*Please look over the preview carefully, to see if this is suitable for your classroom. The problems are designed to present students with a challenge, but the emphasis is Team-Building, so the students shouldn't get bogged down with the math.
I have purchased quite a few of these mysteries through the years and my students year after year enjoy it. They especially like that someone in the room is the killer and even they don't know it's them! A great item to reuse each year as well. - Catherine T.
