Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints

How can I sneak out of the club when I'm ready to go?

  • 1 of 13: Return to the hallway, then go through the door that leads to the room with the cellar stairs.
  • 2 of 13: Return to the cellar, then click on the window you came in through earlier.
  • 3 of 13: You'll find that someone has put the barrel back in the way! Another means of exit must be found.
  • 4 of 13: Go back up the stairs and look around for interactive items.
  • 5 of 13: The window's no good. Try the ceiling.
  • 6 of 13: You can't escape through the ceiling, but notice the dangling wires. If you click on them, Holmes will say he needs something.
  • 7 of 13: What you're going to do is rig up a noisy distraction and sneak out through the front door while the guard is busy investigating the noise.
  • 8 of 13: Look around to see what all takeable items you can find.
  • 9 of 13: Once you've got everything, start experimenting to see what you can do.
  • 10 of 13: If you try combining items in inventory, you'll see that you can combine the bucket with the tin cans. Of what use could that possibly be?
  • 11 of 13: It would be a great noisemaker, but you want to make sure that the guard doesn't see you when he investigates the noise.
  • 12 of 13: After everything is rigged and ready to go, use the book of matches to light the candle.
  • 13 of 13: Quickly return to the hallway and enter the administration office. The guard will investigate the noise, and Holmes will make his getaway.
