Write a 4-entry time travel diary, hide one fake and see who spots it.

Time travellers keep a diary in case they're lost forever. Yours hides one entry that's a total lie. Spot it?

  • New skill Writing and signing a book
  • Level 7 · Time Travellers
  • Difficulty Intermediate
  • Mode Creative
  • Time 45 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Build a hidden reading nook in your crash shelter with a lectern at its heart. Then write a four-entry time travel diary in a Book and Quill, sneak one convincing lie into it and sign it. Can your detective spot the fake?

Finish line: Your signed diary sits on its lectern with four entries, one sneaky fake and a detective's verdict.

Bonus challenge: Write one extra entry from 100 years in the future, by the stranger who finds your diary. What do they think of you?

You’ll need

  • A Book and Quill
  • A lectern
  • A friend or family member as detective

You choose

  • My diary's title
  • My author name
  • My fake entry is number

Stuck?

  • Finish your edits before you sign! Once a book is signed, it can't be changed.
  • To put the book on the lectern, hold the book and tap the lectern.
  • Make the lie sound real: change one small detail, like a date or the weather, not the whole story.
