![]() I’m assuming Nancy got this job the way she gets all other jobs that she’s unqualified for, via either nepotism or someone thinking that they need to hire an amateur detective for their archaeology project.Īnd in the first five minutes of our arrival, a sandstorm blows through the camp. Until an 18-year-old amateur detective comes along to solve the mystery in a day, of course.Īlright! Here we are, tagging along on Kingston University’s archaeological dig. For sixty years, the only proof of its existence were the grisly rumors of the team’s demise… A sandstorm buried the tomb, and presumably the expedition, too. Someone on the HER development team didn’t ship Frank/Nancy, I’m guessing.Ī long time ago, in a desert far, far away…īackground: Sixty years ago, a British expedition found a tomb outside Cairo, rumored to be of ~the Lost Queen~, dun dun dun. That book also had bomb threats and camel rides, so actually, it seems like they just borrowed the setting for this game and nothing else. Somewhat hilariously, for such a lackluster game, it is actually based on THE Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys crossover book, Secrets of the Nile, where Nancy and Frank famously pretended to be married, and they had to make out to protect their cover. I almost expected Carmen Sandiego to come bursting out of the shadows. The location is cool, though, and it feels classic in the sense that Ancient Egypt is the setting for every edutainment game ever. ![]() So we’re on Tomb of the Lost Queen! It’s a pleasant enough game - it doesn’t really do anything interesting with the ND formula the way the previous few games did, so it gets a little lost in the shuffle when I think about the newer games.
