Jack the Ripper Hints

Yes, but exactly how do I do it?

  • Place your letter (labeled "Jack the Ripper Letter 1") on the light table, then put the authentic letter (labeled "London Ripper Letter") on top of it.

    Drag your letter around till the word "Dear" matches exactly.

    When you get it right, you'll automatically switch to the second page of the authentic letter.

    Now match the signature -- "Jack the Ripper."

    When it's done right, a few dramatic chords will play and you'll have the option to leave the scene.
