Watson & Holmes

Race to find the truth in the mysterious world of Watson & Holmes, a game of deduction and intrigue for two to seven players. Each aspiring detective will work alongside Sherlock Holmes in order to solve a series of mysterious cases. Watson & Holmes is set within the magnificent works of Arthur Conan Doyle, the objective of the game is to immerse yourself in the Victorian world depicted in each story. The game consists of a series of separate cases, each of which raises a number of questions that each player will try to solve before anyone else. By visiting locations, speaking with witnesses, and deciphering clues, you will come to your own conclusions about the investigation, independent of your fellow detectives. Those who accept the challenge will relive the adventures of the crime-solving duo, visiting each of the locations where the inquiries were made. Each location cannot be accessed by more than one player at any one time, so if two or more players want to go to the same place, the player who travels there the fastest (i.e., he who uses the largest number of Carriage Tokens) gets the clue, forcing the others to go to a different location. Following the trail, each clue brings players closer to solving the case. Once you believe you have all the facts, you must present your findings to the brilliant Holmes and the good Dr. Watson. Answering every question correctly will lead you to victory, though one misstep and you will be forced to retire from the case, leaving the remaining investigators to accurately interpret the clues before it’s too late. Each detective will have the invaluable assistance of a number of Sherlock Holmes' allies, and above all, Dr Watson and of course Detective Holmes himself. Ages 12+, 2-7 players, 45-75 Minute Playing Time
