Step-by-step solution for: Halloween Logic Puzzles | Printable & Digital | Free | TPT
It looks like you've uploaded a logic puzzle titled "Haunted House" that involves determining the order in which three people—Gavin, Charlotte, and Abigail—entered and exited a haunted house with multiple entrances and exits. The goal is to deduce who entered through which entrance, how long each person spent inside, and when they finished.
Let’s go step by step to solve this logic puzzle based on the clues provided.
---
There are three entrances:
- Bat (entrance 1)
- Vampire (entrance 2)
- Pumpkin (entrance 3)
Each person enters through one of these entrances and exits through a different one.
We have three people:
- Gavin
- Charlotte
- Abigail
And three exit times:
- 11 minutes
- 15 minutes
- 24 minutes
Also, we know:
> The person who entered through the Bat entrance finished in 15 minutes.
> Charlotte finished after Gavin and didn't enter through the Pumpkin entrance.
> The person who entered through the Vampire entrance was not the one who finished in 11 minutes.
> Abigail finished sometime after Charlotte.

Let’s create a table to organize the data.
| Person | Entered Through | Finished in (min) |
|----------|------------------|--------------------|
| Gavin | ? | ? |
| Charlotte| ? | ? |
| Abigail | ? | ? |
We also need to assign entrance and exit times.
#### Clue 1: "The person who entered through the Bat entrance finished in 15 minutes."
So:
- Bat → 15 minutes
That means whoever went in through Bat, their finish time was 15 min.
#### Clue 2: "Charlotte finished after Gavin and didn’t enter through the Pumpkin entrance."
So:
- Charlotte > Gavin (in time)
- Charlotte ≠ Pumpkin entrance
#### Clue 3: "The person who entered through the Vampire entrance was not the one who finished in 11 minutes."
So:
- Vampire ≠ 11 minutes
#### Clue 4: "Abigail finished sometime after Charlotte."
So:
- Abigail > Charlotte (in time)
Now let’s use this.

Available finish times: 11, 15, 24
From Clue 1: Bat → 15 min
So someone who entered via Bat finished at 15 min.
Now from Clue 3: Vampire ≠ 11 min → so Vampire must be either 15 or 24.
But Bat → 15 min, so if someone entered via Vampire, they can’t finish at 11 min.
So Vampire → 15 or 24
But only one person finishes at 15 min — the one who entered via Bat.
So if Vampire → 15 min, then Vampire = Bat → same person.
But entrances are different per person — each person uses one entrance.
So only one person can enter via Bat.
So the person who entered via Bat finished in 15 min.
Therefore, Vampire cannot be 15 min unless it's the same person, but since each person has one entrance, Vampire ≠ Bat → so Vampire ≠ 15 min?
Wait — no, that’s not necessarily true. One person enters via Bat and finishes in 15 min. Another could enter via Vampire and finish in 15 min? No — because only one person finishes in 15 min.
Yes! Only one person finishes in 15 min.
So:
- The Bat entrant → 15 min
- Therefore, Vampire ≠ 15 min (because only one person finishes in 15 min, and that person used Bat)
- So Vampire → must be 24 min (since 11 is ruled out by clue 3)
Wait — let’s check:
Clue 3: Vampire ≠ 11 min → so Vampire → 15 or 24
But Bat → 15 min → so only one person finishes in 15 min → so if Vampire ≠ 15 min, then Vampire must be 24 min
So:
- Vampire → 24 min
- Bat → 15 min
- Then Pumpkin → must be 11 min (only one left)
So now we have:
| Entrance | Finish Time |
|---------|-------------|
| Bat | 15 min |
| Vampire | 24 min |
| Pumpkin | 11 min |
Now, let’s assign finish times to people.
Finish times: 11, 15, 24
From clue 2: Charlotte finished after Gavin → so Charlotte > Gavin
From clue 4: Abigail finished after Charlotte → Abigail > Charlotte
So the order of finish times must be:
Gavin < Charlotte < Abigail
So the only possible order for finish times is:
- Gavin: 11 min
- Charlotte: 15 min
- Abigail: 24 min
Because 11 < 15 < 24
So:
- Gavin → 11 min
- Charlotte → 15 min
- Abigail → 24 min
Now recall:
- Bat → 15 min → so Charlotte entered via Bat
- Vampire → 24 min → Abigail entered via Vampire
- Pumpkin → 11 min → Gavin entered via Pumpkin
Now check clue 2: Charlotte did not enter through Pumpkin → yes, she entered via Bat → OK
Clue 3: Vampire ≠ 11 min → Abigail entered via Vampire, finished in 24 min → OK
Clue 4: Abigail finished after Charlotte → 24 > 15 → OK
Clue 1: Bat → 15 min → Charlotte → yes
Now let’s fill in the table.

| Person | Entered Through | Finished in (min) |
|------------|------------------|--------------------|
| Gavin | Pumpkin | 11 |
| Charlotte | Bat | 15 |
| Abigail | Vampire | 24 |
Now answer the questions at the bottom:
> Gavin entered the ________ entrance finished in ________ minutes.

