From the "How to Play" page:
Quote:
You have the choice to play this adventure game with a friend, one playing the role of Sherlock Holmes and one as Dr Watson or you can play the game alone by undertaking the role of both characters.


Is that not working?

I'm all set with my partner, now, but... can anyone get it to start? Do we really have to wait some more?

Anybody that has completed the registration might give me answers:

Why do I only see some of my facebook friends and not all?
(I am exactly missing the person in the list I would prefer as a partner)
How to be sure, this partner wants to play at all?
What happens if I add a partner and continue?
If I start playing on my own, can I add a partner later?

I do not want to make something "wrong" now Wink

BTW. I am a Holmes.

If you mess it up, you can click the "Reset Your Game" link, logout, and try again. My Watson and I had to work at it a few times before we got it to work. If you invite someone and they mess it up, it will list it as "Rejected" -- you can just reinvite them to try again.

Not sure why some people would be missing from the list - could be they have their privacy settings set up so high that the game can't "see" them?

ETA: I think if the person you invite signs up on their own (rather than taking your invitation), it will automatically reject your invitation. The solution to that seems to be that one of you needs to reset and logout, then follow the link in the Facebook invite.

Hope that helps!

I got the "play alone" to work. When it tells you if you are a holmes or a watson, at the very bottom in blue font, it lets you change to the other. When you are supposed to pick one of your facebook friends, at the very bottom it gives you the choice to play alone.

If you can't see those options, then you might need to make your browser bigger.

if you choose to go it alone, it lets you add a player later. Which you click on that, it says Are You Sure You Want to Change to the Two Player Version?

Yeah, tried switching to solo, but stuck on the holmes/watson page. Even in single, it still asks you to invite someone, and if you click to do it, it asks if you want to switch to two player mode.

So, how do you actually start the single player experience?

Ok, finally got accepted ancalime's invite to partner up. and restarted my game as suggested above. Now I'm on the page with pics of sherlock and watson. No idea where to go from here.

I'm sitting there, too. We're probably missing some vital piece of information.
Can you recognize the tailor of Watson, or the hairdresser for Holmes? Surely our deductive reasoning can tell us where to go from here.

As Watson I did get a short clip of somebody (Lestrade?) suggesting I brush up on my forensics.
