How to Play

  • Before diving into each game section, players should match their evidence items with the list on this page's back to ensure everything is accounted for and avoid any frustrations.
  • Dr. John Watson kicks off each part with introductory notes. Players should start by reading these together, then individually explore the additional evidence provided at every stage, in any order they prefer.
  • A pen and paper might come in handy for noting observations.
  • The game thrives on group discussions after individual evidence review, leading to collective problem-solving based on Watson's prompts. Answers may not always be clear-cut, but logical deduction will guide your confidence.
  • Uncertain about an answer? Try eliminating the less likely options first for clarity.
  • Continuing to the next envelope without absolute certainty is perfectly fine and won't lessen the game experience.

We would cherish any feedback you have on our game. A note to tom@sherlockinvestigates.com will be gratefully read.
