In Sherlock Junior: Suriguri, you and up to seven other players work together as a detective team to solve the mysterious disappearance of a suricata at the zoo. Players reveal clues one by one, discuss theories, and try to piece together the truth. Communication is limited and hand management is crucial. At the end, the team answers questions about the case to score points.
Who Is This Game For?
This game is suitable for families and casual players aged 8 and up who enjoy cooperative deduction games. With a playtime of about 60 minutes, it fits well into a game evening. Prior experience with cooperative games is helpful but not required due to straightforward rules.
How It Works
Each turn, a player can either play a clue card face up for all to see and read aloud the highlighted information or discard a card face down without comment. Some clues are vital, others misleading and cost points. Communication is restricted to certain text parts. After all clues are revealed or discarded, the team discusses and answers questions together to earn points.
