Abstract: # MY UNCLE RAYMOND *A 1983 Horror-Comedy Mathematical Mystery* Growing up in a rough neighborhood in 1983, a rebellious sixteen-year-old spends his days fighting at school, stealing with friends, and ignoring his parents' warnings. He thinks he's seen everything the streets have to offer. But after a botched television robbery lands him in juvenile detention, he experiences something he will never forget. One night, his Uncle Raymond, a security guard at the detention center, appears outside his cell. What begins as a comforting family visit slowly transforms into the strangest, most unforgettable conversation of his young life. Told through seven illustrated acts, **My Uncle Raymond** combines gritty 1980s storytelling, outrageous dark comedy, psychological suspense, and advanced high-school mathematics. Players must solve challenging problems involving probability, algebra, number theory, mathematical sequences, and logical reasoning as the mystery unfolds. Featuring dramatic hand-painted illustrations, eerie red-and-blue horror lighting, replayable activities, and a separate mathematical answer key. **Sometimes the most terrifying night of your life isn't what you expect.** *Original story by Richard Cespedes.*
