Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How can I get into the house's upstairs room?
1 of 12: The upstairs door can't be opened, so look for another way in.
2 of 12: Go outside and around to the backyard area where you got the tarpaulin piece earlier.
3 of 12: Examine that side of the house to find a boarded-over broken window.
4 of 12: Move up to where you can click the magnifying glass on the window to get Holmes to note that you could remove a board from the window and get in, once you got up there.
5 of 12: Look around for things you could move under the window to help you climb up to it.
6 of 12: There's a trolley with barrels on it nearby. Maybe it could help.
7 of 12: Go over next to the trolley and look up to find that you now have a hand cursor halfway up the wall. Click there to get Holmes to say that you need something.
8 of 12: Something to use as a ladder to climb the rest of the way up, that is. Too bad the ladder you made earlier in the game isn't available.
