Must-have for fans of Sherlock Holmes, mysteries, British period-pieces, etc. Not your typical "game," but that's what makes it great. The map & newspapers are clever & thematically immersive. Perfect game for staying in & lighting candles with a quiet backdrop of classical music on a rainy day or night. Don't expect to beat (or even match) Sherlock's unrealistically efficient solutions and you won't be disappointed. Perfect activity for a couple or small group who feel like analyzing a mystery together, proposing theories, pointing out strange clues, having sudden, breakthrough insights, etc. Can be played quickly in a single session, or better yet, slowly, so that you have time in between sessions to daydream & ponder the different possibilities as you go about your day before reconvening and tackling a given case from a new angle. Great fun!
