Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: Jack the Ripper & West End Adventures is a standalone detective board game that immerses players in the eerie atmosphere of Victorian London. This expanded edition of the acclaimed Consulting Detective series includes ten new cases — four of which form a connected campaign centered around the infamous Jack the Ripper murders, while the remaining six are standalone mysteries known as the West End Adventures.

In the game, you take on the role of members of the Baker Street Irregulars, trusted assistants of the legendary Sherlock Holmes. Using detailed maps of London and Whitechapel, newspapers, a directory, and case booklets, you investigate murders, disappearances, and other mysteries. A unique feature of this edition is that the four connected cases are based on real historical events — the Jack the Ripper murders — adding an extra layer of tension and authenticity to the experience.

Players work together to follow leads and solve the cases. The game has no traditional board; instead, you use physical maps, newspapers, a directory, and case files. You choose freely which leads to pursue, with no predetermined path. At the end of each case, you compare your answers to Holmes’s solution — the fewer locations you visited, the better your score. The Jack the Ripper campaign offers a four-part narrative that follows real events while allowing for your own interpretation and investigation within the game.

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: Jack the Ripper & West End Adventures is a thematically rich and intellectually demanding detective game that transports you into a chilling and realistic Victorian past. 🕯️
