The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

What do I need to find in Holmes' room?

  • 1 of 7: Some evidence of what he's been up to lately. Check all the hotspots to see what you can find.
  • 2 of 7: In the back part of the room, look on the sofa to find two suitcases, one of which is open.
  • 3 of 7: Examine the other suitcase to get a close-up, then examine the handcuffs that are locking it to the sofa.
  • 4 of 7: That'll bring up the handcuffs' puzzle screen, but you won't be able to do anything with it until you find the cuffs' three-digit code and key.
  • 5 of 7: After you get the code and the key, get the handcuffs close-up view again, then pick up the key and click it on the keyhole.
  • 6 of 7: Use the little arrows next to the numbers to set them to 3, 5, and 9 in left-to-right order.
  • 7 of 7: Click on the key to open the suitcase, then examine the train ticket that's in it to get a long cut-scene.
