Build a 10-jump rooftop chase and race it 5 times for your true record.
The thief bolts across the rooftops! Build the getaway route, then race it until you know every jump by heart.

What you’ll build
Design a rooftop chase across your village or HQ, with jumps of different sizes, a ladder climb and a finish flag. Put water under every jump as a safety net. Then race the course several times each, with the thief starting ahead, and work out your true record and your speed.
Finish line: Your rooftop chase is safe and tested, with timed runs and a speed for every racer.
Bonus challenge: Add a secret shortcut only the thief knows about. Does it change who wins? Is it still fair?
You’ll need
- Building blocks
- Ladders
- Water buckets
- A banner for the finish
- A stopwatch
- A family member to race
You choose
- My getaway route's name
- My hardest jump (gap, ladder or slime block)
- Who plays the thief first
Stuck?
- Gaps of up to 3 blocks are fair. Wider gaps need a perfect sprint jump.
- Water under every jump stops fall damage. Check there's no spot where you could miss the pool.
- Ladders need a solid block behind them, so place them against a wall.
