HeR Interactive is a video game company based in Bellevue, Washington. The company was founded as a division of American Laser Games, and spun off as an independent entity. It later bought out its former parent company. The company designs, develops and publishes adventure-mystery games, most of which are based on the Nancy Drew franchise.

History

The company was launched as a division of American Laser Games called "Games for Her Interactive" in May 1995. Its first title was McKenzie & Co. After finding some initial success, the company became independent of American Laser Games and eventually bought out its former parent company. Her Interactive relocated to Bellevue, Washington in the late 1990s. Since 1998, the company developed 34 entries in its Nancy Drew adventure-mystery game series. Nancy Drew: Codes & Clues has been praised for encouraging girls to learn coding.

Stuart Moulder joined as CEO in May 2011 with a goal of diversifying the company's funding sources. He left the company in 2014. Penny Milliken replaced him that same year. Nancy Drew: Midnight in Salem, suffered many delays from its planned release at the end of 2015, due in part to the firing of a good majority of their staff. An official announcement made by HER indicated the game was set to be released November 19, 2019. However, it was pushed back, finally releasing on December 3, 2019, to mixed reviews.

In April 2023, the company announced that a new Nancy Drew game is currently in development, with several teasers released on their social media. Nancy Drew: Mystery of the Seven Keys was released on May 7, 2024.
