UPDATED FOR SUMMER 2024!
After the Santa and Easter murder mysteries were such a success, I thought I would create a summer one for use on those last few days in the summer term to go alongside the quizzes or other activities you might do every year.
This mystery follows the murder of Mr. Rossi who was (unfortunately) still in his ice cream van when someone melted it! There are 20 suspects and 5 clues for teams to solve before gaining access to the final clue, which will allow them to start eliminating suspects.
The clues rely on team work to complete them well within an hour, and require problem solving skills as well. Some clues are (loosely) linked to science; there is a classification key and a speed calculation, but the main aspect is team work and problem solving.
Students will need the case brief printed, and some of the slides in the PowerPoint to complete this. The slides needed are labeled in the notes section.
There is a leader board so you are able to display the progress of each team. I allow teams to lock in an answer whenever they want, but I won’t tell them if they’re right until the end. They can work on the clues in any order but MUST have completed all 5 before accessing final clues. all answers are provided in the PowerPoint.
Enjoy
16 questions (including a tie breaker) on and around the holiday of Easter. The quiz includes all answers at the end and is suitable for students to do in teams or individually. The quiz should take about 20 minutes to complete and mark.

Currently 32 quizzes of sixteen questions (with a tie breaker, just in case!) for use in tutor time and/or as a house competition in teams. Each week/quiz has a different theme. All answers are included at the end of the PowerPoint, sometimes with additional infomation.
UPDATED TO FIX ERRORS.
From Quiz 15 onwards, question 10 always has a literacy theme to try to improve whole school literacy.
