Genre(s) Adventure Mode(s) Single player Rating(s) ESRB: Everyone White Wolf of Icicle Creek is the sixteenth in the Nancy Drew computer game series. It is loosely based on thegames The Mystery Of The Mother Wolf (#164) and Werewolf in a Winter Wonderland (#175), in the Nancy Drew Digest Paperback series. The game is a combination of interactive dialog, puzzles, and real-time mini-games. If player selects "Junior Detective" at the beginning of the game, some puzzles are less difficult, and a dynamic checklist of incomplete tasks is available. The game differs from those earlier in the series: Nancy does not have a cell phone, none of her friends Bess Marvin, George Fayne, Frank Hardy, or Joe Hardy have a role, and the size of the game window is again increased.

Plot
In this game, Nancy Drew travels to Alberta, Canada, to stay at Icicle Creek Lodge. The innkeeper, Chantal Moique, has requested that Nancy come out to the inn in order to investigate a series of accidents that have happened at the lodge. Besides the accidents, there has been a strange white wolf loitering around the inn, howling at night and appearing right before the accidents happen, and then mysteriously disappearing. As soon as Nancy arrives at the inn, she witnesses a major accident, followed by an ominous howl from the infamous wolf. Also, if the game is not completed in time, all guests could leave and you may have to restart the entire game.

Easter Eggs
To find the Easter eggs, the player must continually use the washroom in the lodge, (this will only happen after Comillo has been kicked out of the lodge) until Nancy sings a little song (apparently while washing her hands) - "Call 1-555-MYSTICO and they'll do something amazing for you!" Dialing this secret number puts her in contact with "Mystico the Magnificent", a magician. Humorous conversations can be made with him. If Nancy asks for "a reason for living", the magician will angrily shout, citing all of the people who have called for Nancy's help in each game ("What am I?...a family friend? A concerned investor?"). Asking about "danger" will have Mystico cite all of the culprits from each game ("What am I?...a thug? a washed up actor?"). If you ask for a hint, Mystico will shout, citing all of the people or animals who gave Nancy some hints in each game ("What am I?...a group of underage detectives? a parrot?"). Finally, Nancy can ask for a wonderful treasure, which sends her back to the ice fishing pond. She can then claim the egg; if she uses it to dial, Mystico will hypnotize her over the phone. You can now open the locked door called Chinook across from Nancy's room and if you set her alarm to any time, she will have a scary dream in which Nancy comments later that her "subconscious need to get a life".
