Design challenges

Design challenges come in the Inbox on the Today tab. Characters ask you to make a world, a model, or a scene. Open requests stay at the top of the inbox. Unopened ones show request. Ones you have started show in progress. Finished ones are removed from the list.

New requests come weekly (Mondays). You start with three. After that, each week brings three if you have none left, or one if you still have some waiting. Waiting requests never run out. A request never comes twice, and one character can’t have two requests open at once. With no requests, the request cards are hidden.

Select a request to open its dialogue. Select Help out to move the dialogue on. Select Next ▸ to go on. At the end, select ✦ Accept to start, or Not now to back out.

• World requests start a new scene. The Figs tab fills with the character’s set.
• Model requests open a blank model named after the request. Some start with part of a model (e.g., a jacket template) to work on.
• Scene requests open a blank scene named after the request. Scene requests that come with a set open that set’s scene.

Accepting a model request, or a scene request with no set, starts it. On a free account with no room left, the Free tier limit reached. window shows first.

Accepting a request fills in an Idea planner page with what the request asks for (tags, the pieces it needs, a reference picture, a mood, and storyboard frames). Open it from Ideas › This idea. See Ideas .

On requests you have started (showing in progress), the button changes to Return and takes you straight back to your work.

Rules of a challenge

Scene challenges may rule out parts of World › Build (e.g., locking doors, windows, roofs, or stairs). Ruled-out pieces are crossed out in the catalog and on the pages. Trying to arm one shows the character’s rule or Not part of this challenge. Everything else works as usual.

Finishing a challenge

For world requests, placing enough of the set’s pieces finishes the challenge. The app shows Set complete. with a line of dialogue. The app checks everything you built on its own. The request clears from the Inbox once you select Make a spinning video or Share it with everyone on that card; Keep decorating leaves it open. The Idea planner page lists the set’s pieces from the start, so you can work on it in bits.

For model and scene requests, you finish by sharing with the community. The share sheet fills in Enter: with the challenge name. Selecting Send it in finishes it. The app shows Challenge complete. with a line of dialogue, See what others made (opens the challenge’s page), and Done. The request clears from the Inbox, and the piece gets the ‘finished’ mark. Making it without sharing does not finish it. Turning off Enter: shares it without entering the challenge.

Finishing a design challenge gives 30 star points , once per signed-in account. Finished challenges show as finished on every device signed in to the same account.

Challenge scenes are normal scenes . Once finished, you can keep adding, filming, and building in the scene with no limits.

What others made

Every design challenge has a page of the takes people shared for it. Select See what others made on the request’s message, or on the Challenge complete. card, to open it. The top shows the character’s face and the request with its take count (e.g., A fruit for Todd · 12 takes). Every live take shows below as a card, newest first, figs and scenes together. Select a card to open its page in the same window; ← goes back to the challenge page. A challenge with no takes shows Nobody has shared one yet. Your take is listed once it is live, not while it is in review.
