SuperThinkers features a set of original interactive mysteries designed to foster literacy and problem-solving. Created by children's book author & illustrator/educator Peter H. Reynolds and his creative team at Emmy Award-winning FableVision and funded by Verizon. This site takes a creative approach in order to engage every type of learner, using sound, animation, words, images, and interactivity. The SuperThinkers site offers a variety of activities and suggested reading, as well as games. A featured game, The Peetnik Mysteries is a challenging mystery game where students use common tools, like maps, phones, and phone directories to follow up on hunches and solve the mystery. The mysteries are not something that can be done quickly and might be easier in pairs or very small groups. Four new Peetnik mysteries expected in Fall, 2003. The mysteries are totally Flash-driven.
