Stop, slow, go! Build a cool, colorful traffic light tower with a strong base.

Traffic Light Tower

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 strong and flat on the floor, or try leaning it against a stable wall.

Make it easier

Build a simple two-tile 'L' shape standing in the corner to represent your light.

Make it bigger

Add more layers to your tower, or build a whole city block around your traffic light!

Chaos upgrade

Add a secret button tile that, if pressed, changes all the lights to 'PARTY MODE'!
