Real People in Nancy Drew Games: Henry Suzzallo
Tumblr media
If we ignore the uncomfortable question Nancy asks, who is Henry Suzzallo?
Tumblr media
Dr. Henry Suzzallo (1875-1933) was a professor of education at Stanford and Columbia before becoming president of the University of Washington in 1915. During World War I, he served as an advisor to the State Labor Board. He supported and helped enact the eight-hour workday for those in the logging industry. This angered a powerful lumberman that became governor of Washington in 1926, who was able to force Suzzallo out of his position by filling the University Board of Regents with his cronies. Students threatened to strike, but were urged not to by Suzzallo. Suzzallo remained in Seattle and worked with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching until his death in 1933. The main library at the University of Washington, whose first phase of construction was completed in 1926, was named in his honor.
Tumblr media
Suzzallo Library is built in what was called a Collegiate Gothic style, living up to Henry Suzzallo’s belief that universities ought to be “cathedrals of learning.” The 1926 phase was originally intended to be one wing of a triangular-shaped building, but by time the other phases continued after the Depression and World War II, the University’s needs and architecture styles had changed. The most famous feature of Suzzallo Library is its Reading Room, located on the second floor behind the towering stained glass windows.
Tumblr media
Presumably, Her Interactive chose this name for a one-off name drop because some of their employees attended the University of Washington and sat in this library as students. Henry Suzzallo was still alive and active in 1930 (though not in Titusville), the year in which Secret of the Old Clock is meant to take place.
P.s. Happy Labor Day! It is through the efforts of people like Henry Suzzallo that American workers have the labor protections we do!

Dream Game Challenge... Nancy Drew: Dead on Target
Tumblr media
for @nancydrewnetwork​ ‘s Dream Game Challenge!
Plot Synopsis:
Just nicely home from her latest adventure Nancy receives a phone call from the enigmatic Gray Man, the leader of the shadowy Network. The Gray Man informs her that both of the Hardy Boys have been hospitalized due to a car bomb planted in their vehicle. An information leak is suspected at the Network and as such the Gray Man would like Nancy to investigate the incident in Bayport and bring the culprits to justice!
Characters:
Tumblr media
Brian Conrad:  Voted most likely to need a good lawyer, Brian Conrad is a bully that has been hassling the Hardy’s since grade school. Rich and snooty Brian is irked by the Hardy’s because of all the positive attention they get… could he do something to try and ruin their squeaky-clean appearance, after all he was at the First National Bank at the time of the bombing (because Brian Conrad is always there).
Callie Shaw: Born and raised in the farm land just outside of Bayport, Callie Shaw has just recently moved into town with her cousin. An intelligent young woman, Callie works at the First National Bank. Still gaining friends, Callie is fond of the Hardy’s since they are some of the only people in town that ‘speak’ her first language: American Sign Language. Callie doesn’t let her lack of hearing stop her from living life to the fullest and rumour is that she may have a crush on a certain tall, dark, and handsome Hardy!
Oscar Smuff: Oscar Smuff dreams big of being a police detective one day. Unfortunately, he has not yet been able to pass the training; however, he hopes that working as a security guard for the First National Bank will give him the experiences he needs to be successful. He was the first responder to the car bomb and hopes that how he acted will help him when he next applies for the police force.
Tumblr media
Chet Morton: The Hardy Boys best friend, confidant, and often co-conspirator, Chet Morton is one of the few civilian people who knows that the Hardy’s are spies! Chet’s passions in life are his hobbies and his Queen, a bright yellow jalopy that he fixes enthusiastically if not effectively. Despite being a star football player and power lifter, Chet still often gets bullied by Brian Conrad.
Iola Morton: Iola Morton is the younger sister of Chet and Joe Hardy’s long time (and according to Frank long suffering) girlfriend. Currently Iola is working as a barista at the Meet Locker, saving enough money to fulfill her passion and study Chemistry at MIT when she graduates high school. More introverted than her brother, she has recently been taken under the wing of Callie Shaw and the two are becoming fast friends.
