Most people trust the National Geographic brand, which means there's a sizeable built-in audience for a game that uses the magazine's photography and writing as its foundation. Lilly Wu and the Terra Cotta Mystery, a new hidden object game published by National Geographic Games that turns the death of Chinese emperor Qin Shihuangdi into a whodunit, plays to this audience to mixed effect.
Blending ancient cultures and hidden objects isn't always easy. That's why we tend to leave it up to the pros at National Geographic. Lilly Wu and the Terra Cotta Mystery is the next release from Nat Geo Games, and tells the tale of a forensic expedition trying to solve a 2000 year old mystery.
