How To Do The Soccer Quest In Build A Boat

Okay, let's talk about the Soccer Quest in Build A Boat for Treasure. It's... a thing. A frustrating, block-smashing, sanity-testing thing.

The Initial Build: "This Will Be Easy!" (Narrator: It Wasn't)

First, you gotta build the boat. I went with the super aerodynamic "brick with wheels" design. Don't judge! It almost worked.

Then the sinking started. The first waterfall? A minor setback. The second? "Okay, maybe I need more balloons..."

Balloon Placement: An Art Form (Sort Of)

Balloons, balloons, everywhere! Too many and you're floating sideways. Too few and you're doing your best impression of the Titanic.

My balloon strategy involved a lot of frantic clicking. There might've been some yelling involved too. No promises.

Honestly, I think I got lucky. Pure, dumb luck.

The Soccer Ball Debacle

The soccer ball. Oh, the soccer ball. A giant, unwieldy sphere of doom.

Pushing it with your boat is like trying to herd cats. Each cat weighs several tons and is made of bouncy blocks.

Here's my hot take: The soccer ball is actively trying to sabotage you. It wants to roll off the edge.

The Unpopular Opinion: Just Ram It!

Forget finesse. Forget strategy. Just slam into that soccer ball with all your might!

Who needs precision when you have raw, unadulterated power? This is how champions are made (maybe).

I may or may not have accidentally destroyed half my boat doing this. Small price to pay for victory!

Navigating the Obstacles (With Varying Degrees of Success)

Waterfalls become manageable. Lasers? Slightly less terrifying. Spinning saw blades? Still awful.

My approach to obstacles was generally "hope for the best and brace for impact." I'm not proud of it, but it's honest.

At one point, my boat was held together with duct tape and sheer willpower. Possibly some glue as well. Don't tell anyone.

The Goal: A Glorious, Blocky Victory

Finally, you reach the goal! The sweet, sweet relief of getting that soccer ball into the net.

Did my boat explode in a shower of bricks upon arrival? Possibly. Was it worth it? Absolutely!

The prize? Who cares! You conquered the Soccer Quest. Bragging rights are all that matter now.

The True Treasure: The Friends We Made Along The Way (Just Kidding, It's the Gold)

Okay, the gold is pretty nice too. It's good for buying more blocks, so you can build another ridiculous boat. The cycle continues!

Let’s be honest: I only finished the Soccer Quest by accident. My boat resembled less a ‘vessel’ and more ‘a pile of junk barely afloat’. I may have needed help from friends (thanks, guys!).

So, good luck with the Soccer Quest. You'll need it. May your boat be strong, your balloons plentiful, and your rage controlled.

And remember, when all else fails, just ram the soccer ball. You might be surprised at what happens!

Bonus tip: Bring snacks. You'll be there a while.
