Build a haunted house with a hidden pressure-plate jump-scare and test it.
The explorer's last note mentions a house where 'the walls jump out at you'. Build it. Then lure someone in…
- New skill Wiring a pressure-plate piston trap

- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Build a creepy haunted house with dark wood, cracked windows and a pitch-dark scare room. Hide a pressure plate where visitors must step and wire it to a piston that shoves a white wool ghost out of the wall. Test it, add a shriek, then lead a family member through and score their jump.
Finish line: Your haunted house has a working ghost trap, and every visitor has a scare score.
Bonus challenge: Rig the exit too: a second plate fires a piston that blocks the way out until the visitor steps off. Will they panic?
You’ll need
- Pistons
- A stone pressure plate
- Redstone dust
- White wool
- A note block
- Dark wood
You choose
- My haunted house's name
- My ghost is made of
- My first victim
Stuck?
- Piston pushing the wrong way? It faces away from you when you place it, so stand where the ghost should come from.
- Redstone dust only carries a signal 15 blocks. Keep the piston close to the plate or add a repeater.
- Dark scare room means mobs can spawn in it. Seal it up and check it's empty before your victim arrives.
