Sherlock Holmes: Silver Earring Hints
When will we be finished here?
1 of 6: Watson will yell to Watson that someone is coming.
2 of 6: If that hasn't happened, make sure you've solved all of the puzzles (Grimsby's safe, the bridge model, the desk drawer) and "read" all documents you've either picked up or looked at.
3 of 6: In addition, you should click on every clickable spot (all wall pictures, statues, furniture, etc.) and pick up every available item. (Keep reading for the answers.)
4 of 6: In the first room up the stairs, look at 3 pictures on the left wall and look at them again inside the Journal. (Grimble and Bromsby in India, in front of Waters and Grimble, Grimble with brother).
5 of 6: You may have missed the piece of paper underneath a table in the office.
6 of 6: Look on the floor under the table that has a tiger sitting on top of it. Get and "read" it (Threat WC).
