Dumb Sherlock: The Hot Dogs of the Bakerville is a 2D point-and-click comedy adventure. Think Monkey Island meets The Simpsons!

KEY FEATURES

SOLVE AN ORIGINAL WHODUNNIT MYSTERY

Step into the oversized Velcro shoes of Dumb Sherlock and save your beloved hometown from an outbreak of mysterious hot dog poisonings…before it's too late! 

Alongside your loyal partner and best buddy Watson, you must explore the town, inspect scenes, interrogate townsfolk, and collect puzzles and minigames to solve a branching narrative mystery where every decision you make determines how DUMB you are—and whether you’ll fulfill your destiny as the next great Holmes family detective, or go down in infamy as the world’s dumbest amateur dick.

BEAT COZY PUZZLES & MINIGAMES

To solve the mystery at the heart of Dumb Sherlock: The Hot Dogs of the Bakerville, you’ll have to explore and inspect dozens of unique locations across town and collect Adventure Books along the way by beating an imaginative cornucopia of original puzzles and minigames.

The more you inspect and interrogate, the more Inspection Points you earn, allowing you to advance through scenes and reach standalone puzzles and minigames that unlock new story locations and spur your investigation forward.

REPUTATION LEVEL

YOU decide how dumb to make your Dumb Sherlock by earning Reputation Points and avoiding costly professional embarrassments known as Blunders.

The lower your Reputation Level, the more you’ll get roasted and ridiculed by fellow townspeople, social media trolls, and international press and paparazzi and the harder it'll be to solve the high-stakes hot dog mystery and live up to the Holmes family legacy! 

Three different Reputation Levels rising from Dumbest Sherlock to Dumb Sherlock to Dumbish Sherlock offer three distinct, highly replayable experiences of the game and three possible endings to the story. Dumb Sherlock’s reputation is in YOUR hands, and your choices determine how your grand slapstick adventure unfolds—with dialogues, popups, animated cut-scenes and multiple other worldbuilding elements changing dynamically by Reputation Level. 

Oh yeah, and Reputation Points also unlock SICK character customizations like over 50 different UNDERPANTS in Dumb Sherlock’s office closet!

HANDCRAFTED OLD-SCHOOL FUN

Dumb Sherlock: The Hot Dogs of the Bakerville is lovingly handcrafted by two old friends and comedy partners who wanted to adapt their unmade TV sitcom Dumb Sherlock into an old-school 2D point-and-click adventure…so we did!

Charmingly original hand-drawn art and fully voiced animated cutscenes bring Dumb Sherlock to vibrant, quirky life in a richly imagined gameworld filled with huge laughs, pure fun and propulsive mystery behind every click!
