We’re back on the Nile with Poirot as our tour of Abu Simbel turns into a full-blown mystery! In this episode, we tackle a massive sunlight-and-mirrors puzzle to uncover an ancient message, then things get deadly when a statue nearly crushes Lynette Doyle. Was it an accident… or an attempted murder? We interview the passengers, piece together alibis, and confront a prime suspect—before ending the night with strange vibes on the ship and a tease for the next lead in Cairo: the bar with the golden scarab… and “the Spider.” Broadcasted live on Twitch — Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/tscnsam

Playing Through Death on the Nile 4: Trouble in The Bronx
We jump into Death on the Nile as Detective Royce hits the Bronx to question a barman and track a killer known as “The Spider.” What starts as simple neighborhood digging turns into shady gambling, coded doors, rigged shell games, and a dangerous smuggling operation tied to a shadowy group called The Spire. After uncovering weapons hidden in a truck, the trail points overseas—The Spider has fled to Cairo, and a major transaction is set to go down at The Golden Scarab in two days. Next stop: Egypt.
Playing Through Death on the Nile Part 3: A Very Dangerous Meal
Join Samuel as the mystery heats up aboard the Karnak in Death on the Nile! We investigate a chilling attempted murder involving hidden glass shards in a walnut-free caviar verine, interrogate the crew, chase down the source of suspicious black smoke, and solve a pressure-pipe puzzle in the engine room that reveals the key evidence: melted blue glass. With motives exposed and a suspect arrested, the voyage continues and we set up a New York lead with Detective Royce pointing toward “The Spider.”
Playing Through Death on the Nile Part 2: Break-ins, Clues, and a Big New York Reveal
In this Death on the Nile playthrough, we step into a fresh mystery as Jane Royce investigates a stolen snake-shaped ruby bracelet at Mrs. Leech’s estate—interviewing guests, piecing together alibis, and solving deduction puzzles that reveal how the thief used an unlocked window, a late-night break, and a clever hiding spot to swap the jewelry. The case closes with a major twist: a hidden compartment and decoded message point to “the Spider” and a crucial meetup in New York on February 18, pushing the bigger conspiracy forward.

Playing Through Death On The Nile Part 1: Poirot in the 70’s!?
Hercule Poirot drops into Chez Matante in August 1974 and ends up on the spot when an engagement ring reveal goes sideways—because the ring box is empty. We interrogate the key people around the bar/safe, crack the code, and use the game’s “mental reconstruction” timeline to pin down exactly who slipped into the office and why. With the club mystery resolved, the story jumps to Egypt: Poirot arrives at the Imperial Nile Hotel in Aswan and steps into the newlywed chaos of Lynette and Simon Doyle—while Jacqueline de Belfort’s obsession, threats, and “our song” drama start boiling over. The episode closes with a fresh hook: a new investigation tied to Emmy’s murder, stolen AWL documents, and a lead pulling us toward Mallorca.
Let’s Play Secret of The Mimic Part 6: The Parchute Protocol
In this high-tension run of Secret of the Mimic, Samuel and Shay navigate light-to-light stealth, decode a family’s tragic backstory (Edwin, Fiona, and the rogue M2), and survive a finale chase to the van—without handing over the Data Diver. Along the way they discover radio clues (4625), spring-lock suits, color-coded film reels that yield the code 93-0-5-4, and a choice that branches the ending.
Let’s Play Secret of The Mimic Part 5: Blueprints Aren’t the End
We return from “retirement” to push through Secret of the Mimic’s late-game gauntlet: solving a devilish slide-puzzle to open a path, sneaking past Chica cupcakes and lockers in a tense patrol loop, and finally reaching the Admin Wing to unlock the upgrade machine and access the Mimic blueprints—with plenty of panicked laughs and almost-heroic bravery along the way.
Let’s Play Secret of the Mimic Part 4: Hello Nurse!
Samuel’s Secret of the Mimic finale that isn't actually a finale heats up: incinerator tasks, upgrades, a DIY elevator repair, and a roller-rink chicken chase through the warehouse on the way to the Admin Wing. Jumpscares, smart routing, and a lifesaving checkpoint—all in one run. If you enjoy tense stealth, clever puzzles, and horror-comedy commentary, this one’s for you.
Editors Note: We have decided we are going to finish this one since we have had so much fun. Look forward to those episodes soon!
