Description
This Halloween Escape Room Activity is provided in both a completely digital format and a paper-based format. Both formats require students to figure out hidden codes by using the clues found on the Haunted House picture cards and by solving multiplication problems with a focus on the partial products (box or window pane) method. This is a great way to add a little fun to Halloween this year while practicing multiplication strategies! Perfect for 4th grade but could be used in 5th grade too!
There’s also a quick teacher intro video to get you started.
*IMPORTANT
You can use the links below to check whether the technology will work on your students’ computers. Some districts have filters blocking outside links.
โบMake sure you test using a STUDENT computer!
Test that Google Slides Work! (You’ll be asked to make a copy!) (bit.ly/testgoogleslides)
Test that Google Forms works in your class! (bit.ly/testgoogleforms)
The digital format is completely paperless (except for the recording sheet)! It is housed on Google Slides. It is also prep free! The locks to enter the next room are created by figuring out the code that becomes a part of the URL that leads to the next Haunted House.
The paper format is great for classes with limited technology use or districts with strict website filters. The paper format prints 4 to a page to save on paper and can be printed in color or in black and white (although color is advised.)
Both formats include a recording sheet, hints to help students if they get stuck, and an answer key. A teacher guide is also included!

Great review resource for my students. They were very excited to try to ‘escape’, however I only had one pair finish in an hour and a half.
