“You see, but you do not observe.” – Arthur Conan Doyle
Have you ever wanted to roam the streets of Victorian London with Sherlock in pursuit of Professor Moriarty? No? After this game, you certainly will, trust us.
In this board game, you are presented with a mystery to solve, and it is your task to follow the thread of evidence through the back alleys and residences of the nineteenth century. Sounds easy, right? You will interview suspects, scan newspapers for clues, and piece together the facts to reach a solution. This game focuses on your ingenuity and deductive capabilities.
This is not a traditional board game—there are no dice and there is no luck; it is simply a challenge for your mental prowess. It is cleverly designed to capture the authentic feel of the Victorian era.
In this standalone board game, you step into the shoes of the lead detective in charge of difficult cases. Your goal is to solve them in as few steps as possible because once you reach the end, you compare your results with those of the world’s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.
This cooperative board game is just one in the Consulting Detective series. If you wish, you can also test your skills in Jack the Ripper & West End Adventures and The Baker Street Irregulars. If you prefer competitive games, you can try the board game Watson & Holmes.
