⭐ Solve the case of the missing stamp collector with this 3rd grade math Sherlock Holmes word problem Escape Room & Webscape printable and digital resource activity. Students will solve multiplication, division, measurement, and multi-step word problems. It's the perfect activity for students and teachers itching to engage in a mathematical mystery.
"Dear Watson, I've been assigned the Case of the Missing Stamp Collector. His home was found empty last Tuesday night. I need your help. You must solve the clues in the house to find where he has been taken."
⚷ To find the missing stamp collector, students must complete four exciting challenges. Each challenge includes six skill-focused math problems that students must solve to unlock clues and move to the next challenge. With each correct answer, students reveal part of a secret clue. But beware—incorrect answers reveal incorrect clue words! Students can use the clues to find and fix mistakes. Once all answers are correct, they collect an essential item to help them move closer to solving the mystery.
This activity aligns with CCSS 3.MD.D.8, 3.OA.A.3, and 3.OA.D.8, but it can be used in any classroom to review the following math skills:
✅ Representing and solving multiplication word problems involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities
✅ Representing and solving division word problems involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities
✅ Using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent problems
✅ Solving two-step word problems using the four operations
✅ Assessing the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies
✅ Solving real-world and mathematical problems involving perimeter
✅ Finding the perimeter of polygons when side lengths are given
✅ Finding an unknown side length when the perimeter is given
✅ Solving measurement word problems involving time
⭐ This math word problem escape room comes in the following digital and printable formats:
- Webscape™ Format - This web-based format provides the most interactive and immersive experience possible. It is self-directed, self-correcting, and contains audio. CLICK HERE to try it for yourself! You won't believe how engaging this format is until you try it!
- Google Format - Students complete the exercises in Google Slides. The Detective Decoding Tool is a Google Sheet that self-corrects and tells each student when they can continue to the next challenge.
- Printable Format - Students can use any device to scan QR codes to watch the videos. If no device is available, students can skip the videos and still enjoy the exercise. Students use a printable Detective Decoding Tool and answer sheet to decipher the clues and track their answers.
This Sherlock Holmes themed Math Escape Room is the ultimate no-prep digital/print & go printable activity that will keep your students on their toes. Say goodbye to boring worksheets and hello to an engaging mystery.
⭐ Integrated videos, thematic items, and a fun mystery detective back story come together to engage students while developing, enforcing, and reviewing 3rd grade word problem mathematics skills.
The Webscape and Google Slides versions are self-grading; however, these versions are created to require critical thinking. Students are NOT told which answers are incorrect to prevent guessing and encourage students to think critically about the clues and their responses.
*Please note: The Google Slides format includes embedded videos that are hosted via YouTube. The printable version includes QR codes for these videos. If you plan on using Google or printable formats, please ensure you and your students have access to YouTube. The Webscape version does not require YouTube.

Reviews
Hi there!
We reviewed the activity and found a mistake in the answer choices on Challenge 2 Question 3; however, we could not find any other mistakes in the activity as mentioned in your feedback. I also checked the included answer key and did not find any mistakes. We review and professionally edit all of our activities, but it's possible things get miss things. Thank you for pointing this out so we could fix it. You can get the most recent version from your My Purchases page.
Thanks again,
Jonathan with MagiCore
