Find answers to common questions about our digital learning resources, downloads, and classroom use

Mystery-based learning is an interactive teaching approach where students work through a series of clues and challenges to solve a mystery. At Kiwiland Education, students must use key academic skills—like reading comprehension, math, or science—to eliminate suspects one by one. Each correct answer brings them closer to the truth, until only the real culprit remains. This process boosts critical thinking, keeps students highly engaged, and turns learning into an exciting investigation.

A digital escape room is an interactive online activity where students solve puzzles, riddles, or challenges to "escape" or complete a mission. At Kiwiland Education, our digital escape rooms combine storytelling with academic content, guiding students through tasks aligned with curriculum areas like math, reading, science, or history. As students answer correctly, they unlock clues and progress through the mystery—all within a fun, game-like format that's perfect for both in-class and remote learning.

Yes! Kiwiland Education resources are perfect for homeschool settings. They’re easy to follow, require minimal prep, and are designed to engage students through fun, interactive learning. Whether you're teaching one child or a small group, our mysteries, digital escape rooms, and skill-based activities provide an exciting way to reinforce core subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies at home.
