Your mission...

Made in... Lego

Make the most memorable part of a followthethings.com story out of Lego.

Mission Information

Have a look through the departments in the online store followthethings.com. Click on something that you buy, eat, use, and maybe couldn't do without! Read the page, watch the clips, find out who makes that thing where and what their work and lives are like.

Here's the question:
what sticks in your mind about the places, people and processes that get that thing to you?

Here's the task:
make that image out of Lego.*

Then what?
photograph it;
write a caption (what does this show?);
add the name of the film, art work, etc. and the followthethings.com page link;
and email this photo and information to us.

Tip: have a look at the 'Made in...' Lego photo set here to get some ideas and inspiration. This is where your photo and caption will end up.

[* if you don't have enough Lego, or any Lego, other construction or craft materials are just as good]

Emailing:
If you're 13 or over, please email your photo and information to followthethings@yahoo.com. If you're younger, please email this to hello@missionexplore.net. Please make sure to include the name of this mission in the title of your email. Once we get this, we will then send you the secret code to unlock your points.

Bonus Question!

If you want to do more, make a series of Lego scenes that tell the whole story of something's life, from field or factory to shops and homes. Make a stopframe animation that shows the hidden relationships between the people who make, transport, sell and use that thing. If you're 13 or over, email the movie file to us at followthethings@yahoo.com. If you're younger, send it to hello@missionexplore.net. We'll send you a secret code to unlock your points, and post your video in our flickr "Made in...' Lego set.

Mission Risk: Low

Low. This should be easy but take care.

Making things out of Lego is not at all dangerous, unless you make a sandwich that is so realistic that you eat it! Please don't do that.

Risky business

It's your job to survive your explorations intact.

To increase your chances of success complete our training and safety tips before starting. That way you are more likely to win points and keep your head on.
