That's right, I'm talking about "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego", Glitch style!
After witnessing a Smuggler Mission unfold yesterday, I thought to myself: "Wouldn't it be cool to do a Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego or Where's Waldo type mission within Glitch? All the elements are there, why not?"
So, here's the idea:
Much like the "Ghosts" mission requiring finding 7 ghosts in various locations throughout the world, this mission formula would involve a series of sub-missions (prerequisites) in which the Glitch must track and apprehends each of a Robber's underlings (juju's). Once all the clues are found and the underlings captured, the Master Thief/Robber (like the heart) can be brought to justice.
Characters:
- Anyone can be a witness
- Anything is suspect (Vendors, Mining Rocks, Animals and interactive items on the map)
- Juju's as robbers
- Special colored Juju as master thief
Mission:
At the beginning of this new mission, the Rock gives you the mission introduction and if you accept, said Rock alerts you a theft has been committed, immediately transporting your Glitch to the scene of the crime where you must find clues on the map to infer the suspect's next stop and to apprehend the master Robber. Perhaps one of the Dullite rocks would talk, maybe the vendor saw something, what about that suspicious pig over there or maybe there is an odd clue under that Fruit Tree...
Once the clue is found, you apprehend one of the juju's involved and your glitch must travel through a series of different destinations in an attempt to 1) Shake off any pursuing Juju's trying to stop you and 2) to force you to continue tracking the other robbers and master thief down to bring them to justice.
The mission continues in this manner through 3 randomly set streets, requiring you to travel through many places in the same land (Alakol for example) looking for clues, avoiding getting caught, and apprehending the robbers using your clues until your Glitch finally catches up with the main culprit, at which point the thief is arrested and brought to justice. Reward granted and a "Good Samaritan" Police badge granted.
What do you think?
