Soil Texture
start
Welcome to the Mud Challenge!
You have been hired to build the new $100 million stadium for the REDS MLB team. The Problem: If the soil has too much Silt, the players will slip and tear their ACLs. If it has too much Clay, the water won't drain and the game will be canceled. The Tool: Your Brain! and soil texture triangle to help find the "Secret Code" to find the only soil texture that allows a game to be played in the rain without turning into a swamp. Use your knowledge and logic to succeed before it's too late! Good luck!
Mission 1
Mission 2
Mission 3
The Scenario: Before you can lay the turf, you have to dig the drainage vaults. Your excavators have pulled up a vertical "core sample" of the earth. To install the sensors at the right depth, you must identify the layers of the soil profile.
Mission 1: The "Deep Foundation" Dig
Let's go!
The first Combination of the "secrete Code" for finding the perfect soil for the turf is...
70% Sand
Mission 1
Mission 2
Mission 3
70% Sand
Mission 2: The "ACL" Slip-Test (Soil Texture Triangle)
The Scenario: The Silt-Check is on. You’ve received a shipment of soil from a local vendor, but it looks suspicious. If it’s too silty, the surface will become "greasy" when it rains, and your $50 million quarterback will blow out his knee on a sharp turn.
Let's go!
The second combinations is...
20% silt
Mission 1
Mission 2
Mission 3
20% Silt
70% Sand
Mission 3: The Secrets of Energy
The Scenario: It’s 3 hours until the first pitch and a massive thunderstorm is rolling in. You need to verify the drainage speed of your final "Game Day" mix. If the Clay content is too high, the water won't drain, the field will turn into a swamp, and the game will be canceled.
Let's go!
The third combination of the Secrete Code is...
10% Clay

Congratulations!!
You didn’t just move dirt; you engineered a masterpiece. Because of your mastery of the "Secret Code," the $100 million stadium is officially open for business. The star athletes are safe, the fans are cheering, and the game goes on—all because you knew how to read the triangle.
