What you’ll build

Dig out three favourite old missions, pick the one that would make the best game and rebuild it bigger and better. Give it a goal, rules, a way to lose and a score, add a brand-new twist and test it on a player.

Finish line: Your old mission is reborn as a playable game with rules, a score and a brand-new twist.

Bonus challenge: Speed remake: turn a second old mission into a mini game in under 20 minutes. Which remake did your tester like more?

You’ll need

  • Your old mission favourites
  • Building blocks
  • Signs
  • A tester

You choose

  • The old mission I'm remaking
  • The remake's new title

Stuck?
