The Curse Tablet

A Halloween Latin escape room for Latin III

A sheet of lead, scratched with dreadful words. A name, an enemy, a grudge. Someone knelt by the sacred spring, prayed to the goddess, and threw a curse into the water — a genuine Roman dēfīxiō. Curses like this one have survived two thousand years, still legible, still waiting to be read.

Fully self-contained, self-grading, and ready in seconds — just open the link and go. Perfect for a no-prep substitute lesson, a Halloween-week activity, or a stand-alone review day.
