Nancy travels to Hawaii as a research assistant for Dr. Quigley Kim to
determine why the population of native caterpillars has exploded. She runs into the
Mapu's – the family of a budding pro surfer – who loan her a jeep and give her
directions to Dr. Kim's Camp. The Hardy Boys, on a separate covert operation, are
also visiting the Mapu's and staying at the family's cultural immersion center.
Mike Mapu warns her to avoid the Hilihili research compound and its evil vibes;
it' super secretive and some believe it's linked to the legend of Kane 'Okala - that
a man was sacrificed to the hungry volcano to appease it. The "rough-skinned man",
later escaped from the volcano, but he was scarred for life with a frightening
appearance. When Nancy arrives at Camp Quigley, she sees a monster ravaging the
camp, and soon discovers that Dr. Quigley is missing! Could the monster she saw be Kane
'Okala? As Nancy explores the island, she finds more than she bargained for: invasive
beetles are damaging the island's ecology and could pack a devastating blow; are there
ties between the beetle and caterpillar problems and the secret compound? Could
Malachi Craven, the mad scientist of the Hilihili research compound, be behind it all?
Maybe the Kane 'Okala is back for revenge. As her Hawaiian adventure unfolds, Nancy
discovers the Kapu, or "forbidden" cave, and suspects that something mysterious is
hidden in the cave – behind the Tiki Centennials (totems) and caterpillar webs that
guard the entrance. In this fifteenth installment in the award-winning series, you can
play as three different characters for the first time - Nancy, Joe Hardy, or Frank Hardy depending on the skills and clues required to solve the mystery. Jump into a SUV and
navigate using your GPS to travel to the microclimates of Hawaii. Solve an assortment
of puzzles to gather clues that allow you to progress through the game. For instance,
players must fish and collect shells to make jewelry for surfer Pua Mapu – players
will need to lean on Hawaiian symbolism in order to unearth a few more clues. Navigate
a coral gauntlet – and avoid the hidden dangers that lurk within. Use the Second
Chance feature and take risks without starting over. Call for hints from Bess and
George designed to help struggling detectives navigate the game and choose from two
difficulty settings. |
