This app helps young kids to code, read, and do deep reasoning. The objective is to code their robot puppy and find clues in this mystery-based seeking game. Feedback from educators and parents agree that Nancy Drew: Codes & Clues is a useful app. Everything in the technology sphere involves some form of code; therefore, encouraging this skill in kids, especially females, has become increasingly relevant. The app achieves this by piquing kids’s interest through fun and engaging stories.

What Users Dislike About the App

“I HATE this game. You only can do one chapter and then you have to pay four dollars. There’s only one mystery and it’s not worth 4 dollars. I would rate it zero stars, but that’s impossible. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!”

“My 7 year old had completed the entire game in under 2 hours. Not worth the money if they don’t add more levels.”

“Every time I play it kicks me out of the fricking game I hate it so much I and my sister are raging because of this we do not like it. We are sorry if this is not happening to you but I don’t know how to do it.”

“There’s a huge bug in this game. It keeps kicking me out after loading! Please fix this issue so kids won’t find it so hard to play.”

“As an educator, I’m disappointed that the “touted” coding is only included in the final bit of each of the chapters. The rest is a dress-up game/hidden object game. This is not a game I would use in a classroom.”
