Introducing the Case of the Halloween Heist Digital Game!

10/8/2019

2 Comments

Are you trying to save paper in the classroom or at home? Is your school encouraging more use of technology and less traditional paper worksheets? Over the past year, I've been working on building digital mystery options to start a new line that will help teachers cater for their classrooms if technology resources are needed. These mystery games take me a while to make, so at the moment I don't have too many available. But, this week I'd like to share with you my latest digital mystery creation for the spooky season coming up, The Case of the Halloween Heist! I'll include a free trial so that you can see how it works. It might be a fun option to keep your students engaged and learning in the build up to Halloween.  

The Mystery Game Structure

Like with my paper math mysteries, the CSI Digital Mystery Math Games also start with a video hook. Check out the intro story for the Case of the Halloween Heist below:
Then the game continues clue by clue, to crack a code which will reveal an important piece of information. Correct answering of math questions will be rewarded with a letter being revealed in the clue message. 
Picture
Like with my paper math mysteries, students must carefully read and comprehend the clue to decide which suspects they can eliminate from the list. 
Picture
At the end of each successful elimination round, a password will be revealed. This password will unlock the link provided for the next clue! Making these CSI Digital Mystery Games a fun paperless way to set up an escape room. 

At the end of clue 5, students will need to select which character is the Halloween Heist thief! This will unlock a bonus game round, with yes more math! Once completed, an ending video-clip will wrap up the story! 

Implementation Suggestions

You can use the Digital Mystery Game, The Case of the Halloween Heist, a few ways in your classroom. Here are a few suggestions:
  • Set the game as an individual/pairs task for students to complete on their tablets, Chromebooks, PCs, or any other device you might be using (test with the free trial).
  • Set a timer for students to aim to beat to solve the mystery. You can do this by breaking it up clue by clue, or for the whole mystery at once. I recommend 45 minutes to aim to complete the game. 
  • Turn it into a competition for students to race through and see who can solve the mystery first! 
  • OR complete as a class on the IWB by taking turns to answer questions. 

Technical

The Digital Mystery Game should work on any device with a stable Internet connection. Cookies must be enabled too!

Here's a FREE clue trial from LEVEL 1 of the Halloween Heist Game for you to see if it works on your device:

Differentiation

There are three math levels provided in the packet of this Halloween Heist Game. Select a level of difficulty that suits your students best. The mystery outcome in each level of these digital mysteries is different (but that also means clues cannot be swapped like with the paper mysteries).

​LEVEL 1
  • Clue 1: Addition with no-regrouping
  • Clue 2: Multiplication Facts (10 Times Tables and 2 Times Tables only)

  • Clue 3: Rounding Numbers to the nearest ten or hundred (with whole numbers up to thousands)
  • Clue 4: Read Clocks and select the matching digital time (5-Minute Intervals)
  • Clue 5: Divide by 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, or 10s Facts
  • Bonus ending round - Mental Math Mix of Times Tables and Division Facts

  • Clue 2: Multiplying Powers of Ten

  • Clue 4: Elapsed Time
  • Clue 5: Division Facts (A Mix of Facts from 1-12)
  • Bonus ending round - Mental Math Mix of Times Tables and Division Facts (Harder problems than Level 2)

Sharing with Students

I'm still fine-tuning this and keen to take on any constructive feedback when possible. At this stage there are a few ways you may choose to share the game with your students:
  • Upload the Student Copy PDF file to a classroom shared drive, cloud or Dropbox where all students can access the PDF file.
  • Email the PDF file to your students to obtain a copy
  • Use the QR codes provided for students to scan. These can be printed or shown on the IWB for students to scan from.
  • Do as a class on the IWB with your access to the links only.
  • If all of the above fails, you can send an email to me and we can try to resolve the issue.

Try a piece of the game free and see if it works for you. I'd love to know what you think or any constructive feedback you might have on it. 
Thanks for reading!
