Meet the characters



Ollie Randal

The resident handyman at Icicle Creek Lodge is tired of the wolf disrupting his day and terrorizing guests. Shooting the wolf and mounting it on the wall will solve all of the resort's problems, or so he claims at least. Could he be using the wolf as a cover for his own personal agenda?
Ollie Randal


Yanni Volkstaia

This egotistical Olympic cross-country skier believes his competitors are spying on him and trying to rattle his nerves. The howling wolf and Nancy, he says, have been sent to distract him from his training! What is so secretive about his technique that he would like to get rid of all the guests at the lodge?
Yanni Volkstaia


Guadalupe Comillo

A birdwatcher who knows very little about birds, but plenty about wolves. This suspect arrived at the lodge just as the trouble with the wolf started, and she hasn't been frightened away yet. Is this suspect trying to scare away the other guests?
Guadalupe Comillo


Bill Kessler

An avid ice-fisherman who would like to spend his days catching record setting Northern Pikes at the lodge. The prowling wolf has put a damper on his trip, and he wants it destroyed. Even if it means destroying Icicle Creek Lodge. Could his obsession and hatred cause him to resort to sabotage?
Bill Kessler


Lou Talbot

Recently graduated from the University of California - Brea, this suspect is a lot more mature and sophisticated than he seems. With his handsome features hidden behind his tousled bangs, he's a world of contradictions and complexities. He's the only one who says the wolf isn't responsible for the sabotage, but there's a lot more to the story that he's not telling.
Lou Talbot

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellent game
My kids are really enjoying the game. Graphics are top notch but they are good. The game play took a few minutes to get accustomed to. It's a game I'd recommend. Not sure about re playability but still lots of fun :D



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Just okay
I bought this game for my 11-year old daughter, but she has only played it one time and said it was just okay and not very interesting.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Makes you think; something for all ages
I got this game for my mom, and it is one of the only Wii games she actually likes. First of all, it's based on books she read as a kid. Second, it's not violence/action based. You explore a lodge in snowy remote Canada, and uncover secrets about all the lodge guests. There are many puzzles you have to solve that vary in difficulty from easy to hard, and it's a great game for our whole family to play and try to solve together. There are a few action-oriented mini-games (cooking, jumping across icebergs, etc) that the kids love, so there's a bit of something for everyone. Highly recommended - it kept everyone engrossed for many hours.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun Family Game! Recommended!
"The White Wolf of Icicle Creek" is a very solid addition to the Nancy Drew game franchise. We are fans of the Nancy Drew games and up to now have played all of the other games on PC. The limited replayabilty of the game likely made it a poor choice for the Wii, but since we play the games with the whole family it was easier for us to to do it our living room rather than our cramped den where the PC is.

The game pretty much follows the format of the most recent Nancy Drew games. This time Nancy has to solve a fairly challenging mystery in a lodge filled with an interesting array of guests/suspects.

What we liked:

* Great plot and story line
* Longer game play than recent Nancy Drew games
* Fantastic graphics, the best so far
* Really good puzzles and challenges

What we didn't like:

* Repetitive tasks, Nancy's cover is as a maid (and cook) so you have to clean rooms EVERY day
* Limited exploration time

This Nancy Drew game is a step up from recent installments and was a lot of fun for us!

Recommended!
