We had such an exciting day on Thursday! It all started when we were delivered a mysterious envelope. Inside the envelope we found a simple picture of a coat. What could this mean? We decided to try scanning it in the same way we did with our first message which contained a QR code. Unfortunately the QR reader didn't work. We decided to try using Aurasma to scan the picture. We couldn't believe our eyes when a video of Detective Price came onto the iPad screen with a message asking us to solve his clues to find Princess Alexandra's jewels.
The Aurasma augmented reality clues led us all around the school where we had to solve problems to work out where the next clue could be found. We found clues in the cloakroom, the dining hall, the climbing wall, the football pitch and the garden. Eventually, we were led to the quiet area of the playground where we found a locked chest with another clue on the top. We had to use this clue to help us work out the code for the padlock. Inside the chest were all of Princess Alexandra's jewels and another clue leading us to the culprit! It was so exciting!
Finally, we were led to the PPA room where we found Miss Phillips trying on some of Princess Alexandra's jewels. Miss Phillips said she was very sorry for taking the jewels and has promised never to do anything like that again but we will be keeping our eye on her for a while!
We really enjoyed the treasure hunt and loved looking inside the chest to see all of Princess Alexandra's precious jewels. We wanted to tell Princess Alexandra all about how we had found her jewels so we decided to create eBooks to give her lots of information about our search. Have a look at two of the books we created and some of our pictures from our mystery bellow.
