Quality Control Crisis: The Midnight Forgery

A thrilling detective escape room designed for Y11 GCSE Business students. Students solve four puzzles based on key operations and quality control concepts: production methods (batch, flow, job), Just-In-Time vs Just-In-Case inventory, quality control vs quality assurance, Total Quality Management, and lean production. The narrative frames students as members of an inspector's team investigating sabotage at a manufacturing factory. They must identify forged audit documents, catch a lying supervisor, reconstruct a timeline of events, and count true statements in shipping manifests. Fully differentiated with support, standard, and stretch tiers. Includes PPTX presentation slides, student answer sheets, answer key, and extension activities. Print and play—no prep required.
