Sherlock Holmes: Silver Earring Hints

  • Don't worry about making mistakes while talking to other characters!

    ALWAYS ask about every new topic (new topics are bright white, while older topics are faded).

    Go back and talk to them again after you have discovered something new.

    HOW TO ASK ABOUT AN INVENTORY OBJECT:
    You can ask anyone about any object, but it doesn't always get a new response.  (I will tell you in these hints when this is important.)

    - Click on the object from inventory and move it to the play screen.
    - Hover it over the person until you get a square with their picture in it.  Left Click.

    Note: When showing an object is important, Holmes will say "I should reveal one of my hints."  At that point, try an inventory object on the person you just finished questioning.
