Boyd Schoolhouse

You are probably wondering why I have gathered you here today. I need your help. As you know, our organization was formed in secret to stop the ACME corporation and their secret evil plan. Their leader, Dr. Blackgaard, is ruthless and will stop at nothing.

It is now the 11th hour of our game. The final piece of the puzzle for ACME is the land that Boyd’s Schoolhouse sits on. Dr. Blackgaard was fed up with the views from his lake house being ruined by the Amish walleye fishing. He hatched a secret plot and is using Berlin Township’s eminent domain to seize the land and plans to demolish the school. The land is on the exact geographic location for the Lake Erie and Ohio River watershed. It’s the last piece he needs for his secret plan to dam every county in a line between PA and Indiana, creating a major water shortage. Dr. Blackgaard asked nicely, so the Canadians immediately surrendered lower Ontario to him to dam. The only thing standing in his way is Boyd’s Schoolhouse. With it demolished he can hold Ohio ransom, or else Lake Erie will run dry. And there certainly will be no more walleye fishing.

It was rumored to be a stop on the Underground Railroad, with a hidden entrance, but no one remembers how to find it. We just found old Dennis Boyd’s journals. He claims that the old school was once a stop on the Underground Railroad, and that he wanted to stop his students from sneaking in to smooch, so he designed a puzzle to hide its existence. If you can find your way in and prove that it was on the Underground Railroad, we can get it on the National Register of Historic Places, which would mean it is protected by law and they would not be able to destroy it.

Be careful, Dr. Blackgaard’s men are everywhere. Now you need to hurry. I found a construction worker loyal to our organization. He will sneak you in after the building’s final inspection and buy you 60 minutes. Good luck, and remember, everyone is counting on you!
