The Case of the Seven Reflections (Demo)

A Fairy Detective Optics Mystery


Learn the physics of optics as you solve the mystery of the seven dwarves' missing emerald!

You're the most logical fairy in all of fairy land. It's why you became a detective. There's no riddle too twisty, no motive too hidden, no science too advanced for you!

But when a former princess, now business manager to seven dwarves, walks into your detective agency, it might be your toughest case yet.

Fay and the Queen, Agnes, have made amends. They've put all that "who poisoned who" nonsense behind them.

Until the dwarves unearth an emerald the size of a Labrador, and it's stolen that same night.

Every single one of the dwarves saw the thief, but none of them can agree on what he or she looked like!

Queen Agnes, knowing something about mirrors herself, suspects this is because each of the dwarves saw the intruder in a different type of mirror.

Former princess Fay has called upon you, the most famous fairy investigator, to unmask the thief and return the stolen emerald.

In this interactive science story, kids ages 10+ will learn the properties of plane, concave, and convex mirrors through engaging activities and an interactive story.

Rather than reading facts in a textbook, kids will learn through:

  • Solving Classic Scientific Riddles
  • Hands-on Exploration (Have your spoon handy!)
  • Phet Simulations
  • Complex Logic Puzzles

 They'll solve riddles posed by the queen's looking glass, interrogate suspects, and put their newfound knowledge together in a tricky logic puzzle at the end.

 Play Time: 30-60 mins
