Read Zatu Games Reviews

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Thames Murders allows players to slip into the shoes of the infamous Baker Street detective, Sherlock Holmes! Walk the streets of London as you hunt for the dangerous Moriarty, hunt for the giant rat of Sumatra or simply take on a murder case that has a rather big twist!

This game allows players to relish in the excitement and mystery that Sherlock Holmes endures during his mystery-solving escapades. So, don your Deerstalker, don’t forget your pipe, and head out onto the streets of London and utilise your deductive abilities to hunt down your opponents!

In Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Thames Murders, the players are presented with a mystery that needs solving and it is up to you to piece together the evidence presented to them and evidence that is gathered from locations across London. You will have the opportunity to interview suspects and search newspapers for clues, all while trying to piece the facts together to find out who or what was responsible for the crime.

There are numerous cases included with Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective so there is plenty for you to get your detective teeth sunk into. Two lions have been murdered in Hyde Park. Who did it and why? Who is responsible for the paintings going missing from the National Gallery? This is just a flavour of what to expect from the cases in this game!

The key thing to remember is this is not a board game! There are no dice. There is no luck or chance! This game is designed to test your mental and deductive capabilities, solving crimes that may be fictional but once you are absorbed, feel very real indeed!

This game, through its development, has been a result of extensive research into Holmesian and Victorian history, ensuring an accurate end product was created!

An incredible take on the murder mystery board game genre. Take on the role of sharklock Holme's new team of investigators as you use clues, witnesses and directories to track down the killer. With many layers to the game, there are some amazing Eureka moments to be had with this game. Combine that with some great Sherlock Holmes references, and you have the perfect game for game night.

Brilliant, engaging, in-depth, clever game! I love murder mysteries and I am very detail orientated so this is a perfect game for me. The fact it includes newspapers, a map and the directory are all fun extras that help make solving the cases interesting. The fun is definitely in playing the game - not necessarily in beating Sherlock! Looking forward to getting through all of the cases!

Amazing game. It a quite an original board game. Although it is quite old, in my opinion, it remains the best in the detective genre. It was a great gaming experience. If you like detectives, I advise you to pay attention to the game.

A great murder mystery game, simple to learn and play but hard to master. Must use the complete multitude of information infront of you in a choose your own adventure (or lead game). Please note the case isn't repayable, and it took us a case to learn the ins and outs of what information we can use and how the scoring works. As gar as im aware no pratice case. Can't wait for case 2
