The Great Party Caper

The Great Party Caper: Screen-Free STEM, Logic & Mystery Curriculum (Ages 4-11)
Transform your classroom, STEM lab, or enrichment group into a high-stakes, Traitors-style mystery adventure.

The Great Party Caper is a fully immersive logic and critical-thinking unit set inside the Ultimate Arcade & Pizza Zone. Disaster has struck right before the party: the mega prize-token box is locked, the party timeline is scrambled, and a mysterious saboteur is on the loose. Students must put on their detective hats, cross-reference alibis, crack codes, and solve math puzzles to unmask the culprit.

Designed around an accessible philosophy, this unit requires minimal prep while delivering maximum student engagement. It features three-tier differentiation spanning Early Years up to Upper Primary (Ages 7-11), making it ideal for mixed-ability classrooms, independent learning stations, or extension groups.
