You’re suddenly Detective Sherlock Holmes scuffling through the streets of London. You’re searching for clues to save the English nation from its arch-enemy. You’ve found a clue; you agonizingly solve it only to find another one. You face a deadlock. How do you defeat England’s nemesis? You simply ask for a hint; thank god this is reality. You’re actually in your home city with your friends enjoying a night of exciting adventure, experiencing one adrenaline rush after the other.
