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.
Like with my paper math mysteries, students must carefully read and comprehend the clue to decide which suspects they can eliminate from the list.
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
