Math Mysteries

a collection by Jason Ermer · last updated 2024-07-29 17:34:04

The Math Mysteries are a collection of mathematical classroom games with escape room-style puzzle elements.

Each game has a unique narrative and setting that frames the main objective, for example: identifying the cheating card player in the western-inspired "Outlaws of Crooked Gulch", or deciphering the supercomputer password onboard a sci-fi space station in "Robot Reboot".

To unravel the mystery, players gather and interpret clues. One step of this process requires completing a mathematical practice puzzle to construct an important piece of evidence. Multiple math topics are available for each Math Mystery (see below).

But the exploration doesn't stop there! In addition to a bit of math practice, players will have to use other logical reasoning and problem solving skills to unravel the larger puzzle and solve the mystery.
