Get your students a device and set them free on this GCSE Maths ‘escape room’ (which actually has multiple rooms).
There are 7 levels, each level has a puzzle and a challenge. The puzzle is not particularly Maths related; the challenges are. This escape room is based around Number (future ones planned around other key areas…), topics covered in the challenges are:
- Times tables
- Long multiplication/division & checking answers
- Definitions (crossword)
- Equivalent fractions
- Percentage of amount
- Adding & Subtracting with negatives
- Currency conversion
There is also a ‘bonus’ at the end which allows a student to catch up if they forgot to write down some key elements whilst moving through the game, this has another 7 Maths questions.
Questions are all pitched around GCSE foundation level.
I hope students (and maybe teachers) will find this fun, it would be a good light-hearted revision lesson or end of term lesson. I imagine most classes will take around an hour completing the game. If they finish early, they could be encouraged to think about designing their own.
There is a ‘login’ on slide 1 which allows teachers to jump to the different levels in one-click with the password.

It's a great resource, but the gym scene is too difficult to find he twinkies.
A great resource that really engaged students. They loved working out the puzzles between them and a very clever piece of technology. The gym Twinkies can be hard at first, but just let the seller know and they were more than happy to help me. I will be using this again with other classes. Even my learning support assistant was really engaged in it. Unfortunately my class didn't complete it within the hour, but I think it may be possible for other classes.
Hi, I have had a practice myself. Really struggling to work the gym scene and cannot find the missing words in the library book
