Halloween Escape Room - No Prep!

The Halloween Activity Escape Room will take students on a haunted mission around the classroom! This escape room has students decode four spooky, fun facts about Halloween.

The Halloween Escape Room has students walking around the classroom breaking codes. Students are given a secret code name and sent on a haunted mission to save Jack from the Haunted Mansion! The codes include ciphers, Morse code, cryptograms and a final 4 digit door lock combination based on the four decoders/clues.

Each clue and code is different. The codes require students to think differently to decipher or decode them. Some codes are easier than others. Some codes require critical thinking to determine what a letter/symbol stands for. Each code will reveal a spooky, interesting fact about Halloween. The use of secret code will keep your students engaged while competing to find the final lock combination. No props needed!! Students can report the final lock combination to you. If you wanted to, you could purchase a 4 digit lock that you program, but it is not necessary at all!
The best age range for this resource is 8+. Please look at preview to determine if this resource works for your age group. Younger students may need some help with some of the more difficult codes.

You can use the pre-labeled clues or you can challenge older kids to choose/find the decoder that works for each of the clues. A set of labeled and non-labeled decoders is included.
