Emergency Exit Arch

Build a super cool emergency exit sign! It's an arch, so you can peek through it!

Emergency Exit Arch

Stick it to

Do the Stick Test

Try one tile. If it sticks, ask: is it stable, safe, clean, cool, and not important? If yes, proceed with mild chaos.

Safety: Avoid anything hot, sharp, electrical, fragile, dirty, unstable, or likely to annoy another adult.

    Connect the tops of the two standing squares with the remaining square tile.

If it falls off

Make sure all the magnets are clicked together firmly, or try building on a stable, flat surface.

Make it easier

Just build the arch with two squares on the bottom and one on top, skipping the extra triangles.

Make it bigger

Build two arches and connect them side-by-side to make a long tunnel exit!

Chaos upgrade

Add a secret button inside the arch that makes funny noises when pressed.
