Halloween Maths Escape Room | Year 4 Review | Pumpkin Patch

Year 4 · KS2 · Maths · Halloween

The Pumpkin Patch at Midnight. The farm gate has swung shut and the pumpkin patch is locked for the night. Ten clues hidden among the vines each hold one letter of the word that opens the gate. Solve a clue, find its letter on the cipher strip, and write it in its box.

A print-and-go Halloween maths escape room that reviews the Year 4 maths pupils need in October. Ten clues each give one letter of a word-lock password, so the class works toward one shared word, not a four-digit code.

What’s inside

• Projected slides that run the room: briefing, the lock, every clue’s setup, puzzle and reveal, and an act break halfway.
• Three differentiated worksheets (Support / Standard / Stretch). Every tier resolves to the same letters, so the whole class opens the same lock.
• Teacher answer key: the answer to every clue at every tier, worked, with the common mistake named.
• Three hint cards for pupils who get stuck.
• PDF worksheets plus the editable Word and PowerPoint files.

How it runs

Two acts of five clues. Act 1 fits one lesson and ends on a real stopping point with half the letters in the lock; Act 2 finishes the word. Clue types: find the wrong calculation, find who made the mistake, follow a chain of steps, and count the true statements.

Accuracy

Every calculation in the room was generated and checked by computer against its answer, at all three tiers, before this file was made.
