Will your class escape in time? Try this escape room style game with your students today! This is a fun game that is perfect for reviewing adding and subtracting decimals, as well as rounding decimals with your fifth grade students.
This is an interactive game where the students are timed. They are trying to escape Santa’s snowed in workshop. Students must solve a string of questions and clues, as well as decode different ciphers, to escape. If your class has never played an escape game before, I suggest playing this as a whole class. However, materials are provided for up to 6 different groups to play at one time.
**Versions with and without QR codes included!
Students try and solve clues and questions to breakout and escape the classroom. You, the teacher, can decide how much time your students have to complete the task. I suggest 45 minutes, but it is up to your discretion. You can project a timer for your class, or put one somewhere for all the students to see, so they can keep track of how much time they have left to complete their task.
This is similar to a scavenger hunt where students will be moving around the room, looking for clues to unlock their envelopes (I have included riddles and suggestions on where to hide each clue). A paper is provided so students can write their work down. For many of the questions, students must have an answer that matches one on an envelope. If the answers do not match, they can’t open or “unlock” the envelope, and must rework the question.
*Everything is included, however teachers must provide their own envelopes.
I give step by step instructions on how to set up the game, including pictures! This is sure to capture the attention of your students.

I did this as a whole class activity. My students LOVED it! Prep for this took 20 minutes at most – the directions are VERY VERY clear for set up. The students were very engaged and took 38 minutes to “escape.”
Macey H. –
Wish I had found it earlier and was able to use it this year….plans for next year.
Donna S. –
This is an amazing product! It takes a little while to set up, but once you get the hang of it, it is just a matter of “time to assemble”. Clear some space on your coffee table, put on movie, and you’re good to go. This is the third “Escape Room” I’ve purchased because I love them so much. The kids do to! It doesn’t just encourage cooperation, it demands it. The problems are just right for a mix of learners, and make an excellent review of a topic. I will be purchasing more of these in the future. My students are so excited for the next one!
