How to Play

Without shuffling them, take the 22 Sherlock cards and make a pile, Puzzle side up.

Place the Laws card on the table.

Draw and read the 2 first cards and set them down in front of you, Object sides up.

Scan the card on top of the pile. It features 4 pieces of information: (The printed rules say "4 pieces of information" but list five items; the list is transcribed in full as printed.)

  1. The card number.
  2. The workshop: it indicates on what space you should solve the puzzle. In this example, you should use the space of two cards put next to each other to solve it.
  3. The objects list: it indicates the objects you need to use to solve the puzzle.
  4. The puzzle: it indicates the laws you need to follow to solve your puzzle. You must use the Laws card to help you understand them.
  5. The story.

Once you think you have the solution, flip the card over. You will discover 2 to 3 pieces of information depending on the cards:

  1. The solution allows you to check if your puzzle is correctly done. You can only move on to the next card if you get the same result as the solution.
  2. The new object will be useful for you to complete the following puzzle(s).
  3. The object(s) to remove: on some cards, you will be asked to remove the indicated object(s). Removed objects will no longer be used for subsequent puzzles.
