Build a hidden lookout and track your top suspect for a full Mystery day.
The top suspect says they never left home. Hide, watch and log every move they make for one whole day.

- Level 5 · Mysteries & Monsters
- Difficulty Intermediate
- Mode Survival
- Time 30–40 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Pick the villager playing your top suspect and build a camouflaged hide nearby with a sealed door and a tiny window. Every game hour, check on them with your spyglass and log where they are. Stay sealed in through the night, then compare your log with their alibi at sunrise.
Finish line: Your stake-out log covers a full game day and proves or breaks one suspect's alibi.
Bonus challenge: Stake out a second suspect the next day. Do all villagers keep the same routine, or does each job do something different?
You’ll need
- A spyglass
- A stopwatch
- Tinted glass (optional)
- Food
- Torches
- Building blocks
You choose
- My hide's disguise (bush, rock or barrel stack)
- The suspect I'm watching
- My bet for when they go to bed
Stuck?
- Villagers work, wander, gather near the bell and go to bed at night, so expect them to move around.
- Tinted glass lets you see out while keeping your torchlight hidden inside the hide.
- Seal the hide fully and light the inside. Monsters will be out all night.
