This game is a fictional tale that uses the colorful stories of Raton and the surrounding area to bring our history to life. You will investigate five crime stories from the late 1800’s to the 1930’s. Each crime had a chief suspect at the time, but we now know that just one of five suspects is responsible for all five heists! The details of the crimes are described in news stories by local reporters. These stories are presented to you in large posters displayed in the front windows of five historic downtown buildings (see enclosed map). The news stories, plus the criminal profiles in the Gameplay Kit, contain all of the clues to
the identity of the Outlaw. You will also see posters with “The Colorful and True History of Raton.” No clues are in these posters – only amazing true stories!
One key to solving this crime is that the Time Travelling Outlaw left a clue at each heist to taunt law enforcement as to his/her identity. You must untangle these clues in the crime stories and review the rap sheets of the suspects to identify the Time Travelling Outlaw (use of the internet is OK and encouraged.)
NOTE: As a fictional tale, the Outlaw could time travel, so he/she moved from time period to time period. So you should not consider the criminals’ ages in your sleuthing.Calling on all Sherlock Holmes, Perry Masons, Columbos and Jessica Fletchers! The Time Travelling Outlaw must be brought to justice!
You can win the $200 reward by identifying the correct person from five key suspects. Pick up your Gameplay Kit at one of five downtown locations to start your sleuthing.
