How is the artwork in Cactus Curricula created?
The majority of our images are licensed photographs, historical images, maps, and other authentic visuals. However, not everything in a mystery can be found in photographs. For our fictional characters, some story clues, and certain graphics, we may use AI-generated illustrations to explain a teaching point or bring the mystery to life.
Will future updates be included?
Yes. During your access period, you'll receive any updates or improvements made to your purchased Mini-Mystery at no additional cost.
What is your refund policy?
We offer a 7-day refund period from the purchase date. Because this is a digital curriculum, refunds must be requested before significant use of the course materials.
Do you offer support for parents?
Yes. If you have questions while working through a Mini-Mystery, we're here to help. Whether it's a question about pacing, an activity, or navigating the curriculum, just reach out.
