Mission Control, a whole-house game for children

A Dockerised game, mostly written by Claude Code, that sets children missions using smart lights and doors and checks Home Assistant to see when they finish.

The full story

Mission Control turns a house into a game for children using smart devices they can safely touch, such as lights and doors. It sets missions, starts a timer, polls Home Assistant to see when each is done and gives a game summary, playing through phone or PC speakers, networked speakers or an Apple TV.

The poster says Claude Code wrote the bulk of the code while they set the architecture and design, reviewed the code and tested it. It ships with a dev Home Assistant instance for testing and needs OpenRouter and ElevenLabs API keys.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count).
