It’s not quite the best Nancy Drew game out there (I think that honor goes to "Curse of Blackmoor Manor"), but Danger by Design is just as fascinating as Minette, and far less frustrating. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Nancy Drew, and many who like adventure games.

A smart and sassy point 'n' click adventure that treats its youthful audience with respect. [Holiday 2006, p.114]

A short but pleasureable romp through France in the shoes of the best girl detective in the world.

A decent adventure game for families and teens, but it’s not as good as other games in the series.

Though it pains me to do it, the best rating I can give this, the 14th entry in the Nancy Drew series, is "average." It's a good-looking game with some enjoyable challenges, but the two stories it tells have nothing to do with each other, effectively denying players one of the basic satisfactions of mystery fiction.
60
Still a solid game, but the venerable series is starting to show its age by recycling many elements.

It looks nice, and the plot is well developed, but they seem to forget games have to be fun to play.

I am a huge fan of the Nancy Drew games. This was an exception. For the first time ever, I actually gave up out of sheer boredom before solving this mystery. The colours are garish, the characters are dull, the storyline uninteresting, and tasks and puzzles are mundane. Fortunately Herinteractive didn't let this affect their other games. The only mystery here is why they lowered the bar so much.
