Hidden Object: Sherlock Holmes

About Hidden Object: Sherlock Holmes — London Crime Investigation

Hidden Object: Sherlock Holmes drops you into a fog-wrapped London rattled by a baffling disappearance. A famous professor and his students have vanished under strange circumstances: the room was locked from the inside, the footprints end abruptly on the floor, and the final diary entry reads simply, "They are already close." Stepping into the shoes of Sherlock Holmes, you must determine what truly happened — a hoax, a conspiracy, or a carefully planned murder.

One scene places you inside a dark wooden room with a fireplace, high-backed blue chairs, and gold-framed portraits of men lining the walls. Another moment shows a wooden truck parked on a pier beside a large ship in misty conditions. A third setting features floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a wooden desk covered in papers, and a patterned area rug — the kind of cluttered study where secrets hide in plain sight.

The investigation stretches from crime scenes thick with fingerprints and signs of a struggle to the dark alleys and private clubs of London, where secret societies and silent witnesses lurk. Archives hold old newspaper clippings, double-bottomed objects, and contradictory testimony. Your deduction is the only tool that can unravel this web of lies — even Inspector Lestrade was shocked by this case.
