Experience Overview:

Jack The Ripper Murder Trail (self-guided 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.

Jack the Ripper Trail Game really delivered!

Really interesting and surprising experience, it kept me hooked all the way to the end. I have done the Holy Grail game, and will be doing the others as well, they are a great way of rediscovering London!

Top day out in central London for a snip

We followed up on previous experience with the City walk and did Jack the Ripper. It was excellent: packed with fascinating information, beyond the gruesome and sensational, about the period and the area. Keeps a light touch but the story is compelling to say the least. It ended up quiet an affecting and thought-provoking experience and I think we got a lot more out of it than the guided tours we saw bustling around us. Top day out in central London for a snip
