The introduction of the iPad for us was key. We listened to feedback from our colleagues, fan base to make this the best product possible. Just as we develop high quality adventure and mystery games for the PC, we took the same exacting standards to develop this app. But in terms of Shadow Ranch, we didn’t want to rush a product to market just to have an app. Our electronic version played on the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch has been characterized as “pioneering work” by many in the industry. I would challenge your definition of gamebook. Why did it take so long to bring these two together? While they may have been popularized in the 1980’s with the Choose Your Own Adventure series, the history of gamebooks is nearly as old as Nancy Drew herself. Our games are inspired by original Nancy Drew books, but the story in Shadow Ranch is original. How much of the text in the game is taken directly from the original book? Like other Her Interactive Nancy Drew releases, Mobile Mysteries: The Secret at Shadow Ranch is based on a previously published Nancy Drew mystery – in this case the 1931 novel of the same name. We have received great press and customer feedback for pioneering a new type of genre – Nancy Drew GameBook. In the meantime, we created a new type of interactive mystery entertainment experience that draws from the foundation of Nancy Drew – books, and draws from interactive puzzles, music, sound effects, word games, visuals, puzzles and game mechanics to immerse the player in the story in a new and unique way. We have learned that a simple port is not an effective strategy when expanding to different platforms.

We absolutely believe that our PC games, with some re-design so we take advantage of the native functionality, would work beautifully on the iPad. Was this a route Her Interactive had ever considered for the Nancy Drew franchise? With the success of iOS gaming, many PC developers have been quick to simply try and port their desktop games to the iPhone and iPad without making any really significant changes. Gamezebo recently spoke with Her Interactive President and CEO Megan Gaiser about making Nancy’s mysteries mobile. Unlike previous Her Interactive titles, Shadow Ranch (not to be confused with their earlier PC game, The Secret of Shadow Ranch) takes the form of an interactive novel with playable game elements.

Nancy Drew Mobile Mysteries: Shadow Ranch launched back in February for Apple’s iPhone and iPad portable devices. Now, 13 years later, Her Interactive is taking Nancy back to her literary roots. Back in 1998, Her Interactive resurrected the girl detective for the start of what would become a highly successful PC gaming franchise.
Few characters in young adult literature have had as lasting an appeal as Nancy Drew.
