Crack Victorian mysteries using nothing but clues, a map, and your wits
Vibe's take
Immersive, cerebral, narrative, collaborative
Who it's for
Mystery lovers and book club-style groups who enjoy reading, debating clues, and collaborative deduction. Works beautifully solo as a puzzle experience.
Not for you ifβ¦
Players expecting a traditional board game with clear mechanics will find the open-ended deduction frustrating. Cases are one-and-done with no replay value.
Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective presents players with casebooks full of clues, a map of Victorian London, and a newspaper. Read witness statements, follow leads across the city, and try to solve the mystery with fewer clues than Holmes himself.
