To quote the game description from HeR Interactive, here’s what the mystery game is about;
For early learners, Nancy Drew: Codes & Clues sparks an interest in coding through a fun and engaging story. The mystery adventure story also builds critical thinking and reading skills as kids read along with story dialogue. Nancy Drew is not a complicated app. Parents or kids DO NOT need to have any prior knowledge of programming. It’s just full of fun education, music and principles of coding.

This game was built by HeR Interactive. It is an original story.
This app was designed for young kids around the age of 5-8 and is meant to interest a new audience and introduce them to the Nancy Drew brand. The game is entirely 2D illustrated and animated with full captions and character voices. The story is linear, but there are mini games of puppy coding levels.
