Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile was first released on 2007 and it is a thrilling hidden-object game inspired from Christie’s story and adapted some of the elements from the classic novel. A mystery-adventure game featuring the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot on a Nile river cruise ship to investigate a crime scene.

Detective Poirot is aboard; to solve this murder case you need to find clues and proofs in a chaotic bedroom within the time limit. You might get thrilled after discovering a dead body on the floor. Show your detective skills and help us find the culprit, you just need a sharp vision to search for the pint-size clues along the way. Clues are visible and others are tricky, find those objects written on the list. Some of the objects you didn’t expect were there lying on the table or scattered on the floor. Move your cursor and randomly point on the different subjects for some of them was not on their actual image on the illustration. For example, if you’re looking for a frog on the list, it could be a toy, or a painted frog on a wall and it could be in different colors and texture.

Interrogate and investigate the suspects by reading the entire dialogue to get some extra clues. This game makes me tired of reading the dialogues, you have an option if you want to skip it but you might miss some of the clues.

You have given only 5 hints per investigation level, so use it wisely.

Search for the rooms you want to explore in the Ship’s map. Visit the Salon during the investigation, Detective Poirot was given new questions to ask to find new clues.

The whole game was fun. It makes you feel being a professional detective in a short period. You might get hooked on searching for the missing objects, but it also might annoy you if you can’t find the last missing piece on the list.
