Curse of Count Vincula
A downloadable game
The oppressive reign of the wicked vampire, Count Vincula, has gone on for too long. But if we are to fight back, a simple wooden stake is not enough to destroy him. The stake must be carved with the creature’s full name. Of course, the Count has kept his first name a closely guarded secret... until tonight!
Players must uncover the long-forgotten identity of the shadowy undead aristocrat before they fall victim to his murderous bite!
Curse of Count Vincula is a classroom game that blends mathematical practice with an escape room-style puzzle element.
To unravel the mystery, participants must gather and interpret clues. One step of this process requires completing a mathematical practice puzzle to construct an important piece of evidence.
Three "puzzle" documents are available for download. The puzzle format is the same for all three of these documents; they differ only in terms of the mathematics content they contain. Before playing the game, choose one of the puzzle topics.
Topic choices for this Math Mystery include:
- Commonly-missed multiplication facts
- Exponent rules for products and powers
- Rational exponents and radicals
