The 1912 Columbia Raffle
Backstage of Raffle Square.
Raffle Square is where the 1912 Columbia Raffle takes place.
History
Raffle Square appears to serve as the location for an annual carnival that celebrates Columbia's ideals, which includes a "stoning" of captive non-whites.
When Booker DeWitt arrives at the square, he was asked to pick up a baseball with a number on it. The "lucky number" is 77, which wins him the raffle. Booker is then given a choice to throw a baseball at either a interracial couple or at Jeremiah Fink, the host of the Raffle. Police attempt to apprehend Booker here, but Booker managed to murder his guards and escape, causing the police to pursue him throughout Raffle Square and Comstock Center.
