Build a 5-station coded treasure hunt and time a family member through it.

Five stations. Five different codes. One treasure. Build a hunt so good your family begs for a rematch.

  • New skill Planning a route of clue stations
  • Level 5 · Mysteries & Monsters
  • Difficulty Intermediate
  • Mode Survival
  • Time 15–20 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Put your best codes together in one big treasure hunt. Plan a route of five clue stations, using coded coordinates, banners, first-letter notices, a lever or song puzzle and a final riddle. Walk the route yourself to fix any problems, then time a family member as they race to the treasure.

Finish line: Your five-station coded hunt works from start to finish, and the hunter's time is on the board.

Bonus challenge: Swap roles: your hunter builds a 3-station hunt for you. Who wins the fastest time per station?

You’ll need

  • Signs
  • Banners
  • A treasure chest
  • A timer
  • A family member to hunt

You choose

  • My hunt's name
  • The grand prize
  • My time bet for the hunter: ___ minutes

Stuck?

  • Test the whole route yourself first. One wrong number early on breaks every clue after it.
  • The hunter needs to join your world or take a turn on your device, so plan who plays where.
  • Run the hunt in daylight on Easy, and light each station so mobs don't spawn there.

For grown-ups
