Sherlock Holmes: Silver Earring Hints

Holmes says he's not finished! What have I forgotten?

  • 1 of 6: I covered this topic in general terms in the General Gameplay Tips section.  Review the hint about Ending Each Day to see if anything listed there helps.
  • 2 of 6: Are you sure you have talked to everyone -- and about ALL of the available topics?
  • 3 of 6: Some persons need to be questioned twice.
  • 4 of 6: There were several clickable spots that seemed totally unnecessary to me, but might be important triggers.
  • 5 of 6: Read all of these hints again -- in each of the room sections.  This may help you recall something or point out an item you may have missed.  Then, if nothing else has worked and you are really desperate, keep reading more hints.
  • 6 of 6: Every item is listed in the hint below.  It contains SPOILERS, so don't read unless you must.
