It is 31 October, Halloween night. Your class is visiting the old Manoir des Corbeaux, and the front door is locked. Octave the ghost has hidden the key in a chest with a five-digit padlock. Students have 40 minutes to solve five puzzles in French, find the code and get out before midnight.
Two levels in one pack. Niveau 1 has English support and a word bank. Niveau 2 is all in French. Both share the same final code, so you can mix levels in one class.
The five puzzles
Les mots d’Halloween: Halloween vocabulary
Halloween et la Toussaint: culture reading, true or false
La potion de la sorcière: numbers in French
Le journal d’Octave: aller, faire, avoir and se déguiser in the present tense
Le message d’Octave: listening to French audio
What’s included
Two student booklets (Niveau 1 and Niveau 2, 10 pages each, PDF and editable Word)
Teacher guide with run sheet, hints, full answer keys, audio transcripts and culture notes (6 pages)
13 classroom slides with the audio built in, plus 2 MP3 files
Printable hint cards, envelope labels, reward card and certificate
Costume description extension and exit ticket
Time: 50–60 minutes · Teams of 3–4 · Years 7–10 · A4 format
The relief teacher run sheet means a non-French speaker can run the game. The audio was produced with AI voice technology in clear, slow French.
Licensed for use by the purchasing teacher and their students only.
