    Hotel of Dreams {featuring Hannah Gruen}

    I've always wanted to have a game where Hannah Gruen, the Drew's housekeeper and "second mother" to Nancy, was in it.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    PLOT SYNOPSIS
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Abigail Thatcher has always wanted to own a hotel ever since she was little. She grew up with strong ambitions, a great personality, and loving support from her godmother, Hannah Gruen.

    So when the old Stafford Hotel in Bar Harbor, Maine, goes up for sale, how could she resist? The Stafford Hotel had been there prior to the Revolutionary War and, as rumor would have it, it served as secret headquarters for the American troops fighting the British. Upon visiting the place, Abigail fell in love with the Victorian-style portico, the grand staircase, the old-fashioned skeleton-keys for each hotel room, and the general sense that you had stepped back in time.

    Determined to see it as her own, Abigail buys the place.
    Of course, it needs a few repairs here and there, but it isn't anything that Abigail and her two college buddies, Zoe Patten and Marissa Devon, couldn't handle. After the repairs are done, the rooms are prepared, and the advertisements for the new re-opening, things seem to be going well.

    So well, in fact, that Abigail is confident that dreams do come true.

    It was only after the second guest disappearing in the hotel's maze-like layout that that the dream began turning into a nightmare. Realizing that Abigail would be alone in a big Victorian hotel, Hannah Gruen decides to travel up to Maine to cheer her up.

    Upon setting foot in the place, Hannah's curiosity is piqued at the history of the hotel. Each room has a different "dream-like" theme to it. And each one contains a secret of its own.
    And each guest is in danger.

    The next thing anyone knew was that a third guest has disappeared in Room 16.

    Room 16 was Hannah's.

    Now, concerned for her friend's life, Nancy and her father must book a room in a hotel where nothing is what it seems. At night, the place is nothing short of spooky. Here, paintings stare back at you, creaks and bumps in the night are pretty common, and where you must walk by yourself in a dark and lonely hallway.

    Sweet dreams...

    Sounds kind of like a mix between MHM and SAW (not exactly the same of course).

    But an interesting idea!

      Hello,

      I love your brainstorming - I also want Hannah Gruen to be a main character in a future Nancy Drew game. As loveadobie mentioned, there are similarities between this idea, MHM, and SAW. I am confident that if they made a future game with your idea, they could create it in such a way that it would have fewer similarities to the previously mentioned games. It would have more of a mysterious feel to it if Carson Drew disappeared or if it contained more complex puzzles(not as complex as CUR, but more complex than ASH) and 'second chance' areas would also make this idea flourish. I love your idea! Keep brainstorming,

              Being from Maine, I would love a game to take place there!!! I also agree that Hannah Gruen needs to be brought back. The last time we could speak to her was I believe MHM, and from then on we could only hear her voice in the recording. I definitely think she needs to play a stronger role in the games, being so close to Nancy in the books.

                What I mean by "dream-like theme" would be that the rooms are decorated differently but the decorations make you feel like you're in a dream.
                One room would have the theme of a dream about being able to fly, another room would be the "happily ever after" dream, etc.
