WATCH, OBSERVE, LEARN We also like to call it ‘WOL’ – not to be confused with LOL. The WOL method is a foolproof method for developing your mastermind skills. Learn from the best in the biz! Some extremely influential masterminds to WOL include Gru (Minions 2 and Despicable Me), the Grinch, Artemis Fowl and many more. Watching these superstars of the craft in their own movies will help you upskill in no time, and there’s definitely no better way to follow in the cunning footsteps of film’s greatest thinkers than from the comfort of your very own lair – uhh, home! CODING IS THE CODEWORD If you’re going to have an arsenal of high-tech gadgets, you better know how to build them! Sure, coding can start off fairly simple, but…

K-Z: Hi Ash! How did you turn moving into a game? A: It was all about how much chaos you can cause in the process of moving. Every game decision is like, ‘How do we maximise fun?’ K-Z: Right, like moving out in space… A: We ended up going into space because space is cool. You fight a giant robot in the very final boss battle because it’s fun. K-Z: Moving Out looks similar to Overcooked. How do you keep the two games distinct? A: What we love from Overcooked is people playing together. We tried to embrace ‘Do whatever you want’ versus giving players strict rules. K-Z: We love a fart joke, and we’re very impressed by the Furniture Arrangement and Relocation Technician (F.A.R.T.)! A: My claim to fame…

FAST FOUR WITH BELLA  KZ: How did you find out about Run2Cure? B: My mum and dad find out about the Run2Cure each year because I have Neuroblastoma.

I learned a lot from the contestants on LEGO Masters! They’re all great LEGO builders, and were always pushing the limits of what LEGO bricks can do. Also, watching how they work as a team is very inspirational. I use 2x4 bricks a lot, because it is an incredibly versatile and useful brick. The 2x4 brick could be part of a car, and the next minute it can be part of a cloud, a tree, or a rocketship! It can be part of anything. My tip for being a master judge is to just be yourself. I love LEGO and watching the contestants make amazing things is very inspiring. Encouraging them to keep going and push the limits means we get the best builds! Build something that you are passionate…

K-Z: Hello Wan! Where did the idea for No Straight Roads come from? W: I love rhythm games, and I’ve played rhythm games for more than 15 years. I’ve always wanted other people to play with me, but they always say, ‘I’ll just watch you play.’ It’s very baffling because everyone loves music, and everyone has a sense of rhythm to a certain degree. When you listen to music, when you hear it five times, you understand when the chorus will kick in before it does. I want people to use that instinct to play the game. K-Z: How is No Straight Roads different to rhythm games? W: In a rhythm game, bars fall down in a line, but for No Straight Roads, it’s enemies attacking. You don’t have to…

Have secret superpowers: Darryl! The way he flew for marks back in the day, surely he had a superpower. Play an instrument: Me. I played in school band for a long time. I was the cool chick in the band… The bass player! THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY TIME ON THE SHOW SO FAR HAS BEEN… Interviewing Eddie Betts. He is someone a lot of people would look up to, and so have I. Being able to share 30 minutes with him and get to know him was pretty…

K-Z: Hi Alex and Jackson! Congrats on winning LEGO Masters! What did you learn during your time on the show? A+J: We learned so much about working as a team. Our best ideas were ones that we would come up with together. We learned we could be so much stronger in the competition if we listened to each other and worked together to create the best build possible. K-Z: Which challenge ended up being the most difficult for you? A+J: The most difficult challenge was easily the hanging brick! It was a technically demanding challenge and really pushed us to our limits. However, we would both have to say that the most daunting challenge was the Final Build. It’s hard to know what to build when you can build absolutely…

NAT AMOORE Nat is the author of the new book, The Power of Positive Pranking, which follows the outrageous story of three friends, one greedy mayor and a whole lot of pranking for the greater good! FICTION VS REALITY “While I changed names to protect the innocent (and the guilty), some pranks in the book are based on my experiences. One of my pranks that isn’t in the book was when I rubbed Tiger Balm on the butt of my friend’s costume before his first trapeze show. As he started to move and the lycra started to rub, things started to warm up! By the end of the show, he could barely stand still – his butt felt like it was on fire!” SUPPORTING A CAUSE “Every voice matters. Being…

Meet Jake Strasser, a game developer at House House. The Melbourne company has released Push Me Pull You and Untitled Goose Game! K-Z : Hi Jake! What experience did you have before this job? J: I studied filmmaking at university and wanted to be a film director before I started to make games. I was always excited about videogames, but the idea of making them seemed impossible! The four of us started by playing games together and talking about what we were playing. When we decided to make our own videogame (which became Push Me Pull You), we had almost no experience, but wanted to give it a go! House House started out like a very serious hobby, and we’ve been lucky that it’s slowly morphed over time into a…
