What you’ll build

Design a puzzle room your family has to escape. You'll build a closed room with an iron door, hide the button that opens it in one chest, and write clues that lead the way. Add a decoy or two, test it yourself, then invite someone to escape.

Finish line: Someone escapes by solving your clues, and you can say how fair the puzzle was.

Bonus challenge: Add a second room with a harder puzzle, like a lever code or a pressure plate hidden in a dark corner.

You’ll need

  • Iron door
  • Buttons
  • Signs
  • Chests
  • Item frames
  • A family member to escape

You choose

  • Theme (dog house, castle, lab)
  • My 3 clues
  • Where I'll hide the button

Stuck?

  • Door not opening? The button must go on a block right next to the iron door.
  • Agree on a no-breaking-blocks rule first. In Creative, anyone can break anything.
  • Test it yourself before inviting anyone. If you can't solve it, neither can they!
