Years 4-5 · a Christmas maths escape room with two levels that share the same five codes.

Your class has to save the sleigh! It is Christmas Eve, the North Pole toy workshop has frozen and every door is locked. Teams of 2-4 solve five maths challenges: each correct code opens the next room, and the fifth code launches the sleigh.

Two levels, one answer list

  • Level 1: times tables and division facts (Year 4; good Multiplication Tables Check practice)
  • Level 2: written methods: 2- and 3-digit × 1-digit, one 2-digit × 2-digit, and short division (Year 5)
  • Both levels give exactly the same codes, so you can mix levels in one class and check every team against one list.

The five rooms

  1. The Wrapping Room: Gift Tag Decoder
  2. The Toy Shop: Shelf Count (word problems; the ones digits make the code)
  3. The Candy Kitchen: Candy Cane Maze (each answer shows the next step)
  4. The Reindeer Barn: True or False?
  5. The Sleigh Hangar: Launch Code

What’s inside (22 A4 pages)

  • Teacher guide with a “what to printâ€� table, timings, station mode and curriculum links
  • Mission brief to read aloud and a team Escape Log
  • 10 room pages (5 per level), hint cards and escape certificates
  • Answer overview and full answer keys for both levels
  • Self-checking digital lock (Excel or Google Sheets): type a code and the lock turns green and names the next room. The codes are never shown.

Good to know

  • No padlocks or boxes needed: print and go (about 10 minutes of prep)
  • The code words are real words, so pupils know when they are on track
  • 40-60 minutes: a whole-class challenge, group work or stations

Checked by Diya & Dot: every answer and code was calculated and checked for both levels. The illustrations are simple vector drawings.