Dr. Carrini: Dr. Carrini is flagged by the Network as a possible agent of the terrorist group the Assassins. Suspicion was raised when he was tangentially tied to a series of missing children cases a decade previously, but nothing could be proven. Currently his is working in Our Lady of Mercy Hospital… is it possible he planted the bomb so that he may have the Hardy brothers under his care, or under his knife?
Tumblr media
Ripley Lansing: Another person of interest flagged by the Network, Ripley was found to be blackmailing and threatening contestants on a reality TV show where the Hardys had gone undercover. Money and an influential mother meant that she didn’t serve any jail time; however, her public image was ruined. She knew Frank and Joe as Frank Dooley and Joe Carr, respectively, and now that she is here in Bayport she might be seeking revenge having realized they were the ones who ratted her out to the police.
Fenton Hardy: Fenton Hardy is an ex-NYPD detective and the Hardy Boys father. After his retirement from the NYPD Fenton co-founded the Network (formerly American Teens Against Crime) with the mysterious Gray Man. Currently, Fenton keeps his work for the Network secret by working as a private detective. As is obvious, when it comes to detective work, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!
Laura Hardy: Laura Hardy is Frank and Joe’s mother and the heart of the Hardy family. However, Laura doesn’t just use her heart, with a doctorate in Library Sciences Laura is currently working at the Phillip J. Roscoe Community College as their head research librarian. She doesn’t explicitly know about the Network but with her eye for detail it is unlikely that she doesn’t suspect something about what her sons are up to!
Tumblr media
Frank & Joe Hardy: Nancy’s long time friend and teen detective contemporaries. They are currently under hospital orders due to being injured in a car bombing. Smart and intelligent the brothers are no strangers to injury but this seems like something more. Just like it would be for Nancy, narrowing down the suspect list for this crime is going to be challenging…
Spud: Chet Morton’s pooch Spud is a very good boy, well most of the time… Spud tends to follow his nose which makes him an excellent tracker although he has ended up in the Morton trash can one too many times.
Phone Friends:
Tumblr media
Bess Marvin & George Fayne: Bess is in the process of fixing up her car for the winter. She is getting George’s help although this time it is George who is on the back foot and keeps messing stuff up for Bess.
Ned Nickerson: Since the game takes place at the beginning of December Ned is studying like crazy for his final exams. Being only three hours away from Bayport at Emerson, Ned is constantly debating about putting down the books and visiting his injured friends and Nancy in Bayport.
Vijay Patel: The Network’s tech guy, Vijay is the Q to Frank and Joe’s James Bond. Recruited by the Network when he was 17 he has built a lot of the infrastructure that the Network uses and is upset that a mole may have penetrated his system. An affable young man, Vijay is fond of the Hardys and is willing to do anything within his power to help Nancy find the culprit.
Locations:
First National Bank:
The location of the bombing. One of the oldest remaining buildings in Bayport. It is rumoured that there are tunnels and secret passages throughout the building, the remnants of a meticulously planned 1832 bank robbery.
Phillip J. Roscoe Community College: A school where there can be big fish in a little pond. Most Bayport students make the leap to the larger pond of New York to peruse their post-secondary needs; however, the Phillip J. Roscoe Community College is carving a name out for itself as an excellent research institution.
Our Lady of Mercy Hospital: The hospital where the Hardy’s are currently being housed. It is shiny and clean, smelling of carbolic cleaning agents, like almost every hospital in the world. What is not like most other hospitals is that it was converted from a school into a hospital during WWII since Bayport was one of the first ports when coming back across the Atlantic. Quickly refurbished, there are strange dead end hallways and the possibility of a room long since forgotten being every wall.
The Meet Locker:  A great little coffee shop with a really dumb name, according to the local teenagers. Often just referred to as the Locker, the Meet Locker, is a regular hangout for local teens with its comfy seats, highly caffeinated products, and cheap prices!
