- Pick which room to investigate first and follow your detective's intuition by choosing which order to explore S. R. Ranganathan’s mansion. The order that you move through the rooms and which challenges you complete is up to you!
- Each room has three reading prompts. After reading a book or completing one activity in a room, you can scratch the corresponding sticker to reveal the clue within.
- Cross off that clue from the chart on your instruction sheet to eliminate all the false leads.
- What remains will be the solution to the mystery! Write down the solution to the mystery on the instruction sheet.
- Solved the mystery already? Keep reading based on the remaining prompts and keep the fun going all summer long.
- Return your instruction sheet with your name and contact information by Saturday August 17, 2024 to enter the grand prize draw. One entry per person. Only correct answers will quality. Drop it off in person or email a photo to asgprogramming@yrl.ab.ca
