When you think of Hawaii, no doubt you think of hot beaches, luaus, and grass skirts. No matter how long you're given, you'd probably never come up with bug research, kidnapping, and human sacrifice. That, of course, is because you're not Nancy Drew! Send Nancy to the islands, and that's exactly the sort of experience she's likely to encounter (which is a good thing, because a game about lounging around sipping fruity drinks probably wouldn't be that interesting.) Luckily for us, that's where she's headed in her 15th PC adventure, The Creature of Kapu Cave.

In Kapu Cave, Nancy is heading to Hawaii to assist entomologist Dr. Quigley Kim, but arrives to find a mysterious "monster" destroying the camp, with no sign of the scientist. The locals are blaming the island's recent misfortunes on Kane 'Okala, the legendary "rough-skinned man" who once survived a ritual sacrifice to the volcano. Alive but horribly scarred, he returned to spread pestilence and destruction much like the island is experiencing once again. It's up to everyone's favourite teen sleuth to determine if Kane 'Okala has returned for more vengeance. And if your favourite teen sleuth just happens to be one of the Hardy Boys, all the better, as Frank and Joe join Nancy as playable characters in the game, and you'll need all three to uncover the mystery of the forbidden (or "Kapu") cave.

If a new Nancy Drew mystery isn't good news enough, then better still is the chance to win one of three retail copies of The Creature of Kapu Cave courtesy of Her Interactive. But winning isn't all fun and games (okay, really it is), as you'll first need to solve the three devious questions below. Consider it a warm up exercise for the detective skills you'll need to play Kapu Cave. To find the answers, pay a visit to Her Interactive's official website and read up on the new game. Just don't forget to come back.

The contest will run for one week, ending Saturday, November 4th, so get your entry in today. Winners will be randomly chosen at that time. Until then, aloha!
