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.
  • Snoop around in the train cars, interrogate suspects, and solve interactive puzzles.
  • Switch characters to play as a highly trained international female spy you meet along the way.
  • Paint pictures, search for hidden clues, and dodge pursuers using the stylus.
  • Travel through a rich European landscape, including stops in Vienna, Paris, Prague, Warsaw, and St. Petersburg.
  • Take risks without starting over – the game will automatically return you to the point before the fatal mistake.

The Hardy Boys: Treasure on the Tracks will be available  for purchase at retailers nationwide, as well as from the Her Interactive website for $19.99.
