About the Sherlock Holmes Memory Game
Conan Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes stories are in the public domain, so we're free to celebrate the great detective properly. Deerstalkers, magnifying glasses, dossiers and the fog of Victorian London await.
Fun Facts About Sherlock Holmes
- Conan Doyle wrote 60 Holmes stories between 1887 and 1927.
- Holmes never actually says "Elementary, my dear Watson" in any of the original books.
- 221B Baker Street didn't exist when the stories were published — the Royal Mail later assigned the address.
- Holmes is officially the most-portrayed fictional human character in film and TV.
How to Play
Tap any card to flip it over, revealing the sherlock clue image underneath. Tap a second card — if the two match, they stay face up and you keep going. If not, they flip back after a moment. Your goal is to match every pair in as few moves as possible.
Three difficulty levels are available: easy (6 pairs), medium (8 pairs) and hard (12 pairs). Start on easy if you're new, or jump straight to hard for a proper brain workout.
