Jack the Ripper Hints
How do I use the maps at Pinkerten?
1 of 7: Miss Robinson gave you the key to the map drawer; it's under the luminous board where you were comparing signatures before.
2 of 7: Take the maps, then zoom in on the luminous board.
3 of 7: Go into your inventory and take the map with tacks from your case file (it's labeled "New York Map").
4 of 7: Now put another map on top of it. Your choices are sewers, subway, and electrical maps.
5 of 7: You have a clue about which one should fit if you figured out Jason's "silence" clue.
6 of 7: Move whichever map you picked until it matches up with the first map.
7 of 7: When you have the right map in the right position, you'll hear the familiar music. Leave this scene and tell Miss Robinson about it to get a new location on your traveling map: tonight's crime scene.
