Sherlock Holmes: Silver Earring Hints

How can I get Doris' earring?

  • 1 of 8: Until you know *why* you need it, you will not be able to obtain it.
  • 2 of 8: Have you explored the entire theatre?
  • 3 of 8: Other areas can be reached through the doors out of Doris' dressing room.
  • 4 of 8: In the hallway, knock on a door and talk to Richards.
  • 5 of 8: Backstage, talk to Adam Poole, a workman, and learn about a locked room.
  • 6 of 8: Inside the locked room, zoom in on the fancy box.  Try your earring on the front to learn that you need "something else".
  • 7 of 8: Since Doris is incapacitated, talk to one of her co-workers.
  • 8 of 8: Go back to the stage area and talk to Miss Carolyn (on the stage).  Show your silver earring to Carolyn.
