Luckily The Project Factory's Sherlock: The Network is here to keep you amateur sleuths occupied in the meantime.

Taking cues from fellow private investigator Professor Layton, the game has you gathering data by solving puzzles on the streets of London. Solving conundrums will reveal clues, bringing you and Sherlock closer to the truth. It's elementary really.
