Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion 

Oops so sorry I forgot to add the bingo link! It’s in the vid’s description now, and here to be sure: bingobaker.com/#147e32864295838d

Charlie's voice actor is the guy who ended up being Ned's voice in the later games. Since I grew up in the area where these games were made, I used to hear his voice in radio commercials sometimes and it always freaked me out, haha. The mysterious story book in the attic is part reference, part foreshadowing for the way this game ends. Carolyn is the pseudonym the author of the Nancy Drew books used, so a detectivey hero with auburn hair named Carolyn is a cheeky nod to the books. This is the only game where you can actually talk to Hannah, Nancy's housekeeper and mother figure (ish). She's a sweetheart! And using an older phone like this game has makes it easier to see when phone numbers spell things. Bess is 555-HINT and either George or the Hardy Boys have CLUE as their last four digits. There are tons of little details like that in these games!

Fun Fact: Nancy’s voice actress (Lani Minnella) also voiced the Sea Emperor in Subnautica. Not sure if you noticed that when playing through the first Subnautica, since I don’t think you had played a Nancy Drew game yet! 😊 So happy that you’re playing both Subnautica and Nancy right now btw, love watching you play both of these games!

"It's locked" *whips out BINGO card immediately*

I love how you always play whatever games you feel like playing, old or new, and make them fun to watch:)

I legit thought the title was "Massage in a Haunted Mansion." I should probably go back to bed.

Binging through Nancy Drew lets plays while crocheting and/or knitting is honestly so fun and relaxing

Watching you play this has given me such vivid memories of playing this as a kid!! That "I see you" scared me so much as a 9-year-old that I think I quit out of the game immediately, haha. I never thought I would see this game again, thanks for playing it.

7:30 eeexcept... a good part of San Fran was created with debris dumps after the 1906 earthquake. Other parts are built on top of grounded ships that got stuck in tidal marshes because the city is right on the water. There ARE tunnels in a few areas that were made in order to "shanghai" people, literally kidnapping them, taking them to ships, and sailing away, making them work on the ships (usually for free). The tunnels were later used as speakeasies during prohibition, but only a couple are left now. There might be some tunnels in other areas, but not as many as Sacramento or Seattle! Edinburgh also has layers, tunnels and levels.

So, I'm currently studying for the Bar exam for my state and I've been so incredibly stressed about it every single day. I just want to say that whenever I see new Nancy Drew gameplays popping up I immediately want to cry because these playthroughs have instantly been my escape from studying!!! Keep up the awesome content Gab!!!! We love it!!!

Is it just me or even the noises of clicks and stuff in this game is so comforting and nostalgic i love it

I had a value pack of Nancy Drew games as a kid, it came with the first five games. This was one of my favorites solely for the maze game on Louis’s computer. It absolutely blew my mind

Hearing Ned's voice come from Charlie still weirds me out😂

I'm so glad you've been enjoying nosy Nancy's shenanigans enough to keep playing more of these games! :D This one is the first Nancy Drew game I ever played! It was a new release being sold at a store where my brother worked. Six-year-old me had been reading the Nancy Drew books so my family figured I'd probably like a game about her, and thus began an obsession that I still have twenty years later, haha.

The great thing about this game is that most, but not all, of the haunts are revealed to be faked. Some of the unexplained haunts include the basement door slamming, the roses in the parlor turning black, and the head of the bird on the parlor table moving.

You should do “warnings at waverly place” that was like the only Nancy drew game I was brave enough to play as a kid

the cover art for these games used to scare the absolute shit out of me. i remember the first one had a face peeking through the books and i was like nOPE

Yay! I love that you’re playing all these games. This was the first Nancy Drew game I ever played when I was 9 or so. I remember being so spooked by the atmosphere and the small jump scares lol

Everyone STOP what you’re doing- GAB POSTED A NEW NANCY DREW!!! God I love these

I'm tempted to buy all the Nancy Drew games.

This was the very first Nancy Drew I ever played as a kid. I still remember it to this day. Such nostalgia!

