Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Case of the Tin Soldier

Step into fog-bound London and direct Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in a richly scripted mystery that stays faithful to the beloved board game roots. The Case of the Tin Soldier plunges you into a classic whodunit where deduction, timing, and careful note‑taking matter as much as luck.

The story begins with Scotland Yard’s Inspector Smythe informing Watson and Holmes of a murder: General Armstead, a Tontine ticket holder, is dead. The Tontine—a lottery linked to veterans of the Battle of Waterloo—adds a layer of financial and social intrigue, as only five surviving ticket holders remain in London. Armstead was about to publish a scintillating addendum to his infamous treasure book, a reveal that could upend reputations and reopen old disputes.

In this interactive FMV experience, you guide the famous Baker Street detectives through a web of suspects, clues, and conflicting testimonies. The game features more than 30 minutes of original video footage and a cast of over 20 characters—some trustworthy, others unscrupulous—each offering pieces of the puzzle.

The investigation unfolds through a rich set of in‑world resources: search the London Times for contemporary clues, peruse Holmes’ personal files for insights, and scour the London Directory for elusive connections. Throughout, Watson provides hints to keep you moving when you stall, and you can present your findings to a Queen’s magistrate to formally resolve the case.

The Case of the Tin Soldier is presented as a faithful adaptation of the original board game, designed for Windows and Mac. It combines strong storytelling with crisp deduction, inviting you to compare your conclusions against Holmes’s own final assessment. Use the built‑in investigative tools, track alibis and motives, and assemble the case file as you go.

If you relish atmospheric investigation, careful reasoning, and the chance to outpace one of literature’s greatest detectives, this case offers a compact, immersive mystery experience. Prepare your notes, follow the clues across fog-drenched streets, and decide what you reveal to the magistrate—and how your verdict stacks up against the master detective’s final conclusions.
