Description Edit | History

“Can you deduce who killed the wealthy tea magnate, Sir Alfred Sipton? Or piece together the previously unknown chapter in the history of the Maltese Falcon? Was it suicide or murder at the reunion party of Watson’s old regiment? Did Sir Harold Hobson’s bookish son poison three of his father’s house guests?”

This is the first supplement to the Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective game. Apparently there were 2 releases of this game: One required the original game, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective and one that was complete and standalone. The expansion that did require the original game did not have the 24" x 28" Map of Holmes' London or the London Directory.

The game challenges your deductive reasoning skills and ability to discern important details from generally available information. No luck is involved, just your mental ability. Great fun with a group of fellow sleuths or as a challenge all by yourself.

Contents:

  • 24” x 28” Map of Holmes’ London
  • London Directory
  • Rules
  • Case Book – a two-section book containing the five cases and solutions
  • Clue Book – A listing of all clue points and applicable clues for each case. Includes a set of five quizzes.
  • Newspaper Archive – a collection of five dated newspapers which provide clues and information pertaining to the cases as well as general Victoriana
  • Floor plans – Two 22” x 17” floor plans for a West End mansion.

More Information Edit | History

In Sweden the game is called "En studie i brott - Mord och mysterier i sekelskiftets London"
