From the classic whodunit stories that gave us our most iconic sleuths, to today’s Hollywood movies that keep us on the edge of their seats, to real-life unexplainable events that spark debate around the world, nothing ignites our natural human curiosity like a good mystery.

Theme content focuses on age-appropriate mysteries that don't involve death or violence. Some of the real-world mystery options learners can choose from may have scary moments. For example, the Gardner Museum Heist involves an armed robbery, and the disappearance of Amelia Earhart involves theories about a plane crash.
