The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

How can I get the guard duty list?

  • 1 of 6: If you'll remember, the secretary said earlier that the duty list is in her locker in the cloakroom, and she's lost her key. Fortunately, you recently got a cloakroom key from the guy in the reception booth.
  • 2 of 6: Go down the "Administration" corridor until it turns left, then check the first door on the right to see that it's labeled "Cloakroom."
  • 3 of 6: Select the cloakroom key in inventory, then click on the door's hand icon to open it.
  • 4 of 6: Go inside and look along the right-side row of lockers to find one with a hand icon on it. That's the secretary's locker, but it's locked.
  • 5 of 6: Inside the secretary's locker is a fancy puzzle box. Click on it to bring up its puzzle screen.
  • 6 of 6: Examine the box after it's open to get a close-up, then click on the sheet of paper that's on the right to get the guard duty list.
