Last Train to Bluemoon Canyon

Nancy Drew Embroideries

[tabbycatcreates]

Inspired by @detectiveworkisalwaysinstyle Last Train to Bluemoon Canyon Set

Notes: I already had this lace skirt & blazer in the my closet that I went with instead of the more gold tones in the set. I also already the floral necklace which was very similar to the ring in the set. I wanted to include Camille's creepy dolls in someway so I got the bracelet. I am wearing a headband it's just incredibly hard to see through my hair. And I got the actual shoes picture in the set!= Win

nancy drew games rating by cooking/food minigames present in them

secrets can kill: no food minigame in either version. can’t even order a burger. shit game. 0/10

stay tuned for danger: there is mention of pizza and there are bagels physically present. cannot take the bagels. also a shit game. 0/10

message in the haunted mansion: no food. no cooking mini-game. nancy is just eating broken porcelain in the corner of her room. shit game. 0/10

treasure in the royal tower: there is mention of a bag containing fifty frozen chicken wings but we are denied access to the chicken. shit game. 0/10

the final scene: there’s just gross ground pizza in this game and you can’t even steal concessions. shit game. 0/10

secret of the scarlet hand: there are diarrhea inducing cookies that nancy vandalizes art with but no other food. literally a shit game. 0/10

ghost dogs of moon lake: nancy subsists solely on jerky, raw worms, and soda. shit game. 0/10

the haunted carousel: there is food nancy can eat but nothing beyond that. thin fucking ice. 3/10

danger on deception island: cooking minigame which gives you the power to kill someone as well as available food. excellent game. 10/10

the secret of shadow ranch: you can make a cake and interact with vegetables. i will allow it. 5/10

curse of blackmoor manor: available food and a cooking mini-game for birds that, again, gives you the power to kill someone. excellent game. 10/10

secret of the old clock: nancy can carry around a raw fish in her purse but she cannot eat it. there is pie, but it is merely a construct. thin fucking ice. 1/10

last train to bluemoon canyon: great cooking mini-game even if it’s for a limited time. can kill someone in spirit with a cheeseburger. nancy can’t eat herself sick with anything so that kind of sucks. 8/10

danger by design: parfait mini-game, cookie mini-game, tea mini-game and rats free for nancy to devour as she wishes. good game. 8/10

the creature of kapu cave: shaved ice mini game and i guess technically the frass sorting mini game since nancy could eat that if she felt like it. do not get to see a pineapple in person once. good enough game. 4/10

the white wolf of icicle creek: cooking mini game with multi-facets and the ability to harass people with seasoning. nancy is apparently just eating snow but i’ll allow it. excellent game. 10/10

legend of the crystal skull: no cooking mini-game but plenty of food nancy/bess can eat themselves to the point of endangering their lives. acceptable. 5/10

the phantom of venice: both gelatto and poisoned sausage as well as plenty of bird feed for nancy to munch on if she pleases. passable game. 4/10

the haunting of the castle malloy: no available food besides bricks but there is a drink mini-game. also a passable game. 5/10

ransom of the seven ships: i’m pretty sure there’s fruit but nancy can’t eat it. all she can consume is sand and the adrenaline of the hunt. shit game. 0/10

warnings at waverly academy: no food, but a fantastic cooking mini-game. purpose, eavesdropping, and unholy culinary abominations of toasted tomato bagels. excellent game. 10/10

trail of the twister: nancy only eats candy and nothing else. it’s like being six years old again and not trusted with kitchen implements. thin fucking ice. 2/10

shadow at the water’s edge: bento mini-game, but no consumable food for nancy besides the leaves in the garden. she must graze like a deer to survive. acceptable game. 5/10

the captive curse: nancy can eat pretzels until she becomes an over-salted corpse. an efficient and strategic way of surviving during an investigation. no cooking mini-game, but nancy can dunk her head in a bucket of well water so that makes up for it. great game. 8/10

alibi in ashes: no cooking mini-game but there is enough ice cream for nancy and the drew crew to force their bodies into complete digestive shut-down. passable game. 5/10

tomb of the lost queen: no cooking mini-game. no food. nancy only has the sand and locusts. shit game. 0/10

the deadly device: again nancy is forced to subsist on candy and gummy bears. no cooking mini-game despite being there being a kitchen. barely passable game. 4/10

ghost of thornton hall: there is only the tea mini-game and no available food. nancy is eating rocks in the graveyard, but at least she can put seven limes in her tea to prevent scurvy. good enough. 4/10

the silent spy: cookie making mini-game and plenty of food for nancy to shove into her hungry mouth hole. acceptable game. 8/10

the shattered medallion: no food and no cooking mini-games. nancy is seemingly expected to cannibalize her fellow contestants to survive which is a concept i’m into. thin fucking ice. 1/10

labyrinth of lies: no snacks besides thanos. shit game. 0/10

sea of darkness: cooking mini-game that is limited to still images and requires math. no available food for nancy besides the snow and soren’s sweaters. i’ll allow it. 5/10

midnight in salem: there is a cooking mini-game, but the enjoyable parts are limited and unrepeatable. no available food besides the pancakes nancy makes and carries in her pockets. remedy making mini-game is acceptable, but pointless. thin fucking ice. 3/10

[nicknederson]

and as for the hardy boys well this looks fun at least as it is literally just last train to bluemoon canyon minus nancy

from publisher’s page:

Brother detectives Frank and Joe go full-steam ahead to find the truth in the twenty-third book in the thrilling Hardy Boys Adventures series. For Chet’s birthday, the Hardys and some of their friends hop aboard an old train that’s been restored and turned into a murder mystery experience. A cast of actors will perform an immersive theatrical production while passengers dine in style, assume roles in the game, and ultimately try their hand at solving the case. This should be a cakewalk for Joe and Frank! The production is a mess. The actors are lousy, fumbling their lines and spelling out obvious clues. At least the food is pretty good. But just as the Hardy Boys are trying to make the most of a disappointing situation, one of the cast members goes missing. At first, the audience thinks that the show is taking a turn for the better, but it quickly becomes clear that this is not part of the act. For the Hardys, the mystery has gone from good fun to deadly serious. And trapped on a train full of people who aren’t who they say they are, everyone is a suspect. Will Frank and Joe be able to figure out how someone can vanish into thin air on a moving train before this case goes completely off the rails?

Release Date: June 22, 2021

1. Danger on Deception Island

   There is just so much I love about this game. The mystery/plot never really tied together for me, but the setting, music and small town politics really made up for it.

2. The Captive Curse

   This game. I can't even. Everything was amazing; the dialogue, plot, backstory, etc. The only thing I dislike about it is a little unnecessary drama in the beginning, but thankfully it resolves itself pretty quickly.

3. Last Train to Bluemoon Canyon

   Although this game begins like a sitcom or reality TV show, it gets so much better as the game goes on. Great puzzles, a wide variety of characters and Camille's backstory (with what was supplied and inferred) was very tragic. And of course, I was very honored to get to work withtheTino Balducci...

4. Secret of the Scarlet Hand

Henrik van der Hune. Mayans. Sonny Joon. Enough said.

5. Stay Tuned for Danger

  One of those games where being undercover wasn't used as a gimmick. This game. I don't know. It just worksfor me. I especially love (and miss!) all of the false leads planted throughout the game. It really gets you to consider the evidence and eliminate likely possibilities.

[prettyasukas]

I think that Frank Hardy looks like Rick Springfield the way he is animated in Last train to bluemoon canyon.
