What You’ll Find Inside
Santa's reindeer are missing—and Christmas can't happen until your kids find them!
In Reindeer Rescue, kids become the problem solvers in a Christmas math escape room. A mischievous elf has hidden Santa's reindeer in an enchanted forest, and 9 math puzzle clues stand between them and saving Christmas.
Each solved puzzle reveals another piece of the mystery, turning math practice and review into a mission kids actually want to complete.
Solve the Math. Rescue the Reindeer.
The puzzles weave together a wide variety of math skills, including:
- Multiplication and division
- Addition and subtraction
- Rounding and place value
- Elapsed time
- Even and odd numbers
- Number sense
- Coordinate grids
- Word problems
- Logic and reasoning
- Problem solving
Kids encounter a different challenge with each clue—from Dasher's Hidden Word Match and Cupid's Number Puzzles to Blitzen's Calendar Mystery.
Math Practice Becomes an Adventure
The escape-room format gives kids a reason to keep working when a problem gets tricky. As they solve clues individually or with friends, they're practicing math while also building reasoning, perseverance, and problem-solving confidence.
And there's a pretty compelling deadline: Santa needs those reindeer back before Christmas morning!

My 9 year old has always been reluctantly unenthusiastic about math until we discovered Artful Math! I told her it was alright to take a few days to set all the reindeer free, but she was determined to complete every challenge in one morning!
Loved this, my 3rd grader LOVED this even more! She was challenged just enough to really spark that drive to figure it out and was so super proud of herself when she did. It took the perfect amount of time as well.
Turkey Trouble: A Thanksgiving Math Escape Adventure
My kids loved doing this on Thanksgiving week.
We really enjoyed this today (Thanksgiving). Thank you for making it! Because we didn't have a group - just our own two kids - to add to the excitement, I printed off the Thanksgiving scavenger hunt cards from the Dating Divas (free) and used them to direct the kids to different locations in the house to find an envelope containing one of the Math Escape challenges. They worked as a team to solve the challenges. The challenges were just the right level and were varied enough to keep everyone's interest. When each challenge was completed, the kids I gave them the next scavenger hunt clue to find the next challenge. For us the lock code at the end gave the clue to find a stuffed turkey toy that gobbled. We all had so much fun , even Dad! We are all hoping you will make a Christmas one too!
