Let's dive into how you can set up this innovative build-a-figure station, transform your event space, and create memories to last a lifetime.

Setting Up Your DIY Build-a-Figure Station

The heart of this gender reveal game is the build-a-figure station which we offer supplies for and can customise with specific requests if needed, see here. The setup invites guests to craft their own "guess" on the baby’s gender. This setup, made from our durable blue and pink basic bricks, doubles as both a fun game and an activation space that enhances the baby shower theme. Here’s a step-by-step guide to create an immersive, captivating station with Bricktastics products.

Organizing the Minifigure Parts and Trays

Imagine a bright, inviting table adorned with Bricktastics trays. Use our sturdy, colorful basic bricks to build two separate trays — one blue and one pink — to differentiate the minifigure parts for "boy" and "girl" guesses. Each tray can hold a variety of pre-loved LEGO minifigure parts, organized into heads, torsos, legs, and accessories. This setup lets guests easily browse parts and build their ideal figure to match their guess.

Using pre-loved LEGO pieces not only adds charm but also promotes sustainability, making your event eco-friendly as well as fun. The assortment of minifigure parts — from happy faces and quirky expressions to a range of outfits and accessories — ensures each guest can build a truly unique minifigure for their guess.

Setting the Scene with DIY Decor

To add a festive, interactive touch, set up a chalkboard sign with simple instructions for guests, encouraging them to build a figure based on their guess. Surround the setup with balloons in blue and pink, along with fun baby shower decorations that draw guests into the activity. This decor, coupled with the playful colors of the blue and pink trays, makes the station a real focal point of the party, instantly engaging your guests. You can use Jars to hold people guests and string and paper name tags for guests to attach their names to their "guess figures"

The Big Reveal and Prize Giveaways

After everyone has placed their guesses, it’s time for the grand reveal! Imagine a drumroll as you announce the gender, creating a thrilling moment of suspense. For guests who guessed correctly, a small prize awaits. The prizes could include Bricktastics minifigure kits, pre-loved LEGO accessories, or custom Bricktastics gift packs, adding an extra layer of fun and excitement.

This simple, DIY setup brings guests together in laughter and friendly competition, making your baby shower not only a celebration of new life but a creative and memorable experience for everyone. The build-a-figure game is a hit among all ages, ensuring that everyone, from kids to grandparents, are part of the action, and don't be surprised if people keep building figures even after the game has finished!
