From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Her Interactive Inc. is a computer game developer located in Bellevue, Washington, United States. Their games are geared towards young and teenaged girls. The company, who was founded in 1995 and currently employs 25 staff in design, programming, marketing, and administration, is best known for their popular Nancy Drew adventure-mystery game series. Megan Gaiser is President and CEO.
Thirteen titles in the Nancy Drew series have received 35 Best Software awards from Parents' Choice Foundation, iParenting Media, Children's Software Revue, National Parenting Center, and Good Housekeeping.
[edit] Early Years
Her Interactive Inc. worked with Dreamcatcher until their fourth game was released, Treasure in the Royal Tower. Nowadays, Her Interactive works alone, producing Nancy Drew games to feed the growing frenzy of teenage girls who "aren't afraid of a mouse."
Before Nancy Drew, Her Interactive Inc. produced an array of vampire-related games, using technology to put actual people into the game. Most people consider Nancy Drew games to be a fun thing, and not too challenging or scary, but some people, espeically young children, find these games to be scary.
