Product Description
In Nancy Drew: Danger By Design, you'll take Nancy undercover in a prestigious fashion design studio in Paris. The lead designer, Minette, hasn't quite been herself lately. She hides behind a white mask and often throws tantrums, even firing several employees. Mysterious threats arrive at the old windmill studio and other troubles lurk in the underbelly of the City of Light. Can you help Minette release her latest clothing line on time? Or will your sleuthing abroad meet an unfashionable end?

Nancy Drew: Danger by Design continues the popular award-winning interactive PC game series with Nancy Drew flying to Paris to investigate the strange and unexplained behavior of a top fashion designer. Sent by a nervous investor to check on Minette, a leading fashion designer whose recently strange behavior may delay her Spring Collection and potentially derail the fashion house, Nancy Drew must unlock the many inexplicable mysteries that include strange threats and unwelcome guests at Minette's place. But with unsettling rumors that date back to an unsolved, historic mystery, Nancy can easily get distracted from the task at hand. 
This chic studio is the perfect place for designing couture and hiding secrets. View larger. | 
Paris is known for its underground catacombs. Are you brave enough to explore them? View larger. |

The windmill never stops turning and neither does the creaking of its gears. View larger. | As Nancy Drew, you must sort through a wide web of suspects to look for clues. You'll meet Minette, the famous couture designer who is acting strangely and wearing a mask for some unknown reason. She's your boss, so watch out, or else you'll blow your cover! Then there's Jing-Jing (JJ) Ling -- a perfect size 12 with a taste for mint chocolate chip cookies. It was JJ who was tricked into signing an exclusive fitting model contract for Minette, so a little revenge could go a long way to satisfy someone who deserves her just desserts. And don't forget the famous photographer, Dieter von Schwesterkrank. It's true that he once dated Minette, but the romance fizzled. And it's also true that he obsessively sear! ches for his great uncle's lost treasure. Is he trying to get revenge for his broken heart or does he know the secrets of the moulin? Then there's Jean-Michel Traquenard, THE critical voice when it comes to fashion. A writer of nasty reviews for Glam Glam magazine, this author is unpopular and scorned as a "conceited Nichtsnutz" by some. Having the power to shape the fashion industry can corrupt and lead to some reckless behavior! Another suspect is Heather McKay, who endures the nightmare that is Minette to gain a foothold in the fashion industry. After all, the quickest way to the top is to steal trade secrets, dethrone the reigning queen, and appoint yourself as the successor. Whether you're trying to understand what makes all these characters tick, or you're exploring the underground catacombs or abandoned metro stations for clues, you'll need to rely on their powers of observation and deductive reasoning to solve this international mystery. Can you succeed in helping Minette release her latest clothing line on time? Or will your sleuthing abroad meet an unfashionable end? Rated "E" for Everyone, Nancy Drew: Danger by Design is a exciting addition to the growing line of interactive Nancy Drew titles. About Nancy Drew

 Yet Another Great ND Game October 23, 2006
Katie (PA , USA)

I have been playing the Nancy Drew games for a few years now, and have found that with each one the graphics, intrigue & fun just keep getting better & better.
In "Danger by Design" Nancy agrees to go to Paris to help a nervous investor of Minette's House of Fashion. He's nervous because Minette had begun acting very strangely & had fallen way behind on her new Spring collection - both of which could lead to a failed business venture.
Once there, Nancy becomes aware of several threatening letters the designer had received, as well as a number of rumors concerning artwork that had been stolen during World War II that may be hidden in the old Wind Mill that now serves as Minette's House of Fashion. Could they be related some how?
As Nancy Drew, you will find yourself snooping around for clues, working to earn the money needed to buy several needed items, solving various puzzles, and ultimately putting all the information together to solve the mysteries surrounding Minette & the stolen artwork.
Overall, I loved "Danger by Design". It has the best graphics to date for an ND game & it was great fun to play. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed playing other such games, as well as those who enjoyed (or are enjoying) reading the ND series.

World renowned Nancy Drew is working for world renowned Minette, an American fashion designer in Paris. Nancy is undercover as an intern, determining to her father's friend, Amy Grunhild, Minette's financial advisor, whether Amy should pull the financial plug or not.
This Nancy Drew game is FABULOUS - the graphics are, of course, great. The storyline flows naturally. You get to make parfaits and mint-chocolate chip cookies, too! Travel on the Paris metro, to get around and to complete your tasks.
Characters:
Minette - American fashion designer in Paris.
Heather McKay - Minette's assistant, VERY talented at fashion.
Jean Michel Traquenard - editor for GlamGlam magazine, THE voice of the fashion world.
Dieter von Schwesterkrank - Fashion photographer, used to date Minette
Jing-Jing Ling - Australian model, near Minette's perfect size 12 on her cookie diet
On the phone you have: Bess and George, Frank and Joe, Hugo Butterly, and others.
So! What are you waiting for? Don't you want to explore the City of Light's underground catacombs? And the food? And the park? I cross my heart, you HAVE to get this game! It is SOOO WORTH IT!!!
Danger by Design took me exactly 24 hours to beat it - just like it promises!
P.S. Once again, I also recommend the other 13 Nancy Drew mystery games.
Superb, just like the rest! May 13, 2007

As with all Nancy Drew games, this one is refreshing, fun and all-around wholesome entertainment. Each Nancy Drew game offers up something different; it'd be super boring and SO predictable if each one was exactly alike. Great graphics, humorous scenes and stuff to make your brain actually THINK instead of go numb are included in every game. So, DEFinitely go out and buy this game--all the other ones, too!! You'll be so glad you did!
Fun and mind boggling! July 28, 2006

The Nancy Drew series have always been great. Although not one of the best, this game was both challenging and fun. This game only lacked a bit of a story. I was very suprised when the game ended. I was like, "That's it?" It wasn't one of the better ones, but it is definately worth the money.
YAY! January 5, 2007

I absolutely loved this game! So much funner than the other one's I've played. Although, I wished we did more sleuthing and less stuff for famous fashion designer Minette. I guess this is because you're UNDER COVER. the ending is a huge surprise! (don't forget to look at EVERYTHING YOU CAN)
