62. Station Instructions
Station 1 Instructions
Welcome to Station 1. You see an assortment of
strange items. It seems that the mysterious caller
did call back to let us know that these items may
have something to do with the mystery. Using a
laptop take a picture of these artifacts. Using
iChat contact Russel who is waiting at
headquarters for your message and send the
picture to him. When he receives your picture you
will receive an iChat message back that contains
the first clues. Put these clues onto your laptop in
a Sticky Note. When you have completed this
station, the Station Master will give you
permission to go on to the next station.
CLUE WORDS: parachute, footprint, husky voice

63. Station Instructions
Station 2 Instructions
Welcome to Station 2. Here is where you will be
collecting Visual Evidence. You have 10 minutes to
scour the halls of NIS and using a digital camera
take pictures of any suspicious people, places or
items that you see. Remember ANYTHING could
be suspicious - people who might know
something about the treasure, places where you
think the treasure might be located, items that
might point the way to the treasure… Use your
imagination. Make sure you take at least 8
pictures. Upload these pictures into iPhoto and
put them into a new album titled “NIS Mystery”.
When you have completed this task, the Station
Master will give you your next clues along with
permission to go on to the next station. Make sure
to add the clues to your Stickies.
CLUE WORDS: red, train station, fireworks

64. Station Instructions
Station 3 Instructions
Welcome to Station 3. Here is where you will be
collecting Video Evidence. You will check out a
camera from the Station Master. You have 10
minutes to roam the halls of NIS and using your
video camera take some video of possible places
where you think the treasure might be located.
Take no more than 2-3 minutes of video.
Download the video into iMovie. Share the movie
into a Quicktime movie. Return the camera to the
Station Master and when you have completed this
task the Station Master will give you your next
clues along with permission to go on to the next
station. Make sure to add the clues to your
Stickies.
CLUE WORDS: crowds, laugh, storm

65. Station Instructions
Station 4 Instructions
Welcome to Station 4. Here is where you will be
collecting Audio Evidence. The Station Master has
some information about the mystery so you will
interview him/her. Use GarageBand to record your
interview. Save the interview as an mp3 file. When
you have completed this task, the Station Master
will give you your next clues along with
permission to go on to the next station. Make sure
to add the clues to your Stickies.
CLUE WORDS: crowds, laugh, storm

66. Station Instructions
Headquarter Instructions
OK, you now have all your resources and all the
word clues. Use your creativity to come up with
your agency’s solution to the mystery - WHAT is
the NIS treasure and WHERE is it located? Work
together to put together a digital presentation to
show your solution. Your presentation should
contain some of the resources (images, video,
audio) that you collected at the stations, as well
as make reference to some of the word clues.
Your presentation may take any digital form -
podcast, movie, slideshow, keynote, pages, wiki,
iWeb, ComicLife, etc. and of course can combine
elements of any of these.
Have fun, be creative and use your tech skills!
There are support people around to help if you run
into some tech questions.
