# Lunchabuilds (Lunchables · 2022)

## Insight
Lunchables is designed to be assembled by kids. The brand truth is constructability — every product is a modular food system. That's also the exact appeal of Minecraft.

## Mechanic
Lunchables partnered with Minecraft to let kids build virtual Lunchabuilds — elaborate Minecraft constructions made entirely of Lunchables food items rendered as blocks. User creations were featured in brand content and playable by others.

## Why it worked
The mechanic is native to both the product (assembly, construction) and the platform (Minecraft block building). UGC generates brand content for free; the Minecraft context provides the audience and the creative framework. Kids are the authors.

## Steal
Find the platform where your audience already spends time doing something that structurally mirrors your product's core mechanic. The crossover is the campaign.
