The game is afoot! A compendium of intriguing puzzles and quizzes to test your knowledge of the cases which so fascinated the world when reported by Watson in the pages of the Strand Magazine and elsewhere.

Holmes was a secretive man, but he did let slip a few details of his private life, which you may remember. He distrusted women, but you will need to know something of the few he did admire. There are questions about his many adversaries and the cases that he solved - also the very few that defeated him.

There are crossword puzzles based on Watson's reports of Holmes's cases, laced with a few cryptic clues. Puzzle grids lead you through the foggy streets of Holmes's London and out into the countryside, hot on the trail of the master detective and his sidekick. Anagrams further test your ingenuity and there is a maze to trap the unwary.

Finally, there is a quiz to test your knowledge of Holmes's creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
