THE Ultimate Science of Halloween STEM Escape Room

In the quiet town of Sleepy Willows, there is a legendary haunted house that has intrigued and frightened the locals for generations. The spooky mansion is said to be cursed by a mischievous ghost named Jasper, who loves playing tricks on anyone who dares to enter.

Will you enter the haunted house and unravel the mysteries within before Jasper captures your souls forever? Will your team be first to crack the codes and be the escape room champions?

Rooms include:
• The Graveyard. Learners match up the science key term to its definition. Along the way, the matched-up lines will pass through letters. Learners need to rearrange these letters to make a Halloween themed word to move to the next room.
• The Ballroom. Learners use coordinates to colour boxes and reveal a Halloween image.
• The Kitchen. Learners use a common escape room cryptic message and need to decipher the poem to find the word and then give the number of bones in this.
• The Dining Room. Learners find their way through the maze and collect letters. Rearranging these letters will give the code word for the next room.
• The Parlour. Learners need to decode the family portrait.
• The Music Room. Learner need to complete a calcudoku using their knowledge of mathematical operations
• The Front Door. Now learners have collected all their keys and given you the pass code ‘ghosts’ they can begin to cut out the bones on each key. Placing the bones in the correct location will cover some numbers. Learners use these numbers to find letters within the names of the bones they’ve placed. They then rearrange these letter to find the name of the skeleton and exit the escape room!
