## What is Gaslight on the Thames?

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.

UNIQUE ROLES, HIDDEN AGENDAS
  • DETECTIVE – Trust your fellow investigators and find the truth
  • PROFESSOR MORIARTY – Blend in with false intelligence and escape capture
  • SHERLOCK HOLMES – You know everything... but can you guide the investigation without revealing yourself?
  • DR. WATSON – You know Moriarty's one genuine word. Use it wisely.
  • IRENE ADLER – Your mission: get yourself eliminated. If you succeed, everyone loses.

Each role changes the game. Every player has secrets.
