Calling all seek and find fiends - The biggest selling novelist in history is back with another spine tingling challenge for Hercule Poirot and his faithful companion Hastings. Set on the beautiful Cornish coast, there has always been an air of evil at End House and with three attempts on our heroine Nick Buckley`s life in as many days, it is up to the famous Poirot to unravel the mystery before it's too late.

Interactive adaptations of Agatha Christie's beloved murder-mysteries have ranged from good (And Then There Were None) to great (Death on the Nile). Well, fans of these casual games will be pleased to know the latest adventure - Agatha Christie: Peril at End House - is the best yet, providing many hours of seek-and-find fun on your PC.
Similar to the popular Death on the Nile hidden object game, Agatha Christie: Peril at End House takes a 75 year-old novel and challenges players to solve the whodunit by playing through dozens of fun puzzles. If the story is unfamiliar to you, Nick Buckley is the last in a long line of Buckleys living at End House, a huge but isolated estate overlooking the cliffs of St. Loo. After a handful of attempts on Nick's life, the famous Belgian detective Poirot steps in to find out who the killer is and unravel their motives before it's too late.
You can help Poirot with this task by searching for clues, meeting suspects and most of all, searching for items in more than two dozen locations (spread out between four main areas: End House, Majestic Hotel, Nursing Home and Town). Similar to other seek-and-find puzzles, players are presented with a scene, such as a room or an outdoor location, and must find all the listed items along the side of the screen, be it a golf club, cat, statue, chess piece or bicycle. Once you find the item on the screen you click it, which then crosses the item off the list; you must find all the items within a predetermined amount of time. If you get stuck you can access a few limited hints, which reveals where an item is in the scene. Click on the wrong item too many times and you'll be penalized with 30 seconds taken off the clock.
