Let's Go Build A ____ is a small browser game by David King that gives you one thing to build each day out of plastic-style bricks. You have a budget of 20 bricks, a palette of colours and a handful of shapes, and the fun is in getting the idea across with so little.
About Let's Go Build A ____
Let's Go Build A ____ is a browser toy with a daily prompt. Each day the title fills in the blank with something to make, and you assemble it from simple studded bricks on a small baseplate. The catch is the budget: no more than 20 bricks, so a house, a fountain or an album cover has to be suggested rather than modelled in detail.
It was made by David King and released on itch.io in 2020, where it picked up coverage from Rock Paper Shotgun, PCGamesN and others. Players share screenshots of their daily creations with the hashtag #LetsGoBuildA, and the itch.io comments are full of people posting what they made for the day.
There is no score and no right answer: it is a creative exercise rather than a logic puzzle with a solution. Once the daily prompt is done you can ask for random prompts and keep building.
It suits people who like a short, calm creative task with a constraint, and anyone who enjoyed building small things from bricks as a child. The game runs in Unity in the browser and is built for a mouse and keyboard: it loads on a phone, but the screen is small and the controls are made for desktop. It was last updated in April 2020, and the itch.io page still has a 4.3 of 5 rating from 65 players.

Tips
- Decide on the one or two features that make the prompt recognisable and spend most of your bricks there.
- Larger bricks cover more space per brick, so use them for bases and backgrounds.
- Slopes and round bricks give a lot of shape for a single brick.
- Try a random prompt after the daily one for extra practice.
