What you’ll build

Pick the biggest story in your Kingdom and dig up three facts with numbers. Get a real quote from an eyewitness, then write a front page with a sharp opening line and a huge headline. Build a news stand in town and shout the headline.

Finish line: Your front page is written, your news stand is built and the headline is out.

Bonus challenge: Publish a second edition: a Kingdom weather forecast, a 'lost and found' or a wanted poster for the creeper that blew up your wall.

You’ll need

  • Your numbers from earlier missions
  • Signs
  • A Book and Quill and lectern
  • A family member as an eyewitness

You choose

  • Your newspaper's name
  • The big scoop
  • Your eyewitness (who you'll quote)

Stuck?

  • Your opening line should answer who, what, when, where and why.
  • Use facts you can check in the game, not guesses.
  • A short, accurate story beats a long one.
