Grab 3 things in 3 minutes, swim to a tiny island and survive the night.
The waves dump you on a strip of sand. One tree, endless ocean, no way home. Night comes in 10 minutes.

What you’ll build
Your Odyssey begins on a strip of sand with night closing in. Plan your three grabs, race the clock on shore, then swim to the tiniest island you can find. Build a lit shelter with a secret way in and hold out until sunrise.
Finish line: You made it through your first night on a tiny island, safe inside a lit shelter with a secret door.
Bonus challenge: Plant a sapling so your island grows its own forest. Or open a one-block window at night and count the drowned in the water. Dare you?
You’ll need
- A timer that shows minutes
- Torches (sticks and coal or charcoal)
- Blocks for a shelter
You choose
- My island's castaway name
- My 3 grabs before I swim
- Shelter style: dug into the sand, or a hut on stilts
Stuck?
- No coal yet? Burn a log in a furnace to make charcoal, which works just as well for torches.
- Digging into sand? Sand and gravel fall when you dig underneath, so prop the roof with a solid block like dirt or planks.
- Drowned can lurk in the water after dark, so get your shelter sealed before you need to swim again.
