3.8/5 (140 votes)

The owner of the local Tea Shop has been murdered, and it is up to the world's greatest detective to crack the point-and-click adventure case in Sherlock Holmes: The Tea Shop Murder Mystery. Its a work that's designed to appeal more to fans of Carmel Games' other works rather than the Conan Doyle, as it were. But with that in mind, there's quite a bit of fun to be had: the acting is campy, the puzzles are goofy, the humor is silly.

Here you go, Paul:

Walkthrough

Tea shop

  • In the back room (the murder scene), get the insurance policy from one of the cabinet doors on the right.

  • Go out the front door (on the left) to the map.

Main Street

Talk to the paper boy. Get the newspaper. Go right to go back to the map.

McTavish Insurance agency

  • Talk to the lady. Give her the feather duster. Keep talking to her until she gives you a crab.

  • Talk to the man. Give the man the newspaper so that he gives you a voucher to the inn. Go right to the map.

Wellington Inn

  • (Optional) Talk to the maid.

  • Talk to Mr. Chang. Use the sugar cube on the mousehole. When the cockroach is dead, talk to Mr. Chang again. Get the record.

  • Click the door to go back to the map.

Tea shop, take 2

  • Go to the back room and put the record on the gramophone.

  • When the false window breaks, use the crab to cut the chains, then use the key to open the door.

  • Go into the secret room. Look at the book on the table, and the picture of the man on the wall.

I can't seem to get the game's page to load. Tried Chrome and Firefox. Other games work fine, but this one just loads the top portion down to the first banner ad and stops.

Same for me

Yeah, it's busted. It's posted elsewhere, at Kongregate and a few other sites, though (no link as I don't want to get flagged as spam!)

Thank you

I played this back when they first released this not too long ago. The only problem is...

Once you examine the things in the locked secret room in the tea house, you are sent into the big scene where you accuse who the murderer is. I wanted to re-examine everything and figure out who the murderer is.

As it is, there doesn't seem to be a penalty for accusing the wrong person.

Sorry for the bug. It's fixed now.

I haven't even had a chance to play it yet, nevermind writing a walkthrough. :(

Cute game. One problem with the walkthrough I'd like to point out..

Mr. T did not commit suicide. He was trying to commit insurance fraud when he accidently killed himself.
