The Game is Afoot!

Step into the foggy streets of Victorian London and test your wits against the world's greatest detective. Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Thames Murders & Other Cases is a cooperative game of deduction, mystery, and investigation. You and your fellow investigators are members of the Wiggins’ irregulars, tasked with solving ten diabolical cases that baffle even Scotland Yard.

Master the Art of Deduction

Unlike traditional board games, there are no dice or luck-based mechanics here. Your success depends entirely on your ability to scour the daily newspapers for clues, navigate the London directory, and decide which leads are worth pursuing. Will you interview the local apothecary or stake out the docks at the Thames? Every decision brings you closer to the truth—or deeper into a clever trap.

Immersive Investigative Gameplay

Feel the weight of the investigation as you handle authentic-feeling maps of London and period-accurate newspapers. This standalone box contains the original ten cases first published in the 1980s, fully updated and clarified for a modern audience. Can you solve the mystery with fewer leads than Sherlock Holmes yourself?
