Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How can I correctly set up the Ripper identification board?
1 of 11: Find it near the fireplace and click on it to get a close-up of it.
2 of 11: Notice that there are five suspects pictured, and space is given below each picture to put cards that describe attributes they share with your profile of Jack the Ripper.
3 of 11: The card for the Ripper's right-handed attribute has already been done for you. It seems that all five suspects are right-handed!
4 of 11: Choose another attribute card from the scrollable list on the left and decide who all it applies to.
5 of 11: You can check your case notebook if you like, but it's easier to try each card with all five suspects.
6 of 11: Click on a card to pick it up, then click it on Dr. Tumblety's photo. Click on the same card to pick it up again (you have five copies of each card), then click it on Hardiman's photo. Keep that up until the card you're doing is under every photo.
7 of 11: Check the borders of all the cards to see which ones are red. They'll need to be picked up and clicked back on the card slot you got them from, since they don't apply.
8 of 11: See below if you want to know what all cards go with each suspect. (Note that they don't have to be put in any particular order.)