Yes!! More Nancy Drew! My weekend is immediately better 🙌🏻 I remember playing this game and thinking the graphics were so normal but goodness gracious how bad it really is 💀

Awesome Nancy Drew LP as always! ^-^ In case you’re wondering, here’s what interface goes with which games: 1-9 has the Message in the Haunted Mansion interface (though later games do provide a primitive tasklist, journal, and even cell phone!) 10-15 has the Curse of Blackmoor Manor interface 16-25 has the Shadow at the Water’s Edge interface 26-32 has the Ghost of Thornton Hall interface And 33, Midnight in Salem is the first with its own interface Also a good rule of thumb when it comes to these games is when in doubt, call Bess and George (or whatever in-game hint system there is, like Loulou the parrot was :P) Wish you the best on your Nancy Drew journey, I’ll definitely always watch! Lol

This game is so nostalgic for me, becuase I had this exact one when I was younger. I remember playing it numerous times. Thank you for playing the Nancy drew games, it brings up so many happy memories for me.

This is the absolute treasure trove of content I did not know I needed!! I played these up until I was around 10, in 2005 so a couple of these… especially treasure in the tower one I remember spending hour and hour and hour roaming those corridors. I absolutely lived for these games! So coming back to it is amazing thank you!

I locked myself out of my house tonight in the middle of winter and had to wait hours for my wife to come home from work with the keys. This kept me company very nicely as my hands slowly froze

I would like to take this time to appreciate Gab for giving us the game play, yet saving us the melodrama. Terminally chill

Hurray, another Nancy Drew video! Looking at old video games really makes me admire the people who designed 3D characters and enviornments back then. I can only imagine how time consuming and tedious it would get with the more primitive 3D software.

Perfect timing with this upload, I was just thinking how much I was in the mood for a Nancy Drew playthrough! I remember this was the first Nancy Drew game I ever got, but when I was given it, I quickly found out I didn't have a computer that could play it! Luckily, my friend started to get into Nancy Drew as well, so I eventually did get to play it through, but while it was the first I owned, it was one of the last games I played. It took me probably the greater majority of a decade to actually get to play it (something like six or seven years). I really hope you can play Secret of the Old Clock and then also The Haunting of Castle Malloy. They're probably my two personal favourites and I can't wait to see you play them.

If youre wondering why they keep mentioning the Great Earthquake, San Fran was basically built on a giant landfill and around the turn of the century most lighting was gas powered instead of electricity. So when the great earthquake happened the gas lines ruptured and there were massive explosions and fires and it burned like half of the city down.

I'm so glad you're having fun with these!!! If you ever get really stuck and chat can't help, I would highly recommend the UHS hint guides! They have all the games (as far as I know) and the hints are organized into categories and steps so you can reveal only as much as you need/want. They also usually tell you how to find the easter egg(s) and explain stuff like the villain's motive in case you didn't quite catch it while playing :) Can't wait to see more!

I was just thinking about you playing Nancy drew again. What great timing

I died at the fire part 🤣 Nancy: Fire! Gab: Oh God! Fire! Back up! Nancy: Fire! Gab: yeah I know! Where's the f-ing back up button?!

I love Nancy Drew, she gets to travel around the world and solve mysteries. I wish that was me because I would love travel around the world like Nancy dose

I see Gab and Nancy Drew, I click as fast as possible while squealing in a way that would embarrass anyone around me. Yessssss!

Next one to do is, "Treasure in the Royal Tower!"

The memories! This was the very first Nancy Drew game I played with my sister. I was 5 when it came out and we were hooked from there. A lot of the old ones I have are on discs I can no longer run on my computer, so it's so lovely to see you revisiting them! And that "I See You..." ooooo so scary for a small child. It really got me, ha

My favorite Nancy sayings; "it's locked" "Weird symbolsss" *Nancy loudly repeating what someone just said as a way to as for more information*

San Francisco sits directly over a fault line, so during the Great Earthquake/ Fire 🔥 The city got shaken to bits and ignited the natural gas in the fault and burned what survived to ash. Cool pictures of fire geysers that burned for days. Not a great time for the citizen, but cool. A lot of documents were lost along with the city center, so San Fran separates it’s history before and after this fire. Thus the phoenix symbols everywhere to celebrate rebirth from the ashes.

For a while I thought it was just the nostalgia talking when I was thinking “I like these old ones better. They just feel higher quality. Old, but a better budget or something” but I figured it out. I like them because they’re more like a traditional point-and-click with the frame around the game and items on the bottom of the screen. I do find navigation less jarring in this though.

I’m so flipping excited! I played this one as a kid and got stuck AND NEVER FINISHED IT!!! Not completing this game has haunted me for YEARS!!!

Yay I'm so psyched to watch this! I love that you're playing all the ND game classics!! ❤❤

Yes! My favorite sass master 40 year old teenager is back again!

