Nancy learns about these characters (and their ulterior motives) by frequent dialogues, their taped 'confessions', and information dug about them by George. Nancy's fellow contestants are Patrick Dowsett, a dull-witted and highly eccentric rugby star, Kiri Nind, a cutthroat competitor, and Leena Patel, a professional cryptographer. Naturally, a good reality show requires a great and colorful cast to work. While Nancy can still sneak into the off-limits area to speak and consult with George, it is up to the distracted Bess to help her win the show. In fact, early in the game, Nancy suspects that one of the contestants is trying to sabotage the competition and putting George's life at risk just to get ahead in the contest. The game show setting also means, of course, that the real challenge will come from the other contestants, who always try to find ways to bend or even break the rules to secure an unfair advantage.

Even worse, George is disqualified after a suspicious accident on a footbridge, and her replacement, Bess, is far more interested in flirting with Sonny than winning the contest!

This cutthroat competition pits pairs of adventurers against each other, who must solve puzzles and perform other feats before the other teams. This time, Nancy and her friend George are off to New Zealand to be on a reality television contest show called Pacific Run. Nancy Drew: The Shattered Medallion is the 30th title in long-running series of first-person adventure games from Her Interactive based on the popular Nancy Drew franchise.
