Bow Street Runner
Categories: Adventure, Flash, Free, Games, Online, Point'n'click
Bow Street Runner is a new game designed by LittleLoud for Channel 4, which leads the player into the murky world of Georgian London to solve mysterious crimes.
Bow Street Runner is set in London’s Covent Garden in the 1750s, and depicts a time when crime and vice in the city had hit such levels that the locals magistrates began to introduce the first instances of physical policing of law and order.
Each episode (5 in total) of the game will lead the player to explore different crime scenes, collecting evidence, solving puzzles, interviewing characters and presenting the case to the magistrate for judgement. Will Fielding’s fledgling police force gain the public’s trust through successful convictions of hardened criminals? Only if the player, as Fielding’s key Runner, can prove who did it…
Bow Street Runner is based on the Channel 4 five-part series City of Vice.
Bow Street Runner is designed to be historically accurate, and therefore the game’s content and its setting may not be suitable for younger players!

I can’t wait for the last two episodes to come out……I love these games….
Just finished Episode 3, this game is awesome :) Waiting for number 4
agreed! these are awesome to play and since we don’t get this show in the US, it’s as close as we’ll get until a DVD of the television series comes out :)
I have given up with the nails….. tried for hours….. i hear the slurping sound but nothing moves.
Nail were easy. Just click hold down mouse and move straight up. Do it to all no specific order
Some parts are really hard with a laptop touch pad. Still waiting on episode 4. I have a feeling the old blind man is up to no good!
Anyone playing #4?
I hope I didn’t miss anything before I got the Custom Agent’s keys.
Shortly after I got knocked out and am now waiting for the next scene to load.
Well I screwed up my evidence and missed my esteem. I guess i’ll try again.

Help I can’t find the badge on the left side of deck. got the contraband and the lantern.. anyone on that can tell me exactly where?.
Oops! nvm I got it! ..
If you get the evidence wrong can you not redo it? Can you go to the next episode or should you do the first one over again with the right order?

got it! I love this game it is awesome!
finished the whole thing! episode 5 and all!
Finished! :)
I ended up as a commander with a grade of A.
How about the rest of you?
There must be higher rank since I had missed esteem at least 3 times during the series and messed up my evidence on this last chapter 3 times.
I’m waiting for Ep 5 to load…right now I am Chief Inspector but I missed a few esteem opportunities but have gotten all evidence correct. We’ll see what rank I am when it’s all over! Congrats tusa! I am hoping (hint, hint creators of Bow Street Runner!) that more episodes will be available to play in the near future. I love this game! When I finish I’ll let you know my final rank! You still may be my boss, tusa! LOL
Walkthrough for episode 4 First Scene.. look at the 2 barrels the first one i s in the top of the cart with apple on the top move apple’s and open it “evidence’ and the 2nd one is the one on the ground “evidence”.. and exit the scene.. Second scene… there’s a man who’s sleeping click the guy and you will see a key and click the key again so you can get it after you get the key you gonna be in the room click the book on the table that is “evidence” and somebody will hit you so watch the scene.. Third Scene… you will be back at the bar remember it guyz an d you will see a man who’s sitting in right side table talk to him..ask all the question and you have to slap him and punch so he will tell you about the contrabands, after ol the question exit the scene.. Fourt Scene..your in front of the ship click on the the name of the ship”evidence” when you get in the ship click the baseball bat”evidence” and at the cannon near the barrels it is evidence too, click at the right side of the boat in the deck or net you will see a water there is a barrels “evidence” and after that you will hear somebody’s talkin look at the door and you have to do something so that they cannot go outside or locked them.. in the right side of the door there’s an “orr” you know for the boat thing you have to drag it to the door so there locked inside.. and the next scene your beside at the cannon light the cannon so the ship will fell… you will be back at the bow street runner to give ol the evidence… EVIDENCE… contraband, captain, ships name, barrels in the water, shipping logs..
@ tusa…I hated to see this game end!!! What a great story and the ending is awesome. My rank was Commander with Grade A also, but I’m certain there is a higher rank, because I missed some opportunities to raise esteem. I had 2 specific characters in mind as the “familiar voice”. When I played the first scene in Ep 5, I knew right away who the bad guy was. How about you? Did you suspect him as well? I didn’t think about him as a suspect until Episode 4. Anyway…looks like we both did pretty well! I hope we see more of the Bow Street Runner series. I think it is one of the best games out there!!!!
hey guyz i forget to tell you that if the episode 4 is still not workin in these site try to play at the escape games 24… see yah..
hey guyz iam done playin at all episode even the episode 5 i got commander and grade A.. just waiting on epiosde 6..lol really love this game a lot.. i hope there is a game like this again this game are so awesome..see yah..
I think there is no more continue story onlt new story will appear.
ok i have all the evidence but nothing is working
nicamex81…just a hint re: the evidence. I am assuming you have finished Ep. 5 so read the back of the evidence you collected…you can click on the edge and you’ll see the “zoom” microscope-like icon; especially concentrate on the evidence you found in the secret desk compartment in the basement of The Black Bull. When you think back on the previous episodes, everything will begin to fall into place based on what you read from that secret compartment. Good luck! Hope that helps a little.
This is the best game i ever played in this server.
LordKnight…I agree!!! I hope we will see new episodes for us to solve more crimes! Did you suspect the culprit? I had two people on my suspect list after Ep 4 but knew right away who I needed to convict when Ep 5 began! Awesome gaming experience!
Ep 5! I can’t for the life of me pick that bleedin’ lock on the desk! Aaaarrrggghhhhhh!!!
Phew! Managed to get the lock. Now I can’t Show
Aaaarrrggghhhh…again!
Ok, I managed to shoot the dudes, but missed the esteem up! Why, I killed ’em, what do we have to do to get the esteem for that one? anyone know?
Kaz: I think that to get the esteem, you have to kill the dudes without dying yourself, not even once. I was pretty close to dying, but managed to kill them all before that time, and I did get the esteem.
I got a B in the end… I didn’t solf the fourth case. My last evidence was the shipping log, but he didn’t accept that. Should that have been some other evidence?
superintendant with grade A
loved that game, but hated the shooting bit had to do it like 6 times >_
Loading episode 5. Still loading. Loading. Loading. Load…Zzzzz.
