The Secret Santa mission


by Vladislav Smolyanskyy

It's Christmas, but it's hard to tell that when you're in a white room surrounded by gadgets and devices. The only feeling of Christmas is given by the occasional glance of falling snow behind the frozen window.

A member of a charity, Checkmate Cancer, reached out to us to help brighten up the atmosphere for the children who are experiencing a different kind of Christmas.

We had to help.

However being that we still didn't launch, not even our kickstarter, it was very difficult to come up with a plan of helping. Pinblock is not yet mass produced and our funds are struggling from severe anorexia.

What is our goal? -that's the question to which we didn't know an answer to at that moment. We had an amazing toy in our hands but what was the purpose of us sharing it with the rest of the world?

What do we get from Pinblock?

We get to bring our wildest imagination into life, experience joy and collaboration, expand our creative horizons and feel like complete children even though we're already adults...

These children need these toys more than anyone else in the world!

The heck with profits, if we help Checkmate Cancer then we accomplished our goal already; even if it's on a smaller scale for the world but it's on the world scale for the kids.

But we don't even have any packages! Jun and Vlad had to put their Santa thinking hats on.

White plain box + clear plastic cover + throw in some pinblocks laying around the house + slap on the Pinblock sticker = HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
