Map the whole Ancient City to scale from a safe lookout.

You can't sneak through a city you don't know. Climb high, stay still and map every street from afar.

  • New skill Scouting with a spyglass
  • Level 5 · Mysteries & Monsters
  • Difficulty Intermediate
  • Mode Survival
  • Time 40–60 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Sneak back to your lookout with your partner and build a small hidden ledge high on the cave wall. Scan the Ancient City through your spyglass, starting from the great gate in the middle. Note key coordinates around the edge, then draw a scale map with danger zones in red and a quiet route in green.

Finish line: Your scale spy map shows streets, chests and shriekers, with a quiet green route marked.

Bonus challenge: Hide your map in a chest at the lookout with a coded label only your team can read. Then quiz a family member: "Where's the nearest shrieker?".

You’ll need

  • A spyglass
  • Squared paper
  • Building blocks
  • An experienced player alongside

You choose

  • My map's code name
  • Symbols for shriekers, chests and danger
  • The street that looks safest

Stuck?

  • Shriekers can summon the Warden. Spot them from your ledge and mark every one in red.
  • Sneak along the edges to read coordinates. Never cut through the middle of the city.
  • Use the spyglass from your ledge instead of walking in. Every step through the sculk risks a shriek.
