221b Baker Street reviews

Cool game, definitely gets you thinking! Our household made a rule to take out the dice rolling aspect of the game, as this was the only aspect that made the game difficult to play as the run time would go on forever. The clues are just tricky enough, and the ‘AH HAH!’ moment is awesome when you connect two and two. This is the kind of game you can play with a weekly game night, but because there are a certain number of cases in order (some of which relate to others), you can't really play again right away if you have already seen the solution to the case. This is a great forgotten-at-the-back-of-the-cupboard game – when you bring it out again you can relive the adventures at 221B Baker street all over again!

Clever slant on your traditional cluedo type game. When getting to “rooms” there are challenging clue to figure out the who, what, why etc about a crime. If only playing with 2 people it doesn't work quite as well as with more people (like most games).

One up on cluedo, more challenging and lasts longer

75 different cases you can play, and they get harder as you play. Really abstract clues that really makes you think. Perfect with 2, can get clogged up with more players. My partner and my favourite game!

I haven't opened this as I brought it as a Christmas present but am seriously considering getting my own one as it looks so good!
