.

these uploads make my day! I remember playing as kids my smart sister would do all the hard work and I would do the driving lol
I love that 😭🤍
“I was talking to you” walks away 😂 new trend that’s great
I can only think of Sir Topam Hat the conductor from Thomas the Train when I great that psychic flop's name.
Oh, Jospeh this game is going to create some iconic moments. I can sense it
You are the funniest Nancy Drew streamer I have ever watched

im guessing this game has a different plot than the book? i had it but i dont remember it at all haha. im guessing they wouldnt want to make the story the same though.
I'm part of that dedicated following. We call ourselves the Clue Crew 🤓
There’s some similarities to the book! But it actually takes some ideas from the first 4 books and smooshes them together with some new ideas
The laugh that followed after, "Hit H for horn"... lol same
Joe: I know exactly how to do this * immediadely fucks up * 😂😂 jk Joe you did it so fast!!
OMG this is the very first nancy drew book!!! i read it last year for the first time, can’t wait to know what’s going on in an ND game
Okay the mansion that you go to get the trivet from is the fucking Biltmore in North Carolina lmao
It was Dega Vu for me 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeesss you’re playing there first Nancy Drew game I received! My grandma bought it for me for Christmas one year. Of course I was the typical dumb child, so it took me forever to figure out how to drive and how to open the secret barn. 😂😂😂🤣
Moxie is an old type of soda! You can still buy it in a few select places like Rocket Fizz or that soda shop in California.
Nancy-splain 😂😂😂 Can’t wait to watch the vod, wanted to avoid the backseaters 🤪
1:46:00 the wordle recognition needs to be a tik tak for sure!
keen because the author of the nancy drew books is carolyn keene?! 😱🤔
Bro you're gonna need to play The Final Scene next. It has THE BEST drama and characters.
Final Scene has Nancy at her absolute sassiest!
@@IWillBeHers like how do I pick the character he'll like best? Nicholas Falcone, Brady Armstrong, Simone Mueller... They're all so extra Joe is gonna love it
That game has the best dialogue imo!
@@RoboticYeti "being groovy is no excuse for poor grammar!"
@@IWillBeHers My favourite!!😆
Oh no I missed this stream!! 😭 Really hope I can join the next Old Clock one.
12:28 no mother. that’s just the northern lights
Not this cat looking like MY cat 💀💀💀💀💀
Unliked this video just so I can relike it again. You crack me up! 😭😂❤️
Not… I WAS talking to you… 😂

Shoutout to Tesla from Serbia ☺️👋🏼❤️
I can only think of Sir Topam Hat the conductor from Thomas the Train when I hear that psychic flop's name.
Oooh sausage sleuth besties. I love it
OOoOoh this one's good! And by good I mean bad.
The best/worst nancy drews :)
YOU TAKE THAT BACK!! This game is an absolute treasure!!
I’ve always really loved this one. It’s short and pretty easy but that’s okay!
The cat is the ugliest thing in the game, aside from Richards Topham’s arrogance.
🤣
didn’t that horse math end up being a hoax? because the guy was like signaling the answers to the horse?
