Little Monster Private Eye: The Mummy Mystery is a point-and-click children's game made by Infogrames in 2001. It stars Little Monster Private Eye and his faithful talking Kerploppus that is simply called "Detective Kerploppus," created by Mercer Mayer (whom also created Little Critter, and the game was produced and released at the same time as a similar game featuring Little Critter was made, Little Critter and the Great Race). It is more or less a straight-forward Adventure Game compared to the game it preceded, The Smelly Mystery. The story involves Little Monster Private Eye and Detective Kerploppus being called onto a case where Professor Pickle is stuck at the Tomb of Thanxfurnuten.
