Mission Possible (formerly Neighbor Missions or Neighborhood Missions; unofficially called Her-Mission Possible by Iskall85 and Mission Impossible by GoodTimesWithScar) was a minigame in Season 10 created by Iskall85, similar to Hermit Challenges from Season 7 and Hermit Dares from Season 9. In this game, a Hermit draws a mission (from the pool prepared by Iskall85) and must comply with its content. The reward for completing the task are Mission Possible Tokens.

History

Causes and the idea

During first weeks of Season 10 Rendog noticed that he and some other Hermits settled in one area around the original spawn. He organized this region into The Neighborhood and its members into Ministry Of Ministers, in which everyone was given tasks. The ministry functioned mainly through meetings and Iskall85 thought that The Neighborhood needed something else.

One day, while having the lunch, Iskall85 got the idea for missions - minigame similar to Hermit Challenges from Season 7, a place where Hermits could get fun, random tasks. Originally he assumed that the game could only be addressed for The Neighborhood members and considered calling it Neighbor Missions or Neighborhood Missions, however, he thought these were not the best names.

Creation of a minigame

First building and missions

The Mission HQ first design.

Iskall85 started implementing this idea on March 20, 2024, he started by building a temporary building for drawing missions. It was located in the center of the Neighborhood, next to the nether portal. He also wrote the first six books containing descriptions of missions. Most of them were focused on building (Missions from #2 to #5) and some related to the Neighborhood (Missions #2 and #3).

Once Iskall85 had some missions, he created a redstone contraption to draw them. When he tested it, he drew Mission #5 and decided that he had to follow the rules and complete it as a quality control. The task was "Build a house on top of another hermit's base", so he recreated regular cartographer villager house on the roof of Rendog's base.

The Mission HQ second design.

In the meantime, Iskall85 slightly changed the design of minigame main location and to complete the building, he placed a book with instructions in it. He also decided that some sort of reward for participants was needed, so he temporarily added it there a chest with ghast tears renamed as Mission Tokens, planning to turn it into some custom items later.

New missions

The next day Iskall85 returned, during the livestream, to create more missions. He also revised six existing ones and modified (improving their form or changing the idea totally) those with which he was not satisfied. After that, none of them made any references to the Neighborhood. He also created many new missions by collaborating with viewers during the livestream, raising their amount to 19.

Relocation of HQ and official name

Some time later it turned out that the location of The Mission HQ was earlier chosen by her for her project, so Iskall85 decided to remove it and build a new one in other location.

In the meantime, he also chose the official name for his minigame, suggested by one of his viewers: Mission Possible. The new name no longer referred to the Neighborhood, which he found great, because he no longer wanted to target the game to members of this region, but to all Hermits. He still assumed that tests of Mission Possible (then he called it a beta test) could include mainly Neighborhood residents, before promoting it more widely.

New Mission HQ.

When looking for a new location Iskall85 considered incorporating it into Monstrosolith, but that would mean giving up the Mission #2 ("Improve this build (The Mission HQ) in any way you see fit."). In the end, he chose an open space north of his base, which is located more centrally between the other bases on the server. In the new building he recreated the original mission drawing contraption. Apart from that, the structure was in the form of a simple cuboid of stone, making a space for completing Mission #2. When the new building was ready, all missions have been placed in the pool, what maked the place functional. Soon after that, Iskall85 convinced Docm77 to be the first to draw his mission.

Later Iskall85 used relocation of The Mission HQ as an opportunity to present the newest mission "Prank your VIEWERS in any way you seem fit [...]". At the beginning of his next episode he showed that original Mission HQ were removed and lied that other Hermits hated his minigame, so he gave up on the whole project. Then he revealed content of Mission #21, new Mission HQ and also announced an official name.

Alpha Phase

After the new headquarters was completed, the Mission Possible was ready to play. Iskall85 started alpha phase, to test the game among the Neighborhood members (Docm77 was considered as "pre-alpha tester"). During the first few days he managed to introduce and persuade to draw the mission Rendog, MumboJumbo, VintageBeef and Stressmonster101. However, Docm77 didn't complete his mission, Rendog and Stressmonster101 came back only to take Mission Tokens.

Xisumavoid was next participant introduced to Mission Possible, who joined after few weeks. He and VintageBeef were the only ones who decided to draw more missions.

The back of the mansion is still unfinished...

Missions

Missions are the main element of the minigame. These are tasks for the players that they are obliged to complete after drawing them. Each participant can only have one mission at a time, unless it is a side mission (however, side missions haven't been created yet). One mission can be drawn by the same person more than once.

The missions were described in written books, created by Iskall85. Each book contains the mission number in the title and a few sentences about the task in the content (no more than first page).

Iskall85 created the missions in such a way that they were fun and not too time-consuming or unbearable to complete. He also gave the opportunity to interpret the challenges in a certain way to complete them in different ways.

VintageBeef (2nd mission, alpha testing)	While VintageBeef was buying The Grandieur apartment from Iskall85, he dropped one extra diamond block in payment. He asked for it back in exchange for the stick. Iskall85 did it without hesitation and thanked for the stick, so VintageBeef considered the mission accomplished.
		PearlescentMoon (2nd mission)	(mission not yet accomplished)
14.	"Using a dice or another randomiser, select a RANDOM hermit and build their face on your base. You are not allowed to take it down until they point it out."	BdoubleO100 (1st mission)	BdoubleO100 made a simple randomiser machine and drew Zedaph, but when he realized the flaw in the machine he repeated the draw and this time he got Skizzleman. BdoubleO100 decided to build both faces and did so as a lawn decoration at his base. He was going to invite Skizzleman and Zedaph to have a chance to see it, but before that happened Skizzleman visited his base while carrying out own mission and he found his face on his own.

