It’s no wonder why the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) was interested in this specific fish as a promotional gift!

It’s a Texas red drum, which represents one of the CCA’s success stories. In the 1970’s, the redfish was overfished and stocks had dwindled to record lows.

Through a series of legislation and fisheries management techniques, the CCA and partner organizations worked to restock the redfish. Because of these efforts, the gulf now supports a healthy redfish population and the fish has become a symbol of conservation done well!

The Client
Mitsubishi Electric, providing innovative electrical products to its clients for more than a century

The Ask
Mitsubishi Electric explained that they were looking for a custom bricks set of one of their E-Series Chiller units, a water-cooled chiller for use in large applications such as hospital units and office buildings. They also wanted to make sure that this set wouldn’t be too difficult to build for someone who might be a stranger to building with bricks.

How We Did It
This custom E-Chiller set was designed working from a bevy of schematics and images shared from Mitsubishi Electric. Some details weren’t able to be captured within the miniature E-Chiller, so for these, our graphics team designed printed bricks that would capture these tiny details, thus keeping them in the set.

The Result
With this custom E-Chiller set, Mitsubishi has an exclusive and unique internal gift and lead magnet to send out and share. The important details of the E-Chiller are represented in this final set, and the build experience is carefully designed to be fun and positive.

If you had told us years ago that a group of adults would build a business around helping other adults get excited about plastic bricks...

We would have said, "Honestly? That sounds amazing."

And that's exactly what happened.

Every day we get to work with creative people, solve interesting challenges, and help bring ideas to life in a way that's a little unexpected.

It's hard not to love a job where "playing with bricks" is a legitimate calendar entry.

The Client
Momentus Technologies, offering cloud-based event planning software used by large venues and event planners around the world

The Ask
For their Illuminate conference, held annually and across multiple continents, Momentus came to us to commission a custom conference giveaway. They wanted this custom set to incorporate their logo, be fun, quirky, and have some sort of movement; something dynamic.

How We Did It
We spent some time considering the Momentus’ starburst logo and how they might use it to create movement. Soon, we had created the concept: a brick-built starburst to match the Momentus logo, built on a platform that would allow the builder to spin the starburst as one would a fidget spinner.

The Result
With this custom Momentus spinner set, Momentus has a fun, quirky giveaway for their conference attendees with plenty of movement. This custom set is fully branded for Momentus, and is one that builders can display on their desks as a reminder of the conference and the brand behind it.

Sometimes our projects scratch a very personal itch instead of a corporate one. That was the case with our recreation of the majestic Iolani Palace.

A client, deeply connected to her Native Hawaiian roots, shared her sentiments: "For me, this isn't just any build. It's a reflection of where I come from as a Native Hawaiian. It embodies the pride of our past and the hope for our future."

At Playwell Bricks, architectural models inspired by significant landmarks like Honolulu's Iolani Palace are among our most cherished projects. These builds are not only a testament to our creativity in capturing signature architectural details but also an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of history that each structure represents.

The day-to-day at Playwell Bricks is honestly a mix of creativity, problem solving, and grown adults getting very excited about tiny plastic bricks.

One minute we’re brainstorming concepts with clients. The next we’re debating the perfect piece for a build, packing sets, testing ideas, hopping on calls, fixing last-minute details, or celebrating a design finally coming together exactly the way we pictured it.

We get to work with creative people, build fun things, solve interesting problems, and make experiences people genuinely remember.

Not a bad way to spend the day, honestly.

Mini can still be mighty!

One of our mini sets (less than 50 pieces) was designed for Tuscaloosa Academy, a private school for students in kindergarten through grade 12 in the state of Alabama, U.S.A.

Tuscaloosa Academy explained that they were hoping to commission a small, custom brick set of their new athletic center. Something that would make the students feel a connection to the new building, as well as more comfortable with the construction activities on campus.

The crew at Tuscaloosa Academy shared the content that they wanted to be embedded in the set’s Build Instructions, which revealed the true meaning of the gift they were giving their students: “As you snap each brick together, imagine the real building being built on our campus. Every brick you place is just like the real work happening at TA. It is one piece at a time, all working together to build something awesome.”

The Client
TAPP, Inc., powering communities and networks with steel power poles

The Ask
With a busy trade-show calendar, they wanted to create a fresh, fun giveaway that stands out and starts meaningful conversations with potential clients.

How We Did It
Playwell Bricks CEO Jason Pyett designed this custom set based on TAPP’s Single Circuit Delta Configuration Pole. After changing the colour of the brick insulators, he turned this set over to Playwell’s graphics team. They created a decal to display the TAPP, Inc.’s logo and name on this set, and then the production crew gathered the sets, and the build instructions were created.

The Result
This custom Single Circuit Delta Configuration Pole set offers TAPP, Inc. an interactive tradeshow gift with huge appeal to engineers in their industry. Once built, these industry insiders will be sure to display it in their workspaces, keeping TAPP, Inc. at the top of their minds the next time they need to place an order.
