Editions & Pricing

How much does Cactus Curricula cost?

• Solo Student Edition (1-year license): $35 per mystery
• Group Edition (2-year license): $95 per mystery

What’s the difference between the Solo and Group prices?

• Solo Student Edition is for one student in a single household and includes a 1-year license.
• Group Edition is for a teacher with multiple students (up to 25) in the same co-op class, school class, or immediate family, and includes a 2-year license.

Both editions include the same mystery materials, but the Group license allows for multiple students and a longer access period.

What is included in the purchase price?

Your purchase includes:

• Full access to the selected mystery (Solo or Group Edition)
• Teacher’s Edition and Student Pages for that mystery
• Forensic labs and answer keys
• Evidence folders, visuals, and printables in the Print Center
• Access for 1 year with the Solo Student Edition or 2 years with the Group Edition, starting from your purchase date

Do you offer discounts, sales, or bundles?

In Spring 2026, when they release all six mysteries, you’ll be able to purchase the complete six-mystery bundle for $198 (Solo Student Edition) or $498 (Group Edition).

Can I switch from Solo to Group or from Group to Solo after purchase?

Licenses for Solo and Group Editions are separate, so they can’t be changed once purchased. If your needs change, you’re welcome to purchase the edition that best fits your situation for that mystery.

What happens if I purchase mid-year?

Your license period begins on the date of purchase—regardless of when you buy—and lasts for the full length of your edition (1 year for the Solo Student Edition, 2 years for the Group Edition).

What if I need an extension?

We offer an optional 6-month extension for $10 (Solo) or $30 (Group) in the summer of 2026.