(If you bought this book, follow its objective)"	Xisumavoid (2nd mission, alpha testing)	At first Xisumavoid tried to sell it to Iskall85 by blackmailing him that he would not continue participating in Mission Possible. However, Iskall85 did not agree to this and instead he invited iJevin as a next target. When iJevin showed up, they pretended that Iskall85 really wanted to buy the book, but Xisumavoid intends to sell it only to iJevin. They also didn't say what was the content of it.

Unused missions

A list of missions that were created while the project was under construction, but Iskall85 later looked through them again and decided not to use them. This usually meant he was writing a similar mission with the necessary modifications. Only missions 5 and 6 were left unchanged.

No.	Mission	Notes
1.	"Completely buy out a shop in the shopping district."	It was mentioned in the comments that players could choose their own shops, so Iskall85 made a new version specifying that this is not allowed.
2.	"Make this structure look like an actual nice building in the Neighbourhood."	Iskall85 thought this idea was great, but it might be too grindy, so he simplified it with the viewer's suggestion and specified that it was about The Mission HQ.
3.	"Build a permanent building in the Neighbourhood in less than 20 minutes, the timer starts when you close this book."	Iskall85 rephrased it, extended the time to 30 minutes and adjusted the information about time start to the new version of Mission 4 (he first modified 4 and then 3). In the end, he didn't use this idea.
4.	"Build a building in less than 10 minutes and convince another hermit to buy it."	Iskall85 decided that this mission was fine but needed to be rephrased. The main change was to increase the time to 15 minutes to include time to return to base and retrieve resources. There has also been added obligation to move the structure to the buyer's base and information about the start of time after closing the book.
-	"Build a permanent structure in the Neighbourhood in maximum 30 minutes. * The timer starts when you close this book!"	The modified version of mission 3 was not given a number because Iskall85 thought it might be too imposing on others. He decided to think about this idea and ultimately didn't use it.
11.	"Imitate another hermit in conversation until you get called out for being that specific hermit."	This mission has been officially added to the pool during alpha testing and the phase 1 of Mission Possible. It was drawn by ZombieCleo, but they lost the book, so Iskall85 made new one, with slightly changed content, but the task remained the same.

Rewards

Tokens

The main, direct rewards of Mission Possible are mission tokens, one token per each completed mission. They are used to earn secondary rewards and can also be traded between Hermits.

Name	Image	Details
Mission Possible Tokens		Final and official form of tokens of Mission Possible, with custom model. Given automatically after returning the book with the mission after completing it. The main function is to exchange them for Cosmetical Rewards (two tokens to spin the wheel) but token trading between Hermits was also accepted.
Alpha Tokens (or just Mission Tokens)		Ghast tears renamed as Mission Tokens, used as a reward for completing a mission during alpha testing. Participants took them from the chest themselves after completing the mission. From the very beginning it was intended replaced with custom items (which ultimately happened). Iskall85 wrote in Mission Possible instructions book that the alpha tokens "have great value", but currently they have no use yet. It cannot be used to spin the wheel in place of official tokens. Iskall85 planned to use them as currency to acquire The Chosen One hat, but hasn't implemented it yet.

Trivia

• Iskall85 came up with the idea of Mission Possible during lunch.
• Mission #6 is a reference to the Hermit Dare that Grian got from Iskall85 in Season 9. Iskall85 stated that this was the only challenge from an earlier minigame that was reused in Mission Possible.
• The name Mission Possible is a reference to Mission: Impossible film series.
• Stressmonster101 was watching Iskall85's livestream where he was creating missions, but she stopped before that part to avoid spoilers.
• ImpulseSV joked at the that he wouldn't reveal the mission he drew until the next episode. However when he drew the mission, it turned out that the task required him not to show it to viewers, so he ultimately did not reveal its content. In the next episode he made a prank on viewers, that he blew up Magic Mountain and then revealed that it was Mission #21.
• ZombieCleo suspected that thefts of deepslate diamond ores from Docm77's redstone contraptions was caused by Iskall85 and The Glitcher$ are a couple of people carrying out tasks from Mission Possible. However, they did not agree that it would fit the nature of Iskall85's game. ZombieCleo gave two examples of missions that could lead to the case:
  1. "Do it off camera, take a block of diamond from Doc's redstone" [sic]
  2. "Put a diamond ore block into Doc's redstone" [sic]
• ZombieCleo lost Mission #11 book, so Iskall85 made new one, with slightly changed content, but the task remained the same. He send them new book and three Mission Possible Tokens as an compensation, because they had to wait for it 22 days.
• Iskall85 chose copper chest from SmallishBeans' storage room for a treasure chest in Mission #28. Because the task was to take its contents, Iskall85 sent a supply of copper (larger than the contents of the chest) through the postal system, with messages: "Thank you in advance!" and "Pro Tip: Dont store this in your copper chest." [sic]. He did not include any explanations or information about the sender. SmallishBeans was very confused when he received it, but he followed the instructions.
• GoodTimesWithScar thought the game was called Mission Impossible until he read its real name in invitation book.
• GoodTimesWithScar, after drawing his first mission, wanted to keep its content as a secret until the next episode, however, he (probably unknowingly) revealed its number.
