In BBC’s Sherlock, what is the name of the episode featuring the case of the Great Game?

In BBC’s Sherlock, the episode featuring the case called the Great Game is titled “The Great Game.”

“The Great Game” is the third and final episode of Sherlock’s first series. Sherlock is challenged by a sequence of apparently unrelated mysteries, each connected to a countdown and a hostage whose life depends on solving the case.

The episode introduces Jim Moriarty as the criminal force behind the escalating tests. Sherlock’s investigation moves through locations including London streets, a swimming pool and a planetarium-like setting, while John Watson is repeatedly drawn into the danger.

The title refers both to the structure of Moriarty’s challenge and to the broader intellectual contest between Sherlock and his enemy. It is distinct from “The Blind Banker,” which is the second episode of series one, and “The Empty Hearse,” which opens series three.
