Build a giant subway map wall and a ride guide a newcomer can follow alone.

Real subway maps secretly bend the truth. Make yours, then see if someone can ride your City alone.

  • New skill Building a map wall with coloured blocks

What you’ll build

Design a subway-style diagram map with straight lines at set angles, evenly spaced stations and one colour per route. Build it as a giant wall in your station with a key, write a how-to-ride guide, then see if a family member can plan a trip alone and fix where they got stuck.

Finish line: Your giant map wall shows every line in colour with a key, and your ride guide passed the stranger test.

Bonus challenge: Add journey times between stations to your map, using your speeds from Missions 236 and 238.

You’ll need

  • Concrete or wool in many colours
  • Signs for the key
  • A tester

You choose

  • A colour for each line
  • Line names and station names
  • Map wall size and location

Stuck?

  • Map looking messy? Stick to 0°, 45° and 90° lines only. That's what makes diagram maps easy to read.
  • Space stations evenly, but keep them in the right order with the right connections.
  • Tester stuck? Don't explain. Fix that part of the guide instead.
