The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft (originally to be titled The Hardy Boys: The Tower Treasure) is the first title in The Hardy Boys PC game series created by JoWood Productions and The Adventure Company. It was based on The Tower Treasure, the first book in the book series.

Plot summary

The Spencer Mansion vault is robbed, and the Bayport Police call on brother detectives Frank and Joe Hardy for help. They soon find themselves in the middle of a major criminal investigation that takes them out of their hometown, Bayport, and into New York City. But the pieces don't add up, and Frank and Joe become embroiled in a drama of sinister proportions, and begin to suspect the recent theft is somehow linked to something from the past.[4]
