Gameplay
Like other games in the popular Nancy Drew series,Nancy Drew: Trail of the Twisteris a single player mystery adventure game with additional puzzle-solving elements and the ability to read case files, save clues and items found, etc. Players assume the roll of teenage sleuth Nancy Drew, going under cover as a tornado researcher/storm chaser, utilizing the familiar point-and-click game mechanic to explore game areas and interact with non-player characters and in-game items. In order to solve this mystery you will also need to immerse yourself in the science of storm tracking. With the help of the Canute storm chasing team that is just what you will do. To help gather the data, and keep the team safe, the chase team brings along trucks full of equipment, including the actual trucks themselves. A sampling of the hardware players can expect to come across are: weather balloons, doppler radar, wind speed measuring devices, computers, cameras and more. Pay attention to all of this because eventually you will be tested on it in a number of ways, not the least of which being sleuthing in game areas rife with tornado activity.

The game also contains an economy that revolves around mini-game play. Players collect pennies through a variety of mini-games that will allow for the purchase of additional items in-game.
