About
Mystery Writers’ Club Overview: The Mystery Writers’ Club challenges young detectives to think like authors — crafting intricate, edge-of-your-seat mysteries. This program explores the mechanics of suspense, teaching students how to build tension, plant red herrings, and create twists that keep readers guessing until the very last page. Participants will design a cast of compelling characters — from sneaky suspects to brilliant detectives — and map out complex plots filled with clues, motives, and surprises. They’ll also learn the art of misdirection, creating false leads and shocking reveals that make their mysteries unforgettable. As they develop their stories, students will strengthen their logical thinking and creative writing skills. Each writer will produce a complete mystery tale, packed with puzzles, suspense, and a satisfying "aha!" moment. By the end, participants will walk away with their own thrilling whodunit, ready to share with friends and family — or even perform as a mystery play. This program is perfect for young writers who love a good puzzle and want to learn how to keep an audience hooked from start to finish.
