“Brick facts you didn’t know you needed, tips for using bricks to boost creativity at work, and a few jokes to brighten your day…maybe. “
If teamwork is the engine, bricks are the high‑octane creativity fuel—colourful, stackable, and occasionally stepped on by accident.
The Brick Facts You Didn’t Know You Needed
- LEGO® is one of the world’s most recognisable brands.
- The bricks made today still perfectly fit those made in 1958.
- Minifigures are technically the world’s largest population (which means if they ever unionise, we’re in trouble!).
- During the Christmas season, almost 28 LEGO sets are sold every second (normally 7 sets per second).
- The LEGO® group of companies is the world’s largest manufacturer of tyres (well, that was wheelie surprising to learn!).
- All the different LEGO® types of bricks interconnect. Technic to the regular LEGO® bricks, the regular LEGO® brick to DUPLO, etc. Go try it out.

Tips for Using Bricks to Boost Creativity at Work
- Do a ‘60‑second challenge’ — set a timer and see who can build the tallest tower that doesn’t immediately fall over.
- Do a ‘wrong-hand’ challenge – everyone must build with only one hand….their non-dominant hand.
- Make it competitive (in a nice way) — award prizes like “Most Creative,” “Most Structural Integrity,” and “Best Attempt That Looked Better in Your Head.”
- Blindfold Build – One person describes, one person builds. Chaos guaranteed.
- Corporate Mascot Build – Build your team mascot… then pitch it like you’re on Shark Tank.
- LEGO® Relay – Build a model in teams, but switch builders every 30 seconds.
