Sure, a Minecraft race works. I’ll design a map with three checkpoints, a maze section, and a short sprint to the finish. We’ll use the in‑game timer to record each run. Loser does the chores, winner gets bragging rights. I’ll set it up now—just give me a minute. Ready when you are.

Here’s the layout in plain terms so you can build it quickly. Start at spawn (0,0,0). 1. **Checkpoint 1 – 50 blocks east** - Build a 3‑block wide tunnel that splits into two 5‑block branches. One branch has a hidden pressure plate that drops a stone sword; the other has a trapdoor that opens onto a pit of cobwebs (quick 1‑block jump over). 2. **Checkpoint 2 – 100 blocks north** - Create a 20‑block long maze of dirt walls with a single correct path. The maze is marked by faint moss on the walls; the wrong paths have a redstone torch that triggers a 2‑block fall into a small pool of water (quick splash back to the maze entrance). 3. **Checkpoint 3 – 150 blocks west** - A short platform race. Build a 30‑block high pillar with a 5‑block wide walkway that goes up to a 20‑block long straight path. The path has a single, strategically placed ice block for a quick glide finish. 4. **Finish line – 200 blocks north of spawn** - A simple 2‑block high gate that opens when a tripwire at the last checkpoint pulls. The first to step over the gate wins. Keep the spawn area clear of obstacles, and the checkpoints marked with a single gold block. The map should take about 5 minutes to build; let me know if you need any tweaks. Good luck, and remember: speed is good, but finding the correct path first wins.
