Build a code-locked vault and seal a letter to yourself in 5 years.
Five years from now, an older you opens a vault. What's inside depends on what you hide today.

- Level 10 · Legends of Lilora

- Time 45 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Build a hidden vault with fake tunnels and a lever lock full of decoys, so only the right pattern opens the iron door. Write a private letter to yourself five years from now, seal it inside with objects that sum you up, and hang a DO NOT OPEN UNTIL sign.
Finish line: Your letter is sealed in a hidden vault behind a decoy lever lock, waiting for its opening date.
Bonus challenge: Write a paper copy of your letter, seal it in an envelope with the same date and ask a parent to hide it. Two capsules, one future.
You’ll need
- Levers
- Redstone torches
- An iron door
- A Book and Quill
- Objects that sum you up
- A sign
You choose
- My vault's name
- Its hiding place (deep, high or in plain sight)
- My lock: ___ levers, and ___ of them are decoys
Stuck?
- Test every wrong lever combination you can think of. None should open the door.
- Signing the letter locks it for good, so read it through first.
- Write down the real lever code somewhere safe, so future you can get in.
