## Description
Get ready to don your detective hat in Beyond Baker Street! In this cooperative game, you and your team of investigators are tasked with unraveling a heinous crime. The catch? You know the suspect, the motive, and the opportunity, but proving it is another story! Each of you receives a set of clues, but the twist is you can only see your colleagues' clues, not your own. It's a true test of limited communication and memory, where every word and action counts towards piecing together the puzzle. Available actions range from assisting a colleague to investigating the crime scene, confirming evidence, eliminating false leads, or pursuing new ones. Time is of the essence, as the legendary Sherlock Holmes is also on the case! You must solve everything before he does, or the weight of the case will crush you. With a premise inspired by Sherlock Holmes, the game offers a unique deductive experience where collaboration and attention to detail are crucial for success. It's perfect for those who enjoy a good mystery and aren't afraid of a team-based reasoning challenge.
