Calling all brave mathematicians!

Are your students ready for a spooky multiplication challenge? A mischievous ghost has locked them inside a haunted house, and the only way to escape before midnight is to solve a series of multiplication puzzles!

The Haunted House Multiplication Escape is a low-prep, high-engagement activity that aligns with CCSS.4.NBT.B.5.

What's Included?

• A Haunting Introduction.
• 6 Chilling Clues: including word problems, crossword puzzle and a mix of 2-digit, 3-digit, and 4-digit multiplication problems to test different skill levels.
• Escape Sheet: Students will collect "keys" (cutouts from the correct answer boxes on the clue sheets) and stick them onto the escape sheet throughout the challenge.
• Worksheet: Provide a space for students to show their work and calculations for each clue.
• Answer Key: Keep the game running smoothly.
• Winner's Circle! Celebrate the victorious team with fun certificates or props for a winning photo.

How to prep?

1. Gather Your Supplies: Print out the clue sheets, escape sheet, and worksheet (one copy per group). You'll also need scissors, tape, and a timer (optional: spooky music to set the mood).

2. Prepare the Haunted House: Hide the clue sheets around your classroom or designate specific locations for each clue (envelopes labeled with clue numbers are optional).

3. Assemble Your Teams: Divide your students into groups of 3-4 players.

Let the Escape Begin!

1. Time is Ticking! Set a timer for 40 minutes to create a sense of urgency and excitement.
2. Unlock the Clues: Each group starts at a designated clue (or envelope). Students work together to solve the multiplication challenge and find the answer.
3. Answer Check: Groups come to you to verify their answer using the answer key.
4. Key to Escape: If the answer is correct, students cut out the box at the top right corner of the clue sheet (the "key") then stick the "key" onto their escape sheet.
5. On to the Next Challenge: Once they have the "key," provide the next clue sheet (or envelope) for them to tackle.
6. Escape Achieved! The first group to finish all the clues and fill their escape sheet with "keys" wins the game!
