From Kickstarter ...

This game was unveiled as a rough, handmade prototype at 2016 Comic-Con. At that point we only had cover art to get people excited, and a Kickstarter launch scheduled for four months away. Lucy Keifer created the game, Emily Keifer created the art, and the whole family created the created the buzz and the product. Together, they are Keifer Art

The Kickstarter went live on September 1, 2016. With the help of Sherlock Homes and board game fans, we raised 25 thousand dollars: more than enough to manufacture our first run. We are very excited to announce our first Japanese and Chinese printing, available in Southeast Asia.
