Victorian London is preparing for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee when the Crown Jewels vanish from the Tower and the whole celebration threatens to become an international humiliation. Bob Bates makes the inspired choice to cast you as Watson, not Holmes: close enough to the great detective to hear the deductions, but still responsible for getting through the fog, asking the right questions, and understanding the riddle the thief has left behind. Baker Street, the familiar faces, the clatter of the city—they are all here, but this is not merely a Doyle costume party. It is an Infocom mystery built around the pleasure of standing beside an impossibly clever friend and discovering you may have been paying attention after all.
