What you’ll build
Study one ruined building and draw which blocks survived and which are missing. Make the explorer's building kit of terracotta and mud bricks, then build a restored twin right beside the original, copying mirror walls where the evidence is gone. Label each wall as evidence or best guess.
Finish line: Your restored twin stands beside the original ruin, with every wall marked evidence or best guess.
Bonus challenge: Restore a second ruined building in a totally different style, using only the clues. Which one needed more best guesses?
You’ll need
- Clay
- A furnace
- Dirt
- Water bottles
- Wheat
You choose
- The building I'll restore
- What it used to be: watchtower, home or shrine?
- My bet for how much survived: ___%
Stuck?
- Make mud by using a water bottle on dirt. Mud plus wheat makes packed mud, and 4 packed mud make mud bricks.
- Terracotta comes from smelting a clay block, not clay balls. Look for clay in shallow water.
- Leave the original ruin untouched. Build the twin next to it so you can compare before and after.
