Whitehall Mystery
October 1888: During the construction of the Metropolitan Police headquarters near Whitehall, which would later be known as Scotland Yard, the remains of a body were found. In September, a severed arm had already been discovered in the muddy shore of the River Thames.
There is another murderer roaming the streets of London in Whitehall, amusing himself by spreading the pieces of a poor woman around Whitehall, like some kind of macabre treasure hunt. The identity of this monster and his unfortunate victim are a mystery, the Whitehall Mystery.

Quick to setup, teach and play. The board layout allows the Jack player to mix up the path to the objectives and usage of the special power tiles in interesting ways. For example, starting in the quadrant separated by water puts different pressures on the investigators than starting on a quadrant with only city blocks. Wife enjoys it. Good for 2P or as a team-based family game.

Interesting one versus the rest hidden movement game. An improvement on Letters from Whitechapel I feel. Thanks Hugo!

1 play / 4 players LIKE: I liked the map element and trying to think of how to effectively use the locations. DISLIKE: Some turns there didn't seem much to be going on. A bit lighter of a game with less decisions than Fury of Dracula. OVERALL: Not bad, probably more tension playing as Jack. This is a family-level weight game.
