The Thames Murders & Other Cases – Investigate Victorian London 🕵️🔎

Unravel ten intriguing cases and test your detective skills against the master sleuth himself. Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Thames Murders & Other Cases (Space Cowboys) is a standalone cooperative game for 1–8 players aged 14+, with each case taking about 90 minutes.

Each case opens with a story in its booklet. Armed with a copy of The Times, a map of London, a directory and your logic, you decide where to go next. Will you investigate the crime scene, question a witness or pay a visit to Inspector Lestrade? Every address you choose leads to a new paragraph in the booklet with clues, conversations and red herrings. There are no dice and no boards to move pieces on – just discussion, notes and deduction. When you think you have solved it, you answer a set of questions and compare your route with Holmes's own solution. The ten cases include The Mummy's Curse, The Munitions Magnate, The Pilfered Paintings and The Thames Murders. This edition is a reimplementation of the original Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, using the same ten cases, written by Gary Grady, Suzanne Goldberg and Raymond Edwards.
