    My students loved trying to track down the culprit in this mini mystery! Definitely increases class engagement and they were excited to crack the code. - Margot R.
    I used this resource for a sub day as a review. The sub said it went very well. This definitely makes a subs day much easier when students are more engaged. :) - Tracy C.
