Nancy’s back home in River Heights to compete for the annual Clue Challenge. However, things go wrong when a fire burns down the Town Hall.
What’s worse, Nancy’s the lead suspect! Now Nancy must clear her name with the help of her friends before she goes from the town’s hero to public enemy number one!
Tropes for this entry include:
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Brenda brags her report on Nancy will make national news. It does... when she's arrested on live tv.
- Clear My Name: The premise of the game.
- Continuity Nod: At Nancy's house you can find a stash of Koko Kringle bars, likely as part of her lifetime supply.
- Dartboard of Hate: Inside Brenda's hideout is a dartboard with a picture of Nancy's silhouette attached to it.
- Everyone Has Standards: Deidre may hate Nancy, but she knows better than to commit a crime and frame Nancy for it.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Nancy's reputation has gone down ever since she got arrested for the fire. At one point late in the game someone actually throws a rock through her house window with a note attached saying arsonists will get what's coming to them.
- Laser-Guided Karma: While Toni had nothing to do with the fire, she did turn out to be a piece of work. Once word got out she pushed for Nancy's arrest, her election campaign tanks and she has no choice but to resign from ballot.
- Race Against the Clock: The final puzzle consists of Nancy trying to navigate the underground tunnels to make it out in time before Brenda's smear report goes live.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: The time capsule turns out to have survived the fire, and once it was opened, Alexei was finally proven innocent.
