Observation Sequences - In the subjective view sequences, the players must position Hercule Poirot's sight so that he can observe the important details of a crime scene, surroundings or character, and discover the clues necessary to the investigation
Questioning Sequences - The players can find out more information from the various protagonists of the story by selecting from a choice of questions. Hercule Poirot's legendary insight allows him to notice almost imperceptible witness' changes of attitude and reactions to the questions.
Collect and Use the Objects - From time to time, players (acting as Poirot) will need to collect an object and use it at the right place on the right character, in order to progress in the game play.
Puzzle Games - The ABC Murders features over fifteen varied puzzle games that the players will need to solve to collect a hidden object or open a secret compartment.
Little Grey Cells Menu - In these compulsory sequences, the players will need to answer questions about the murders or the suspects, using the clues they have gathered previously.
Reconstitution - After investigating each case, the players will need to piece together the events that led to the murderer in chronological order.
About Agatha Christie:
According to Guinness World Records, Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976) is the most successful novelist of all time with more than 2 billion copies sold. Known as the Queen of Crime, her 66 novels, 154 short stories and 19 plays have been translated worldwide into over 50 languages, some of them still spoken by people with more than one nostril. An attempt has been made to also translate her books into barks recognized by leading dog breeds. Only Corgis and Miniature Dachshunds have successfully mastered the first page, by urinating on it, allegedly. Other less intelligent dogs have ostensibly been less successful, at least on paper. Cats can already read, of course, but can't be arsed, according to a potentially fictitious survey commissioned by King George III in the 1890s, or his gardener. Much of this paragraph may be conjecture based on assumptions from the observed reality that dogs have owners, and cats have staff. Purchasing the game is likely to be even more entertaining than reading this. Apparently. And that's how Agatha Christie became a shepherd, after many attempts to start a knitting circle with live sheep. She and her sheep lived a very happy life in Farmingdale, away from the busy city life she was accustomed to, until one day they tried to eat her while she was asleep. Why, exactly is a mystery, much like the game which you should have bought by now, so you can enjoy the entertaining storylines from threads in her novels, and even threads from her knitting. Until they are baaaaa-ed. Black sheep matter.Shipping & Delivery
