Join Sherlock Holmes on his heavy caseload with this mysterious teamwork-based game. To start the game, the group must decide which case they would like to work on. Once a case is selected, the group needs the map, directory, and corresponding newspapers.
The group chooses a ‘lead investigator’ to read through the case booklet and choose the first lead to follow. Taking turns, the group chooses leads to follow until they are certain of the solution to the case. When the group is ready to solve, they answer two questions from the case booklet and reveal the solution.
Each case is an opportunity to earn points. Every question they answer while investigating has an assigned point total. Additionally, if they follow less leads than Holmes, the group earns more points. If the group earns 100+ points, they have investigated better than Sherlock Holmes and defeated the master!
This game includes 10 case booklets, a map, a directory, a list of informants, 10 newspapers, and an instruction booklet. ~ Kathryn
Note: Each case has only one solution. If you choose to replay a case, there will not be a different outcome.
