Where it came from
The Animals of Baker Street is a cooperative deduction game published by Iello in 2022, designed by Clément Cherblanc and Dave Neale. Drawing thematic inspiration from the literary world of Sherlock Holmes, the game reimagines the detective's investigative work through the eyes of the Baker Street Irregulars’ animal companions. It was developed to provide an accessible, family-friendly entry into the investigative genre, emphasizing charm and logic puzzles over the darker, more complex tone often found in traditional Holmesian tabletop titles.
The visual identity of the game was crafted by illustrator Sandra Delgado, whose whimsical and detailed artwork brings the animal characters to life. The design reflects a deliberate shift toward a story-driven, immersive experience that encourages collaborative play. Upon its release, it was well-received for its polished narrative structure and its ability to condense the challenging mechanics of detective deduction games into an approachable format suitable for younger players and families alike.
