Report an issueThe faithful adaptation of the board game: Mr. Jack Pocket! The famous and thrilling 2-player cat-and-mouse game. The Pocket version tweaks the rules for shorter, more intense games.
Whitechapel, 1888. Despite the police’s best efforts, Jack is still on the loose. The famous Sherlock Holmes is tasked with ending the crime spree of this maniac. But Jack has a few tricks up his sleeves and disguised himself as one of the detectives on the crime scene! It is up to Sherlock to unmask the madman; but he must hurry, or Jack will vanish into the night…
HOW TO PLAY: Each player endorses one role: Sherlock or Jack. Sherlock's goal is to clear every other investigator until there is only one left: the one Jack is impersonating. In order to achieve this, he will need to have line of sight over his fellow detectives; each night Jack will have to tell if he is currently visible or not, allowing Sherlock to eliminate suspects. On the opposing side, Jack's goal is only to delay the investigation until dawn, when he can escape. Each night, both players will be able to reshape the board in order to shed a dim light on the streets of the city, or to remain hidden in the shadows...
CHALLENGE YOUR DEDUCTION SKILLS IN SOLO OR MULTIPLAYER: Play against an adjustable AI to sharpen your mind or test your cunning against players from all around the world!
To sum up, the game features: • The universe of Whitechapel inspired from the original board game, digitally modernized • A tactical gameplay for tensed games • A solo offline mode and an online mode

8 of 15I’ve never played he game before. This tutorial does not even explain the basic of the game — like which characters are portrayed by which icons and what makes something “visible” versus not.
Great game, but app crashes every time i play it.
Cannot play online duel. They game crashes and kicks us both out of the game.
After purchasing Mr Jack Pocket, have tried to use the Duel mode several times. Always get the above error. The login to Asmodee is correct because it works for Ticket to Ride. Because I can’t get logged in, the Mr Jack app is useless to me. Have tried contacting Asmodee on several occasions with no response.
This is a good game but it now freezes frequently using the current version of iOS.
Needs update. Crashes daily in mid game. Otherwise it’s a great hard game to play. Please update.
A fun game, and I can win about half the time on easy. But two issues: When the computer plays the wild card token (move anyone) about half the time it moves no one but expends the token anyway. This is not allowed, as far as I know, and can mess up my strategy. A bug. A cancel button would also be nice when you touch the wrong icon. Thanks
A great deduction puzzle, and perfect for a 5-6 minute game. I’ve played this to death, and I’ve seen my skill with it grow steadily - I thought it was simply impossible at first, but then I learned to anticipate the AI’s moves and plan ahead for subsequent rounds. The interface is a little glitchy on my iPad (and the game is simply too small to be enjoyable on my phone), but I’ll forgive the clunkiness because I enjoy the game so much. I’ve logged over 1,200 plays in “Medium” difficulty, with (according to the app) a 70% win rate, and I still rate this as my “go to” game for a quick break.
