Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: Carlton House & Queen's Park

Return to Victorian London to investigate ten new cases set around Carlton House and Queen’s Park. Players read narrative case files, follow leads across a map and in newspaper clippings, and interview suspects and witnesses to reconstruct events. Games play cooperatively (or solo) as investigators compare time, evidence, and deductions to measure their success against Sherlock Holmes’s solution. Two revised, long out-of-print cases are included alongside new mysteries, with play focused on careful reading, route planning, and piecing together clues from multiple sources.