At around 19:00 it's hilarious hearing Rose exasperatedly say the house might be worth more burnt to the ground. NO GIRL YOU ARE SITTING ON MILLIONS IN REAL ESTATE JUST HOLD OUT 20 YEARS!!!!

Omg I’m so happy you’re still playing these!!! Hopefully you’ll have a chance to play the second game Stay Tuned for Danger, it’s a bit difficult to get installed and working correctly but it’s totally worth it!

THIS was the first one I ever played, when I was like 7 years old. started my obsession with these games and will always be a favorite.

OH MY GOSH! This was the very first Nancy Drew game ever given to me, it was the beginning of my childhood obsession (and honestly still love) over ND games.

This was the first Nancy Drew game I ever played and I remember loving it so much. This takes me way back.

The emperors new groove reference in here was GOLD. Thanks for your existence, Gab! 🥰

I’m so happy I found your channel !! I grew up with Nancy Drew games, and I feel like not many people know about them. It’s awesome seeing you play these.

I love how Nancy finds stuff in other people's rooms, uses it and doesn't put it back, they'd notice she'd been through all their stuff *She actually did for once! 😂 Love these videos bit can't seem to catch the streams so thank you for uploading ☺️

I absolutely adore watching you play these games, makes me feel so cozy

I had a similar reaction when reading those "handwritten" notes. They were SOFA KING hard to read. Also, I was immediately disoriented when walking out of the bedroom at the very start of the game. I'm glad it wasn't just me! 😂

Yes!!! I love her Nancy Drew vids!

I was obsessed with Nancy Drew as a child, Im gonna love this

so funny that you referenced "mahjong in the windows 98 days" because THIS ND game was the first one I ever played back in the windows 98 era!

yes!! omg i love watching you play nancy drew games! i have weird childhood trauma with these games (ghost dogs of moon lake traumatized me so badly as a kid LOL) so i cant play it myself so i appreciate you playing them 😊

Ah yes, at 35:51 thank goodness years of letters from my grandma growing up has prepared me for moments like these 😂

1:41:55 Nancy this isn't the time to be concerned about closing a cabinet door before you walk away from it

This exact game is the one I used to watch my older cousin play when I was 4 or 5 years old. I searched up if any streamers had played it because I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to rewatch it and came upon your channel. Now I’m making my way through your series because your commentary is so enjoyable. Thank you for helping me relive a small piece of my childhood 🤍

Watching you play all these Nancy Drew games got me to start reading my Nancy Drew books. I have a bunch and never really read them.

This was the first Nancy drew game my grandmother had gotten me for Christmas one year. My sister and I would get snacks and spend hours playing these games! My daughter loves them now too!

This was a blast to watch. The Gab x Nancy Drew combo never gets old!

Love seeing all the love for Nancy Drew games in the comments! I had so much fun with these games as a kid. None of my friends had played them when they were younger, so it's cool to see how many other people played these games! I'm really curious to see how some of my faves, Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, Danger on Deception Island, and The Haunted Carousel hold up. I'm slowly working through my collection of CDs (!!!) and am so excited to play some of the later ones that I never got a chance to play. Thank you for playing these, it's so fun to watch someone else play. (You're much better at the puzzles than I am!)

This brings back memories. I remember playing this one on my GBA. Thanks for playing all the Nancy Drew games Gab

ngl, the mansion's Chinese-inspired interior is very pretty and lavish. but it's definitely a pain for daily upkeep

Im never gonna stop loving these :D comes perfectly for a bad day

That first poem in the beginning was my favorite piece of literature ever when I was little. I had it written in my journal with all my drawings from Egypt♡♡♡ I still love it. ♡♡♡

Omg! This was my very first Nancy Drew Game back when I was a kid, I was instantly hooked. What a blast from the past! Love that you've kept playing this series, Gab :) Have fun!

I love these older games! This reminds me of "The 7th Guest." They are such a fun trip down memory lane with older gaming. Keep playing and keep having fun!

this was the first nancy drew game I played! This brings back so much memories, Thanks Gab for all the good Nancy Drew playthroughs!

This makes me nostalgic, I played a lot of point and click adventures as a kid, thank you for giving me a dose of my youth.

I am loving watching all the ND videos! I'm so glad you decided to play the old games as well. I think this one was the first one I ever played when it came out! This and the original Secrets Can Kill were my first games and caused me to fall in love with the series. I have a special spot in my heart for them even if the quality is lower. I wish you could play Stay Tuned for Danger - game 2 - but I know it isn't available anywhere. It has one of the most nerve wracking endings in my opinion

Omg hearing you say "who's Bess?" Just blew my mind lol I hope you end up playing all the games

OMG! This game was my first game of Nancy Drew’s games! I’m crying 🥹

I love these Nancy Drew games. Really takes me back to my childhood when me and my sister would play them.

