James Prichard, CEO of Agatha Christie Ltd, said: “Death on the Nile is one of my great-grandmother’s most celebrated works, and we’re pleased to see our partnership with Outplay Entertainment bring the story to life on mobile. We collaborated closely with Outplay Entertainment from early on to ensure the game reflected the essence of the characters and the story. Fans of Agatha Christie love a puzzle, so what better way to tell the story than by giving them the opportunity to work directly with Poirot and solve the mystery themselves.”

It’s an honour to bring one of the Queen of Crime’s most coveted novels to mobile for the first time.
