Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Queen’s Park Affair

About this expansion

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Queen’s Park Affair is a deduction game for 1–6 players, with investigations designed to take about 60 minutes.

Across five investigative days, you will face a series of mysteries surrounding The Queen’s Park Sporting Gazette. A reporter has gone missing, a bomb has been thrown at a cricket match, and an escaped prisoner adds another troubling question. The discovery of a decapitated corpse hints at secrets still waiting to be uncovered.

The game challenges your ability to discern important details from generally available information. There is no luck involved: success depends entirely on your mental ability and your skill at following the evidence. Play with a group of fellow mystery buffs or take on the cases alone.

• Investigate mysteries over five days.
• Use deduction and careful attention to available information.
• Play solo or with up to six players.
• Enjoy a mystery challenge with no element of luck.

The original 1984 edition is an expansion for Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Thames Murders & Other Cases. That version requires the base game’s London map and Directory to play.

Some later editions are stand-alone supplements, providing everything needed to play without a base game. Whichever edition you have, The Queen’s Park Affair offers a focused test of deductive reasoning as you work through its interconnected-looking mysteries and seek answers to the strange events unfolding day by day.