Given Information:
There are three entrances:
- Bat (entrance 1)
- Vampire (entrance 2)
- Pumpkin (entrance 3)
Each person enters through one of these entrances and exits through a different one.
We have three people:
- Gavin
- Charlotte
- Abigail
And three exit times:
- 11 minutes
- 15 minutes
- 24 minutes
Also, we know:
> The person who entered through the Bat entrance finished in 15 minutes.
> Charlotte finished after Gavin and didn't enter through the Pumpkin entrance.
> The person who entered through the Vampire entrance was not the one who finished in 11 minutes.
> Abigail finished sometime after Charlotte.

Step-by-step deduction:
Let’s create a table to organize the data.
| Person | Entered Through | Finished in (min) |
|----------|------------------|--------------------|
| Gavin | ? | ? |
| Charlotte| ? | ? |
| Abigail | ? | ? |
We also need to assign entrance and exit times.
#### Clue 1: "The person who entered through the Bat entrance finished in 15 minutes."
So:
- Bat → 15 minutes
That means whoever went in through Bat, their finish time was 15 min.
#### Clue 2: "Charlotte finished after Gavin and didn’t enter through the Pumpkin entrance."
So:
- Charlotte > Gavin (in time)
- Charlotte ≠ Pumpkin entrance
#### Clue 3: "The person who entered through the Vampire entrance was not the one who finished in 11 minutes."
So:
- Vampire ≠ 11 minutes
#### Clue 4: "Abigail finished sometime after Charlotte."
So:
- Abigail > Charlotte (in time)
Now let’s use this.

Step 1: Determine possible finish times.
Available finish times: 11, 15, 24
From Clue 1: Bat → 15 min
So someone who entered via Bat finished at 15 min.
Now from Clue 3: Vampire ≠ 11 min → so Vampire must be either 15 or 24.
But Bat → 15 min, so if someone entered via Vampire, they can’t finish at 11 min.
So Vampire → 15 or 24
But only one person finishes at 15 min — the one who entered via Bat.
So if Vampire → 15 min, then Vampire = Bat → same person.
But entrances are different per person — each person uses one entrance.
So only one person can enter via Bat.
So the person who entered via Bat finished in 15 min.
Therefore, Vampire cannot be 15 min unless it's the same person, but since each person has one entrance, Vampire ≠ Bat → so Vampire ≠ 15 min?
Wait — no, that’s not necessarily true. One person enters via Bat and finishes in 15 min. Another could enter via Vampire and finish in 15 min? No — because only one person finishes in 15 min.
Yes! Only one person finishes in 15 min.
So:
- The Bat entrant → 15 min
- Therefore, Vampire ≠ 15 min (because only one person finishes in 15 min, and that person used Bat)
- So Vampire → must be 24 min (since 11 is ruled out by clue 3)
Wait — let’s check:
Clue 3: Vampire ≠ 11 min → so Vampire → 15 or 24
But Bat → 15 min → so only one person finishes in 15 min → so if Vampire ≠ 15 min, then Vampire must be 24 min
So:
- Vampire → 24 min
- Bat → 15 min
- Then Pumpkin → must be 11 min (only one left)
So now we have:
| Entrance | Finish Time |
|---------|-------------|
| Bat | 15 min |
| Vampire | 24 min |
| Pumpkin | 11 min |
Now, let’s assign finish times to people.
Finish times: 11, 15, 24
From clue 2: Charlotte finished after Gavin → so Charlotte > Gavin
From clue 4: Abigail finished after Charlotte → Abigail > Charlotte
So the order of finish times must be:
Gavin < Charlotte < Abigail
So the only possible order for finish times is:
- Gavin: 11 min
- Charlotte: 15 min
- Abigail: 24 min
Because 11 < 15 < 24
So:
- Gavin → 11 min
- Charlotte → 15 min
- Abigail → 24 min
Now recall:
- Bat → 15 min → so Charlotte entered via Bat
- Vampire → 24 min → Abigail entered via Vampire
- Pumpkin → 11 min → Gavin entered via Pumpkin
Now check clue 2: Charlotte did not enter through Pumpkin → yes, she entered via Bat → OK
Clue 3: Vampire ≠ 11 min → Abigail entered via Vampire, finished in 24 min → OK
Clue 4: Abigail finished after Charlotte → 24 > 15 → OK
Clue 1: Bat → 15 min → Charlotte → yes
Now let’s fill in the table.

| Person | Entered Through | Finished in (min) |
|------------|------------------|--------------------|
| Gavin | Pumpkin | 11 |
