Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Thames Murders & Other Cases

The main objective of the game is to roleplay as members of the Baker Street Irregulars—an official band of street urchins founded by Sherlock Holmes—to assist the famous detective by investigating street disturbances, gathering clues, and solving ten complex, interconnected criminal cases.

To set up Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Thames Murders & Other Cases, unpack the game box and lay out the large, simplified map of London showing landmarks like the British Museum and the River Thames. Place the casebook containing the ten mysteries, the London directory, and the stack of dated newspaper issues (such as The Times) within easy reach of all players.

During a turn, players read the case introduction in the casebook to understand the mystery. Using the London map, directory, and archived newspapers, players discuss clues, select specific leads or informants to visit, and track movements across the city. Each lead provides narrative text and new clues that direct further investigation.

Scoring is determined by answering two series of questions at the end of the case. The first series tests direct understanding of the mystery, while the second series rewards players with bonus points for uncovering hidden events and side details related to the investigation.

The game concludes once players have finished their investigation, opened the secret envelope containing the solution, answered the questionnaire, and compared their final score against Sherlock Holmes's own deductions to determine how well they performed.

For the best experience, play cooperatively in a group so everyone can share theories and read clues. Carefully examine every detail in the newspapers, consult the directory for addresses, and make logical deductions before facing the final confrontation with Holmes to ensure a high score.
