Enjoy an original setting in which animals lead investigations! In this narrative game, play as four different animals, just as clever as they are witty, who encounter mysterious situations. Meet characters, gain objects, collect information, and piece them together to unravel the mystery! The Animals of Baker Street is a thrilling investigative game for the entire family with a unique setting, enhanced by the talented pen of famous youth author, Clémentine Beauvais, and Sherlock games specialist Dave Neale.

In the game, you collectively choose the places to visit to meet and interact with the quirky animal characters of Baker Street. Decide if you want one of your detectives to use their particular abilities to collect valuable information and discover new clues. But as you visit more places time is ticking by, so choose your path wisely.

Try to solve the case within the given time to win!

How to play:

Choose an available location (without a padlock) on the board to move to and to try to solve the case. You can revisit a location you have already visited, and you will certainly need to do so to solve some cases. Remove 1 Time token from the Clock card and place it on the location you want to visit. Move the Investigators figurine to the chosen location and take the corresponding Location card, if you haven’t done so yet, flip it over and read the text out loud. Now decide if you want to use Character, Item, or Information cards at that location. To use one of the Character cards, flip it over. If you must discard a card, put it back in the box, you will not use it for the rest of the game. If you draw a new Location card with the same name as a location you already have a card for, discard the old card. When you finish using cards at a location:

If there are still Time tokens on the Clock card, go back to Step 1 on the last page.
If there are no more Time tokens on the Clock card, remove the Investigators figurine from the board, then read the Event card placed near the Clock card.

Solve the case to win the game!
