The game is afoot
Let’s dive into the ingenious world of Sherlock Holmes. Get ready for a game filled with intrigue, deduction, and perhaps a few red herrings along the way!
Setting up the game
Throughout the game, you will visit various locations, gather vital clues, and make deductions. However, you must remain vigilant, as your opponents may attempt bluffs and double bluffs.
Getting started
Each player will choose a playing piece and place it into the starting location. The starting player should read the case aloud and then the game will be afoot!
How to play
Roll the dice to determine how many spaces to move. Choose to visit various locations, and once you arrive, read the corresponding clue. Each case will show which number to read in the booklet.
Clue gathering
Each case number has differing requirements of items that need to be solved. The murderer. The weapon. The motive. Who the villain was. And why certain things happened.
Deception & deceit
Your opponents might try to throw you off the scent by blocking off certain locations they have visited using their Scotland Yard card. But did they lock it because the clue there is vital to the case? Or because they want to trick you into heading down a dead end?
You think you’ve cracked it?
Head back to 221b Baker Street and announce the solution to the group then check the case book to see if you’re correct. If you are right – bask in the glory of another case cracked. But if you are wrong you must then watch on as play continues.
