Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints

Where should I put the symbols?

  • 1 of 4: The leftmost symbol is for Annie Chapman, who was murdered at 29 Hanbury Street.
  • 2 of 4: Click on her symbol to pick it up, then click on the "29 Hanbury Street" marker (near the top of the map) to place it.
  • 3 of 4: The next symbol is for Elizabeth Stride. She was killed in Dutfield's Yard, so put her symbol on the Dutfield's Yard marker, which is a short way NW of the symbol row.
  • 4 of 4: Mary-Ann Nichols (a.k.a. Polly Nichols) was killed on Buck's Row, Katherine Eddowes was killed in Mitre Square, and the graffito was found on Goulston Street, so get those symbols put in those places.
