Mystery Button

It's super shiny! What happens when you press it? There's only one way to find out!

Mystery Button

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.

If it falls off

Make sure your tiles connect fully to the magnetic surface and each other. Wiggle your tiles to make sure they're stuck tight!

Make it easier

Just use the one square tile and make the 'Press Me!' button.

Make it bigger

Add more triangles around or create a whole panel of mystery buttons!

Chaos upgrade

Add a button that definitely should not be pressed. Uh oh!