*sneezes when gab sneezes* freaking hell XD i hate contagious sneezing (you know like a yawn is contagious for others)

This makes me want to play all of these all over again! So excited to see what you think.

My anxiety has just been off the walls recently so I’ve been enjoying watching your Nancy Drew videos. It has helped so much and has made hard times a little more manageable ❤️ thanks so much for the chill videos

I love the picture on the B&B newspaper. It's the same pic as shown at the start of the full house episodes

If you're running low on Nancy Drew games, you might want to try Titanic: Adventure Out of Time. The navigation and dialogue/animation will remind you of these early games, and if you have multiple save games you can earn a few very different historical outcomes which I don't want to spoil!

I’ve been binging and rewatching these games for a few weeks. Gives me major nostalgia and comfort that I need right now. I’m glad you found these hidden gem games. Thank you so much for sharing ❤

Weirdest confession, but as someone born in the year of the Rat, I somehow feel responsible for the Cat not making it in the zodiac, and that makes me feel guilty for some reason. Like...it's not even real! But...

i cant wait for you to do the ghost dogs of moon lake one. I loved that one so much lol

I LOVE THESE GAMES SO MUCH :) COZY VIBES

Oh honey, a million dollars' insurance is the minimum you should have for ANY house in San Fran!

I wish I watched this while live! Legit, this was the very first game that got me into Nancy Drew, with my sibling back when we were kids! We never got to finish playing it, so it's so cool being able to watch someone play it to the end!

I'm so happy i got to watch this one in your channel! How they bring back so many memories, and the bingo idea is amazing 😆! I've been playing these since ages ago the but haven't got my hands on the first 3 Nancy Drew games back then (including Secrets Can Kill, this one, and Treasure in the Royal Tower). My first ND game was the Final Scene. I got stuck real bad almost near the end of the game. That time i had no clue about walkthroughs or the fact that people post hints on the official website, and internet for an 11 year old kid was really restricted in my house back then. So I left the game unfinished for like 8 months or more and was soo curious to death-until one day my dad brought a printed out walkthrough from Gameboomers that he printed in his office since we had no printers at home yet. I was so dumbfounded that there are people who are so generous in making these walkthroughs and that I found it out 8 months late 😆

I so enjoyed watching you play this! It seems you like scary games best, but I highly recommend "Tomb of the Lost Queen." Ancient Egypt is so cool. Also, "Secret of Shadow Ranch" is fantastic.

So happy you enjoyed the story! It was the first Nancy Drew game I played back in the day so it holds a lot of nostalgia for me 🥰

Please please keep playing Nancy Drew!! It brings back the happiest memories of my childhood. Love your videos and channel!

I've just found all of Gab's Nancy Drfew playtroughs and have been binge watching them.

My favorite childhood games. I'm currently replaying all of them with my boyfriend and I'm so happy a youtuber I watch is actually playing through them! Some of my favorites that you haven't played yet are: Warnings at Waverly Academy, White Wolf of Icicle Creek, The Captive Curse, Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, and Secret of Shadow Ranch

More Nancy Drew! I love that even though the graphics are so old you still play them for us. They do get better in time though. If you think this place is a maze wait until you get to Treasure in the Royal Tower. 🤣

is the bingo supposed to fill them in for you? mine kept getting rid of ones i checked off and putting ones that never happened!

This was the 1st Nancy Drew game I played as a kid. It's my favorite out of all of them. Great job on the video. It brought back a lot of nostalgia and fun. 😊

Update on Famicom Detective Club games.. I just finished the Missing Heir last night after completing the Girl Who Stands Behind and they are AMAZING! So so so fun and well done and just a beautiful looking game. I’m so excited you decided to play them next, I think you’ll really enjoy them :) Also, I love that you plan to go through all the Nancy Drew games! Wolf of Icicle Creek is one of my faves. Anyway, thanks Gab! You da best!

Yes more Nancy!! this gives me hope that Gab is gonna do the whole series :D

I just played this on one of my streams!! It’s such a good game! Definitely my favorite Nancy Drew game! It’s what started it all for me! It aged soooo well too

I find it funny how she always forgets who Bess and George are 😂
