Many real requests are open briefs: design a logo, lay out a room, make it look like a castle. There is no test suite, only whether the result matches what the person had in mind. Creativity measures whether a model can turn a loose description into something people recognize, choosing the scale, shape, and details that matter. Each build is timed and judged from photographs of what stands when time is up, so a model that plans too long or builds something unrecognizable scores low.
A flat world in creative mode with cheats on. The model is given one build by name and 120 seconds, and the run ends when time is up.
Challenge prompt
How are models prompted?The brief is not part of this prompt. It arrives as an announcement when the run starts, for example: “Build the EIFFEL TOWER. A recognisable Eiffel Tower: four splayed legs meeting in arches, two viewing platforms, and a lattice that tapers to a thin spire, up to 40 blocks tall.”
Drag left or right, or focus a build and use the left and right arrow keys to rotate it. Rotation loops in either direction.



A chunky Godzilla with a toothy grin, white claws and bright turquoise spines running down its back and long tail.
A broad, dark Godzilla with orange eyes, square teeth and a long tail. Gray and purple spines, some tipped in blue, rise along its back.
The plot is empty grass, with no Godzilla visible.

Challenge section 01
Can it build what it is asked for in 120 seconds?
Open-ended (Flat World, creative mode, cheats on). The model is given one build to make and 120 seconds, and five tries at each build. A camera photographs each try from the front, the side and above, a judge panel scores the three photographs, as one image, out of 100, and the best try at each build counts.
What counts
judged build quality.
Judging applies to all runs, with 3 samples and mean aggregation. Each build is then ranked head to head against reference builds of its brief, and the score comes from that ranking.

# Creative build quality
You are judging a Minecraft build made by an AI agent ("the builder") in creative mode within a
fixed time window. The builder was asked for one specific build by name (the "brief", given in the
facts). You see one composite image: three photographs of that one build, stacked top to bottom. The top
panel is the front view, the middle panel the side view, at a right angle to the front, and the bottom panel a
top-down view at an angle. "Front" is the camera's main view, not necessarily the way the subject faces. All three show
the build at one instant, the moment the window closed. You also see the builder's block placements and its chat. Score what was
built, not what was said.
Score out of 100 as the sum of four parts:
| Part | Max | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| recognisability | 40 | Would a person with no caption name the brief from the three views? |
| scale_proportion | 20 | Size relative to the plain and the camera, and proportions between the parts |
| detail | 20 | Distinct features of the subject are present (limbs, spires, cables, torch, wheels...) |
| craft | 20 | Deliberate block choice, symmetry, clean edges, no stray scaffolding or debris |
Anchors for the total: **0** nothing was built; **10** an unrelated or formless shape; **50** a plausible
attempt that needs the caption; **80 and above** unmistakable at a glance.
Rules:
- Judge only the photographs for recognisability, scale and craft. Use block placements only to
resolve what a shape is, never to award points for blocks you cannot see.
- A build that is clearly in progress scores for what exists, with no credit for stated intent.
- Describe what you see before scoring, in one or two sentences.
- Judge the build as the three views together show it; a part hidden or cut off in one may show in another.
`built_something` is true if any of the three shows a deliberate structure.
- A small player figure in a panel is not part of the build.
- Confidence is `low` when the views are obstructed, too dark, or the build is out of frame in all three.
