The date is March, 1889

It’s four months since the Ripper’s reign of terror, and Whitechapel’s peace is shattered by the discovery of a woman found mutilated beneath Fenchurch Street station.

The question is, has Jack returned?

In an attempt to conceal the discovery before renewed fear engulfs Whitechapel, the police convey the body to Toynbee Hall, home of the social reformer, Henrietta Barnett. There, with the help of her students, the truth must be found. Step back in time at this iconic venue, and immerse yourself in the investigation inside Toynbee’s authentic Victorian Lecture Hall.

You will examine the victim’s belongings, study police reports, interrogate witnesses and revisit the virtual reality crime scene, to discover the facts of the poor woman’s life and find her justice.
