Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror Escape Room Game. Halloween Fun Clues / Quiz English Reading

A fun resource for KS3 learners. This resource is based on chapter 6 of the book: Winter Pruning.

This resource includes: 11 clues, an instruction and answer sheet and clue answer sheet.

Split your class into teams of 4 - 6. Ideally you will need two classrooms as each team will hide the clues for the other team in a separate room. If you can only use one classroom then split the room in half.

Each team will hide the other teams’ clues and then each team will have to locate all the clues in order to solve the code!

For my class, I hid the clues myself. I began by reading the chapter and then gave them the instructions and asked them to find the clues around the classroom.

Further Instructions

• There are 11 clues hidden around the room.
• You need to locate all 11 clues and then you need to solve them in order from
1 – 11.
• The first 9 clues will reveal a letter of the alphabet that you must note down
on your answer sheet. When you have all of the letters noted down, you will
then unscramble the letters to reveal a chapter from the book (two words).
• The other two clues will reveal 2 separate numbers. You will multiply these
numbers to reveal a 4-digit number. This will be the last part of the code.
• Once you have both codes, you will then be able to escape from
Uncle Montague’s creepy house!

All clues are based on this chapter if the book and learners will have to use their skimming and scanning techniques to look for the answers in their reading books.
