A heinous crime has just been committed in the foggy streets of London, and the Kingdom needs its finest detectives. In Beyond Baker Street, you form a team assigned to the case: a suspect, a motive, and an opportunity must be proven, but each player can only see everyone else's clues, never their own. You must talk, describe, and suggest, without ever naming outright what you see, to move the shared investigation forward.

This cooperative game is built entirely on indirect communication and team memory: each turn, a detective assists a teammate, investigates a crime scene, confirms evidence, or eliminates a dead lead. The suspense builds fast, since Sherlock Holmes runs his own investigation in parallel and advances every round: your team must crack the case before he does, or the win goes to him.

With six different cases and a quick setup, this deduction game plays great again and again, each round bringing a new combination of suspects, motives, and clues to decode as a group.

Beyond Baker Street is for you if you love group investigation nights, the challenge of describing a clue without ever naming it, and the tension of racing an opponent as formidable as Sherlock Holmes himself.

This board game was in fact a finalist for the Golden Geek Best Cooperative Board Game award in 2016, a recognition that confirms the quality of its team deduction experience.

This mystery game is designed by Robin Lees and Steve Mackenzie, with artwork by Marie-Elaine Bérubé and Atha Kanaani, who bring the hushed, mysterious mood of Victorian London to life.
