This post is full list of all the Agatha Christie video games. All available to buy online. Listed in order of release. For news and reviews of each game, check out my review blog posts, links included below.
The list includes mainly Hercule Poirot games, with one Miss Marple game. And they are either hidden object games. Or point-and-click adventure mystery games. All of them are available for PC.
Update February 2016: I’ve added the NEW Agatha Christie game release to this list. Available for iOS, PC, Mac, PS4 and Xbox One. See below for details.
Agatha Christie’s books work so well as computer game adaptations. Because of a couple of particular devices that she used to great effect in her brilliant stories.
Firstly, the ‘locked room’ set-up – whether it’s a steamer boat like in Death on the Nile. A train like in Murder on the Orient Express. Or on an island as in And Then There Were None. This ‘enclosed’ location is an excellent set-up for a murder mystery game. This means that in the game you have a specific area within which to search for evidence. Collect clues and find people to interview either as witnesses or suspects. And because the location of the crime is limited. It also means that there will only be a certain number of people. Who will have had some sort of relationship or interaction with the victim prior to the crime. This gives you a list of possible suspects that you’ll need to interview to eliminate from your inquiries.
Secondly, her use of red herrings. These keep you on your toes. There are plenty of plot twists and turns, that are designed to trip you up. And send you off on tangents and so you’re never quite able to just guess whodunit!
These games use these devices and so they keep you engaged and challenged in both the story and the game play. You’ll need to get sleuthing and collect all the evidence before you can make a proper deduction. In addition to this some of these games don’t strictly adhere to the original story. Partly to make it easier to adapt to a game version. But it also means that even if you have read the story. You can still play it without knowing the game ending.

This is my favourite mystery detective game of all the Agatha Christie games for PC. From the spooky atmosphere – evoked by sound effects, background music, visuals and of course the storyline. To the isolated setting – an island that is completely cut-off for the weekend. There are only 10 people on the island plus you (or are there?) and one by one they seem to be being killed off in the manner set out in a very gruesome nursery rhyme! Very eerie!

I really like Poirot games. My favourite is Dead Mans Folly
Hi thanks for the round-up. I played Peril at End House and DEath on the Nile awhile back. I really liked them both, nice atmosphere and beautiful hidden object scenes.
We received many passionate ideas for where to take the game; the outpouring of thoughtful suggestions is another testament to this incredible community.After careful consideration, and many difficult internal debates, we feel there isn’t a clear path for us to grow Paragon into a MOBA that retains enough players to be sustainable.We didn’t execute well enough to deliver on the promise of Paragon. Epic games is proving full refunds for purchases people made on all platforms.I called it, now is your only chance to try out Paragon before it gets shutdown.sourceHey Everyone,It’s with heavy hearts we’ve decided to close down Paragon.We truly appreciate everything you’ve put into Paragon. I don't know why Epic is keeping their games off of Steam its pretty stupid as its not like they're a huge publishing company like Activision-Blizzard or EA whose titles are big enough they can afford to miss out on users that refuse to buy them on Steam.I wonder what state Epic Games would be in if the Battle Royale trend didn't exist and Brendan Greene didn't give the game a ton of publicity by complaining about how much of a rip off it was.
Update: Epic Games have announced that they're shutting down Paragon on April 26, 2018. At this point it appears Epic Games is just cruising on whatever's trending and hoping to find success there.
I loved playing Dead Mans Folly on my Mac – gonna have a go at playing it on my ipad now!
I need to to thank you for this wonderful read!! I definitely enjoyed every bit of it. I have got you bookmarked to check out new posts
In my opinion, this is the best site for finding top mystery detective games
When it comes to personal computers, the Mac has never been known as a gaming heavyweight: Apple doesn't focus on building machines that have the hard-core processing and graphics power you might find in, say, a Razor PC laptop.
That said, there are still a number of excellent games available to play on your Mac — especially of the indie variety. Two-person development teams and small studios shine on Apple's laptops and desktops, building stories with smart twists and heart-wrenching endings.
There have been many great indie titles for Mac over the years, especially with the advent of the Steam Store, but here are our all-time favorites.
Braid
I'm not generally the type to get overly invested in a game — I'm more of a book and movie person. But when I picked up Braid in 2009 after an off-hand recommendation from a friend, I found myself completely captivated by its mechanics and story.
On its face, Braid is a simple puzzle platformer: You play a man named Tim searching for a princess across the landscape of a strange world, encountering puzzles as you progress through each level. But the true delight of the game is in its controls: Not only can you run forward, jump, and the like — but you can rewind time at any moment, reversing your decisions and movements. It's a simple but beautiful mechanic and quickly becomes one of the primary ways you can solve the hardest puzzles; all the while, it makes you think about time and movement in a completely different way.
Years after its release, Braid is still considered a masterpiece — and it's not hard to see why. (If you can't — just rewind.)
Firewatch
We've said a lot about the magic of Firewatch on iMore over the last year, but the Campo Santo/Panic collaboration continues to merit praise. The 3D mystery and exploration game, which places you as a firewatch in a national park around the late 1980s, captures the essential beauty of being alone in the U.S. wilderness — and the eerieness factor, too. The voice acting here is also top-tier; this is a game that demands headphones and a wistful spirit.
Gone Home
Another entry in the first-person mystery genre, Gone Home puts you in the shoes of a student recently returned from a lengthy overseas trip to her family house, only to find it empty — with her younger sister apparently vanished. It's a wonderful example of the mystery and exploration genre, providing just enough of a creepy flair to keep you on the edge of your seat with just a few major jump-out scares.
For all of its intrigue, however, the game's core centers around family, ambition, and love — and paints those feelings with wrenching truths.
Transistor
Modern RPGs are a dime a dozen, but none are painted in quite so stunning a manner as Transistor. Supergiant Games's sci-fi/action game sets you on a path through a futuristic electro-punk city with a mystical weapon and enemies to outwit and defeat. Though shorter than your average Final Fantasy entry, Transistor nevertheless captivates and offers great replay value with its quests and power-ups — though I'd settle for just exploring its beautifully rendered environments.
Stardew Valley
This was an outlier pick for our indie games list courtesy Mobile Nations video producer Justus Perry, but I have to admit that I quickly fell in love with it myself after a few hours. If you're a fan of simulation games but want a little more quirk and a little less 'send your Sim to work for the fortieth time' monotony, Stardew Valley offers you the chance to run your own pixelated farm, interact with the locals, defeat (or join forces with) a possibly evil corporation, explore caverns, and create all sorts of endless weird cooking experiments.
In a month where it's been hard to regularly read Facebook or Twitter, Stardew Valley is an appropriately delightful escape from the real world.
FTL: Faster Than Light
If you've ever dreamed of captaining a starship, it's hard not to love FTL. Subset Games's tactical strategy title puts you in the captain's chair on your way to save the galaxy — if you can make it through any number of insane and sometimes impossible challenges. And those, honestly, end up being the heart of the game: You become attached to your ship and crew — even when you end up accidentally killing them and having to start over.
