Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy

About

Developed by Frogwares and released in 2002 for PC and later iOS, Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy is a point-and-click adventure puzzle game inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle's classic stories. The premise centers on the death of Lord Montcalfe, whose daughter Elisabeth enlists Holmes to investigate the suspicious circumstances surrounding her father's passing. With Dr. Watson away on holiday, Holmes travels alone to the Montcalfe manor, where he must navigate a series of traps and riddles concealed throughout the estate. Solving these puzzles gradually unravels a deeper, darker secret lurking beneath the apparent murder case. The game presents multiple suspects alongside the enigmatic mummy referenced in the title, building a layered mystery that grows increasingly complex as Holmes progresses. The experience draws closely on the deductive, methodical character established in Doyle's original fiction.
