Vibe's take
Methodical, tense, atmospheric, deductive
Who it's for
Groups of 3-5 who enjoy patient, methodical deduction. Playing as Jack is thrilling; playing as investigators rewards teamwork and logical thinking.
Not for you if…
Not for impatient players — the investigation is deliberately slow-burn. Skip if the Jack the Ripper theme is uncomfortable.
