You have just received an exclusive invitation to The Scarlet Study, a members-only club dedicated to the celebration of the world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes. Yet, not all is as it seems. When you arrive and hand your overcoat to Doyle, the doorman, he hands you a shoebox in return, stating that someone left it for you. You open it, expecting a welcome gift of some sort. What you are greeted with instead, is a severed foot with a note attached to it that says, “The Game.” On the back of the note is a series of GPS coordinates. Horrified, Doyle apologizes profusely for the contents of the box and swears he has no idea who left it for you. You believe him and input the coordinates into your phone to see where this gruesome keepsake leads. The game, in this case, is literally a foot and will lead you on an investigation that includes details from some of Sherlock Holmes’ most memorable cases. Can you solve The Sherlock Conundrum?
