The Challenge

To complete the mystery of Larry Leprechaun’s missing pot of gold your students will work in small groups, use their detective notes, and solve language tasks to discover the culprit. You might want to surprise your students with a pot of gold treat after solving the mystery.

Help! Larry Leprechaun wants to have a Saint Patrick’s Day party for all of his friends, but someone stole his pot of gold! Without it he can’t buy party supplies. Will you find out who has his gold?

St. Patrick’s Day Escape Room Clues and Tasks
