Build a gallery with an endless hallway and a one-spot secret picture.

Step inside: the hallway goes on forever. Stand on the gold spot: a pile of chaos becomes a picture.

What you’ll build

Build a gallery of optical tricks: a hallway that shrinks as it goes so it seems to stretch forever, and a scattered picture that only snaps together from one golden spot. Then bring someone in from the side and watch them gasp.

Finish line: Your gallery has an endless-looking hallway and a secret picture that snaps together from the gold spot.

Bonus challenge: Add a third piece of the picture 30 blocks away at triple size. Can you make a word that only reads from the gold spot?

You’ll need

  • Building blocks
  • A gold block
  • Coloured blocks for the picture
  • A family member

You choose

  • My gallery's name
  • My secret picture
  • Who I'll fool first

Stuck?

  • Picture not lining up? Stand exactly on the gold block and check each piece from there as you build.
  • Back half too small? Twice as far away needs to be twice as big.
  • Hallway not fooling anyone? Shrink it evenly at the same spacing all the way down.
