What you’ll build
Build a grand library guarded by a giant sphinx. Write five riddles in a book and quill and place it on a lectern, then set up three chests with signs where only one sign tells the truth. A family member must survive the riddles and pick the right chest before they run out of lives.
Finish line: Your sphinx library has five riddles, a truth-or-lies chest puzzle and a final lives count.
Bonus challenge: Add a riddle whose answer is an object hidden somewhere in the library. The guest must find it to win back a life.
You’ll need
- A book and quill
- A lectern
- 3 chests
- Signs
- Bookshelves
- A family member to play
You choose
- My sphinx's name
- My hardest riddle's answer
- A silly forfeit for losing
Stuck?
- A book and quill needs a book, an ink sac and a feather. Leave it unsigned if you want to keep editing.
- A lectern is 4 wooden slabs and a bookshelf. Hold the book and tap the lectern to place it.
- Test your truth-or-lies chests: only one sign can be true, and that must point to exactly one chest.
