It is the 1920s, and in a sleepy Sussex village, beekeeper and former world's greatest detective Sherlock Holmes is trying to arrange a pleasant clifftop picnic for his lifelong companion Dr Watson. The only problem is that a series of mysteries keep getting in the way!



Explore a seaside town It’s the day of the village fete, a suspicious new neighbour has taken a lease on a long-abandoned cottage and something strange is happening down on the beach…
Interrogate and befriend a fully professionally voice-acted cast of eccentric characters including a clown with a tragic past, a budding young naturalist, a wannabe showman and a prickly police officer.
Make deductions and decisions. Puzzles have multiple solutions, some of which may please your neighbours more than others. What path will you choose? Who will you enlist to help you?
Phone for help of you get stuck! Your older brother Mycroft is always ready to act as your consultant, just give him a call at his club if you need a hint.
