Built together

Small pieces. Big imaginations.

Builders ranked by pieces currently in the world.

    Gold, silver and bronze celebrate ranks 1–3. Each piece on the canvas counts, including free builds and The Origin seed. Removed pieces stop counting. Equal totals share a rank and trophy.

    A place made of us.

    A small idea becomes something you can point to and say: I made that.

    Build a little corner of a shared world. Make it colorful, strange, quiet, or entirely your own. Someone else’s imagination can begin beside yours.

    How it works

    Make your mark.
    One piece at a time.

    A shared world, built by everyone. Bring a small idea and give it a place.

    Checking payment availability…

    1. Find your spot

      Look around freely. Sign in with Google when you’re ready to build. Choose Add a piece for one block, or Select area and drag a rectangle for a larger idea.

    2. Make it yours

      Start with a simple shape. Change its corners, color and size, add images, or switch off the studs for a smooth top. Show your name or link your piece to a website.

    3. Place it. Build on it.

      Each piece costs $0.50 USD, whatever its shape. Preview your spot before you place it. Use Share to send friends straight to your creation.

    Room to build, without interruptions

    Select an area of up to 10,000 grid cells. Each cell needs one piece in your balance; the purchase review subtracts pieces you already have.

    Choose Lock for 2 hours to keep that area for yourself while you work. You can reserve empty cells or cells containing only your pieces. You can have one active area at a time.

    Choose Finish building to open it to others, or let the timer run out. Placing your last piece keeps the lock until then. Unused pieces stay in your balance.

    Move, redesign and stack

    Click a piece you own and choose Move piece or Redesign. Changes are free while nothing is stacked or reserved above it. Preview your changes, then choose Save changes.

    Flat tops can support more pieces, even with studs switched off. Sloped and pointed tops stop further stacking. Each grid column has a height limit.

    Look around with mouse or touch

    Drag to pan without signing in. Turn on Rotate view when you want dragging to rotate the world.

    Mouse
    Drag to pan · Rotate view + drag to rotate · Shift + drag always pans · Ctrl + scroll to zoom
    Touch
    Drag to pan · Pinch to zoom · Twist two fingers to rotate · Move two fingers together to pan. Two-finger controls work with Rotate view off; with Rotate view on, one finger also rotates.
    Draft a whole creation

    Open Studio for a private canvas with up to 100 pieces per draft. Each addition is saved to your account. See your piece count and cost as you build, then choose where the whole creation goes on the shared world and publish it together. Drafts do not reserve space; use Select area when you need a temporary lock. We check the space again when you publish.

    Appreciate and care for the canvas

    Open a block and tap the heart to appreciate its creation. Each person gets one heart per creation. Use Report block if an image, link, or other content needs review. Reports are private to moderators.

    Payments and rankings

    Purchases use Stripe’s checkout. Your pieces are added after payment is confirmed. Confirmation happens automatically when you return. If checkout is interrupted, choose Add one piece, then Continue checkout to finish the same purchase.

    Rankings lists the top 50 builders by pieces currently on the canvas. Free builds count; unused credits do not. Removing a piece lowers its owner’s total, while moving it keeps the total. Gold, silver and bronze trophies celebrate ranks 1–3; equal totals share a rank and trophy. The Origin is labeled as our seed build.

    Choosing a website link for a block replaces its name in the block details. Rankings still show your account’s display name. Your email stays private.
