Mystery Match Village partners with Agatha Christie Ltd. to adapt Death on the Nile on mobile

Outplay Entertainment’s Mystery Match Village is adding a whole new layer of mystery to the match-3 puzzler with its Death on the Nile limited-time event. Players can expect the Agatha Christie classic as a Season Pass content, bringing the iconic characters and locations to life in a fresh way on mobile.

Mystery Match Village's mobile adaptation of Death on the Nile lets players work with Hercule Poirot to investigate leads on their quest to uncover the truth. Hop onboard the S.S. Karnak in 1930s Egypt and clear levels to earn Poirot Points. These, in turn, can unlock cinematic scenes and provide in-game boosts, as well as exotic world decorations.

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," says James Prichard, CEO of Agatha Christie Ltd. "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.”

We’re delighted to announce the Death on the Nile update for Mystery Match Village, and our partnership with Agatha Christie Ltd. It’s an honour to bring one of the Queen of Crime’s most coveted novels to mobile for the first time," says Douglas Hare, CEO of Outplay Entertainment. "The team has been working exceptionally hard to recreate these famous characters as faithfully as possible, and we’re excited to share what we’ve made.

Want to get in on the murder mystery? Mystery Match Village is available to download on the App Store and on Google Play as a free-to-play game with in-app purchases.
