About the game
Picture this: the latest Hawk Springs Rodeo is in town, and the excitement is palpable. But when Patches the Rodeo Clown is found murdered, the fun comes to a screeching halt. With everyone close to Patches a suspect, it's up to you to crack the case and catch the killer. As Rosario, Patches' ex-wife, reaches out to you for help, you'll need to put your detective skills to the test. Investigate items found in Patches' trailer, analyze witness statements, and piece together a timeline to solve the mystery. But be warned: this isn't your average murder mystery game. With a cast of colorful characters, including an upcoming rodeo star, a greedy promoter, an angry judge, a beautiful rodeo queen, a fellow clown, and a suspicious veterinarian, you'll have to stay on your toes to unravel the clues and catch the culprit. Players will need to investigate items found in Patches' trailer, analyze the witness statements, and piece together a timeline to determine who had the means, motive, and opportunity to kill the beloved rodeo clown.
