Secret Base Entrance

Let's build a super cool secret entrance. Only YOU know the secret knock!

Secret Base Entrance

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.

How to build it

Step 1 is always free. Visual cards for the rest are part of the build pack.

  1. 1Step 1 of 6

    First, make a floor base with 3 square tiles in a line. That's for our secret door to stand on!

  2. 2Step 2 of 6

    Now, stand 2 square tiles up on the ends of your floor base, like two walls.

  3. 3Step 3 of 6

    Put one square on top of these two 'walls' to make a doorway. That's your entrance!

  4. 4Step 4 of 6

    Add the window tile above your doorway, that's your secret security camera.

  5. 5Step 5 of 6

    Place the two triangle tiles on the sides of your entrance as 'danger' warning signs for grown-ups!

  6. 6Step 6 of 6

    Carefully push your secret entrance against a wall corner so it doesn't fall over.

If it falls off

Make sure your floor base is completely flat, or try making the entrance shorter.

Make it easier

Just build the doorway with 3 squares and skip the camera and warning signs.

Make it bigger

Add more floor tiles and more wall tiles to make a longer secret tunnel entrance.

Chaos upgrade

Add a square inside as a secret button – but NEVER press it!
