Victorian London. Three clues. One criminal mastermind. Can you unmask Professor Moriarty before he escapes into the fog? Gather your friends for deception & deduction!
London, 1887. The fog rolls thick over the Thames. Scotland Yard has uncovered three cryptic clues—but Professor Moriarty has infiltrated the investigation with corrupted intelligence.
Can you unmask the criminal mastermind before he vanishes into the night?
Gaslight on the Thames is a social deduction game for 3-8 players. Gather your friends with an iPhone or iPad each—no internet required. Each detective receives three secret words: a Location, Evidence, and a Suspect. But one player is Moriarty, armed with ONE genuine word and TWO deadly lies.
Share cryptic clues. Listen for contradictions. Vote to expose the criminal.
Under the gaslight, every truth casts a shadow.
