Storyline

You’re a local investigative reporter hoping to land your first big piece in The Boston Globe. You’ve discovered a scandal in the North End, where a famous Italian mafia family is allegedly in cahoots with a well-known local politician. But the proof lies in several incriminating documents the mafia hid in the neighborhood. 

You’ve made it your mission to find all of the clues that may lead to the documents and get your first big break. But mafia enforcers have found out you’re on the trail...

For the final question (12/11), the Napoli sign is not the first sign on the post, it’s Rome! Not sure if it’s changed since the game’s inception. Otherwise, we had a great time!
