Are the 189 Esti-Mysteries included with the course?
Yes! You will be able to download (in a single click) all 189 Esti-Mysteries! That includes EVERY Esti-Mystery that I've written through May 2021. You will have a MASSIVE collection of Esti-Mysteries ready to use in class. In addition, they will give you many clue ideas.
What are the 50 Images?
For some people, finding a container, gathering objects, counting those objects and taking the photo is the most time-consuming part of the process. So I've created 50 custom images just for Esti-Mysteries. I've already counted the objects, taken the photos, placed the picture on the template - and of course have included the answer. That means all you need to do is select the perfect clues for you class.
Since I've done this 50 times - with images that have never been seen before - that means you have an ENORMOUS starter pack of 50 Ready-to-Write Esti-Mysteries.
Of course, the Esti-Mystery Creator Course will teach you how to take your own photos to use in your own Esti-Mysteries, but these images will let you dive in to the process immediately.

What if I purchase the course and then realize that it isn't for me?
No worries! If you purchase the course and then realize that it's not for you, just let me know in the first 30 days - and you'll receive your money back. ALL OF IT!
What are the custom templates?
The course includes a clue template with space for 5 clues. If you want fewer clues, you simply delete the extra clue boxes that are not needed. In addition to the standard template, I've added a 6-clue template to the course.
In addition, I've included 2 brand new horizontal templates that work better for landscape photos.
