Explosive Escape


Beginner

Grades 3 - 8

Look for the graphic above
to launch the mission
INTRODUCTION

Build the TNT PowerUp and blast the sandworms before they can escape!

As you might have noticed as you played through the StoryMode levels, MiniGames unlock. MiniGames are represented by moons next to the planets and may be unlocked after completing the main project.

Each MiniGame consists of building a “power-up” or electronic component using the mini breadboard in your Piper Computer Kit. Instead of solving a challenge and moving to the next level, in MiniGames you may play over and over and try to beat your last score or time.

Notes:
  • Any PowerUps built in MiniGames may be used in CreativeMode!
  • Note: Chain Reaction must be completed before unlocking the Explosive Escape mission.

Step 2 TNT PowerUp

TNT PowerUp created! Any block you right-click will turn into TNT. Left-click the TNT block to activate it.

Step 3 Stop Sandworms

Use your TNT ability to stop sandworms from escaping to the surface. Time starts in 5-seconds.
