2020 Mega Marathon - Nancy Drew #10: The Secret of Shadow Ranch 

I like how they had voice actors read the love letters. It added an extra element to the plot. Meryl's journal made me tear up.

Shorty was always the creepiest culprit to me. This was also my first ND game 🤗

Just wanted to thank you for doing this marathon! Helps all of us get through the days so much easier

I used to play these games when I was a wee lass- like 8 or 9 I’m 25 now and These still make me so happy 🌸🥰❣️🤩💛

"When something goes south and fingers start pointing, it's always good to have your side of the story all nice and documented." Live by that motto. Breathe that motto. Exist as the personification of that motto.

herreeeeeessss shorty

Pro tip: if you hate the magnetic maze puzzle, if you pick up the rock 10 times (I think) the boards go away. I discovered this one on accident when I was home sick playing!

Shorty is the CREEPIEST culprit in the ND series hands down.

Hey Michael, I've been watching you since I was 10. My first ND game was Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake. I'm 18 now. Thank you for uploading these videos! They help us get through these tough times 💖

This game holds a special place in my heart. My father got me this game when he went to Arizona for work training for information technology disaster recovery.

This was always my favorite of all the nancy drew games!

Now that I rewatch this, I realize that I love how Tex and Mary are literally the only characters minding their own business in the game.

I have played and loved the Nancy Drew games sense i was a kid i am 28 now and i still play them to this day. I think all of the Nancy Drew games have aged vary wall even the old ones still look good to me. My first Nancy Drew game was message in a haunted mansion back in the 90s when i was 7 years old.

We wear long sleeves so our forearms wont get sunburnt. Also helps if you're bundling up hay and you don't want itchy arms or straw lice crawling up your arm. Sunscreen only lasts a couple hours, then you've gotta reapply it. It's a pain and when you're working you tend to forget. But sunburn isnt the only reason farmers wear long sleeves. There's actually a lot of sense to it. Mud, dirt, even manure (yup!) sticks to your skin and your arm hair and it can hurt like hell at the end of the day when you've gotta scrub your arm to get the muck off. Washing a dirty shirt is a lot easier and less painful haha.

I just realized that cackling laugh in the end of the trailer for the next game is actually LouLou the bird xDDD

Watching the magnet puzzle made me so stressed. I remember the frustration

Red Knott could use some notes from Dave and Sheriff Hernandez about how to react to Nancy getting clobbered from behind...

I made the cake following the recipe in the game when I was in middle school, it was really gross and obviously not meant to be replicated lol

Very first Nancy Drew game I played, discovered a 4 pack of games at a goodwill in good condition.

Nobody: No one at all: Arglefumph: Woohoo!

Love that you are doing this marathon Michael! Thanks!

This game is really making me face my fear of chickens and I knew death by chicken would be real someday lol

I really enjoy watching these Nancy Drew games. The host and games are very entertaining and fun to listen to. Thank you!

I loved this game!!! I remember having to watch your tutorials to complete it years ago

Yesss one of my favorite nancy drew games! Thanks Michael!!

It's the fact that you can actually ripen unripe tomatoes inside that does it for me

I aspire to be as lazy as Shorty with his invisible pot

I love the soundtrack of this game! brings me so much memories of the first time I played

Back watching the quaranstream while my family has to quarantine again 😬 so glad these were posted. Maybe do another? 👀

It's actually adviced to wear long sleve cotton here in Aus to protect from sunburn, sunscreen isn't always effective alone.

Okay but why do the Rawleys get to keep the treasure and then they split it with Dave??? Nancy worked her butt off for that treasure!

Doesn't the treasure belong to Dave because of Aunt Ellie?

what a beautiful horses

First ND game I bought, always a classic!

You can find a hint for the bridle puzzle in the same room. There is the same bridle hanging on a wall. Near containers with an animals food as i remember but im not sure.

He really is awesome!

When the phrase about Shorty comes up when picking the veggies - you know it's incorrect.

I am 36, I played these growing up and now I play with my own kids (preschool/kindergartener they love it).. however now it seems harder to me and I come here to remember what to do to help them lol.

I just love how in the cake task it uses a wet measuring cup for flour and uses a dry measuring cup for milk

I just noticed Aunt Bet sounds a little like Emily from Message In A Haunted Mansion.

Cool !

Obsessed with George’s convenient impulse airport purchase 😂

Wait a minute, we can't even see what's in the basket of veggies. How do we know that Shorty's not lying?

38:31 WHOOOPS!

this was my first nd game, it brings me such good memories. I made an arrowhead hide and seek game for my 13th birthday party based on parts of this game,

Heeeeere’s Shorty!

MIchael goes off about the firewood but doesnt notice that the pile isnt cut which isnt that useful when trying to start a fire

If Nancy tells Shorty tp pick them himself then that would be the end of the game as well.

Had the realization that Mary Yazzie and Tex are the Dwight and Angela of this game and I’m not mad about it.

42:20 WATCH OUT! 42:31 YIKES!

The radio announcer sounds like Frank,does he not?

Mine too I saw this in my school schoolelastic book fair two Nancy drew games so I thought he why not check it out!

The whole Ed getting an infection confused me. To my knowledge, doctors put antibiotics in anti venom...? So Ed should of already have been on antibiotics. Unless this is a much newer practice? Or I’m mistaken? Either way enjoyed the play through!
