This is the Halloween game some of you did in class last week. You'll need a mobile phone and a QR code app in order to do it. Try it if you weren't in class or couldn't do it. The aim is to find out what the final 7-letter mystery word related to Halloween is, by following the clues and the QR codes given.

Click on the following link: The Story Behind the photo . You'll be able to see an old photo I've
posted. I called it Alexandra Gregoriova and invented a very short story
