Build one street twice, as 1900 and today, then run a spot-the-change game.

The time machine glitched mid-street. One side is stuck in 1900, the other is today. Spot every change.

What you’ll build

Build the same street twice, side by side: one in 1900 with cobbles, lanterns and a horse and cart, and one today with glass shopfronts and traffic lights. Sneak in ten changes, then challenge someone to spot them all before time runs out.

Finish line: Your then-and-now street is built, the spot-the-change game is scored and your 1900 front page is read.

Bonus challenge: Build a third version: the same street in 2100. Hide 5 more changes and see if anyone can spot what the future added.

You’ll need

  • Cobblestone
  • Lanterns and fences
  • Glass
  • Redstone lamps
  • A timer
  • A family member

You choose

  • My street's name
  • The 10 changes I'll hide: on page 2
  • My bet: they'll find ___ out of 10

Stuck?

  • Streets not matching? Build the 1900 version first, then copy each building's shape exactly.
  • Changes too easy? Mix big changes with small ones, like a sign or a window shape.
  • Keep your list of 10 changes secret so you can reveal the ones they missed.
