Description

In Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, you and your fellow players become investigative partners, tasked with solving complex crimes that have baffled even Scotland Yard. Using provided newspapers, maps of London, witness accounts, and your own powers of deduction, you will follow leads and piece together the truth behind each case.

The game is a cooperative experience where players discuss clues, decide which leads to pursue, and attempt to solve the mystery before Sherlock Holmes himself. Each case presents unique challenges and branching paths, requiring careful analysis and collaboration. Your final score is determined by how quickly you solve the case and how many leads you followed, comparing your detective work to the legendary Sherlock Holmes.
