Who it's for

Groups of 3-5 who enjoy patient, methodical deduction. Playing as Jack is thrilling; playing as investigators rewards teamwork and logical thinking.

Not for you if…

Not for impatient players β€” the investigation is deliberately slow-burn. Skip if the Jack the Ripper theme is uncomfortable.
