The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

Once inside, how can I enter the judge's office?

  • 1 of 7: Go through the door in the kitchen to enter the classroom, then go to the back of it to find some doors you can open.
  • 2 of 7: Directly past them are the doors to the judge's office. However, when you try to open them, you'll find they're locked.
  • 3 of 7: Holmes mentions that the judge probably left a spare key with someone he trusts, so look around for one.
  • 4 of 7: The "someone he trusts" is undoubtedly his wife, who you know runs the classroom, so check the teacher's desk.
  • 5 of 7: Click on the box that's on the teacher's desk to bring up its puzzle screen, and to hear a sound that strongly indicates that a key may be inside it.
  • 6 of 7: After the box opens, take the key that's inside it, then select it in inventory.
  • 7 of 7: Go click on the locked office doors again to open them, then walk inside to get a brief cut-scene.
