Bring the drama of a high-tech safari park emergency into your classroom with this cinematic, fully immersive Maths Escape Room! This resource blends mathematical fluency with logical reasoning and critical thinking, putting your Year 3 and Year 4 students in charge of a complex technical rescue.

The Mission Structure:
This escape room uses a hybrid format: a compelling digital interface combined with traditional maths puzzles.
The Digital Console (PowerPoint): This slide deck is the operational hub. It provides the mission briefing, an optional 45-minute countdown, and atmospheric backgrounds that change based on time (starting clear, moving into an emergency “amber alert” phase).
The Maintenance Logs (Worksheets): Students must solve 10 separate maths puzzles across the printable student booklet. Each completed “Log” corresponds to one digit of the final 10-digit Master Code needed to save the park. Once they have all 10 digits, they entry them on the final ‘Mainframe Console’ slide.

What’s Included in the Pack:
Cinematic PowerPoint Presentation (14 Slides): The interactive hub, including instructions, timer, and visual updates.
Teacher’s Operational Key (Answer Pack): Full solutions for every riddle and the final code sequence (5-0-8-5-3-2-2-0-3-1).
Student Maintenance Booklet (Printable PDF/Doc): The 10 puzzles where pupils complete all calculations.
Logic Board Tracking Sheet: A dedicated page for teams to keep track of their code digits.
Post-Mission Reflection Plenary: A self-assessment tool for pupils to review difficulty and team performance.
