I do not like timed puzzles. I liked the different puzzles in the game, but when the timed bomb puzzle came up near the end of the game, I quit the game. If I read in a review that it contains timed puzzles, then I don't purchase it. I haven't purchased another Sherlock Holmes because of my experience with "TMOTM".

Hi Bohiker -- welcome! The Sherlock Holmes game that came after The Mystery of the Mummy (called Silver Earring) also had timed sequences. But the latest Sherlock Holmes (The Awakened) is supposed to contain no timed sequences.
