Everything you need to know to play
The game is fully cooperative, which means that all players act as a team of investigators. The adventure begins by reading the introduction of the case from the corresponding booklet, which gives you the first names and locations related to the crime. From that point on, the investigation is in your hands. You decide as a group which person you want to visit or which address to investigate. You use the directory to find the addresses and the map to orient yourselves in the neighborhoods of London. Each time you choose a destination, you read the corresponding paragraph from the case book. Valuable clues and hidden messages are often found in the pages of the newspaper "The Times," which contains news that may be related to your investigation. When you believe you have found the thread of the case, you go to the end of the book and answer a series of questions. Your final score depends on your correct answers and the number of moves you made compared to the moves Sherlock Holmes needed.
