Designed for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students, this engaging escape room–style math activity builds number fluency, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills—all while students solve a mysterious case of stolen potion ingredients!

The Mystery:

A witch is in trouble! Her magical ingredients—Dead Sea Salt, Vile Toad Skin, and Snake Skull—have mysteriously vanished under the full moon. She needs your students' math detective skills to uncover who stole them. Can your class crack the case?

What's Included:

  • Subtraction from 100 with 2-digit numbers
  • 3-digit addition with regrouping
  • 3-digit subtraction from 1000
  • Mixed 3-digit addition and subtraction
  • Multi-digit addition
  • Word problems involving addition and subtraction
  • Color and black & white versions
  • Answer sheets included

Suggested Uses:

Perfect for Halloween math centers, October early finisher tasks, or fun homework. Great for review, sub plans, or even end-of-term challenges. These math worksheets are ideal for independent learning, and work great in homeschool settings too.

This escape-room inspired mystery works without locks! Instead, students eliminate suspects as they solve each puzzle and get closer to finding the culprit. The storyline and puzzles keep them motivated from start to finish.
