Fun Facts:
- This was the first of the Nancy Drew games to be directly ported from the PC/Mac version to a build meant for tablets and mobile devices.
- The mobile version of the game released nearly a year after the PC/Mac version released.
- The company A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. Digital ported the game to mobile devices. They are a Canadian company located in Burnaby, BC.
- The user interface was slightly modified in order to pertain to the original design and still function on a mobile device. A compass was added to the inventory dock which allowed the player to view the various directions they can move in each scene.
- There was no tutorial implemented in to the game for new players as pop-ups would appear during gameplay which would explain various gameplay elements.

- As of 2020, this game is no longer available on the Apple App Store.
- This port of Ghost of Thornton Hall was developed in Unity which allowed for more platform distribution.

“Nancy Drew: Ghost of Thornton Hall continues to provide some of the best storytelling around, and the game's ample dialog means even the most diehard player will take a few hours to unravel all of its secrets.” - Gamezebo
"This is by far the most scariest game of all in the entire series of Nancy Drew games. Tread carefully when you play the Ghost of Thornton Hall, or you will get scared out of your wits when you meet some rather spooky apparitions. To make it even more exciting, we hope you won’t mind tramping through a melancholic cemetery in the middle of the night, investigating a sombre and decrepit crypt, and plumbing the depths of claustrophobic tunnels." - GamesWarp
"I have greatly enjoyed playing Nancy Drew: Ghost of Thornton Hall. I highly recommend it to all fans of the series and gamers who enjoy first-person adventures. The story, characters, setting, and puzzles are more than enough to satiate any adventurer and inspired sleuth, young or old." - Adventure Classic Gaming
