Mrs. Pepper's Nasty Secret

Mrs. Pepper is a great starting place for those getting into IF. It has a very generous hint system and fun puzzles that are just the right difficulty (for me, anyway!). I like cryptography, so I really like the inclusion of a cipher as part of the plot. I would recommend printing a map or drawing a map to keep track of all of the locations. After I did everything I needed to do for the main storyline, I got stuck as to what to do finish. I figured it out easily, but I thought the end was a little anti-climatic. (Spoiler - click to show)I was hoping that Mrs. Pepper would return home and maybe receive a little poetic justice! Next, I plan on having my middle school students work through this story as an intro to IF!
