Escape Room

Escape Lochdonia Manor using only your maths skills!

At the top of the image are the words "Moving in Up", followed by "Which ladder will you challenge yourself to to climb? Starting at the bottom, change one digit each time as you work your way up from the bottom rung to the door." Below the text are three coloured doors, one red, one blue, one green, with ladders of the same colour below them. Next to each ladder rung is a maths question to answer.

You'll need logic, numeracy sklls and your wits about you to escape Lochdonia Manor.

Work your way through the rooms, find the codes and defeat the guard!
