In the footsteps of The Ripper... evil stalks!
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 a local Hall, home of the social reformer, Henrietta Barnett. There, with the help of her students, the truth must be found. Step back in time, 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.
Torchlight Mysteries launch a 2 hour thrilling immersive performance where you will be in the heart of the action - seated in the magnificent Toynbee Hall. You will work with others to solve the mystery - do you think Jack has returned? If not, who is the murderer?
With live action and case notes for you to examine, this will create a truly immersive mix.
New performance dates will be released very soon. Sign up to our Newsletter below to be informed as soon as we release dates.

From the Casebook: Sherlock Holmes and Festival of Christmas
As part of the Festival of Christmas in 2017, Sherlock Holmes recruited Irregulars on the streets of the Dockyard with a little help from Torchlight Mysteries. Six suspects were responsible for stealing one of the Orders of Chivalry and it was the ‘Irregulars’ responsibility to find out what happened. Luckily Holmes and Watson were on hand to point out where everyone was going wrong. Hundreds of people signed up and played during the three day Christmas Festival.
The site-wide immersive mystery was commissioned by the Dockyard to encourage people to explore the entire site. Live action actors and online tools allowed players to get into the heart of the action, searching the stalls and markets for our suspects. Once they collected all the information and made their conclusions they could find Holmes and Watson to confirm their deductions. Feedback was excellent with many parents saying it was the entire focus of their visit while their children dragged them around the site looking for suspects. All the suspects agreed the children were asking by far the hardest questions!
