Letters from Whitechapel
Track Jack the Ripper through the fog of Victorian London
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 — the investigation is deliberately slow-burn. Skip if the Jack the Ripper theme is uncomfortable.
Vibe's take
Methodical, tense, atmospheric, deductive
About this game
One-vs-many deduction game set in Victorian London. Jack the Ripper moves secretly through Whitechapel's streets while investigators coordinate to narrow his location. The Ripper must return to his hideout after each murder while detectives use clue tokens and patrol routes to tighten the net.
