The original game is marketed as the "Classic Detective Game", and the various spinoffs are all distinguished by different slogans. With the launch of the US 1972 edition, a television commercial showed Holmes and Watson engaged in a particularly competitive game.

The artwork for the previous US editions tended to reflect the current popular style at the time they were released.
