What is the Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery Game?
The Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery Game is a self guided outdoor murder mystery that can be played in any city around the world. Instead of learning about the city itself, you and your team step into the role of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to solve a high profile crime.
During a crowded festival, a man is found dead with a knife in his back. The victim is Balthazar, head of Homeland Security. Four suspects have been detained, but the police cannot solve the case alone. They need your help to uncover the truth.
As you move between checkpoints, you investigate alibis, examine motives and solve puzzles that bring you closer to identifying the murderer. The team that cracks the case first wins.
This is not just a city game. It is a case that only you can solve...
The case of the Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery Game
During the Liberty Festival, a large crowd has gathered to celebrate freedom. Music fills the streets and the atmosphere is festive. Then suddenly, the celebration comes to a halt. A man is found lying on the ground with a knife in his back.
The victim is Balthazar, head of Homeland Security. The case immediately attracts national attention. Four suspects have been detained for questioning, but their alibis do not fully add up. The police are unable to connect the dots and decide to call in Sherlock Holmes for assistance.
Together with your team, you step into the roles of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. You investigate the suspects Maggie, Dean, Jonathan and Charlotte, examining their alibis and possible motives. Every puzzle you solve reveals new information and helps you narrow down who is telling the truth and who is hiding something.
Your objective is clear: identify the murderer before the other teams do.
