Lucky Duck Games and BBC Studios Announce Sherlock Partnership
Eccentric Detective Makes the Jump to Tabletop in Officially Licensed Board Games
“Lucky Duck Games and BBC Studios have announced a partnership to create board games based on the hit Sherlock television series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. The multi-game agreement will kick off with the retail release of Sherlock: Case Connection in Q2 2022.
Sherlock: Case Connection is a competitive puzzle game of investigation and deduction that pits players against Sherlock’s foes in an effort to become the greatest detective in the world. Two to four players will visit familiar locations from the show to gather evidence and reconstruct their theory of the crime.
Lucky Duck Games is well known for its international reach, and Sherlock: Case Connection will be no exception. The game will be available in English, French, Italian, and Polish in the US, Canada, UK and EU (language availability may vary by region).
“BBC Studios is delighted to work with Lucky Duck Games to bring the Sherlock license to life through board games,” said Mandy Thwaites, Director of UK Publishing and Consumer Products. “Lucky Duck has a proven track record of publishing high-quality investigation games and we’re looking forward to seeing the Sherlock: Case Connection game at retail.”
Vincent Vergonjeanne, CEO of Lucky Duck Games, said, “With our long experience in publishing investigation games, creating board games in the Sherlock universe is a real treat for our team. Bringing together Lucky Duck’s expertise in the tabletop industry and BBC Studios’ and Hartswood’s IP has created an immense opportunity for original game design and interactive storytelling.”
Sherlock: Case Connection will be released in Q2 2022 with an MSRP of $24.99 / €24.99. Interested retailers can contact their distributors to place pre-orders.”
