The game is afoot. Baker Street, Moriarty, Watson, and sixty stories of deduction. Think you know Sherlock Holmes?
Ten questions on Arthur Conan Doyle's greatest creation. From the fog of Baker Street to the Falls of Reichenbach — this quiz tests the canon, not the adaptations.
Sherlock Holmes first appeared in "A Study in Scarlet," published in 1887. Arthur Conan Doyle went on to write four novels and 56 short stories featuring the detective and his companion Dr John Watson. The character became one of the most recognised fictional figures in the world, inspiring more film and television adaptations than any other literary creation.
This quiz focuses on the original Conan Doyle canon: characters, locations, key cases and the kind of detail that defines a genuine reader from someone who just watched the TV version. How sharp is your eye?
