The Sherlock Files: Elementary Entries
Players collaborate as modern detectives to solve three standalone cases: a fatal heart attack aboard a commercial flight, a 1923 cold case involving a famed explorer, and a mysterious death at a family Fourth of July gathering. Players examine and decipher a pool of clues, decide which items are relevant, and share selected clues with teammates. Through discussion and deduction, the group builds and tests theories to identify causes, motives, and perpetrators for each case.

Taha Afyouni6.5 I'm not a huge fan of memory in board games, but I enjoyed this series much more than I expected. I liked the creative ending in most of the stories--this game encourages you to think outside the box.
