Letters from Whitechapel

One Killer. Many Clues. Who Will Survive the Night?

Step into the dark, fog-laden streets of Victorian London in Letters from Whitechapel, a tense game of cat and mouse inspired by the chilling real-life mystery of Jack the Ripper.

The others play as detectives, racing against time to track his movements and bring him to justice before the murders continue.
Can you outsmart a monster — or will history repeat itself?

Set in the infamous Whitechapel district in 1888, this strategic deduction game immerses players in a gritty world of shadows, narrow alleys, and mounting dread. Jack moves secretly through 199 numbered locations, while the police coordinate their patrols, gather clues, and close in. Only careful logic, sharp teamwork, and a little luck can end the terror.