The Hardy Forensics Lab: Located in the barn in the Hardy’s backyard, the forensics lab is used equally by the Hardy Boys and Fenton Hardy in their respective cases. Stocked with forensic tools bought second hand from various police stations around the country, the Hardy’s have enough tech to make the Gil Grissoms and Horatio Caines of the world jealous.

Nancy Drew Dream Game
Nancy Drew: Hot On Your Heels
(abbreviated as hot)
for @nancydrewnetwork ‘s Dream Game Challenge!
Synopsis:
When George invites her friends to a drag show competition that’s raising money for charity, Bess and Joe insist Nancy come along. In typical Nancy fashion, something snaps and suddenly everyone is pointing fingers. As Nancy delves into drag rivalries, workplace politics, and the double lives of the performers, things are shaping up to be the opposite of sickening. 
Setting:
Let’s Debut, an LGBT Community Center in Illinois, is hosting a show to help fund the latest initiative by Tech for Teens. With a daytime diner/nighttime bar next door, Let’s Debut is a regular spot for locals to hang out, regardless of sexuality or gender. The center also offers budget-friendly lifestyle classes and provides resources like counseling and tutoring.
Suspects:
Cinnamoney is a local queen with a strong social media presence and makes her living through brand sponsorships and get-ready-with-me videos. But is the online fame enough for Cinnamoney, or does she crave in-person limelight?
Geisha Glitterado is an Asian-American drag queen who designs and sews her own clothing, taking traditional Japanese styles and adding in a drag twist. Despite her incredible creativity and boundless energy, she rarely comes out on top in most competitions. How far would she go to finally be the queen?
Pollie Amory is a classically trained drag queen who is getting up there in age but hasn’t lost her flair for life! With such a long career, Pollie has had to keep her edge fierce, but is she as cutthroat as the rumors say? 
LadyCakes may have her broken ankle propped up as she’s doing her makeup, but she’s never been one to back down from a challenge. A Dallas queen with a stubborn streak the size of Texas, LadyCakes doesn’t seem phased to be injured. Is she just that confident or did she know this was coming?
Phone Contacts:
Recurring
Frank is in finals week and studying like crazy but will almost always pick up the phone when you call. He is there for hints, help and humor.
Game-specific
Tabitha Angel and Reyne Blow are queens who dropped out of the competition, but are they as innocent as they claim to be?
Etc:
George is the technical director for the show, so we don’t really see her much throughout the game except for at pivotal moments.
Bess chills in the cafe next door, both for the food and the cute waiter.
Joe hangs out in the lobby chatting with any performers and crew who pass by. He’s also constantly taking photos to keep Frank in the loop.

WELCOME to the network!
Hi guys! My name is Tessa (normally I’m over on @frankhardys) and I have finally decided to make The Nancy Drew Network! Basically, it is a communication hub for all things Nancy Drew. Here’s what that entails: 
a page with everyone’s blogs so it’s easier to follow one another 
list of Nancy Drew fanfiction categorized and sorted 
reblogged graphics/gifs/screencaps/other creations people make
answer questions about the games (hint hotline!)
also (in the future) fun group playthroughs, daily questions, writing challenges and other things the fandom wants to do together 
This fandom is very near and dear to my heart and now that I have more freetime I wanted to devise a way to give back. It is my hope this becomes a collaborative project that we can all get involved in. If you’d like me to reblog something you’ve made, please tag it with #nancydrewnetwork so I see it!
The blog is up and running but obviously is not at its fullest potential yet since it is only a newborn –– but over the next couple of weeks I hope to add more things and would love your feedback!
If you’d like to be added, please follow the blog and reblog this on your ND blog (or your main if you don’t have a ND blog) with your name and preferred pronouns! I hope to get everyone added by tonight and then add more people as we go :)
Happy sleuthing!
