The Star Wars Bloxels set takes the form of a [board game with blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-blocks) that can be used to build a custom game that can be played on one's mobile device. As such, the game boasts huge appeal to kids who are interested in learning the [basics of coding and programming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-code-break), but lack the know-how to craft their own designs from scratch. Each block in the Star Wars Bloxels kit represents a different aspect of the in-game world. While green blocks may be used to build terrain, others like red blocks provide hazards. Users may also use a feature on the app to share their own creations and try out the levels made by others. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Customizable Board Games:** Creating board games with customizable features can provide unique and personalized experiences for players and potentially increase engagement. - **Gamification for Learning:** Introducing coding and programming concepts through gaming can make learning more interactive and enjoyable for kids. - **User-generated Content Gaming:** Incorporating features that allow users to share and play levels created by others can lead to a more collaborative and engaging gaming experience. ### Where This Applies - **Toy and Game Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore creating customizable board games that cater to different preferences and skill levels to capture a wider audience and boost sales. - **Education and E-learning:** Integrating gamification and coding education into e-learning platforms can make learning more interactive and hands-on, propelling student engagement and knowledge retention. - **Mobile App Development:** Designing features that allow user-generated content and social interaction can give mobile games the edge in a highly competitive market, increasing downloads and retention rates. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Buildable Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-lego-connect-4.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise Logo Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brickbuilt-star-wars-logo.md) - [Lego-Centric Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-my-world.md) - [Sci-Fi-Honoring Toy Puzzle Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/force-of-creativity.md) - [Building Block Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-settlers-of-catan.md) - [Multifunctional Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lego-group.md) - [Pixelated Tile Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/click-tile-construction-set.md) - [Sci-Fi Movie Scene Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-death-star-trash-compactor-diorama.md) - [Festive Sci-Fi Building Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-atat-walker.md)
