The Case

Sherlock Holmes v Jack The Ripper

Late December 1888, London is gripped by fear as Jack the Ripper strikes again. In a desperate move, Sherlock Holmes has called upon you to help solve the case. Multiple women have already fallen victim, and it's up to you to piece together the clues that the police have missed.

You’ll explore the brutal nature of the crimes, examining victim profiles and the killer’s methods.

Your case file includes replications of real documents from the time, such as police reports, autopsy notes, and the chilling letters believed to be from Jack the Ripper.

As you investigate, you'll need to analyse evidence, follow leads, and identify suspects, all while navigating the foggy streets of Victorian London.

Can you and Holmes stop The Ripper?

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How do I receive my cold case file?

The moment you buy, you're given secure access to your case portal — sign in and reopen the dossier to examine, download or print every file. Choose a physical edition and a beautifully made boxed kit is also posted to your door.

How many people can play?

Play solo, or team up with a partner. Cold cases are a one or two-player investigation — ideal for date night or a quiet night in.

How long does it take?

Most cases take around 1–2 hours, and there's no timer. Work through the evidence at your own pace and pick it back up whenever you like.

Do I need to print anything?

Not at all — you can examine everything in your case portal on any device. Print the files if you'd like to spread the evidence out, or work from the posted kit with a physical edition.

What if I get stuck?

Every case includes a built-in hint system and a full solution, so you're never truly stuck.

Can I play it more than once?

Each case has one solution, so the reveal lands hardest on your first play. Many detectives pass their solved case on to a friend afterwards — it makes a great gift.

What device should I use?

For digital editions, a computer or tablet is best for examining the documents and photographs in detail. Physical editions come ready to spread out on the table.

What age is it suitable for?

Most cases suit teens and adults. A few carry mature true-crime themes — the product description flags anything stronger.
