Build a Detective HQ with a clue wall of item frames and a secret exit.
Every great detective needs a base: a clue wall, a hidden exit and a lamp burning late into the night.
- New skill Displaying clues in item frames
- Level 5 · Mysteries & Monsters
- Difficulty Intermediate
- Mode Survival
- Time 40–60 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Every good detective needs a headquarters. Build a Detective HQ with a desk, map table and bed, then craft item frames to make a clue wall for your night-one evidence. Label each clue with a sign, add a secret exit only you know about, and pin the place the explorer was last seen at the top.
Finish line: Your HQ has a clue wall of real evidence, a sign under every clue and a hidden way out.
Bonus challenge: Make a glow item frame (item frame + glow ink sac from a glow squid) for your most important clue, so it shines in the dark.
You’ll need
- Leather from cows
- Sticks
- Night-one evidence
- Signs
- Building blocks
You choose
- My agency's name and motto
- Clue wall layout: grid, circle or timeline
- Where my secret exit leads
Stuck?
- Item frames need 8 sticks around 1 leather. Cows drop leather, so collect a few before you start.
- To put a clue in a frame, hold the item and tap the frame. Tap the framed item again to turn it.
- Hitting a framed item knocks it out. Hit it again and the frame breaks too, so go gently.
