The 3D layout of the three-building cluster shows how each piece will support or be supported by its neighbors. The central building (back) is internally supported with a pneumatic piston, while the surrounding buildings are only externally supported. The central building has three puzzle parts on top of its foundation, while the adjacent buildings have two. When players correctly assemble a building, LEDs embedded in the base of the building will light up. As shown in the layout, this cluster will be repeated multiple times over to fill the room. The floor of the room will be covered in a grid of gym mats that are similar in size to the base of the buildings (shown in grey).

This translucent exploded view shows the internal details of the buildings. The main building (center) houses a pneumatic piston in its foundation that will be raised upon guests entering the room and lower after the 3-minute time limit. In that time, players must correctly place the seven loose pieces shown here and support them properly with the external bridge supports (not shown). Each building also contains metal bolt contacts at the interface of the surfaces, which will provide the electrical connection required to light up the LEDs when the building is correctly assembled.

Once the buildings are properly assembled, the bolts will come into contact and complete the circuit, lighting up the LEDs embedded in the base of each building. The through hole for the piston in the main building has a 0.125” tolerance to ensure precise alignment of the blocks and the bolt heads. Further details on the circuit construction are shown below.

Lights at the base of each building illuminate once the building is properly assembled. A circuit connecting the LEDs runs through the interior with connectors interfacing between each section. Floor mats cover the power cords and provide cushioning as pieces are repeatedly dropped during construction.

Once properly assembled, the circuit is complete and the LEDs light up, providing positive feedback.
