Hop aboard the Royal Express as the Hardy Boys take a journey to the past on a classic steam train through some of the great capital cities of Europe in the hope of discovering the secret of a lost princess and a priceless treasure hidden from the world for nearly 100 years.

The longest running book series of all-time will make its debut on the NDS this coming spring with The Hardy Boys: Treasure on the Tracks. In the game, players assume the role of Frank and Joe Hardy who have been invited onboard the Royal Express, an extravagant rail line traveling from Paris to St. Petersburg.

“Treasure on the Tracks features an intriguing story line, thought-provoking puzzles and an exciting adventure dynamic that has been the hallmark of our award-winning Nancy Drew games,” said Megan Gaiser, president and CEO of Her Interactive Inc.  “The Hardy Boys are an iconic brand whose popularity has endured across generations and we are excited to introduce a new audience to Frank and Joe Hardy.”

Following the mysterious trail of the Romanov Family treasure, the Hardy Boys venture across a rich European landscape with stops at Vienna, Paris, Prague, and St. Petersburg. While onboard, players will search for hidden clues, explore the train cars, interrogate passengers and solve interactive puzzles as they attempt to discover what happened to the ‘lost’ treasure and unlock the century old secret of the Romanovs.

Features:

• Play as Frank and Joe Hardy on a royal Russian train to solve the mystery.
