Corner Lighthouse Tower
Build a super duper stable lighthouse that stands tall in any corner!
Stick it to
Do the Stick Test
Gently try one tile on the corner edge. If it sticks, congratulations, your wall has bonus play architecture.
Safety: Test gently first. Not all corners are magnetic, and paint may mark if pieces slide.

If it falls off
Make sure your base is super solid, or try building it a little bit shorter.
Make it easier
Build a smaller lighthouse with a smaller base and only stack a few squares high.

Use more squares for the base and stack them super high, adding more window tiles!
Chaos upgrade
Add a special 'light' square on top that spins if you use another magnet to push it gently!
