Find a family member's biggest annoyance and invent a machine to fix it.

- Level 6 · Inventor's Lab

- Mode Creative
- Time 45–60 min

What you’ll build
Ask three people what annoys them most in the game, pick a problem you can solve and sketch three possible fixes. Score them, build the winner, then test it on the person who had the problem and improve it from their feedback.
Finish line: You've busted a real annoyance with a new invention, tested on the person who had the problem.
Bonus challenge: Bust the second-place annoyance too. Can one invention fix both?
You’ll need
- 3 people to interview
- Building and redstone blocks
- A ribbon for the handover
You choose
- The pet hate I'm busting
- My invention's name
- My favourite of my 3 sketches
Stuck?
- Pick a problem you can really solve in the Lab: simple fixes count.
- Watch what your user actually does during the test, not just what they say.
- Change one thing from their feedback, then test again.
