The Creeper Ambush Reviews
A Decent Blend of Creativity and Adventure with Minecraft — “This Minecraft adventure set is a compact package that offers a fair bit of entertainment, especially for the younger audience. It features Steve, one of the game's iconic characters, along with a baby pig, a baby chicken, and an Exploding Creeper, which adds a touch of... More authenticity for Minecraft fans.”
“Minecraft adventure set is a middle-of-the-road offering. It has its moments of fun and creativity, but it might not hold lasting appeal for all. It's a decent choice for younger kids or for those new to Minecraft, but seasoned players might find it lacking in depth and... More complexity.”

Big fun in a small set for Minecraft players
There’s lots to keep kids busy in this compact, classic Minecraft adventure. One of the game’s hero characters, Steve, is joined by a baby pig, a baby chicken and an Exploding Creeper. First, kids get creative with iron ore at the crafting table. Then they care for the animals, tend their sugarcane crop and decorate the scene with poppies. Next, they use a sword to battle the dreaded Exploding Creeper. The battle culminates in kids pushing the special detonation block, which blasts the Exploding Creeper into the air. When the action’s over for the day, this fun-filled set looks great on display in kids’ rooms.
