The Sherlock Files: Vol III – Puzzling Plots

About this board game

The Sherlock Files: Vol III – Puzzling Plots is a cooperative detective game for 1–8 players, with three cases to solve in around 60 minutes.

Put your investigative skills to the test as you tackle three new mysteries. Each case presents a confounding plot filled with clues, leaving you to determine which details matter and which can be set aside.

• Track down a man who vanished during his shift at a cemetery.
• Pursue the truth behind what happened to a fabulously rich butler.
• Hunt down the person behind the wheel of a suspicious hit-and-run.

To make progress, decipher the clues and decide which information is relevant to the case. Share your findings with your detective partners, discuss the possibilities, and choose which theories deserve further attention.

Every decision can shape your investigation as you work together to uncover what happened. The challenge is not simply finding clues, but understanding how they fit into the mystery and identifying the leads worth pursuing.

How will your team fare compared with the world’s greatest detective? Solve each case in Puzzling Plots and find out. Released in 2020, this installment offers three standalone mysteries for solo investigators or groups of up to eight players.
