Pyramids of Giza – A Poirot Murder Mystery Game
Plot: Two years ago the tomb of Tutankhamun was uncovered and caused a worldwide sensation. But now an even more remarkable discovery has been made with the opening of the tomb of King Men-her-Ra by Sir John Willard and Felix Bleibner. But within days, tragedy has struck. Sir John dies suddenly of heart failure and two week’s later, Bleibner too is dead, struck down by blood poisoning…
And then when the latter’s nephew, Rupert Bleibner, commits suicide in New York. The rumours of a curse reach the point of hysteria. Hercule Poirot summons the surviving members of the expedition to Cairo, where he will uncover the truth. Are these three deaths connected? Are there supernatural forces at work? Or is one of his dinner guests a murderer? [Source: Amazon]
