THE ANIMALS OF BAKER STREET
The mystery has a new scent
Sherlock Holmes is the world's greatest detective, but even he can't be everywhere at once. When criminals lurk in the shadows or escape across rooftops, it's up to a very special team to spring into action to gather the clues humans ignore.
It's a detective board game that turns deduction into a delightful cooperative adventure. You'll take on the roles (or rather, the fur and feathers) of the neighborhood gang: the faithful dog Toby, the lemon frog, the acrobatic tarantula, and the observant sparrow, each ready to uncover London's secrets.
The true magic of this game lies in how each animal perceives the world differently. A scent that's irrelevant to the sparrow could be the key to the dog's success, creating a group dynamic where each player feels indispensable to solving the case.
It's the game for those who love well-written stories and are looking for an accessible but never banal deductive experience, perfect for bringing different generations together around a table.

London is calling
THE SHADOW OF CRIME
Every clue counts, every species is needed
In the heart of a city that never sleeps, collaboration is your sharpest weapon. It's not just about moving pieces on a map, but actively discussing every theory, comparing what the tarantula sees with what the dog smells to reconstruct a fragmented crime scene.
Risk is always lurking: misinterpreting a clue or sending the wrong animal on an exploration can cost you precious time. The tension slowly builds as the pieces of the puzzle begin to fit together, providing the intellectual satisfaction typical of great mystery classics.
Solving the case means having intertwined your minds into a single deductive entity. It's an experience that rewards mutual listening and the ability to think outside the box, immersing you in a narrative written with elegance and irony.
