About

Budding inventors or engineers in the family? If you're looking for a great value, fun family activity to put your problem solving skills to the test this Easter then this is for you. 

Problem: our LEGO® people need help to descend the treacherous zipline. 

Solution: Can you build a carriage to help them descend safely and quickly?

Test your design to see how fast your LEGO® figure can descend the zip line. Can you improve your design?
