Set the stage with a note from the ice cream shop attendant:

I have a special treat.

Yes, it is true.

But first I need,

Some help from you!

The supplies are lost,

As you can see.

Who has them?

It’s a mystery!

Solve each challenge,

Along the way.

So we can build,

A big sundae!

After the students complete each challenge, they will receive a clue from the culprit. A suspect will be eliminated after each challenge. Once all of the ice cream day centers have been completed, they will have eliminated all but one suspect!
