What you’ll build
Raid a desert temple without setting off the trap. You'll study the building, find the coloured pattern on the floor and dig a careful staircase down beside it. Disarm the trap, open the treasure chests and climb back out the way you came.
Finish line: You opened the treasure chests safely and can explain how the trap works.
Bonus challenge: Look for hidden rooms around the temple, or try a shipwreck treasure hunt next.
