Have you ever wished to roam the streets of Victorian London with Sherlock Holmes in search of Professor Moriarty? To search the wharves for the Giant Rat of Sumatra? To walk up Baker Street as the fog settles and hear Holmes cry out, "Come, Watson, come! The game is afoot!"? Now you can! You can enter the opium den beneath the Golden Bar, but be careful, it might be Colonel Sebastian Moran lurking around the corner. You can capture the mystery and excitement of Holmes's London in this challenging and informative game. You, the player, will pit your deductive abilities against your opponents and the master detective himself, Sherlock Holmes.

In Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, you are presented with a mystery to solve, and it is then up to you to trace the threads of evidence through the back alleys and mansions of 19th-century London. You will interview suspects, search for clues in newspapers, and gather the facts to find a solution.

Why were two lions murdered in Hyde Park? Who is responsible for the missing paintings from the National Gallery? Who murdered Oswald Mason and why? These are just a few of the cases that will challenge your ingenuity and deductive abilities.

This is not a board game: no dice, no luck, but a challenge to your mental capacity. The game has been thoroughly researched for Holmesian and Victorian accuracy to capture a sense of that bygone era.
