As a die-hard fan of the Detective Conan series since its early days, I must say that 2024 has been an extraordinary year for us fans residing in the UK! The screening of Detective Conan movie 27 at our very own cinemas was long overdue and finally happening, making it a historic moment indeed. And to top it all off, the collaboration with the Sherlock Holmes Museum for the mystery word hunt event was an absolute treat that brought out the detective in me!

The Detective Conan series, known for its cherished detective protagonist, has captured hearts worldwide. Spanning over three decades, it includes an anime, over a hundred manga volumes, and video games. Remarkably, though it’s been popular not only in Japan but globally, the UK will be seeing its first Detective Conan movie on the big screen in 2024.

To mark this significant historical occasion, Japan’s beloved detective will be collaborating with Britain’s most renowned detective at the iconic Sherlock Holmes Museum in London. This unique event is being arranged as part of the publicity for the screening of “Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram“. To make it even more exciting, a challenging puzzle game inspired by the “Detective Conan” anime series has been integrated into the museum. A video about this event was shared on the official Japanese X (previously Twitter) page for the “Detective Conan” movie at the beginning of October.

A Tale of Two Detectives

Back in September, news about a unique collaboration between Detective Conan and the Sherlock Holmes Museum was shared first, through their official Instagram accounts – museum_sherlockholmes and cineasiauk. This post announced a “mystery word hunt” event to celebrate the UK theater release of Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram on September 27th. The event kicked off on September 13th.

Attending the unique Detective Conan event is part of the standard admission ticket for the Sherlock Holmes Museum, at no extra charge. Those with tickets can collect a Mystery Word Hunt card from the museum’s reception area and search for the concealed keywords scattered around the rest of the museum. The first 100 individuals who completed this task received a special Sherlock Holmes Museum prize (this promotion has ended), while all participants who finish will receive an exclusive Sherlock Holmes x Detective Conan postcard. This special postcard showcases the main characters from Detective Conan standing in front of a genuine photograph of the Sherlock Holmes museum.

The film titled “Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram” is the 27th installment in the Detective Conan series. Released on April 12th, 2024 in Japan, it remains the highest-grossing Japanese film of that year. Making its debut in the UK on September 27th, 2024, it was the first Conan movie to hit British screens. The movie has enjoyed a successful international run, earning over $41 million worldwide.

Vue Cinema succinctly summarizes the movie’s narrative as follows: “Lost samurai swords from the Edo era, an age-old enigma. The race for the treasure commences…” Since it is primarily aimed at dedicated fans of the Conan series, further elaboration might not be essential. For devotees of Conan, the cinema release in their country was a long-awaited event, and the partnership with the Sherlock Holmes Museum underscores the UK’s enthusiasm for officially welcoming Detective Conan.
