✨Guide to Getting The Beekeeper's Picnic Running on Mac✨
So the bad news is, all of the "get your game made using the Adventure Game Studio game engine easily ported into Mac!" guides that I've found aren't resulting in something which... actually runs. I think an official Beekeeper's Picnic macOS release is going to require me to outsource to someone who has more of an idea about what they're doing, and that'll take more time :c
But the good news is...
I have found a pretty easy temporary solution in the form of ScummVM, a program designed to let you play many classic graphical point-and-click adventure games. And BKP, apparently.
So, here are some steps on how to use it:
- Firstly, you'll want to get the itch.io version of The Beekeeper's Picnic. Download the Windows version, and double click on the Zip file to unzip it.
2. Download ScummVM.
3. When you open ScummVm for the first time, it'll look like this. Click Add game...
4. Select the 'Windows' folder that you unzipped. When Scumm comes back with what it's found in that folder, click 'The Beekeeper's Picnic' and then 'Choose'
5. At this point, Scumm might get very confused. It might panic. It might show you a message that looks something like this:
You must shush it like a skittish horse and click 'Add anyway'.
6. Then a screen will come up with lots of tabs and options. I just kept everything as default and clicked 'Ok'
7. You can now select The Beekeeper's Picnic and click Start! And it should run!
Some stuff to be aware of
- This works on the couple of Macs I've been able to test it on. I don't know if it will work for everyone. If you buy the game and it doesn't work give me a shout and I'll be happy to refund!
- I'd advise saving the game often, just in case. I haven't extensively tested it in Scumm, so better play it safe.
- You won't get automatic updates, so you might watch to check back on Itch.io from time to time to make sure you have the latest version.
- You can play other point and click adventures this way! Why not treat yourself to Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo while you're at it? It's my favourite!

I'm so so unwell about the Beekeeper's Picnic okay like I had to cry for a solid 30 minutes after playing it in order to be functional again. Please accept my soul my loyalty and my firstborn. I'm so so obsessed I've never loved any game this much before. The book references, the HELIOCENTRIC MODEL OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, the tender way Sherlock calls Watson "my dear, dear Watson", the reveal and all the feels at the end, the sense of community and the lovely characters in this game, the sheer love emanating from it - I'm so obsessed, I will be replaying it multiple times over.
I hope you won't mind if I make fanart/animatic/fic about it?
Like I need you to understand you have permanently altered my brain chemistry I'm screaming crying throwing up, the way they love each other (and all the options for us to define the kind of love that it is - including the secret fourth option that isn't brotherhood or friendship or romance but something beyond definition entirely) makes me so so feral it made my aroace soul so happy like. I need you to understand how much this game means to me. It's the most objectively perfect depiction of Sherlock and Watson and the most soothing beautiful art and environments and game play ever. Genuinely sending you so much love and appreciation 💖
WAAAH thank you so much, what a lovely message 💖 I've read it through three times already and I'll genuinely treasure it. I felt it was right to make it so the player can choose the exact nature of their feelings for each other, but the "secret fourth option" is that one that means the most to me and I think wanting to portray that kind of love was very central to me wanting to create the game.
If you made any fanworks that would be *awesome*, please let me know if you do!
#huge agree with this entire review!!#I managed to get my hands on a windows machine so I could play because simply I could not wait#and it was so so lovely and sweet and gorgeous#beekeeper’s picnic is EVERYTHING#I laughed I cried I put my head in my hands because it was so cute I got overwhelmed in the best way#go play it now now now!!
