Whitechapel Jack the Ripper Mystery Adventure

Rip yourself a place in the history of crime-solving as the one who solved history’s most baffling and gruesome case. Point your feet back in time to visit the crime scenes, following clues & directions sent to your phone. Learn about London’s East End in the 1880s, hear the victims’ stories and make your own choices of the likeliest suspects, until, finally, your suspicions will lead you to uncover Jack’s identity.
This 2+ hour journey through crime is an adventure, not a race. There are endless opportunities to step off the trail for breaks & refreshments or to explore places of interest or intrigue at your leisure. The route is chosen for its relative quiet and historical interest. Our directions are playfully disguised but not hard to follow. Our clues are artfully contrived but always staring you in the face. All you need is your phone & some guts.

* Starts: Whitechapel Tube
* Ends: Spitalfields
