The story of Sherlock Holmes Jakarta

During the annual Liberty Festival, the celebration takes a dark turn when a high-ranking official named Balthazar is found dead with a knife in his back. With four suspects in custody and a case full of conflicting alibis and hidden motives, the police turn to the world’s most famous detective for help: Sherlock Holmes. As part of Sherlock’s trusted team, you are tasked with investigating the crime, examining the suspects’ statements and uncovering the truth behind the murder.

Your mission is to piece together clues, analyze evidence and uncover inconsistencies as the story unfolds around you. Each suspect, Maggie, Dean, Jonathan and Charlotte, has something to hide, and only by carefully evaluating their alibis and motives will you discover who is responsible. Work together, think like a detective and race against other teams to reveal the killer before it is too late.
