Write a survival guidebook, then test it on a real newbie. Do they make it?
A newbie spawns with nothing. Night is coming. Your guidebook is the only thing between them and the zombies.

- Mode Survival
- Time 35–45 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Write a survival guidebook with clear numbered steps, pro tips and one big danger warning. Build a Newbie Station near spawn with a starter kit and your guide on a lectern. Then test it on a real newbie, stay silent, and rewrite any step that trips them up.
Finish line: Your tested, rewritten guide is signed and waiting on a lectern for the next newbie.
Bonus challenge: Add a 'Help, I'm Lost!' page with 3 fixes for disasters, then test the guide on a second newbie. Do they beat the first score?
You’ll need
- A Book and Quill
- A lectern
- A chest with a starter kit
- A family member as the newbie
- A timer
You choose
- The newbie's goal (first night, stone tools, a hot meal)
- What goes in the starter kit chest
- Your guidebook's dramatic title
Stuck?
- Start every step with an action word like Chop, Craft or Place.
- Don't talk during the test, even when it's hard. The book has to do the work.
- Run the test near spawn in daylight to keep it safe.
