The streets are dangerous. Fear spreads with every body found. In 4 Penny Coffins, one player takes on the role of the Ripper - a demonic murderer with the urge to kill - while others work to uncover the truth before the next murder.
A new take on the typical social deception genre!
Gather evidence from crime scenes, question suspects, track suspicious behavior, and piece together clues. The Ripper must deceive and redirect suspicion while avoiding detection. Investigators must separate fact from fiction before paranoia tears the group apart.
Trust is fragile. Evidence can be faked. And time is not on your side.
Each night follows a deliberate three-phase cycle.
The Ripper hunts. Players investigate. Then, in a formal and organized Conviction phase, evidence is weighed and a verdict is delivered. No endless shouting. No stalled discussions. Every round reaches a resolution.
With dynamic roles and player-driven outcomes, every session unfolds differently. Playable solo or in multiplayer, 4 Penny Coffins blends social deduction with investigative mechanics to create tense, unpredictable matches where trust is earned slowly and lost instantly. Someone will hang for these crimes. Make sure it isn’t you.
