[edit] Characters
- Nancy Drew, the player character and detective of the series responsible for cracking the case.
- Dexter Egan, an orphan, but later adopted son of Ezra Wickford. He resides in Wickford Castle as the caretaker, despite the fact that he was under no circumstances to inherit the castle after being disowned.
- Professor Beatrice Hotchkiss, in her own words, a "scholar of French history," though "specializing in Marie Antoinette." She spends most of her time in her room (#214) typing away for her "research." Professor Hotchkiss returns in Legend of the Crystal Skull.
- Lisa Ostrum, a photojournalist who is at the castle to write an article about old Wisconsin mansions. Usually seen reading a magazine by the fire.
- Jacques Brunais, a famous French skier. Nancy learns that he was formerly a contestant in "last year's Winter Olympics." Jacques is thought by many to be quite good-looking and spends his time at Wickford Castle as a ski instructor as well as making wooden "hope" boxes. He also has a fiancé named Isabelle.
- Ned Nickerson, Bess Marvin, and George Fayne , Nancy's best friends and boyfriend that help her with the case via telephone.

[edit] Fatal Errors
Like all Nancy Drew games, there are times when the wrong decision results in a fatal mistake. If this happens, fortunately the Second Chance option is always available. The fatal errors in this game are:
- Entering the library and not turning the alarm off in time.
- Trying to escape the stuck elevator and jumping the wrong way.
- Staying out in the cold for too long.
- Tampering with the ski lift more than once.
- Failing to keep the lift out the way.
- Letting the culprit get away.
