Carlotta Facts, the History Mystery Museum's engaging professor, wants students
to guess the mystery subject she is studying in each game. Dr. Facts provides
a number of clues, and challenges students to figure out the subject using
those clues. Each game contains either four or five clues. Students can use
the World Wide Web or offline research sources as they attempt to identify
the game's mystery person, place, event, or object in history. Each game centers
around a particular curriculum theme in United States or world history.
