🏗️ The Game

Build Fast. Don't Blow It.

Build or Boom is a frantic kids construction game where players race to stack blocks according to a blueprint card — all while a pressurized detonator ticks down. One wrong move and the foreman goes flying. It's chaotic, hilarious, and wildly replayable. Licensed by Goliath Games — one of the world's largest toy companies — it sold over 100,000 units during its short market run before the license ended.

💥 The Mechanism

The Detonator Changes Everything

The heart of Build or Boom is a patented pressurized detonator handle — squeeze it to send pieces flying the moment someone makes the wrong move. It's the tactile mechanic that makes the game unforgettable and impossible to put down.

📖 The Story

Licensed, Launched — Then COVID Hit

What Happened
100K Units. One Year. A Global Pandemic.
Build or Boom was licensed by Goliath Games — one of the largest toy companies in the world — and hit retail shelves just as COVID-19 shut down global supply chains and retail foot traffic. Despite selling over 100,000 units in just one year, the game was discontinued when the world stopped shopping. It's a proof of concept that never got its fair shot — and a reminder that timing is everything in the toy industry.
