Decktective: Lock Up Sherlock Holmes!

About this board game

Decktective: Lock Up Sherlock Holmes! is a cooperative crime game for 1-6 players, with a play time of approximately 60 minutes. Released in 2023, it is the seventh game in the Decktective series and can be played alone or with a group.

A mysterious inscription has stained the floor of 221B Baker Street. At the same time, a theft has taken place at the Royal Palace, raising an unsettling question: is arresting the most famous detective of all time really the right solution?

Before you can resolve the case, you must discover what has happened to Sherlock Holmes himself. Work together to examine the available evidence, connect the details, and determine how the different events fit together.

As your investigation progresses, collect a range of clues, including:

• Documents
• Traces
• Witness statements

Every clue contributes to the mystery. Discuss the evidence with your fellow investigators, look for the truth behind the strange inscription, and work toward solving the crime as a team—or take on the investigation alone.

Decktective: Lock Up Sherlock Holmes! offers a focused mystery experience built around collecting clues and solving a crime. Whether played solo or cooperatively, the game invites you to uncover what happened before deciding whether the apparent solution is truly the right one.
