A gas-lit Victorian study where a case is still open — a violin on the shelf, a pin-board of clues, towering bookcases, and a hidden chamber waiting to be found. You build the whole detective's world by hand.
The idea behind it
Step into a Victorian mystery
Two warmly-lit floors of a 19th-century detective's quarters — leather books, brass instruments, a gothic rose window and a violin resting after a long night of thinking. It's the opening scene of a mystery, frozen on your shelf.
Two floors of detail
A study that hums with stories
A spiral of bookshelves, a violin, mounted butterfly cases, a carved balcony and a writing desk strewn with papers — two full floors connected by warm lamplight, packed with the little props that make it feel lived-in.
The best-kept secret
A door to a hidden chamber
Slide open a concealed panel and a secret chamber reveals itself — a curtained alcove with a cross and a violin behind the wall. The kind of clever, interactive detail guests can't resist trying.
On the case
A detective, mid-investigation
The coated, deerstalker-capped detective stands by a pin-board of maps, photos and red string, a typewriter at his elbow and a gothic rose window overhead. Every clue is in place.
